"That actually just makes me even more curious~ Even though I'm still keeping my manners and not peeking into her status.. Well, I doubt that peeking would tell me everything, though," Frey sighed.

Estelle twirled her finger as she averted her gaze and pretended not to know anything.

"Teacher," Aleksei called in a strict voice. His face hardened, indicating his seriousness regarding this matter.

"I got it, I got it. I went out of the line. I won't tease her anymore," Frey waved, telling Aleksei to drop his overly serious attitude. "You're really no fun, you know that?"

"At least I'm a decent person who knows his morals," Aleksei retorted, snatching Estelle to his side and pulling her backwards.

Estelle jolted from the sudden jerk, but quickly found her balance and looked up to Aleksei.
