Seonhwa and Solbi were sitting cross-legged on the plush couch, eating the slice of cake on their plates.
Solbi's cheeks were smeared with chocolate frosting, and she giggled every time she licked it off her fingers.
Valiene sat beside them, savoring her slice with quiet appreciation.
Near the tall arched window, Brandon and Calista stood side by side.
Calista took a delicate bite of her own slice, then spoke without looking away from the window.
"Also, my lord… the information about that woman, Selena."
Brandon nodded, leaning against the windowsill "Did you find anything important?"
Calista shook her head, finishing her bite before answering.
"Nothing much. She lost her parents in childhood... an orphan. Awakened her ether core early, showed exceptional potential, and was admitted to Solvyrn Academy on talent alone."
"Her record is clean. No suspicious connections. Just… a very gifted student from a tragic background."
