The Immortal Demon King, Dendrossa, has arrived?!

(POV: Lumiere) 

Anastasia's joyful expression faded, and she bowed her head respectfully, greeting Lucretia with a timid "Good morning, Miss Lucretia."

Quietly, Simone, who was standing behind Lucretia, offered me a slight nod— a silent form of greeting. 

I acknowledged her greeting with a small nod. 

"What're you doing here?" 

Lucretia shot a sharp question at Anastasia. 

The look on her face was the same as the time she found out who I was. 

Not a good look... 

In the face of Lucretia's questioning gaze, Anastasia composed herself and explained with utmost respect, "I'm assisting Professor Lumiere in getting a head start on the day."

Lucretia's gaze turned sharp as she turned her attention to Anastasia, disapproval weighing heavily on her words. "Couldn't he do that by himself?" she questioned.
