Chapter 9: CH 9: MILIA (3)

Slowly opening the enclosed bedroom door, Milia entered the room, her steps etched with a grace born from years of training.

Milia responded, a beautiful smile formed on her lips, her head tilted, a mischievous glint flickering in her calm gaze, "You mean aside from wanting to meet you?"

Blushing a little at the blunt words spoken, Sol floundered to find an answer to her teasing. Milia could be incredibly forward sometimes and in those rare moments, he would get flustered by her affectionate remarks, no matter how used to her flirtatious antiques he grew to become over the years.

"Fufufu. It makes me happy to still see you blushing like that. I was worried—"

"—No, it's nothing. As for your answer, while I indeed wished to see you. My main purpose in coming here was to remind you that lady Edea expects you at her library for your lesson."

Abruptly gasping in surefire panic, Sol's back drenched in cold sweat as he was reminded about the appointment with his teacher, he almost missed it.
