"I wanted to ask you something…" Elise added.
I listened to her.
"I have been meaning to ask... You and Anna, when did you start dating?"
SPRUTTT!
"Cough... Cough...! What?!" Both Anna and I said in unison.
"Wait, is that true?" Julius said. "Congrats you two."
"We are not dating!" we added.
"Jeez! I'm just messing with you. Hahahahaha!" Elise erupted in laughter.
Sigh...
How annoying. What should I do with her?
Oh! Wait, that reminds me.
I turned to Anna and asked,
"How did you get permission to come here?"
"Permission?" Anna tilted her head.
Nobles had their own set of rules and ethics. They wouldn't let their children attend just any birthday party—especially a commoner's. And considering their child had just returned from a nightmarish hell…
"My brother had no problem with it since Senior Elise herself requested him," she said smugly.
"..."
That's it? And he just agreed?!
