The rest of the day passed uneventfully. As the sun dipped lower, casting long shadows across the academy grounds,
Adam and Lily waved goodbye to Princess Anya, who departed with her assistant. Together, they began their walk back toward the dormitories.
Lily, walking a few steps ahead, suddenly paused. She glanced at Adam, hesitation flickering in her expression.
"I don't want to go back to the dorm yet," she said, her voice quieter than usual. "I want to check out the academy's library. I've heard it's enormous, but I haven't visited it yet."
Adam raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "The library?" he asked. "Why didn't you mention it earlier? Alright, let's go. I'll join you."
Lily hesitated again, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. Her reluctance was obvious.
Adam tilted his head, concern creeping into his tone. "Why are you hesitating? You look like something's bothering you."
