Since it was still morning, Anthony decided to wait until the afternoon before meeting with the Warlord to receive the mission details.
He and Vega spent the morning simply joking around and gisting about various random things. Vega was bragging about how heads always turned whenever she walked into a room, and Anthony simply listened with a smile playing on his lips, indulging her every word.
"So, why didn't you go to Omni Peak Academy? If we'd met sooner, we could have been celebrating our fourth-year dating anniversary by now," Anthony asked as he gently played with Vega's fingers, his voice warm and teasing.
"Sighs... My father said there was nothing to learn there since he could already teach me everything himself, and that I didn't need any connections," Vega replied, her voice holding a touch of exasperation as she sighed.
"Well, that is indeed true. I understand your father's perspective," Anthony nodded, his tone understanding.
