"Is everything in place for the Exam?" Tanya asked.
Kendel nodded as he faced his mother. "Yes, mother. Professors Zestella and Raven are overseeing everything personally. There's no need for concern."
Tanya exhaled softly, her expression softening as she processed the news. "Good."
She still remembered all too vividly the disaster that unfolded during the last exam in Dolphis. She wasn't there that day but from what she had seen, it was quite catastrophic.
That day, chaos had nearly swallowed the Dolphian capital whole. Adrian Dolphis had been left in a coma, clinging to the edge of life, while King Reiner himself was still healing from the brutal fight with his once-believed-dead brother, Navas.
Even now the kingdom was still reeling from the devastation. The Queen of Dolphis had plunged into a deep depression, barely able to recover from the potent poison she had been administered during her abduction.
