"Until our next lesson, Lady Aries," he said before facing Conan squarely. His smile persisted and tilted his head down slightly before he left. 

Conan glanced at him as the former walked past him. He didn't speak until Dexter left the study.

"Lady Aries, His Majesty said he wants you to accompany him on the training grounds."
