Albedo's brow twitched slightly, though his expression stayed cool as he questioned, "Exchange program?"
Lilian's crimson eyes lit up in delight, clearly savoring the opportunity to be the one bringing news he didn't know, "Mhm~ In just a few months, Zephyr Academy will be sending a select group of first-years to the Demon Kingdom for an official visit. Just a small group, 'cultural exchange,' they're calling it."
Her voice held a mischievous cadence, like she was dangling bait. "The faculty are already finalizing the list. Can you guess whose name is already at the top?"
"Mine, I'm assuming," Albedo said flatly, not taking the bait.
"Mhm~" Lilian confirmed, grinning, "And lucky for you, you'll be visiting our home turf. The capital, the markets, the training halls, the Beast Arenas, oh, I cannot wait to see you there. You'll love it."
