THE DATE (IV)

WHEN Aster and Wulfric entered the spooky castle, an AI robot immediately welcomed them. "Good morning! Welcome to the Dark Queen's Castle! Are you going to avail the regular tour or the special tour? But seeing as you came as a couple, I suggest that you take the couple challenge to have a more fun and exciting experience."

Wulfric froze when he heard the word 'couple'. He secretly glanced at Aster, wanting to see the other's reaction. If he would correct what the AI robot had said. But Aster's expression didn't change much. 

A question floated in Wulfric's mind – 'does Aster not mind?'. Or maybe he thought that it wasn't that much of a big deal. After all, there's no point in correcting the assumption of an AI robot.

Thinking of the possibility that it could be that reason, he couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Because it meant that Aster wasn't really thinking too deeply of the relationship between them.
