Morning arrived, and sunlight streamed through the mansion's windows. Leo stretched, his body still feeling the remnants of yesterday's upgrade. He got out of bed, dressed, and descended the stairs, the smell of cooking guiding him to the kitchen. Aisha was already up, humming softly as she prepared breakfast.
"Good morning," Leo greeted, pulling out a chair at the table.
"Morning," Aisha replied with a smile, setting a plate of food before him. "I was just about to call you. Eat up before it gets cold."
They sat in comfortable silence, the sound of clinking utensils filling the room. When Leo finished his meal, he placed his fork down and took a deep breath. It was time to break the news.
"Aisha," he began, his tone calm but serious, "I wanted to let you know that I'll soon be joining a prestigious academy for nobles. I'll be living there as a student."
