Six months have already passed since then
The seasons had turned in the Eurasania Empire. Spring had given way to a warm, golden summer, and now the first hints of autumn painted the leaves.
Inside the royal castle, a young maid was rushing through the hallways with her skirts hiked up slightly so she could move faster.
She had run all the way from the outer gates, moving through servants and minor officials who stared after her in confusion.
She finally reached the main wing of the castle and stopped in front of a wooden door.
Without knocking, she burst inside.
Amelia Bleaufort was sitting at a small desk near the window with a warm smile on her lips as she read the latest letter she had received.
Hearing the door open, she looked up "What happened?"
The maid caught her breath, clutching the doorframe for support as she spoke "Y-Young Lady… Sir Kael is back-"
"WHAT?"
Amelia shot up from her chair so quickly that it nearly toppled over.
