Chapter 265: Council of Kings (1)
Eve Ropenheim realized she lacked courage. She might have been able to pleasantly talk to Isaac if she had met him right after returning to Märchen Academy.
But as time passed and she regained her reason, her courage diminished, and now, even though Isaac had returned to Märchen Academy, she couldn't easily speak to him.
If it had simply been a matter of courage, things might have turned out differently. However, Isaac was constantly surrounded by influential figures so imposing she could hardly dare to even glance in their direction.
Luce Eltania, Kaya Astrea, Dorothy Heartnova, Alice Carroll, Princess Snow White...
There was simply no way to break in, and as time went by, Eve's courage dwindled, leaving her with nothing but a deepening hesitation.
This won't do...!
Eve chastised herself as soon as she woke up in her dorm in the morning.
This couldn’t go on. She had to talk to her brother, she told herself, slapping her cheeks.
That day, she was feeling good. She was overflowing with unfounded confidence and felt she could properly talk to Isaac even if the world were falling apart. It was one of those rare, perfect days.
