As Taylor and Anastasia walked side by side through the halls of the Moon Sphere, they remained oblivious to the numerous glances directed their way.
"Isn't that Princess Anastasia?"
"Who's the man with her?"
"That red-haired fellow, isn't he the sword genius we just witnessed?"
Whispers and murmurs followed in their wake, but the pair paid them no mind, focused solely on reaching a more secluded destination.
Ignoring the curious gazes, Taylor led the way with determination, guiding Anastasia through the maze of corridors. Their footsteps echoed softly against the walls as they ventured deeper into the quiet recesses of the academy.
Anastasia broke the silence, her voice cutting through the ambient hush. "Where exactly are we going, Sir Taylor?"
