The bustling cafeteria faded away as Alex and Brittany slipped into a dimly lit hallway. Moonlight peeked through a nearby window, casting ethereal stripes across the worn stone floor. There was a soothing silence in place of the students' raucous chatter, providing a safe haven for their unexpected conversation.
Brittany, conjured a magical display. A shimmering text message materialized in the air, its message clear:
[Dear my daughter,. I hear Mr. Ten or Alex were in the same place as you. I want you to tell him that he's more than welcome to our kingdom, since Aseira, your aunt, trusts him so much.]
"Read it," Brittany instructed, her gaze locked on Alex's face.
Alex scanned the message.
He looked back at Brittany, his voice a low murmur, "You're... Aseira's nephew?"
Brittany nodded, a hint of pride flickering in her eyes. "Yes, she's my aunt."
