Desmond woke in his temporary room at the dorms of the Arcadios Royal Academy. Glancing to the table at his bedside, he once again saw a letter that had been addressed to him.

After the banquet at the castle, he returned with his sister to the Arcadios Royal Academy. He had hoped to speak with Titan, or rather, Lucius Kane, before returning to his quarters, but he disappeared from the party with his new wife before Desmond could catch up to him.
