Ansullivan Dragonar Academy, student council room.
"That is how it is."
Wu Yan rubbed his aching temple. He was just done reading reports of reconstruction efforts and other hiccups. Now, he has to brief the other teams on what to do next.
He sat down after giving a summary of the next milestone to achieve.
"Anyway, we are looking at about 10 days before we can resu class at diminished capacity. It is high ti we set the date for the school's reopening."
"Yes!"
Ash cheered first.
"I couldn't get used to sleeping in a hotel. I miss classes."
"Good job, Rowan..."
Rebecca praised.
"With you around, the school's reconstruction really sped up."
"Nah, I didn't do all the work."
"Lucca, Silvia, and Ash contributed greatly too. I can't take all the credit. Special ntion goes to Lucca for sticking by all these while."

Lucca lowered her head in dejection.
"Alas, I can't stay with Lord Rowan anymore."
"Well."
Wu Yan tried to assure her.
"I am sure we can find the chance."
Lucca brightened up after Wu Yan gave her an encouraging hint like that.
The others missed out on this secret verbal promise much to Wu Yan's relief.
Only Ash knows about Lucca and Wu Yan staying together.
If the other girls found out, Wu Yan isn't sure what they would do to him.
At least, the longer he can hide this, the better...
"You helped out, I couldn't thank you enough for filling in while I am gone."
Rebecca apologized to Wu Yan.
"As the school president, my long absence is rather unsightly."
"No, President, don't say that!"
Ash tried to cheer her up.
"You had your own things to attend to. Look, Eco is the one who should be saying sorry, she did absolutely jack sh-"
Bam
Ash howled in pain when sothing hard and heavy hit his shin under the table.
"Hmph."
Eco, the culprit, continued to drink tea like it was nobody's business.
"Rebecca, how about your side?"
Wu Yan asked.
"What did the royals and nobles have to say about the Necromantia siege? Are there similar occurrences elsewhere?"
"I am troubled too."
"I already told them in vivid detail what transpired. I also made my case at the city council. I don't know how to interpret the answer they gave ."
"Hmm?"
Wu Yan couldn't ignore this.
"Go on."
"Well..."
Rebecca continued.
"I think you should hear it from them when you reach Ferdiand capital."
"Lord Rowan..."
Lucca & co were confused.
"Why are you going to the capital?"
"Nah."
Wu Yan denied.
"I am not."
"What is going on?"
Rebecca tilted her head.
"Then, why did the royal family say that?"
The others were just as puzzled as Rebecca.
Silvia ekly raised her hand.
"A-Actually, I can explain..."
"Hmm?"
With all eyes on her, she felt a bit tense.
"You know what this is about?"
Wu Yan asked.
"Did you receive news from them?"
"E-Erm..."
Silvia's red face and averted gaze only served to confuse them further.
The mbers knew about her recent lancholic episode.
They didn't ask her because she appeared to be hellbent on keeping it bottled up.
With her usual personality back, she must have solved her internal turmoil.
The others smiled.
"You can tell us at your own pace."
Wu Yan poured her a cup of tea.
"Here, have so tea."
"Thanks..."
Silvia sipped from the cup. She road her gaze over everyone before mustering up enough courage to say what is on her mind.
"Actually, my father, the king wants to et Rowan."
The room turned silent.
"Eh?!"
They gasped.
"He wants to et ?"
"Is this... that flag?"
Ash suggested.
"The "et her parents" thing?!"
"Huh?!"
Wu Yan didn't see this coming.
"et the parents?!"
Lucca subconsciously grabbed Wu Yan's arm.
"Y-You can't!"
"I can't?!"
Silvia tensed up, this ti, it wasn't embarrassnt. She didn't expect the protest from Lucca.
"Why not?"
"Because..."
Lucca snapped with tears at the corners of her eyes.
"I-If he is going to et anyone, he is going to have to et my adoptive father first! He has to visit my village first!"
"What are you talking about?!"
Silvia is a bit peeved now.
"Ignoring a royal summon and going to another place, you expect to accept this?!"
Lucca isn't backing down.
"In love, identity matters not."
"Huh?!"
Silvia also roared.
"I-I am not using my identity to get love!"
"Then, first co, first served!"
Lucca hugged Wu Yan's arm.
"Lord Rowan, co to the Elbaff village with ."
"You..."
Silvia's index finger trembled as she pointed at the two student council mbers.
"I-I don't even know what is going on anymore."
Wu Yan asked Rebecca for help.
"Pres, mind saving here?"
"Nuh-uh, I get where these ladies are coming from."
Rebecca continued.
"Truthfully, my family also told to bring you ho. They said they wanted to et you."
"Even Rebecca!"
Lucca couldn't believe her ears.
"N-No way..."
Silvia is flustered now.
"Tell what is going on?!"
Wu Yan yelled.
"I never heard of these plans before?!"
"Because I thought I wouldn't have to say it."
Rebecca smiled ambiguously.
"I made you my bodyguard, conferred the Randall surna on you, and you defeated the strongest Arch Dragonar known as Captain Ursula. Needless to say, my family wants to et you very badly. I am sure they are concocting various plans to bag you so I thought I should spare you the trouble."
"Ah, I see."
Wu Yan, Silvia, and Lucca sighed in relief.
A little too soon, perhaps.
"But, ignoring what my family has to say or do, I am personally of the opinion that I should bring you ho to et my parents."
Rebecca placed her stakes on the table too.
"In any case, you're the only guy who made my heart race."
Silvia and Lucca's internal alarms went off while Wu Yan laughed wryly.
