Meanwhile, Kyle and Catherine were taking a stroll through the castle gardens.
Alfred, who had been accompanying them, had vanished without anyone noticing at some point. In the rose garden blooming with flowers, only Kyle and Catherine remained.
Kyle's mouth twitched. That rotten old man Alfred was downright devious; his intentions were far too obvious.
Even if he wanted Kyle to become his granddaughter's husband, he shouldn't have used such an obvious tactic, should he?
"What's life at Hogwarts like, Kyle?" Catherine asked curiously.
She attended Beauxbatons, a wizarding school nestled in the Pyrenees Mountains. It boasted a magnificent manor that left visitors in awe, surrounded by vast magically conjured lawns and breathtaking mountain scenery.
As the granddaughter of Alfred, a loyal Saint, it was only natural for her to be curious about Hogwarts, the school that had produced the White Wizard who once defeated Grindelwald.
Hearing how she addressed him, Kyle felt it sounded too distant. "Miss Catherine, just call me Kyle."
"Is that okay? Then I'll call you that, Kyle." The girl smiled brightly. "Then you can just call me Catherine too."
In the distance, Alfred, who had been secretly keeping an eye on them, couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw his granddaughter chatting so happily with the Little Demon King.
After chatting with Catherine for a while about things that, if any one of them were brought up, would make Dumbledore stage "The Headmaster's Rage" at Hogwarts, Kyle finally asked the question that had been on his mind.
"By the way, Catherine, why do you look..."
"Like an East Asian, right?" Catherine immediately knew what Kyle wanted to ask.
Kyle felt a little embarrassed. "Sorry, was that a bit presumptuous?"
"It's fine." Catherine smiled faintly.
