Aurelion and Ylva continued their breakfast in silence.
As he ate, Aurelion occasionally studied Ylva from across the table.
"She's been tasked by Viggo to challenge and defeat me, and it's highly likely Ulrich intentionally arranged for our rooms to be opposite each other. Yesterday, Fendrel deliberately tried to inflame my challenge with Erik for information. They're trying to recruit me into their clan, and they're making moves to do so. Ylva is a naive girl. Keeping her close and making her trust me will be useful. I can use her against the other clans as well."
With these thoughts, he placed his spoon on his plate.
At that moment, the other children were also starting to finish their breakfast, and the woman who had shown Aurelion his room yesterday entered the hall, a list in her hand.
The woman clapped her hands, and all attention turned to her.
"Alright children, you will now have your first lesson. Everyone gather outside."
