"His habit of doting on her and spoiling her hasn't changed one bit."
At that, Elric smirked faintly, his tone teasing yet respectful.

"Father did not spoil me that much, okay?"
Elric chuckled lightly, bowing his head as if trying to hide his amusement.
"I wholeheartedly disagree with that statement."
Serena opened her mouth, searching for a retort, but after a few seconds of silence, she sighed heavily, admitting defeat.
"Tch… forget it."
She quickly changed the subject, her eyes drifting back toward Alex's unconscious figure.
"Let's go and see how Alicia is doing. Last I heard, after the incident, she hasn't even been attending her classes or fulfilling her duties as the Student Council President properly."
Her lips curved into a smirk.
