Adal awoke the next morning to a knock on the doors of the Antarctica Library.
He did not rush to answer it. Instead, he cleaned himself up and headed down afterward.
Juliette was still fast asleep, tired after her first day of work.
When he arrived at the door, he noticed a figure staring through the glass window with pink eyes.
Her hair was tied up in a bun, which seemed to be an uncommon style in the Iglantis Empire, but it gave space for her silver crown to sit comfortably.
Adal opened the door.
"Opal. What have I done to deserve a visit from royalty?" he joked, stepping aside for her to enter.
Opal Overlove remained where she stood. It was only then that Adal noticed the worried look in her eyes.
