章節 40: A Jealous And Worried Eve

In the bustling heart of the United Republic, the prestigious Academy hummed with the usual activities of students and faculty. Amidst this, Eve, one of the top students and Jace's close friend, paced anxiously through the corridors. She hadn't seen Jace for days, and her concern grew with each passing hour.

Determined to find answers, she approached the Dean's office, hoping for any information about Jace's whereabouts. The Dean, a stern but fair man, greeted her with a nod as she entered.

"Eve," he said, his voice calm and measured. "How can I assist you?"

She took a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves. "Dean, I haven't seen Jace for days. Do you know where he might be?"

The Dean's expression grew serious. "Eve, Jace has left the city."

Eve's eyes widened in shock. "Left the city? With whom?"

"He left with another girl, someone we haven't seen around the Academy before," the Dean explained.
