Errinette leaned back slightly, her piercing gaze sweeping over the room. Then, in a tone that allowed no room for argument, she declared—
"And these two"—she gestured toward Iria and Iziya, who immediately tensed up again—"will be attending the Maid Training Program once we return to the Armand region."
Iria and Iziya visibly paled.
Javier nodded absentmindedly. "Mmm, makes sense."
But then—
Errinette's eyes locked onto him.
"And because of you, young master… these two"—her gaze flicked toward Liana and Gloria—"will also participate in the Maid Training Program. AGAIN!"
Silence.
Javier froze.
Liana and Gloria, who had been standing calmly, suddenly stiffened.
Errinette's words slowly sank in.
Liana and Gloria's heads snapped toward Javier, their sharp glares piercing into him like twin daggers.
"Errr… umm…" Liana let out a rare stammer.
"A-Ara… again…?" Gloria's usual amused tone wavered.
