Beside her, a dark-haired noble boy with House Thorne's crest clicked his tongue irritably. "Calm down, Claire. You're drooling."
"Shut up, Lukas, you're just jealous!" Claire whispered fiercely with flushed cheeks. But she turned her head and looked at Lukas with unkind eyes, "And why are you even here? I already told you I don't like you."
Lukas gritted his teeth and stood up before leaving without saying another word.
Further ahead, a boy named Leon whispered excitedly to his companions, "He knows Princess Arya personally? Maybe those rumors about him aren't exaggerated."
"Quiet, Leon!" hissed a girl named Maya. "He'll hear you!"
"Well, I don't think he would mind us. After all," another young man named Dane pointed around them, "Everyone is already discussing him."
The trio looked at each other and decided to mind their own business.
