"Madam Aria"
"Yes?"
"Why did you bring me here?" Aether asked with a doubtful gaze, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
After nearly escaping punishment, the day had returned to a semblance of normalcy. However, when he visited the Servants' Cafeteria to have brunch, he noticed the other servants giving him strange looks, and Taylor had disappeared for unknown reasons.
He attempted to contact Aqualina, but she seemed preoccupied with her studies, much like Selene and Lia.
With nothing else to do, he decided to roam around the academy, helping a few workers along the way and earning some affection points.
Aria Zephyr, who had been skipping classes, caught him performing these good deeds like a responsible boy. She then brought him to a large playground that surrounded the academy and sat under a tree. Aether did not object to her presence; after all, he needed to score some points with her as well.
