Promises That He Would No Longer Be Able To Keep

Half an hour earlier…

'It's so boring here in the academy,' Wendy thought as she finished changing her clothes after taking a shower. 'I guess I'll just visit Will for now. I hope he's back from his meeting with the King.'

She had just left her room when she saw her Big Sister Charlotte walking in her direction with a big smile on her face.

"It's good to see that you're finally back. I missed you," Charlotte said as she gave Wendy a light hug. "Where have you been?"

"I missed you too, Big Sister," Wendy returned the hug as she replied to Charlotte's question. "We went to the North-- North to train! That's right, Sir William wanted to perfect our team formation so we had to leave the academy to train."

"Is that so? I hope that the Knight Commander isn't pushing you too hard." Charlotte frowned. "Make sure to tell me if he bullies you. I don't care if he's the Knight Commander or not, I'll shove a fireball right up his a*s."
