Aaliyah still harbored doubts about Anna's identity and therefore remained silent, but Neil was sharp and sensed the tension. He lowered his voice and said:
"Uncle Aaliyah, I know you have your concerns, but before we meet my father, please show Anna the respect she is due. You saw how things were at the port; given how much the Shark King values her, we cannot afford to be discourteous. After all, Aunt Anna played a major role in helping us secure the troops so smoothly."
Aaliyah nodded and smiled. "Don't worry, Your Highness. While I have my doubts, Anna is still of the royal family. Regardless of whether she stands with us, I will not withhold the respect she is owed. I am very gratified to see you looking at the bigger picture, Your Highness."
