He just stood there glancing at the academy, and you know what? They had already closed by now. Aiden could even see students walking out of the academy.
And at that moment, he hoped Lucia would still be around. Since they'd closed, she might have headed home already. According to what he remembered, she was the daughter of a high-ranked chief.
And he remembered there was a certain knight that does pick her up from school everyday...maybe the knight has picked her up already.
He began walking toward the academy, he needed to see Lucia, he needed to confirm if she was still around or not. He had already arrived at the compound of the academy as he was glancing around searching for Lucia.
He glanced around for seconds but didn't see her, and this was the thought that ran through his mind at that moment,
'Hope she hasn't headed home'.
