Chapter 35 - Socializing and Studying

After Daedalus had his fill of exploring the academy the day had finally ended. The students filled the halls as they slowly made their ways out from the academy towards their homes close and far away.

Daedalus followed the others to the front of the academy however rather than walking like the others he spotted not far from him a carriage that was donning the royal insignia. Walking over there was a small crowd but as he arrived behind the crowd a guard from the carriage looked towards his side of the crowd and said "Make way for the young prince immediately!"

The crowd quickly moved away to form a path and Daedalus walked through with ease. As he passed some students began murmuring to themselves and their friends nearby saying things like 'He is so handsome!' or 'He seems quite arrogant, making us move away just to walk past!'

Daedalus did not take any of the murmuring to heart and boarded the carriage before looking back to the crowd and smiling before saying "I hope we can be good friends while we all go to this academy together!"

The murmuring only got louder as he waved and the carriage moved away some saying 'I guess he isn't that arrogant, he even seemed a bit nice.'

As Daedalus sat in his seat the guard sat down and took off his helmet while saying "Daedalus, you have become quite the charmer, I could have sworn I saw some girls blushing when you smiled at the crowd."

It was Danel his father, Danel had come too see Daedalus at the end of the day and bring him home. Daedalus however just smiled happily.

Arriving back at the castle Daedalus and his father got out and headed up to his father's study and began talking about their days. Daedalus spoke about how he learned about runes and got some books to read from his teacher as well as exploring the school and deciding that he would either join or create a club.

After doing that for around an hour Daedalus quickly left saying that he was going to read through the books he had been given and try to learn the runic language.

Arriving at his room Daedalus pulled out all of the books and placed them on his desk in a specific order on which one to start with that would also lead into the others. All of the books were for the runic language from the basics to the super complicated information and theories on the runic language.

Daedalus immediately grabbed the book titled 'Basic Runic Language for Beginners' and started reading through the first page. The first pages went into detail on just the base alphabetic characters which were mostly just lines and circles however as the book went on it began combining the letters into small words which were lines and circles in one.

Daedalus continued to read for hours on end absorbing the information like a sponge exposed to water, rapidly gaining usable knowledge and information in general.
