James hadn't been at the Academy for the last few weeks. His father, Duke of Prim, made him go to study as an exchange student to another Kingdom with the permission of the Academy, of course. He didn't like the idea but he complied. He had no choice. It was the duty of the son of the Prime Minister to form good connections and relationships with the other Kingdoms. Especially with the Kingdom of Forth which was a long-time ally of Lith and the one with the ownership of certain wizard in the past before certain princess... Maybe they were holding a grudge... maybe not.
However, there was no Anne there.
The few weeks they hadn't seen him had left many female students in distress as he was one of the top five most admired boys in the Academy. They even had prepared a welcome party in the main hall to celebrate his return.
