Chapter 41

Today was supposed to be a memorial celebration for Aster's late grandfather, celebrating his achievements and such, turned into a congratulatory party after Harkin Krii announced Aster's training for succession.

He had no choice but to grit his teeth and thank his vixen of a relative. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw his friends and happily excused himself.

"Aster!" Rue enthusiastically called out and waved.

Aster waved back, saying, "It's been a while."

Leo stared at him blankly and said, "It's been a while."

Aster was dumbfounded for a while. Leo was his childhood best friend, and right now, he was looking at him with resentment. "...Did I do something wrong?"

"Of course not." He added, "Well, I'm hungry, so I'm leaving now."

'I definitely did! '

Fira laughed awkwardly and comforted, "Don't worry too much. He's just a bit upset."
