While Elena was daydreaming about the fun time she would be having with Mia and Orion soon, a knock suddenly sounded on her door and Lucille walked into the room while holding two cups in her hand.


    "You''re done?" She asked, walking closer to Elena''s desk.


    "Yes."


    "Well done, Your Highness," She ced the cup of coffee she was holding on the desk.


    "Thank you, Lucille, and what about you?"


    "Almost done, but I''ve got some good news and some bad news," Lucille revealed, feeling that Elena might not really want to hear either of the news because of how exhausted she currently was.


    However, Elena wasn''t bothered by this. "Let''s hear it."


    Although Elena was rubbing and patting her sore arms, she simply wanted to hear what Lucille had to say.


    She didn''t mind whatever the good news might be, but if the bad news involved her doing some extra work that wouldn''t take much of her time, then she would try her best to get it done at once.


    Lucille cleared her throat as she began to share the news. "The good news is that we were able to review a lot of the students'' opinions before daybreak, but the bad news is that we still have about five hundred more to review."


    Hearing this, Elena released a sigh. "Can''t we postpone the remaining five hundred till tomorrow?"


    "We could, but extending it will only increase the amount of work we have to do tomorrow."


    "I guess you''re right, but it''s really a shame."


    "What do you mean, your Highness?"


    "Oh, it''s nothing. I just promised Mia and Orion that I would spend the day with them today."


    "I''m sure they''ll understand how busy…" While Lucille was still talking, she suddenly stopped when she heard the office door open.


    "Hey, gorgeous. How are you doing?" Orion asked Elena as he stepped into her office.


    Elena giggled as she replied. "I''m fine, handsome," She was really happy to see Orion this morning.


    It almost felt as though he had read her mind and decided toe over to her office, but Elena was just d to see his face.


    However, Lucille was surprised to see Orion walking into the room. "Your Highness? What are you doing here?"


    "Do I need a reason to see my woman?"


    Elena giggled at his words and she replied before Lucille could say anything. "No, dear. You''re more than wee to visit me anytime."


    Orion''s presence had lifted her mood and despite her previously exhausted look, she now had a smile on her face.


    Her favorite nephew was simply the best, he knew the right words to say to make her smile every morning.


    "I understand your rtionship with the Headmistress, Prince Galdur, but you simply can''te in and out whenever you feel like it."


    "It''s fine, Lucille, I''m pleased he''s here to see me," Elena informed Lucille while Orion poked his tongue out at Lucille, causing Lucille to harrumph as she returned back to her seat.


    Meanwhile, Orion walked closer to Elena and she asked. "So, what brings you here so early in the morning? I believe I told you and Mia that I would head over to your ce once I''m done here?"


    "I know, Aunt Elena, but I couldn''t wait to see my beautiful aunt. I''ve missed you so much."


    "I''ve missed you too, dear," Elena replied with a giggle.


    "So are you done?"


    "Not yet, dear. I still have a few things to do but don''t worry; Auntie will do her best to finish it all as fast as she can. You can sit and wait over there while I get these done now," Elena pointed over to the couch at the far end of the room for Orion to sit, but he wasn''t interested in doing that.


    "Nope, we''re leaving now."


    Now, he was standing beside Elena as he ced his hand on her cheeks, caressing them gently.


    "What''s wrong dear?"


    "You were awake all night long, weren''t you?" Orion asked, noticing the dark circles underneath Elena''s eyes.


    "Yes, I had to. There were a lot of things that needed to be done and…"


    "You work too hard. Are you trying to win the best Headmistress award or something?"


    "No, silly. I have to work hard so that every other staff in the academy won''t have an excuse to bezy."


    "Is that why you haven''t had a good sleep for the past two months?"


    "Your mom told you about that didn''t she?"


    "Yep, and now it''s time for you to leave this ce," Orion lifted her from the seat.


    "Huh? Hey, what are you doing?" Elena swiftly wrapped her arms around his neck as Orion lifted her into a bridal carry.


    "Taking you away from your seat," He swiftly teleported to a couch in the office before sitting down with Elena seated down on hisp while her hands were still wrapped around his neck.


    "You do know that I have a lot of things to do, right?"


    "Yeah, I do, but your Deputy can handle the rest of them, right?" Orion turned towards Lucille.


    "I guess I could allow her to take a break. To be honest, I wanted her to take a break sincest week but your aunt wouldn''t listen. I really think she works a bit too muchpared to everyone else."


    "Yep, Ipletely understand. My beautiful aunt is definitely a workaholic," Orion straightened his aunt''s messy hair before slowly cing her head on his shoulder.


    "I''m not a workaholic," Elena pouted with a hint of redness on her cheeks, seeing how Orion was treating her like a little girl but she didn''t hate it.


    She really liked feeling pampered by her favorite and only nephew.


    However, her eyes suddenly widened when she noticed how close they were.


    "I think you need to stop staying so close to me. I haven''t taken my bath this morning and I…"


    "Do you really think I''ll be bothered about that? Oh, that reminds me, there''s something I want you to see."


    "What is this?"
