"Am I truly that irrelevant nowadays?"
The moment Caelum looked toward the speaker, his entire expression froze.
Standing before them was an unbelievably beautiful woman with long golden hair flowing behind her, large expressive eyes, and the mature elegance appearing in her late twenties.
Her presence alone naturally dominated the room.
And more importantly, Caelum recognized her immediately.
She had visited his home before, and even held him when he was a baby.
'I should have remembered this… damn it!' Caelum screamed internally while maintaining a calm face outside.
The woman before them was none other than Catherine Valor.
The Principal of The Sky School.
And beyond that, the Duchess of the Valor Dukedom, rulers of State 2, the second most powerful state within the Zenith Empire after the Imperial State itself.
"Haven't you grown quite a bit?" Catherine asked with a warm smile while looking directly at Caelum.
