Alex couldn't have told her the whole thing about the Ascension Trials and the things waiting for them out there. It would complicate things.
A single word she speaks would have made her the subject of suspicion in front of others. And considering Headmaster Hector's skills, it would be dangerous for Celestria to know everything.
So he just vaguely gave her the reason, "Something is about to happen, in which I would need your father's support. However, if I tell him that I am romantically involved with his precious daughter, do you think he would agree to support me?"
Alex scoffed before adding, "Forget about support, he might as well send forces to capture me."
Celestria sobbed, "Why do you think my father would not accept our relationship?"
"Because...of our status? Isn't it obvious?"
