    <span style="font-weight:400">The atmosphere had changed in a matter of a few days. Everyone realized the situation: Krystal had been wandering around the ind like a fool. It was pretty noticeable after thesest few days.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Is she going to be alright?" Scarlet muttered to Alfia as she noticed Krystal watered a nt a few days ago. However, her hand was motionless, still in a downpour motion. Plus, she was watering dirt! That was not normal by her standards.


    <span style="font-weight:400">And that was not the only weird thing; the girl spaced out during her meals, walked into a column, and waved her sword aimlessly.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What was in the letter?" Faelyn frowned. Besides Keith, Faelyn was the second person she talked to the most. The two got along with one another.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Krystal was out of it right now, and she was worried about her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">It was clear to everyone that the letter Krystal had received after the party''s return was the root of her distress. Something that was inside the letter had unsettled her deeply.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t think we should pry," Arlo interjected, "If she doesn''t want to say anything about it, then we can''t force it out."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But-"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Headmaster, what was said in that thing?" Everyone''s eyes were now directed at one person.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you asking me?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Because you received a letter that had to do with Krystal."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Say what? Aidiun, you have a big mouth!" It had to be this elf!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Aidiun shrugged, "It''s not my fault you say it in front of everyone. And it has something to do with a student."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"By the way, where is Keith?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Where do you think?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">Krystal walked around the hallway. But as she did, she had an aimless look. What am I going to do?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Well, if it isn''t Krystal." Krystal looked up to see it was Doyle.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hello, Prince Doyle." Krystal nodded.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you walking all alone?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"…Just thinking about some things." Krystal backed away from him. She didn''t like him at all. Some time ago, Krystal would meet with him because of her father''s business in the castle. She didn''t like him one bit.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Come on, you can talk to me about everything." Doyle had a grin as he said this. But that only made her ufortable.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"There''s really nothing I can talk about with you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What? With what happened at the grand duchy, don''t you need the help of a royal?" There were three main factions in the Solis Kingdom. The one with the most power right now was the Royal Family.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If you tell me what''s going on I could help you." Doyle grinned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Krystal''s eyes wavered slightly before,


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Krystal, there you are." Krystal and Doyle turned their heads over to see Keith.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Doyle, I''m pretty sure what you''re doing is unbing a prince."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t know what you''re talking about." Doyle frowned. Keith shook his head, "Please be more mindful of what you do. Tristan and Carolyn are watching over you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"…" Doyle''s expression turned dark as he stared at the man.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s go now." "Mmhmm." Paying no mind to him, Keith turned to Krystal. The two walked away.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Now that the two of them were gone, Doyle''s expression was livid, "How dare he talk to me like that!" Talking about Tristan and Carolyn was a big no for him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Who does that bastard think he is?! He''s just some smuck!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You need to be more calm around him." Someone else spoke up. But Doyle''s expression turned dark, "However-"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You will gain more power once everything is done."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Fine. I will let him have this win right now!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Please tell me you''re not friends with that guy." Doyle wasn''t the only one who didn''t like the other. Once they were out of earshot, Keith immediately blurted out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course not! I just met him by coincidence!" She couldn''t be friends with that guy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s good. I would really have to question your judgment on some of your friends." Keith sighed in relief.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Hey, doesn''t that mean you as well."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m an exception." A proud grin formed as Keith had no shame in saying this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Pff." Once that was said, the two went into silence as they walked.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"... Aren''t you going to ask me?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I mean with the letter? Aren''t you going to ask me what was in the letter?" Everyone tried not to say anything about it. But she could tell there was something off. They probably understood why Krystal felt this way. That was why they tried to help her in any way they could.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, there was an outlier.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">The only person who didn''t say anything about it was Keith. Even when he saw how distressed she was, he never asked about it with her.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because you will tell me when you''re ready."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"…" Krystal went silent.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Just know that we are always there to back you up if anything happens." Keith grinned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What if I happen to take Doyle''s offer?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then you are an idiot."


    <span style="font-weight:400">When she heard that, she sighed deeply, "Please help me. I need everyone''s help."
