Alex prohibited me from going with him to his place for him to see what really happened with his grandmother since it is already dark outside and he says that girls my age shouldn't be seen outside at this hour.
However, since I somehow possessed and inherited my mother's very persuasive nature, I was able to convince him to come along as long as I was dressed as the fake prince.
Teleportation is very mana-consuming. And with all that fight he had with the spy earlier, it would take time for Alex to regain all of his mana. Thus, we had no other choice but to walk than to entrust our trip to my "not-so-efficient teleporting skills" like what he described earlier.
During the ride towards his house, Alex has been silent all the way. Even when he seems to be thinking, he has gone silent again. I don't even know how to start a conversation with all that's gone on since this afternoon.
