Just as the white hippopotamus, Sophie, was about to come ashore, the Headmaster of Barbatos Academy appeared, as if sensing their presence.
As a Saint, it was very easy for Alexander to know if someone of the same rank was approaching his domain. However, he never expected that the Saint that he sensed was not an enemy, but someone very dear to him.
"Mother?" Alexander asked. "Is that really you?"
"Yes, Alex," Vera replied. "It is me."
Lux, who expected that his Stepfather wouldn't immediately recognize Vera, sighed in his heart. He had never seen what his Grandma looked like when she was young, so he thought that Alexander would be the same, unable to identify his mother due to her current appearance.
What Lux didn't know was that aside from the hair color, Vera looked exactly the same as when she was younger.
Just like the other descendants of the Kaizer family, Vera's former hair color when she was young was blue. Now, it was silver.
