☀️ Arselia and Akonia

“Alright, Ayano, I’ll keep that in mind. So, let’s not make this sound too presumptuous, but don’t hesitate to come to me for advice or help, okay? Considering our shared background, I think there are things you can only discuss with me, and vice versa. And as for my beloved… we got married after my name had already disappeared from the country’s political scene, so you probably don’t know him. He was a Larian baron, but he didn’t have much influence in society or great wealth. If you want, I can tell you more about it later, but that story isn’t suitable for the current situation. And thank you for the offer. Princess Naria pays me 50 rems a day, although, thanks to the free meals, I haven’t had a chance to assess the purchasing power of one rem yet.” At the gates of the academy, Sonata and Ayano encounter one of the students.

“Ayano, is that you? Good day. Do you remember me? I’m Suzuya Minako.” The girl bowed to both of them in a Japanese style. “We met a month ago.”
