Yarin's POV:
Scandals related to the royal family were the media's favorite feast, at least for some media outlets. I believed there were still people in this world with a conscience. If I really cared, I would have driven myself crazy a long time ago.
However, after that turmoil, Sivir Academy started receiving more enrollment applications as the new school year began. People weren't fools; they could naturally see that the royal family had really tried to protect Sivir Academy during the fugitive incident. This was enough to prove that Sivir Academy was indeed in a good position.
Gossip was one thing, but it didn't stop people from seeking personal gain or avoiding harm.
In these four years, Sivir Academy had expanded its enrollment by about one-sixth, the campus kept growing, and many personnel were changed. For example, Mrs. Maggie was no longer the principal of the junior division; she had become a member of the 'Joint Board of Directors'.
