章 326: I missed you!

[Seven days later]

That was a lot. I blinked dumbly as...it's not that I didn't expect it to be like this, but for some reason, I thought it wouldn't be. Like one attack and the whole kingdom was on its toes.

'Yeah, those demons now have Hestia on alert,' Blaze said beside me.

I looked out of the window of the carriage. Unlike before, these ones were bigger than the carriages we took to Eshmera, so there was a lot of space.

"We are in Solstice," said Erik. He sat near the other window with Aron opposite him. Both looked out while Erik seemed relieved, and Aron seemed conflicted.

Everything seemed like a blur to me for the last seven days. I couldn't actually focus on anything specific, but that's that, I guess.

After my talk with Eldric, we were told to return the next day. Carriages were arranged at dawn for everyone, and all of the students from all academies left.
