The daily routine had become monotonous. Waking up the students at 6:30 am, teaching them at 9:00 am, and so on – the typical duties of a teacher.
Though it was boring, there were small pleasures to be found. Stray cats often lingered outside, offering Sebastian some charm and amusement during his breaks. Unfortunately, the school's strict policy against pets meant he had to bid them farewell before attending to his students.
Sebastian wasn't obligated to take on this role; he was merely following orders from his young master, who happened to be a student at the school. Their arrangement was clandestine, for if their secret were exposed, they risked expulsion and scandal, jeopardizing their mission to fulfill the Queen's orders.
However, their luck took a turn when someone stumbled upon their secret – Professor Nani, a housemaster. To Sebastian, Nani was irrelevant. While their interactions were occasionally enjoyable, he remained focused solely on obeying his young master, without indulging in friendships with other housemasters.
Professor Nani remained silent about Sebastian's secret, sparking intrigue within Sebastian. Spotting his colleague marking papers during the afternoon break, Sebastian approached him with a cup of tea.
"Marking papers, I see? Quite tedious, I must say," Sebastian remarked, his smug smile directed at Nani. All Sebastian wanted was to know how much Nani knew about him and his young master and he'll use whatever method to pry that information out.
