It was early in the morning after the day of the eting when Seth was having his breakfast, with Ciel standing on his right and his maid Lara on his left to assist her master if required.
Slicing and boning the fish, Seth heard his schedule for the day which consisted of nothing major, and since students were given half day ti to prepare for the upcoming tournant assessnt test, Seth was free after half of the day.
It was a fact that Seth would be joining the team regardless of his results in his assessnt but in yesterday's eting he requested the headmaster regarding his matchup.
Seth asked whether he could just fight against the best from his year. That ans, once all the third years fight amongst themselves and one victor cos out clean, Seth would fight that person and get done with this selection once and for all. He really didn't want to go through all those matches since he already had things going on with both his professional and personal lives.
Though so were startled and so out rightly sneered at Seth's overconfidence, the headmaster had different thoughts as he allowed Seth the permission to perform only once to get selected.
Since the recruitnt duels would be happening for the rest of the two weeks, Seth was told to wait for the fourteenth day before he had to report to the second gymnasium for his match. The student council president humbly received the favor and responded in affirmation.
"Send a letter and arrange a eting with Serena in the evening."
Ciel was a bit surprised to hear the President suddenly call a eting with the blond noble but she had no thought of asking Seth about it. She was just here to comply and so she would do.
"Understood. Would four in the evening be acceptable?"
Seeing the president nod, Ciel took out a beautiful bordered sheet that had a faint sll of jasmine before she began writing the content of the request addressed to Serena.
The secretary was as efficient and diligent as ever, Seth noted.
"Young master. So people have co to see Professor Haruka. Should I allow them in?".
Seth raised his brows as he heard one of the maids informing him about the arrival he was expecting but never thought they would show up this soon.
He wiped his lips before getting up from the table leaving an unfinished al, unusual for Seth which both Lara and Ciel noted signifying that these people who arrived were special enough to make the ever-disciplined Seth Albeck, panic.
Seth didn't mind the gazes he was feeling in his back as after wearing his blazer he went to greet the couple who stood at the entrance of the mansion, a little fidgety.
"Mr. and Mrs. Aldera."
(A/N: - Remind if I have ntioned Haruka's last na.)
The man with black hair which has fallen off and left a shining bowl of baldness was surrounded by already whitening hair, jerked before looking at Seth. His short stature and timid expression spoke the truth about his personality and the reason for his demise in the past.
The violet-haired lady beside her who was slightly taller than her husband and had a similar nose to her daughter seed a little less affected by all this atmosphere and Seth's sudden approach as she walked forward to greet him.
"Hello. I am Maiko and this is my husband, George."
"Nice to et you, Maiko and George. I am Seth Albeck, Professor Haruka's student and soone who is currently taking care of her."
Both of them flinched hearing their daughter's na as the urgency to see her rose evidently, and Seth could understand their worries.
Hearing that soone none other than Haruka's fiancè tried to kill her in the school, was frightening which didn't let the couple sleep the whole night as they boarded the carriage and left for the academy as soon they could.
In the letter which was sent from the academy, it was stated that since there might be so other attack that could be targeted toward Haruka, that was why she was getting dical attention in one of the most responsible students' humble abode for the ti being.
And now seeing the boy in front of their sight, they could sense that he indeed seed soone older than his age and quite considerate. Not to talk about how he was an Albeck yet he had such a humble nature that he walked out to greet the couple by himself.
"Well, it's freezing outside so why not talk inside?"
The Aldera couple were a little hesitant but under the kind gaze of Seth, they didn't ponder much and slowly made their way inside the mansion.
"Umm...if possible then can we see Haruka first?"
The husband glared at his wife for opening her mouth and demanding like that from soone of Seth's position even though he had done such heavy favor to them by letting Haruka stay at his place.
But Seth had no issue with such a request as he replied in the sa warm tone, to let the couple ease up a bit.
"Sure. Please follow upstairs."
Maiko was again amazed to see how kind Seth was but for now, her anxiety was rising with each second to see her daughter and ensure that she was alright.
Seth made his way toward the first floor followed by his maid and secretary who didn't speak a word about the couple. Ciel knew that Haruka was here but under what circumstances, she was unsure of it.
Reaching upstairs Seth led them to the room which belonged to him but for now, he was staying in the guest room since his professor was still recovering from her trauma of being brainwashed.
Seth himself didn't go inside and just watched Haruka's parents tearing up at the sight of their daughter. Seth watched the scene for a few seconds before turning toward Lara.
"Arrange them a room if they want to stay and provide the necessities. Once the Professor wakes up and if I am at the academy, you know how to contact right?"
Seeing Haruka nodding obediently, with determination flaring in her eyes like an important mission was delegated to her, Seth couldn't help but chuckle inwardly before he leaned forward and pecked his cute maid on the lips.
Ciel had no particular reaction but what buzzed inside of her was sothing she could never tell anyone, especially not her room partner who was behaving weirdly since yesterday.
(A/N: - If you forgot, Anabelle and Ciel are room partners.)
Lara blushed slightly before she began following her master who already was on his way downstairs. Her day was already made as she hoped to be praised by her master more once he returns.
Walking out of the mansion, both Ciel and Seth boarded the carriage and after being cheered with a fare well from his maids, Seth and Ciel began their short journey toward the Academy.
Seth turned his gaze downward where appeared a small pearly necklace which Serena gave him so ti ago as he thought about the reason he called the eting.
'I hope I can get so of my answer from you, Serena... '
