She looked at his face with her neutral expression. He was just as she remembered him. Tall, stern-looking, and radiating a confident presence. He really carried himself like a prince.

Compared to her, the difference was like night and day. She was nowhere near like a princess. For starters, she wasn't tall enough. Second, she couldn't bear to just smile brightly to everyone she met with. She was never a smiler. She only smiled when she genuinely felt happy for something, like when she was entertained by the books she read. So she would only smile when she wasn't meeting other people (she however never knew that her parents often peeked at her just to see that smile, which pretty much doubled her cuteness). Even when she was little, she was always that quiet child who would glare at the guests from a distance. So she couldn't understand why everyone told her she was cute.

"As for my wishes towards my familiar, I only wish him to be a well-mannered person that would not annoy me. Like you, I wouldn't care what ability he might have. I would mostly use him to learn my spells after all," she answered Leo's question bluntly. She was never good in holding back her tongue.
