Young master Deán woke up early in the morning, I remembered waking up for like a minute when he got out from bed. He whispered into my ear that he would go training... this guy was a maniac.

He let me sleep, though, but somewhen later I felt his gentle touch on my shoulder and I heard his voice.

- What do you want for breakfast, Winnie? – he asked.

- Whatever – I murmured back, half-asleep... then I realized that I was in the room of the son of the Grandmaster. I wanted to shout after him that "something fancy!", but he was already leaning out from the door, talking with someone. I supposed with the servant.

I sat up and stretched my arms, but it was always a slow process to wake up for me. I needed some minutes while the young master was already in his usual clothes, perfectly ready for the day. But I noticed that his bandana wasn't perfectly on its right place. He always had two locks of hair out of it, giving a frame to his face. I really liked how good he looked that way.

- Come here – I asked him and he walked over to the bed.

- Did you sleep well? Did I hit you while sleeping? – he smiled a little while I adjusted his bandana correctly.

- No, you didn't. We may be actually working, truly. Here, it's on its place now – I smiled at him.

- I wasn't sure what you like for breakfast, so I asked a little from everything. I know that you're a big eater – he said. And he was right... and he truly asked a little from everything... There was a knock on the door and the two trays of breakfast was left in front of it. Heaven Seers ate pretty healthily which wasn't really my taste... but I was a street kid, I wasn't choosy. We were sitting by the table together – I stole the kimono he was sleeping in and took it on, so I wouldn't bother him with wearing only a few clothes.

- Are you always eating alone? – I asked.

- Yes. My father and brother have a really difficult time schedule, it always changes... so I got used to it – he explained. I noticed that June was right when she told me that he kinda had no appetite. He ate only a small portion... I couldn't wrap my head around this.

I knew that Heaven Seers weren't only strict about the women but the food too. They thought that eating less than normal human being strengthened their willpower. They often held fasts too... for a street kid, these kind of things seemed to be the stupidest ones.

The young master had never been the most talkative guy in the world, but the more time I spent with him, the more I realized it. But it was a comfortable silence, for my biggest surprise, that accompanied us even when we decided to set off to school. He patiently waited outside while I changed my clothes and we were walking there together. Which seemed to trouble him for some reason, so I asked him:

- What's wrong?

- Knowing how much you hate this whole supporter situation... are you fine with going to school with me? I mean, they will know it before the first class... - he said.

- Oh. Well, they would eventually get to know it anyways. Are you fine with going school with the worst brat in the class?

- If you're ready then I'm ready – he nodded, but we never actually made it even until the gate of the Palace. A servant ran after Deán and asked him to accompany him to Grandmaster Raffen because he wanted to talk to him about something.

- Then see you in class – I smiled at him. I was left alone, but I was close enough to the main door to find my way. It was still early, so I didn't have to worry about anyone seeing me coming out from the Palace.
