The trio exchanged glances before Selaira locked eyes with the pair. "How about both of you train with me?"
'Thalia as well?' Noa thought in surprise. But he liked the idea of both of them practicing under Selaira, especially when the girl was an outstanding fighter. 'She will be so happy.'
He glanced at his maid to see her reaction.
What met his eyes wasn't something he couldn't have predicted.
But Thalia's genuine smile and a face that brightened instantly weren't on his bingo card. "I knew it," she exclaimed. "I had a premonition that the three of us would train together. We might even become best friends in the future, right?"
"Best friends?" Noa and Selaira exclaimed simultaneously.
The former shook his head. 'I know I told her to get a female friend, but with her of all people? And isn't that too fast?' Noa thought and looked at the startled queen.
Selaira remained silent.
Yet her face had reddened slightly, and not knowing how to react, she nodded gently.
