(Author's POV)
Alaric, Brave and Elisa were settled inside Brave's car, while the other three, Dion, Elio and Nora were riding back in Alaric's.
The chattering of the nearby people and the occasional honking of cars filled the atmosphere, but the ride back to the mansion was utterly silent in both vehicles, especially inside Brave's car.
Alaric, who was occupying the passenger's seat, had countless questions he wanted to ask his brother. But he didn't want to mind link him, it would only disturb Brave while he was driving. So, he refrained from doing so.
He then gazed at Elisa from the rear view mirror, contemplated something for a long while and then decided to finally speak, "Secretary Queens~ …."
Both Brave and Elisa were left startled. Alaric wasn't someone who would initiate conversation, especially with the opposite gender. So, neither of them was expecting him to call for Elisa.
