Javier shook his head with a soft chuckle as Mahira gracefully poured another cup of coffee for him.
He glanced up at Mahira with a warm smile. "Congratulations on ranking up to 4th place in the single category. Moving from 8th to 4th is quite the leap."
Mahira offered a polite, graceful bow, though a faint blush touched her cheeks. "Thank you, Your Highness. Though I must admit, I still have a long way to go to match the popularity of Erisa, Liana, or Gloria. Their presence is… rather formidable."
Javier smiled, appreciating her humility. "The voting isn't over yet, Mahira. The final results won't be published until after Prince Aelius and Princess Athine's wedding. There's still time for things to shift."
