Leona Kingshcolar.

It has been approximately two or three months since the start of the school year at Night Raven College.

Crowley announces something unexpected.

Night Raven College would be welcoming a new junior student.

She was an eighteen-year-old from a royal family in an allied territory. Her transfer to Night Raven College had been prearranged as part of a diplomatic alliance, and she would remain there until completing her education.

She was already engaged to Leona Kingscholar.

The engagement was diplomatic and had been established between the two families as part of a political alliance. Leona had known her for some time.

Therefore, when the carriage arrived at Night Raven College, Crowley personally took charge of receiving her.

—Welcome to Night Raven College! It's a true honor! I'm sure your stay here will be absolutely unforgettable!

The Housewardens had been invited to the reception.

Riddle watched intently, trying to maintain his composure.

—So she's Kingscholar's fiancée...

Azul adjusted his glasses, evidently interested in the diplomatic implications.

Kalim, of course, had no interest in hiding his excitement.

—Welcome! It's great to have a new junior! And you're Leona's fiancée, too!

Jamil sighed.

Vil observed her, assessing the situation with that look that seemed to notice absolutely everything.

Idia remained a little apart.

Malleus, on the other hand, seemed genuinely curious.

And then Leona appeared.

His presence caused several conversations to quiet down.

Leona walked towards the group with her usual arrogant expression

—Have you finished making so much noise?

But then his eyes met hers.

His expression changed

He approached her until he was standing in front of her and calmly took one of her suitcases.

—You should have told me when you were arriving.
—How did it go, love?
