"Alex, please accept this gift of apology!"
Alex blinked once then twice as Lavinia, and Evangeline pulled him behind their backs. The two ladies took a fighting stance as they faced off against Diona, who was holding out a wrapped gift in her hands.
"Don't come closer or we will attack," Lavinia warned.
"I don't know what's inside that box," Evangeline said coldly. "But don't think that we will be tricked by your schemes."
It had been three days since Alex's and Lavinia 's return.
Their Bestiary Lessons had just ended, but Diona asked Alex to remain because she had something to tell him.
Charles wanted to stay behind as well. But when he saw that Lavinia, and Evangeilne had already moved to Alex's side as if they had come to an understanding, he allowed himself to be dragged away by Nessia to give them some privacy.
