"Then, what about William? Have you t a woman who can make him beco a better man?"
"William is fine. He hasn’t t anyone yet."
"Ah, what about Kael? Kael was the silent child in their group. In the past, the group was ford after William and Lazarus tried to help Kale who had almost drowned in a freezing river."
"Lord Kael is still the sa. He was still the silent one. He also hasn’t t anyone yet, but so ti ago, Kael and Lazarus had a conflict because Lazarus liked his sister."
"Oh, Miss Aie!"
Arielle nodded enthusiastically. She and Mrs. Churchill then exchanged stories about Ronan, William, Lazarus, and Kael. Arielle was truly amazed at the patience Mrs. Churchill had after hearing nurous unique behaviors of the four of them, especially Lazarus and William. They spent their tea ti telling stories.

Arielle and William accompanied Irene for a walk. They took a look around the academy so that the child was even more motivated to study in order to get into the academy.
"Oh, it seems that now is entering the holiday, so the academy looks quieter," said William, who suddenly felt nostalgic while looking at the walls of the building where he studied dozens of years ago.
After he graduated, William had never visited the academy again because he had nothing to do here. Besides, William imdiately accompanied Ronan in preparing to beco a king, and from the first day the man beca the king, William always accompanied him, so there was no ti to relax or just feel nostalgic.
"You know, Princess. In this hall, Lazarus once confessed his love to a female student. The girl was about to accept his love until Lazarus said that he liked the girl because he accidentally saw her cute panties," William said, laughing hard at rembering Lazarus’ face lying on the floor after being beaten by a group of girls because one of them had been harassed by Lazarus.
Aie imdiately covered Irene’s ears and cleared her throat. Naturally, William turned to the side and found Aie glaring at him.
"I don’t think such things need to be said, William. There is nothing that Princess Irene can learn from!" Aie replied sternly.
Actually, that wasn’t what made Aie upset. She was actually more annoyed when she heard Lazarus confessed to a girl just because the man saw her cute panties.
William imdiately locked his mouth tightly. He tried to rember so mories that weren’t strange related to Lazarus, but most of the mories he rembered were about Lazarus’ obscenity.
Then, they arrived at a classroom where there were still a few students sitting behind the tables doing their exams.
"What are they doing?" Irene asked William.
"Ah, they must be kids who didn’t pass the exams, so they must be forced to take extra classes during the holidays. Ahahaa, Lazarus and I were students who always got redial," William answered proudly.
"And you can’t be like that, Princess! Never follow William or Lazarus. You have to beco an outstanding student. At least pass each lesson so you can go ho for a holiday to the palace. If you don’t graduate, you will stay in the academy and dormitory until the holidays are over," continued Aie to remind Irene that William and Lazarus were not soone she should follow.
William scratched his non-itchy hair. He felt a bit awkward because it seed like Aie had instilled in her mind that his image as well as Lazarus’ was the worst among the others.
Irene took another peek at the ten students in the class. They wore the sa uniform. The difference was the boys wore trousers, and the girls wore skirts below their knees.
"Is that the uniform they are wearing? You wore that too when you were at the academy, Aie?" Irene asked Aie.
"That’s right, everyone wears the sa uniform. The only difference is the color of the tie. Each student uses a different color of ties. The color indicates the level of their grade," Aie answered.
The three of them walked back together to a park where there were three female students studying under a leafless tree. They spread out a warm, thick mat and discussed sothing.
"They don’t study in the room?" Irene asked curiously.
"Sotis there are so students who don’t want to go ho, so they spend ti with friends in the dormitory and academy. And they have no obligation to enter redial classes if they pass the exams. That’s why they can study wherever they want."
Irene turned to the three girls who were now looking at her. She then stepped back to hide her face in Aie’s back because she was embarrassed after being caught glancing at them. William laughed and raised his hands high in greeting to the three students.
"William!" called Irene who didn’t want William to call them.
"Hey, pretty girls! What grade are you in?" William asked kindly.
"Second year and will move up to third year next month."
"Perfect! Princess Irene will also be joining you next month!" William replied, making Irene’s face even redder out of embarrassnt.
"Princess Irene?" they asked together.
The three of them moved their gazes to see the figure of a young girl hiding behind Aie’s body. Aie could see the doubts in Irene’s eyes, but because it had already been done, Aie then stepped back so the three girls could see Irene’s figure.
The three of them got up and gave a curtsy to the princess. Irene didn’t know what to do and just looked down. Her grip on Aie’s hand tightened, and it made Aie feel it was enough.
"William," Aie called, then ordered the man to go away from the girls.
"Nice to et you, have a great holiday!" Aie said kindly then took William’s hand to leave the place.
William wanted to ask why, but he stopped after seeing Irene’s lips were trembling like she was holding back her tears.
"Princess, why?" asked William who was surprised because Irene was almost crying. It would be dangerous if Aie reported this to Ronan. William could die at the hands of that man.
