[This is the start of me giving chapter dedication for my readers. Today, I would like to dedicate this chapter to Jyojiko for being the first person to give me a gift for this newly-contracted book. Thank you so much!]

When I went back to the castle after Ariella and I got our supplies for our upcoming magical experiment, I happen to pass by the captain of the magic army as soon as I was done dressing as the prince and master wizard.
Just when did he get back here?!
He was sulking in the lobby, absorbed in his own deep thoughts, as he quietly sits on the sofa. I remember my goal of apologizing to him for what happened yesterday, but seeing like this makes me want to back out now.
Yet, I know I have to.
Gathering all my courage, I heaved out a sigh before proceeding to walk towards the lad. He wasn't able to feel my presence until I sat beside him.
"What are you doing here?" he said, his tone emitting some coldness in it as usual.
