    <span style="font-weight:400">While Keith had his own study group, Carolyn had one of her own. Well, it was more one on one. Alger sighed, "Carolyn, this isn''t how you do it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I see." Carolyn quickly changed the form. Right now, the two were studying in the library. However, Alger only sighed more, "Carolyn, that''s not the right one either."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I still don''t get it," Even when Alger exined everything to her, it didn''t make sense. Alger was rtively fast, as he exined.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Carolyn, you will need to learn all of this. You''re going to be a queen as well." They would be king and queen of the Philosopher Kingdom.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then let''s keep trying." Alger started to talk again. As they continued to do this, "Well if it wasn''t my sister." The two turned around, and Carolyn frowned while Alger tilted his head.


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


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aww, to think the two of you have be so close." Doyle grinned as he sat across from the two, "And you guys are even flirting in front of everyone."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What are you talking about?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You know you two are the only couple here, right?" Doyle nced around. The only people that were there were study groups. The only couple here were Carolyn and Alger.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That''s because Senior Alger said it would be nice to study here instead of staying in the same ce." A change of environment would help everyone out.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Doyle, shouldn''t you also be studying as well?" Doyle was in the same grade as Carolyn. Doyle scoffed, "Brother Alger, you don''t need to worry about anything. I can study at the end."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...I see." Alger nodded. Doyle got up, "Then I''m not going to bother you guys any longer."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let''s continue," Alger stated, "You need to be at the top."


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">While everyone was focused on midterms, many things were outside the academy. Arge carriage had arrived before the castle in the royal capital of The Solis Kingdom. There was a giant emblem on the front door.


    <span style="font-weight:400">One person came out of the carriage. A butler bowed,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Greetings to the king. Wee to the Solis Kingdom." This person here was the King of the Philopher Kingdom, Harold Zio Drosei. He was none other than Alger''s father.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Mmhmm." Harold gave a kurt greeting. The butler said nothing else as he led the king to a room. Opening the door, Julius was in the room.


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


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You don''t need to call me Senior. We''re not in the academy." Alger and Harold were junior and senior when they attended the academy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Right now, the two of us are rulers of our kingdom."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Harold sat down across from him. It was calm, yet the two rulers knew there was no calmness in the room. Things were going to go down right now.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Have you heard about my son and your daughter having rtions with one another?" Harold went straight to the point. But when he did, Julius nodded, "Yes, I heard about our children dating." He had received letters about the two dating.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Then I will make this quick; I was thinking of engaging the two of them." With how the two dated, naturally, getting engaged came next.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But his words caused Julius to frown, "Isn''t this too soon? The two of them have only been dating for a while. They shouldn''t get married so quickly."


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">"But we have to. From what I heard, our children are quite the pair at the academy." Harold sipped on some tea.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How do you know this?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course, I have my informants."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Julius scoffed, "You understand what you''re trying to do, right? Understand that the dragon would not stand for it."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Please," Harold shook his head, "The headmaster will not do anything unless it harms the academy." Cadmus wasx with these types of things. He would only step in if there was severe harm to the academy. He had always been a lofty creature.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...True." Cadmus had always been really flexible with these kinds of things. It may be different now since that brat is there. There was an outlier.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"And this also brings a second objective. Don''t you think we should make a move?" Harold stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Have you gone insane." Julius frowned. Did he understand what he was implying?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Of course. After all, we all know that Cadmus isn''t someone that you could leave alone." It wasn''t only them. Every nation knew this; the dragon was someone they had to watch out for. He may seem like a normal person right now, but he could explode at any given moment.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"If we work together, we can defeat the dragon." The strongest human kingdom and the 2nd strongest working together. Even Cadmus wouldn''t be able to defeat them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m not interested in doing something like that." Julius shook his head. Yes, Cadmus was a threat. There was no doubt about that, but he was also a dragon of reason. Pretty stupid but was calm.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Fine," Harold sighed as he added, "However, I do want my son and your daughter to be engaged. Can we make that happen?" He couldn''t forget about that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...It will depend on Carolyn. Not me." Julius had long decided that Carolyn would be the one to decide the engagement.
