**ADDIE'S POV**
Things were a mix of busy and slow when I got back to the palace that day. I had a relaxing day with Callum and Juliana, but then a big celebratory dinner with all of my family there to greet me. It was nice, but it was a little draining, especially after the day that I had had.
I told them all about the time that I had spent in the academy, and how I had gotten all the top marks for my year. They were all proud of me, and I was happy to be receiving their praise.
Things were going to get busier though, with the festival being tomorrow and all. And today I had a meeting with Vanya in the morning and lunch with Juliana in the afternoon. It was the first day back, and I was already scheduled to the max. I hoped that during part of the break that I was home for I would be able to just rest and relax. I didn't want to be busy the entire time.
