"Hello, Ms. Raven Noir," Kai greeted with a hint of respect, his eyes narrowing slightly as he watched Raven interact with his servant.
Raven barely acknowledged him with a nod, her demeanour cool and distant.
Kai's eyes twitched with suppressed irritation. "Do you need something?" he asked, his voice tight.
Raven turned her sharp gaze to Aether, her expression unreadable, "Isn't he Aqualina's servant? What is he doing here with you?"
Kai raised an eyebrow in surprise, a flicker of annoyance crossing his features. 'Why does everyone only talk to me when it's about Aether?' he thought bitterly. Grinding his teeth inwardly, he forced a calm response, "Since Aqualina is my fiancee, her servant is also under my command," he said, carefully avoiding the truth—Aqualina had warned him not to reveal any secrets.
Raven stared at him for a long moment, her gaze as piercing as ever. Before the tension could thicken, a voice cut through the air.
