Whereabouts of Spirit Fire

Archie's words baffled Sonia, and she didn't know how to retort to them. 

'Has it been really just a ruse like mom told me?' She thought indiscreetly. 

Nevertheless, she still didn't buy it so quickly. But as Archie said, if he really entered the Royal Demon Institute, she would be alone with her father and mother and there won't an Archie who could create trouble, so it was definitely a plus. 

Ace didn't make things awkward and moved on before leaving one last line, "Tell, elder brother, sorry for me as well, if you think it's worth it." 

Sonia squinted before she followed him silently, but didn't agree or rejected him.
