The day after the fuss at the party, the summer break at the academy had started, and many students had left the capital in order to pay a visit to their families. The event left some of the students curious about what would happen to the prince, but they mostly did not want to drag themselves into the matter as they had a vacation to enjoy.
The vacation would last two months, and the classes would resume in the month of Virgo, the start of autumn, so they had a lot of time to spend with their loved ones.
The students who were still in the capital were either planning to leave the city later or actually making a plan to spend their vacation in the capital. One of the latter was Edith Felsvorder, daughter of a lowly baron and lover of the Imperial Crown Prince.
(Sigh. It seems like I can't go home this vacation. It's regretful, but I have to bear it for their sake.)
