As the duo settled in their shared room, Ryu couldn't help but feel relieved at the sight of two separate beds and bathrooms. He was well aware of Princess Amara's tendency to entertain whimsical thoughts, and having some distance seemed like a prudent choice.
Seated on their respective beds, Ryu shifted the conversation to more serious matters. "My lady, let's focus on the task at hand. We need to rise through the ranks of the student council to gain power and influence. It's essential for the kingdom," he declared. In reality, Ryu's underlying motive was to uncover information about the mysterious East that had captivated his thoughts.
Yet, intertwined with his quest for knowledge, Ryu harbored a desire to relish a happy school life. In his previous life, he had faced bullying and hardship, and this second chance presented an opportunity for a different experience.
As they prepared to retire for the night, Ryu and Princess Amara readied themselves for sleep. The princess, in a playful tone, mentioned encountering many attractive faces during the day, subtly teasing Ryu about potential competition. Irritated, but with a twinkle in his eye, Ryu reminded her of their childhood promise to always be each other's. The princess blushed, dismissing it as a childhood vow, but Ryu insisted, planting a seed of connection that transcended time.
*In the quietude of the night, Ryu and Princess Amara embarked on a new chapter of their shared journey, where dreams, aspirations, and the complexities of youth unfolded in the magical embrace of the academy.*
