Chapter 56
There are many students who attend the Imperial Academy. It's common for classmates to be nothing more than acquaintances.
Naturally, relationships between upper and lower years weren't particularly close either.
Even Anastasia, though she and I had graduated from the same academy, only ever interacted with me on a purely professional level.
And yet, from my mouth had come the word “Senior” in a familiar tone?
“He’s a kind and gentle person.”
Kind? Gentle?
Kiaros narrowed his eyes.
“From the way you speak of him, it seems you two are quite close.”
He couldn’t imagine Namia being close to anyone.
Hadn’t she said before that there wasn’t even anyone she could go to a restaurant with?
He never imagined there might be a friendly man in her life.
She always had that lifeless look, like she’d just go “Ah, yeah,” over and over again.
