Chapter 26: Urgent Mission
The next morning arrived quickly.
It was Gray's rest day after 2 days of teaching Chloe. Still, instead of sleeping late, he decided to wake up early to prepare breakfast for Lily and help her get ready for school.
As soon as Lily woke up, she took a shower and changed her clothes. Afterward, she sat on the couch in the living room, tying her shoes with messy hands while still almost half-asleep.
"You look like you fought a battle in your dreams, Lily," Gray teased lightly as he knelt beside her to help her fix her loosened laces.
"Yes, brother. I dreamed that I was a fairy and that I was fighting a dragon," Lily puffed her cheeks and pouted as she recalled her dreams.
"Oh? Our Lily is a princess now?" Gray chuckled in amusement that made the two of them laugh.
"Yes, brother."
"Alright, Princess Lily. Eat breakfast now so we can go to your class."
"Yes, Brother!"
Lily quickly ate her breakfast. When she was done, they immediately stepped out of their apartment's building, the morning sun greeting them. The weather today was gentle, and since it was early, the streets were still quiet.
The two quickly boarded a bus. When they got off, they walked for a few more minutes to get to Lily's school gate.
