"Hey, did you know Miss Lucy is going to marry Sir Ruffle?"
"Oh, that fierce history teacher?" Dylan asked, covering his mouth in disbelief.
The door to the restaurant opened, making the bell above the door ring. Aie was still telling Dylan about the scandal of one of the teachers at the academy when Dylan left school, so she didn’t realize that Lazarus had co in and pulled out a chair at the table they were sitting at.
Dylan and Aie imdiately stopped their conversation to see an innocent-looking Lazarus join in and sit at their table without being invited.
"Sorry to interrupt your conversation. It’s cold outside, and I don’t have any money with ." Lazarus turned to Aie, who was frowning. "Aie, did you bring any extra money? May I borrow it to buy food?"
"I-I can pay for your al, Sir." Dylan said, offering his wallet.
Lazarus glanced at Dylan and nodded. "Thank you. I will repay it soon. Give your address. I’ll send the money tomorrow."

Arielle had returned from the chapel, and Tania greeted her with a warm blanket.
"Where is Miss Aie?" asked Tania, who did not see Aie coming back with the princess.
"Aie is eting up with an old friend from her academy. She will co back late. I’ve also asked Lazarus’ help to look after her."
"Oh, alright. How was your trip? Was it good?"
Arielle talked with Tania about her wedding preparations. She told the old woman everything she had gone through today, and Tania listened attentively. Sotis Tania asked a question because she was also very curious about the details of the princess’s wedding.
"Would you like to have lunch now, Your Highness? Because in one hour, you have to et Priest Elis," said Tania, reminding Arielle about her schedule.
"Um... I’m going to pay a visit to His Majesty’s room for a bit to pick up my bunnies," Arielle replied while putting her coat back on.
Tania just smiled. She thought the princess would have lunch together with His Majesty the King, so she went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for the king too.
Arielle walked through the palace grounds and passed Lucas, who was carrying a small bowl of chopped vegetables. It looked like the man wanted to feed Arielle’s rabbits.
"Good afternoon, Lucas," Arielle greeted him, making Lucas turn his head.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness. You have co back? How was your trip? Was it pleasant?"
Arielle nodded enthusiastically. "Very pleasant. Is that lunch for the bunnies?’
"That’s right. His Majesty said to return the rabbits to their cages in the afternoon, waiting for you to return from your trip."
"Ah, I see... Then, just let carry it. I will also visit the king’s office."
Arielle accepted the small bowl. Lucas was allowed to do other jobs again.
Arielle knocked lightly on Ronan’s office door. Without waiting for the owner’s approval, she opened the door. Ronan turned to see who was visiting his room. Then, he smiled when she saw Arielle was the one who visited him.
Ronan quickly lowered Riel from his lap, approaching Arielle. He took off his mask and grabbed her face for a quick kiss.
"I thought you’d be back this afternoon."
"I have promised Priest Elis to learn so things. And everything went smoothly, so I could co back faster."
Ronan grabbed the girl by the hips, then led her inside after closing the door to his room with his leg. He told Arielle to sit on the couch. Seeing Arielle, the five rabbits rushed to surround the girl who was carrying food.
Arielle let go of Ronan’s hands and crouched in front of fireplace to give the bunnies their lunch.
"You take good care of them," Arielle said, making Ronan smile proudly.
"That is not free, of course. I will ask my paynt tonight"
Arielle just smiled, not responding to the man’s words. She sat in daydream while looking at the rabbits that were eating voraciously. Her index finger held Riel’s butt, which was so soft and tender. The rabbits looked clean now. Lucas must have bathed them.
Arielle rarely played with her bunnies due to her busy schedule, as well as they had separate cages outside right now. Sotis Tania forbade her from bringing them back in the room because they were dirty. After they had been bathed, Tania would allow Arielle to take them into the room.
"You said you were going to et Priest Elis? What are you going to learn?"
"It’s a secret," Arielle replied with a laugh that made Ronan frown.
"Secret?" Are you trying to make jealous?" Ronan asked, then stood up to sit with Arielle on the floor.
Actually, Ronan hardly ever sat on the floor. However, ever since he got to know Arielle, Ronan had put himself down on the floor countless tis.
"Are you jealous of Priest Elis? Co on..." Arielle replied with a laugh because she found Ronan so adorable to be jealous of such a thing.
Ronan held Arielle’s body tightly from behind and started to tickle Arielle’s side with another hand. Arielle struggled to escape because she couldn’t hold back the ticklish sensation on her body, but Ronan’s grip was so tight.
"Ronan... please... It is ticklish."
"Tell the purpose of your eting with Priest Elis, and I will let you go."
"Nothing important... I’m just studying as usual... ahahaha...."
"What kind of subject will you learn???" he asked again.
Arielle stuck her foot out, and she accidentally touched the hot iron of the fireplace barrier, making Ronan jump in surprise.
Ronan held Arielle’s leg, checking it thoroughly. "I’m fine," said Arielle, reassuring the man. Ronan could only breathe a sigh of relief after making sure there were no burns left on Arielle’s legs. He would never get used to this. He forgot that Arielle had fire resistance.
Ronan bent down to give Arielle a quick kiss on the leg.
"You surprised ," he said.
