042. Imperial Prince is Searching for a Weapon -2 (Part One)

**

"So this was where you were, Alice."

Alice opened her eyes at Raphael's voice.

She had been sleeping on the library's desk. Subconsciously, she rubbed her still-drowsy eyes and wiped away the hint of drool near her chin. While doing so, she looked at the blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

Raphael continued on. "You seemed to have spent the night here."

"Pardon? Ah, yes."

Her grandfather's gentle but worried tone of voice prompted an awkward smile to float up on her face.

The truth was, she ran into the Seventh Imperial Prince last night. How badly would Raphael worry if he found out about that?

While still oblivious to what happened in the night prior, Raphael smiled contentedly as if he found his granddaughter quite adorable. "Please rest inside your quarters, child. I know studying magic is important, but you'll place too much strain on your body like this."
