| *an auroral light* |
| MY LIEGE! Is it true that you've been admitted to a foreign arcane academy?! |
| Yes—I received the admission letter just recently. The senators were not pleased to hear the news... But Grandmother encouraged me to go. She said it would be a fine opportunity to learn about the outside world. |
| My word... One of the greatest mages in all the land, going to school alongside commoners? No doubt your human classmates shall all tremble and sob tears of gratitude! May I ask which school it is you will be attending, my liege? |
| Night Raven College, in the Land of Dawning. |
| Night Raven College! Why, that's one of the most prestigious learning institutions in the world! It's only natural they'd accept you, my liege! My brother is an alumnus. He says the Land of Dawning is warmer than Briar Valley, and winters there are more pleasant. The Land of Dawning, though... That's across the Coral Sea, past the Kingdom of Heroes and Sunshine Lands. You're going all that way, alone? You'll be living in a dorm, surrounded by humans... I've no doubt you'll face your share of troubles. Oh, would that I could join you! |
| *footsteps* |
| He won't be alone. I'll be accompanying him. |
| YOU WILL?! |
| Mmhm. I received a letter of admission there myself, albeit QUITE a long time ago. I checked with the school, and they confirmed that even an old letter of admission will still allow me to enroll. So I decided to go with Malleus! |
| You know much about other lands. Your company will be an immeasurable help! I feel much more assured now. |
| I've lived a long time, but this will be the first time I've ever attended school. Khee hee hee, I'm rather excited! |
| What impresses me is that someone as disorganized as you managed to keep the letter for so long without losing it. I was rather surprised when I heard that, Lilia. |
| Oh, I can't take credit for stowing it away. Back when it arrived, I had my hands full being on active duty. I certainly wasn't interested in school, so I tore the letter up and tossed it out. But... A certain someone picked up all the torn pieces, carefully put them back together, and stored the letter in the royal archive. For a nobleman he certainly had no qualms about digging through the trash. Though he had a keen eye, I'll give him that... |
| Who are you talking about? |
| ...An old friend of mine. He's with the stars now, of course. Anyways, this is a fine opportunity! I'll make the most of school life on his behalf, too. |
| Indeed. Four years is hardly that long, but let us enjoy them while they last. |
| Aaaugh! I wish I could go with you! If only I'd been born two years sooner! I hope you'll both wait for me! I, Sebek, shall continue training my magic... ...and earn admission to the very same school! |
| Heh, that's a fine idea. Having you and Silver at school would certainly liven things up. |
| ...Ah! Sorry. Did you call for me? |
| You! I was wondering why you'd been so quiet, and here it's because you were lazing about in our liege's presence! The disrespect! |
| ...... "We fae must learn more about humans, and teach humans more about ourselves," hm... Did you perchance envision the future and see that your son would go to school one day...? I have to hand it to you, Dragoneye Duke. |
 |
I see... So it was the Dragoneye Duke—Malleus' father—who had Lilia's letter of admission archived. |
 |
Malleus's mom was a scary lady, but maybe his dad was an all right guy. |
|
...... ...We don't have time to sit around speculating. We need to find Silver, get him out of here, and return to Lilia and our liege posthaste! Come along, Grim! MC! |
