Two Days Ago, Inside the Highsword Academy, Lumi's POV.
"Hey!" Lumi called out to Elias, who was walking alongside her, carrying some materials outside. They were meant to be installed on the masterpiece of a ship Maximus had built.
"What?" he snapped, his tone more curt than usual. The boy had been getting increasingly irritable lately.
"Did you know that Maximus, Samuel, and Einar fought in the Broken Greed War? On Eldoris's side, no less?" she said, sharing the piece of information that had been occupying her thoughts.
"What? That can't be true… That war was four years ago. They'd have been even younger than us back then," Elias replied, frowning in disbelief.
"It's true," Lumi insisted, meeting his doubtful gaze that practically shouted liar. "I overheard Lady Einar and Princess Evrin talking about it."
