"Seriously, the Elves are a pain," Alex grumbled, which made Lavinia smirk. "The only good Elf is Lapiz."
"How about her sister, Aeris?" Lavinia arched an eyebrow.
"What's so good about her?" Alex inquired.
"She's good at everything," Lavinia answered without hesitation. "She's beautiful, talented, strong, and she's loved by the students."
"That might be true, but I think you're more beautiful, and more talented than her."
Lavinia wasn't expecting to be praised by Alex, so the young man's words caught her by surprise.
"… Do you really mean that?" Lavinia looked at Alex, doing her best to not smile sweetly from his compliment.
"I do." Alex nodded. "If not for the fact that your older brother is my Master, I might have already asked you out to become my girlfriend."
Lavinia blinked once, then twice, as a deep feeling of wishing to eliminate her brother, Cairo, rose from her chest.
