A little while ago, Alea noticed Erica moving over to Cian's seat. Alea clicked her tongue several times as she observed Erica engaging in what seemed like a lively conversation.
"What's wrong, Alea? You seem to be in a sour mood," Damian asked, sitting right in front of her. He had been chatting with Orianna, a girl who happened to be the daughter of a viscount.
Ordinarily, a viscount's daughter wouldn't have the chance to converse with someone like Damian, who was a duke's son. However, Damian had been eager to mature into a full-fledged man as soon as possible, so he didn't mind Orianna striking up a conversation with him. Besides, Orianna was cute, and Damian was always open to cute girls. If he liked them, he'd consider adding them to his list of potential harem members.
"Nothing," Alea replied.
