    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, do you like being in the center of attention or something?" Tristan couldn''t help but give a dry chuckle as he stared at Keith. He couldn''t believe he would do something like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">No.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He should have expected something like that. It was Keith, after all. And the man himself was too calm with everything.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith tilted his head, "Hmm? But isn''t it normal for students to advertise their inds on the bulletin board?" He thought what he did was pretty normal. There were a lot of people recruiting students on the board.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Why couldn''t he do the same thing?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because your requirements are out of this world," Tristan sighed. His requirements were something no one would think of. Most inds would have many requirements. That way, they wouldn''t get anyonecking.


    <span style="font-weight:400">His is like the most barebone thing ever.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t mind who joins my ind. As long as they''re friendly and open-minded, it''s fine for them to join," Keith answered. The concept of race didn''t matter to him. They were all people.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s also the thing about you being a freshman having an ind as well," It was unheard of for a first-year to have their own ind.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then I''m the first person!" Keith smiled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re not getting through to him, Brother," Carolyn shook her head. Once Keith did something, he wasn''t nning to change it any time soon. That was the type of person he was.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Hah," Tristan took another big sigh. Persuading him was pointless.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Anyways, what kind of food did you bring this time?" Carolyn stared at his lunch box. Keith smiled,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I made some tomato pasta plus some cubed steak from yesterday," He made a few too many steaks yesterday. But Diana and Fira ate like there was no tomorrow. And he couldn''t forget about Cadmus. Everyone ate like beasts.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I want some," Carolyn muttered.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure," Keith took a fork and twirled some for Carolyn.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Good?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Delicious! Did you do something to the steaks? It tastes different,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, you would notice that," Keith chuckled.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I went outside the city to pick up a few herbs. And I found some that were perfect for basting the steak,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s tasty!" Carolynmented as she opened her mouth again. Keith smiled as he fed her again.


    <span style="font-weight:400">He kept doing it for a while.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Can the two of you stop with this?" Gabriel grimaced.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Carolyn and Keith tilted their heads as they stared at him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You guys are acting like a married couple," Tristan added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We are?" Keith tilted his head. And Carolyn added, "We do this all the time,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What? You guys have been doing this all the time?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yeah. When we were kids, I would feed this piggy like no tomorrow," Keith would always do this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hey! I''m not a piggy!" Carolyn red at him. But that was instantly shut down when Keith ced another piece in her mouth. Her expression brightened as she chewed the steak.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ahh," Carolyn pointed at her mouth again. Keith did the same and continued to feed the girl.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''ve been meaning to ask, are the two of you engaged?" Gabriel had to ask this question. The way the two acted was something. It wasmon for kids to have an engagement at a young age.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"No," "Nope," Carolyn and Keith shook their heads.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith added, "I don''t think the king would do something like that for Carolyn," Julius was a dotting father. There was no way he would let Carolyn have an engagement.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That was how much he cared about the girl. If something happened to her, he might go crazy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And I doubt anyone would want to marry this piggy,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What do you mean?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Imagine you with another person is weird." Keithughed. Carolyn with another person? That person either had to be another energetic person or a psycho.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." There was a moment of silence.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What?" He turned to Tristan and the others. They looked at him strangely.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Nothing," The others looked down at their food, trying their best not to stare at him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''ll show you! I will get married and show it off!" Carolyn stated with a pout.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Don''t ever let Uncle Julius hear that," If Julius learned of Carolyn saying this, he might cry tears of blood.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Nothing," Keith sighed, "Here''s another bite," Keith continued to feed her.
