“Why are you being so rude to my student?”

Marco turned to Leopold, managed to keep his emotions in check and offered a greeting. “Hello, Professor Zizka.

scowl on his face.

His words carried an underlying message as his gaze shifted to Keely, who was eyeing Marco affectionately.

Marco's brows furrowed as he gazed at the stubborn elderly professor before him, completely baffled by the

incomprehensible words coming from his mouth.
