After breakfast with his mother, Javier walked toward the pekko pen, with his maid Liana following closely behind.
"Ehehehe, buddy! You did great yesterday!" Javier grinned as he filled the trough with fresh pekko feed.
"Eat up! You've earned this feast!"
The pekko squawked happily as it pecked at the food.
Liana stood nearby with her arms crossed and let out a soft sigh. "Young Master, I know you love taking care of your pekko, but don't you think you're spoiling them a bit too much?"
Javier shrugged, giving her a cheeky grin. "Hey, they deserve it! Especially after yesterday's monster-fighting adventure."
Liana raised an eyebrow, clearly not impressed. "If only you showed as much dedication to your studies as you do to this pekko."
"Don't worry, Liana," Javier said with a charming smile. "I promise no more sneaking out… for now."
"Young Master, after this, we're going straight to the study room. No detours, no distractions."
