Chapter 26: Towards The Academy
Chapter 26: The Road to the Academy
The morning sun cast a golden glow over the estate, illuminating the grand purple carriage that would take Noah to the Academy.
He stood before it, hands in his pockets, his face calm yet unreadable.
Behind him, his mother, Selene, along with an assembly of knights, servants, and mages, all stood with pride in their eyes.
And... there was an unexpected guest.
A silver cat with piercing purple eyes perched on Selene's shoulder.
Noah's brows twitched. His gaze flicked to Neko, the black-furred cat sitting smugly on his head.
"...Am I meeting your mother?" he muttered.
Neko, in response, flicked her tail, feigning indifference.
Selene stepped forward, wrapping him in a tight embrace.
Her voice trembled. Just a little.
