    <span style="font-weight:400">On the day of the festival, Keith had an excited look as his body was waving back and forth.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Cameliaughed, "You''re so excited, Keith."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm! It''s my first time going to a festival!" Keith nodded to Camelia''s words. The group was split into two different carriages.


    <span style="font-weight:400">They could all fit in William''s carriage. But Lionel and Camelia wanted to sit with Keith in more space. That was why Keith was in the Grand Duke''s Carriage.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then this will also be your first time going through a teleportation gate," Lionel added.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm!" Keith heard about it from William. They needed to go through the teleportation gate. It didn''t take long for them to arrive. And there was already a line.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Many merchants and nobles would use the gates to travel faster around," Camelia stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I see. Keith nodded. While the group waited, they noticed a carriage waiting on the side. It had the crest of the Royal Family. Everyone got off the carriage.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith!" Carolyn screamed as she saw her friend. Keith smiled as he waved his hand. But then he followed Lionel''s lead and bowed his head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"We greet your majesty."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Julius frowned, "Enough with that. We''re friends. And there are more pressing matters to talk about."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Keith tilted his head. But the others were calm as they stepped away from William.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How could you eat such delicious food without telling me?!" Julius shouted at William.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Ugh." William gave him a dirty look. Keith looked at his father. Father, he is still the king.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Julius red at him. But that onlysted a few seconds before Julius looked down at Keith,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Keith. Do you remember me?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm. I remember you, your majesty." Keith nodded. But you''re so different.


    <span style="font-weight:400">''Then can you do this king a favor and-" "Dear." Thalia stared at him with a cold look.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Did he forget where he was?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But it was really delicious," Julius stated. He tasted the milk tea and cookies that were brought home by Carolyn. And the man was hooked! It wasn''t just him; the other princes and princesses were curious about it as well!


    <span style="font-weight:400">The man was hooked on the taste. And to add to that, he heard from his daughter about the two eating other delicious food! And he wanted to try!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That still doesn''t mean you ask like this." Thalia shook her head. There was a time and ce for everything. While the queen scolded, Carolyn asked,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, can I sit with you in the carriage."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure. Aunty, is it fine with you?" Keith was asked by Thalia to call her Aunty instead.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure." Thalia nodded as she walked back to her carriage with Julius.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go." Keith smiled as he entered the carriage with her. Carolyn smiled,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Bo!" "Hoho." "Hello again!" Mir, Aria, and Fira shouted at her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Bo!" Noticing how Carolyn was staring at him again, Mir slowly waddled onto herp. It seemed he had gotten used to her,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So soft." Carolyn held Mir tightly. Keithughed. While that happened, Keith looked at the teleportation gate,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Grandfather, how does it work?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You just need to say where you want to go, and if there''s another teleportation gate there, you can go there."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." The carriage stopped in front of the teleportation gate. The guard asked,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Where would you like to go?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"To the academy," Lionel stated. And the mages nodded. Like that, the carriage entered the gate. And it was a white sh before they arrived on the other side.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ooooh!" The two children stared at the academy in marvel.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There are flying inds!" Keith couldn''t help but exim as he pointed at them. There were many floating inds. Lionel and Camelia stared at the two kids. The carriages continued to move forward.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It didn''t take long before they arrived in front of the academy gates. And when they entered, the academy was humongous! The carriage stopped in front of an area. And there were three people waiting for them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eric! Alvin!" Keith got out of the carriage. Alvin and Eric hugged Keith,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wee to the Academy, Little Brother!" "It''s been a while since we met."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s only been a few months." Keithughed. While that happened,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"So this is the brother you two kept talking about." While the brothers hugged, another person was there.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm, James."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Brother!" Carolyn came out of the carriage. James was surprised,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Carolyn, why are you here?" Why was his little sister here?


    <span style="font-weight:400">He''s the third prince. Keith stared at James. He does look like him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"James." Julius and the rest came out of their carriages. The three smiled and greeted them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s been a while, Father."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Brother, can we look around?" Carolyn was excited.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sure. But don''t go too far." Carolyn turned to Keith,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go, Keith!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">The two quickly dashed off without a thought. Alvin and James turned to the group, "We''ll go watch over them."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." It was much safer with those two with them.
