20 minutes later.
The horse-drawn carriage carrying Senior Florian and Charles stopped in front of the gates of a magnificent palace, the entire palace being dominated by white. The palace was the White Palace, the royal palace of San Fulgen. A knight escorting the carriage was seen reporting to the knights guarding the palace gates. It should be noted that the Elevrad mber tasked with delivering the proposal was also accompanied by two royal knights in the carriage. Miss Karina had suggested this so that the Elevrad mbers delivering the proposal would arrive safely at their respective destinations. After the knight reported to the knight guarding the gate, he imdiately returned to the carriage.
"Open the gate!" the knight said to his colleagues.
The gates of the royal palace opened. Before the carriage was about to enter the palace, the knights shouted sothing.
"Welco back, Prince Charles!" said the knights guarding the gate.
Charles saw them from the carriage window and waved to them.
"It seems the knights are very happy to see you back here again, Charles," said Senior Florian.
"Although I only ca back here to accompany you in delivering the proposal, senior, after that, I have to return to the academy," said Charles.
"If you want to stay here and return tomorrow, that's fine with ," said senior Florian.
"I won't do that, senior. According to the rules, the mber assigned to deliver the docunts must return in the afternoon or evening. So I'll follow that rule," said Charles.
"Very well then. By the way, since the White Palace is quite close to San Fulgen Academy, it should only take us 20 minutes to get here. As for the others, it seems they're still on their way," said senior Florian.
"I hope so. I hope there are no problems on their way," said Charles.
"...I hope so too," said senior Florian.
After entering the royal palace grounds, the horse-drawn carriage carrying senior Florian and Charles stopped at the parking lot designated for visiting royal guests. After that, senior Florian and Charles got out of the carriage and walked into the royal palace. When they arrived at the royal palace gates, Caroline was waiting for them.
"Welco to the White Palace," Caroline said.

An hour later.
The horse-drawn carriage carrying Irene and senior Nadine continued toward San Lucia City. Suddenly, snow began to fall along the road. The temperature and air slowly grew cold.
"It looks like we'll be arriving in San Lucia City soon. Driver and other knights, please put on your coats, as the further we get into San Lucia, the colder it gets," said senior Nadine.
"Ok, Miss Nadine. But is it okay for Miss Nadine and Miss Irene to be wearing only your academy uniforms?" asked one of the soldiers.
"We're both from San Lucia City, so this cold is normal for us. At least it's not as cold in San Lucia as it is in the Orokho Mountains," said senior Nadine.
"It's not as cold as in the Orokho Mountains, though it's already quite cold for us," said the knight.
anwhile, Irene had been staring out the window. She seed uninterested in chatting with the knights or Nadine. Nadine, surprised that Irene was only looking out the window, imdiately asked Irene.
"What's wrong, Irene? You seem to be thinking about sothing, since you've been staring out the window," Nadine said.
"It's nothing, Nadine. It's just that I feel uneasy for so reason, but I don't know why," Irene said.
"Maybe it's because you haven't been back to Snow Palace in a while that's why you're so anxious," Nadine said.
"Maybe so," Irene said.
"You don't need to be so anxious. Besides, you'll be able to see Miss Arlet again soon," Nadine said.
"Yes, you're right," Irene said.
The horse-drawn carriage continued towards the city of San Lucia.

anwhile, at the sa ti.
The horse-drawn carriage carrying Rid and Enzo began entering the Hevea Forest, heading towards the San Angela city
"Hevea Forest, huh? As the na suggests, all the trees in this forest are rubber trees," I thought.
"This forest is quite extensive. It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get through it," said one of the knights explaining.
"I see. Thank you for the information, sir. This is my first ti in San Angela City, so it's also my first ti through this forest," I said.
"No problem, Sir Rid," said the soldier.
"Sir Rid? You don't need to address like that. After all, I'm just a commoner, not a descendant of nobility. If you address Enzo that way, it's only natural, since Enzo is of noble birth and the son of a Duke, while I am not," I said.
"After the newspapers circulated earlier that you were the 'hero' of the academy attack, your reputation has risen to almost the sa level as, or even surpass, the reputation of high-ranking nobles. In this kingdom, it's appropriate to use respectful terms for nobles or people of high standing. Therefore, I also use respectful terms for you, Sir Rid," the soldier said.
"I see. Alright, as you wish, sir. I won't object," I said.
The carriage continued through the forest. A few monts later, our carriage suddenly experienced a severe jolt. It ca to a sudden stop in the middle of the forest road.
"What happened?" asked the soldier.
They seed to be at attention, holding their weapons at the ready.
"It looks like the wheel on this horse-drawn carriage is damaged. I'll get out first to check it, and then I'll fix it," said the horse-drawn carriage driver.
The driver got out of the carriage.
"Then we'll both get out and keep an eye on the area. Sir Enzo and Sir Rid, please stay here. If you want to get out, please stay close to the carriage," said the soldier.
"Ok," said Enzo and I.
Then the knight and another of his companions got out of the carriage.
-
10 minutes later.
The wheel on the horse-drawn carriage we were riding in still hadn't been repaired.
"I'm bored inside, I'm going out to enjoy the forest air. What about you, Rid?" asked Enzo.
"I'll stay here," I said.
"Then I'll go out first," said Enzo.
"Ok," I said.
Enzo got out of the carriage and began walking around the area.
"Stay away from the carriage, Sir Enzo. I've heard that this forest is sotis attacked by bandits or wild animals, and there are even rumors of monsters," the knight said.
"Don't worry, I won't go too far. But if there is an attack like that, I'm sure I can handle it," Enzo said.
Then Enzo noticed several people peeking from behind the trees around them.
"Looks like they're prepared, then..." Enzo thought.
"Do it now," Enzo said.
What Enzo said surprised the two knights. They were shocked because Enzo suddenly said sothing like that when no one was around, and he also said it without looking at the two knights. Then, suddenly, a group of people began to appear around the area. The group of people imdiately attacked Rid's carriage with their magic. Among the many magic spells launched at the carriage, one was a very large fire spell that aid at the carriage.
~Fla Magic: Fla Emperor~
A massive fireball shot towards the carriage, accompanied by other spells. The carriage was struck squarely by all the magic attacks. The attacks instantly exploded and destroyed the entire carriage.
