Liana exhaled, one hand resting on her hip while the other pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Mimi…"
"Nya?" Mimi's upside-down head tilted slightly, her ears flopping to the side. "Yes, Big Sis?"
Liana lowered her hand, offering a patient smile. "The new junior has just arrived and is currently in a meeting with Young Master and the rest of the royal family. We will introduce ourselves to her when the time is right. Most likely after the formal audience with His Majesty."
Mimi's tail gave a slow, thoughtful sway. "Nyaaa… so we have to wait?"
"Yes, Mimi. We have to wait."
Mimi let out a dramatic, exaggerated sigh, her body swaying slightly as she hung from the branch. "Okay, nya~"
Gloria shook her head and walked back toward the portable magic grill. She raised her hand, about to channel her mana to ignite it, when Mimi's voice cut through the air again, her eyes squinting as she raised a hand to shield her brow.
"Nya?"
Gloria paused, glancing up at her. "What now, Mimi?"
