Rosalina and Julius stepped out of the student council office together.
The afternoon sun felt warm on their faces as they walked side by side toward the busy academy grounds.
Julius still had a faint bruise on his cheek from the earlier beating, but he acted like nothing happened.
In the middle of the open grounds, Uriel stood surrounded by a large group of excited students.
He smiled brightly and greeted everyone with a friendly wave.
The students looked thrilled, laughing and eagerly shaking his hand one after another.
Some girls were blushing and whispering to each other while staring at his perfect face.
Rosalina glanced at the scene and felt a tiny spark of jealousy again, but she quickly pushed it down.
She turned to Julius, who was walking casually with his hands clasped behind his neck.
"You told me you will participate in that Lone King's inheritance thing, right?"
Rosalina asked, her voice full of curiosity.
Julius nodded lazily. "Yeah."
