Elemental Relay [1]

As the Principal appeared at the center of the arena, standing mid-air, my gaze subconsciously turned toward Aria. I knew a bit about her relationship with her grandfather from the novel. Although it wasn't bad, it wasn't exactly good either.

Sir Arwen had little time to spend with Aria since she was a child because of his work and many responsibilities. While Aria adored him and aspired to live up to the family legacy, the emotional distance between them created an unspoken tension. Despite his towering presence and unmatched power, Sir Arwen struggled to connect with his granddaughter on a personal level, often prioritizing the greater good over familial bond time.

Though I am sure she knows why he does it and always protects her. But that understanding didn't completely erase the loneliness she felt growing up. I could see the flicker of emotion in her eyes as she looked up at him. Her expression was a mix of admiration, longing, and a hint of sadness.
