This Hero Meets Igvin Terni Calesti!

The crowds that were standing in line murmured in frustration while they watched the four of us be taken to the very front. A few people called out in anger, shouting things like "I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE YESTERDAY!" and "WHY DO THEY GET TO SKIP?" Truthfully, a part of me is happy we got to skip while another part is upset.

I don't like feeling as if I'm better than anyone specifically. I enjoy having privileges from having friends, but I don't want to be placed on a pedestal for others to idolize. Perhaps that's why I had such an issue with the prince?

No matter what my issue was, we still eventually found our way to the front.
