A week had passed since the conference.
Roselyn woke up in a room that felt unfamiliar.
"Ah?"
She blinked, then remembered.
"Right."
It wasn't truly unfamiliar. Just new.
After finalizing several business deals, Roselyn had received incentives and advances. In just a week, she had earned enough to move into a better apartment.
Now, she lived in a cleaner, more secure, private, and slightly more expensive apartment in the heart of the empire.
Things had been peaceful since Professor Claude's dismissal from the academy.
Roselyn knew she had Professor Vanitas to thank for everything.
While she hadn't yet been elevated to the status of Professor, she was confident it was only a matter of time.
For now, she had tasks at hand. Tasks she was more than willing to complete.
Stepping out of her bedroom, Roselyn entered the vacant room she had designated as her workshop.
