[Mary Kleine POV.]

Thud.

"Phew," I exhaled, surveying my surroundings after placing my belongings on the floor of my dorm room. I had returned to the dorms after my vacation at home.

There was a brief vacation period before the midterms of the imperial academy, during which we were given the option to visit our families. However, I chose not to go. Traveling such a long distance and then returning seemed like a waste of time to me. But then, one day, Adam approached me with a suggestion.

"Why don't you go visit your family?" he had said.

I scoffed at his attempt to convince me while he stayed and trained at the academy. However, to my surprise, he mentioned that he would be visiting the orphanage.

Orphanage! I had never heard about this before. I had always assumed he came from a modest family like mine, but that turned out to be far from the truth.
