When Louis stepped out of Mirai's room, Zorba and Anastasia were right there, pressed against the door, clearly eavesdropping without any attempt at subtlety.
The prince's temper flared instantly.
"What are you two clowns doing?!" he demanded angrily. "I was coming to check on you, but I see you're just fine! Maybe it's time to teach you a lesson about never eavesdropping on private conversations?"
"I-I'm so sorryyyyy!" Anastasia pleaded. "Zorba forced me!"
"What?!" Zorba gasped as Anastasia blamed him. "That's not true—she came here on her own!"
"Hmph…" Louis clicked his tongue. "I'll let it slide because of what you did for me yesterday. Have you eaten breakfast? Are your bodies okay?"
Zorba and Anastasia exchanged glances. Despite his anger, Louis had forgiven them easily, and more surprisingly, he sounded genuinely worried. He even asked if they had eaten.
"Are you listening to me?!" he snapped.
