Asher continued to walk with calm, measured steps, Lyra following close behind, with Virelass accompanying them as she hummed softly and melodiously. As they walked within the long hallway, various maids and butlers were stunned to see Asher, but their shock did not last more than a second before they bowed to him in greeting, yet Asher simply walked past them without batting an eye, his expression remaining indifferent and composed.
"So, how have you been, Lyra?" Asher asked with a calm tone as he walked, arriving at the staircase that led to the ground floor.
"I've been well, Young Master. According to your orders, I've been training a lot, and I've gotten to the Radiant Firmstar Life Rank, just a step away from crossing into the next Life Rank, the Dust Wavestar" Lyra replied as she smiled, clearly pleased with her own progress and the fruits of her persistent effort.
