“New regulations related to etiquette have been newly established by the decree. The academy will be the first place to implement them, and we’ll announce and apply the regulations in advance.” He got straight to the main point without any other speeches.

- “The white one is worn only by those using the first dormitory as special guest attire.” “It's a tool for distinguishing classes.” “Yes. However, wearing it is optional.” “Optional…” Ariel recalled what happened at the main gate. The scrutiny and tense atmosphere were freezing. If it continued, it would be seriously exhausting, and she didn't want that. Still, there was one thing that bothered her, so Ariel hesitated in making her choice. “Would it be a problem if I…

- The student in front of her went through the familiar confirmation and took a step forward. Judging by the uniform, they weren't a new student. The administrator glanced at her attire and then changed the list. “Documents.” The tone was curt and quite authoritative. Ariel carefully held out the transfer documents she had prepared. The administrator, who had been checking the documents without hesitation, suddenly went silent. He stepped back as if frightened, then quickly changed his…

- Devoncia, who had just finished the meeting, saw a jewelry box lying in his office and called for a maid. “Who is this from?” “It's a gift from the County of Huckley.” “Ah, it must be something she brought with her during her visit.” It was natural for County Huckley to offer a tribute since he was the one who supervised Ariel’s. He smiled with satisfaction and opened the jewelry box. A finely crafted diamond sparkled on the velvet sheet. “So, where is the Princess…

- “Are you sure?” “Yes, Your Highness. The third-floor window is the room where Young Lord Solem is. The shadow of a person lingered for a while." “Okay. I’ll check it myself.” Skylar’s voice. As the sensations in her entire body became tense, Ariel's complexion turned pale from the approaching fear. Since it was a reception room at the end of the hallway, there was only one exit… and that was facing the person coming up the stairs. Running into Skylar was…

- Ariel ascended the spiral staircase, stepping on it round and round. After passing through the door on the second floor, she reached the third floor and opened the white wooden door. Fortunately, it wasn't locked. She cautiously trod down the hallway. The third floor was eerily quiet like a dead mouse1. Racine’s location was still the reception room on the third floor. If she went straight ahead and passed through three halls connecting rooms, the reception room where he was would be the…

- The Countess’s voice was heavy, as if she was announcing the danger of the Duchy of Solem. “...Yes. I’ll also give up.” Without much hesitation, Ariel followed her words. When she heard about the deaths that occurred every year, she had already given up on going to the Duchy of Solem. She had no intention of risking her life to make a connection between Racine. “Thank you for listening to my story. I’ll take my leave now.” “You might as well go to the Imperial Palace.” Just…

- He walked, trying not to feel the satisfaction from her gaze. Perhaps it was just his consciousness, but his steps quickened. With a swift motion, he slipped through the tangle of desks and chairs with nimble movements. The exit door was just ahead. Crash! There was a loud crashing sound from behind. His steps, which had been about to leave, came to a halt, and soon, curiosity arose at the cascade of noise. Racine eventually turned his head towards the source of the commotion. A few meters…

- It was a scene that felt somewhat unrealistic. Ariel quickly raised the book she had been leafing through and covered her face. As if she had been caught off guard, she hid under the book and cautiously peeked towards the door. Racine entered the reading room with a book in hand. Unlike last time, his long hair wasn’t braided but roughly tied into one piece. He wore a blouse without a coat, with a couple of buttons undone. It was a comfortable, somewhat informal attire. ‘I wonder why he's…
