The next day, 4 a.m.
As usual, I sparred with Miss Violetta in the academy garden. After a while, I spoke to Miss Violetta.
"Miss Violetta, have you ever been to San Angela City?" I asked.
"San Angela City? I've been there, but why do you ask that?" Miss Violetta asked.
"At 8 a.m., I'm going to San Angela City to deliver a proposal to the Lord Duke of San Angela's residence. I just want to know what San Angela City is like," I said.
"Ah that's right, you are the vice chairman of Elevrad, so you have to deliver the proposal to one of the Duke's residences,"
"Okay, I'll tell you. Since you are a second year student now, then you must have been to the San Minerva City when you were a first year student to take the fourth exam, right? The San Angela city is not much different from the San Minerva city. The air quality in that city is very good and cool because in that city there are also many trees and plants that decorate the city. But the temperature around the city is quite hot compared to the San Minerva city and other cities. So I suggest you don't wear thick clothes if you want to visit the city,"
"In addition, because the city is the center of the San Angela region and the San Angela region itself borders directly with the territory of the Sedona kingdom, in that city there are also many slaves, especially slaves from the Demi-Human race who roam around with their owners. The reason why there are many slaves in that city is because the center of the slave trade in this kingdom is in the San Angela city. Honestly, I was uncomfortable when I was there because I felt sorry for the slaves because previously I had colleagues from other races. Seeing other races like them being enslaved, i can't bear it," said Miss Violetta.
"I myself can't bear to see the slaves in this kingdom. This kingdom really needs to be changed so that slavery isn't legalized anymore," I said.
"I agree with you, but changing this kingdom isn't that easy. Even if you have high noble status, it won't be easy for you to change this kingdom," said Miss Violetta.
"Yes, I know. By the way, thank you for giving information about the city, Miss Violetta," I said.
"You're welco, Rid," said Miss Violetta.
"I'll give you a souvenir later, Miss Violetta. But I don't know what typical souvenirs from San Angela are. Is there anything you'd like from San Angela, Miss?" I asked.
"There's no need to buy a souvenir. Besides, you're probably going to buy lots of souvenirs for your other friends. If you buy souvenirs, you'll run out of money. It's better to just save the money the academy gave you," said Miss Violetta.
"It's ok, Miss. I still have plenty of money, especially since I earned a lot after winning the academy tournant," I said.
"I also received a lot of money from Her Majesty the Queen for my contribution in thwarting the attackers who attacked the academy before," I thought.
"Well, if you insist, then there's no helping it. I don't have any particular souvenirs I want in San Angela City; I'll accept whatever you have to offer. But I'd rather get so food, anything," said Miss Violetta.
"Ok, Miss," I said.
"Food, huh," I thought.
I wondered if Miss Violetta actually liked to eat, but I decided not to ask, as it would be considered rude.
"By the way, Miss Violetta knows a lot about the students at this academy. Were you a student at this academy too?" I asked.
"Yes, I was a student at this academy too. I graduated from this academy six years ago when I was 21, I'm 27 now. Since you're already in your second year, I'm guessing you're 18 or 19," Miss Violetta said.
"I'm 19 now. Hmm, that ans we're eight years apart," I said.
"That's right. We're only eight years apart in age. Instead of calling "Miss," you can call 'older sister'," Miss Violetta said.
"Are you teasing ?" I asked.
"I'm just kidding. I don't mind being called 'Miss'," Miss Violetta said.
While Miss Violetta and I were chatting, Miss Karina suddenly arrived in the academy garden.
"It looks like you two are having a great conversation, huh?" said Miss Karina.
"Miss Karina?" I said, a little surprised.
"It's unusual to see you here so early in the morning," said Miss Violetta.
"I ca here because I wanted to see Rid. There's sothing I wanted to discuss with him," said Miss Karina.
"Seeing Rid, huh? By the way, how did you know Rid was here?" asked Miss Violetta.
"I've always known that you and Rid often spar in this garden at this hour. That's why I ca to the garden at this hour to see Rid," said Miss Karina.
"I didn't expect you to know about our sparring. I apologize for using this garden as a sparring ground, miss," said Miss Violetta.
"It's ok, there's no harm done even though you sparred in this garden. Rather than that, I'd like to talk to Rid alone, so would you mind if I take him sowhere to talk to him alone?" asked Miss Karina.
"I don't mind, miss. Besides, my sparring with him is over," said Miss Violetta.
"Very well. Then, co with , Rid. I have sothing to discuss with you," said Miss Karina.
"Ok, miss. Then, I'll be going, Miss Violetta," I said.
"Yes, please," said Miss Violetta.
I followed Miss Karina, leaving Miss Violetta still in the garden. I continued to follow Miss Karina as she began walking into the academy forest. As we walked through the forest, Miss Karina stopped.
"This seems like a good place to discuss this," Miss Karina said.
"What's the matter, Miss? To discuss this in a place like this?" I asked.
"I heard you're going to San Angela City to deliver a proposal to Duke San Angela," Miss Karina said.
"That's right, Miss. I'm going with Enzo, the son of Duke San Angela," I said.
"Is that so," Miss Karina said.
Then Miss Karina took sothing from her pocket.
"Take this," Miss Karina said, handing a crystal that looked like a communication crystal.
"A communication crystal?" I asked.
"No, it's not a communication crystal. But it will definitely be useful if sothing suspicious happens," Miss Karina said.
"Hmm, I see. Thank you for giving this, Miss," I said.
"Yes. Don't forget to keep that device activated once you leave to San Angela City," said Miss Karina.
"Yes, Miss," I said.
"And also, don't forget to stay alert, Rid. I'm sure you haven't forgotten that you're likely being targeted by many people because you're Irene's boyfriend," said Miss Karina.
"Yes, Miss. I won't forget that," I said.
Then I looked at the item Miss Karina had given seriously.
"So I'm not the only one who realized that sothing might happen on my trip to San Angela City, huh? Miss Karina was aware of it too, and she gave this item," I thought.
After that, I put the item in my pocket.
-
8 a.m. at the academy gate.
Currently, Irene, Charles, Chloe, and Enzo were preparing to board the horse-drawn carriage that would take us to our respective destinations. anwhile, Noa and the others were seeing us off.
"You don't need to bother seeing us off. We're only going for the day anyway, and we'll be back in the afternoon or evening," I said.
"It's okay. We don't know what to do right now anyway, so we decided to go see you off," Julie said.
"I see. By the way, Noa, I'm sorry I can't keep my promise to hang out this Saturday. As you can see, I have to go to San Angela," I said.
"Relax, Rid, there's always tomorrow. Most importantly, don't forget to bring a souvenir," Noa said.
"I'll definitely buy you one, don't worry," I said.
"That's great. I was expecting a souvenir from you guys, too," Noa said.
"You don't need to worry, Noa," Chloe said.
"That's right," Charles said.
anwhile, Irene and Enzo remained silent. Then the other Elevrad mbers began to board their horse-drawn carriages.
"It's ti to go. Then, we'll go," I said.
"Be careful, you guys," said Noa and the others.
I imdiately rushed to board the horse-drawn carriage that would take Enzo and to San Angela. But as I was about to board the carriage, Irene suddenly stopped .
"Wait a minute, Rid," Irene said.
I imdiately stopped when I heard Irene stop .
"What's wrong, Irene?" I asked.
"I just wanted to say be careful on your way to San Angela," Irene said.
I smiled at Irene's words.
"You too, be careful on your way to San Lucia," I said.
"Yeah," Irene said.
"Then, I'll go now, Irene. See you later," I said.
"Then, too, see you later, Rid," Irene said.
After saying that, I boarded the horse-drawn carriage that would take to San Angela, while Irene imdiately rushed to the carriage that would take her to San Lucia.
"You two look like a perfect couple," Enzo said.
"I think it's normal to say that when you're about to say goodbye," I said.
"To say goodbye, huh?" Enzo said.
"Are you two ready to go?" the carriage driver asked us.
"Yes, sir," we both said.
"Is there anything you left behind?" the driver asked.
"No, sir," we both said.
"Very well. Then, we'll be leaving now," the driver said.
The carriage slowly began to move out of the academy gates and towards the city of San Angela. The other carriages also slowly began to depart, each heading towards their respective destinations.
A few minutes later, the carriage bound for San Angela began to depart from the capital of San Estella. The carriage continued to move at a steady pace. The faster the carriage advanced, the closer it got to 'that incident'. The incident that was about to occur would shock the entire kingdom of San Fulgen. Not only that, but 'that incident' would also trigger several other incidents that would occur later.
