章 544: Chapter 180 - Grand Ball (part 3)

Aerena curtsied once more and asked, indeed sounding curious – so Zoemi stopped himself from asking about Reo whom he didn't meet or even briefly seen for quite some time already.

They didn't even manage to meet at the Academy – for however briefly the black-haired boy had returned there for, at least.

The two corpse puppet sentinels cheered out without much thought or consideration – causing a wave of shock to spread around anyone within audible distance.

"O-oh, I see... then, by any chance are you the mother...?"

Aerena looked between Ettemi and Oemir who judging by the looks alone had no possible way of being the offspring of the black-haired boy, and then timidly turned to Elsby for confirmation.
