"At this time, classes are still in session, so let's head straight to the dormitory."

"Yes."

With that said, we disembarked from the carriage and headed straight for the dormitory of the royal academy.

"Hehe, welcome back. Prince Elysion, Lady Serena, Lady Mir."

For some reason, Mercy was waiting for us alone, why is she alone shouldn't Anathisia be present with her?

"Uh, um... W-we're back."

"Yes."

Slightly perplexed, we greeted her, and Mercy smiled softly.

How did she know we were coming back...?

"We received a report from the faithful one at the city gate about Your Highness's return."

"I see..."

In the Regalia Holy Kingdom, one cannot turn a corner without encountering devout believers. Their presence is woven into the fabric of everyday life, seamlessly integrated into positions of authority such as the city gate guards.
