Alex had imagined many worst-case scenarios he might experience during his stay at the royal palace.
Fortunately, none of the things inside his head happened.
Both the King and Queen approved of him as their future son-in-law, even after they found out that he had other lovers aside from their daughters.
The crown prince, Prince Kaelen, also supported their parents, believing Alex would make his sisters happy.
With their blessings, Alex, Lapiz, Aeris, Princess Xenia, and Mary finally departed the Kingdom of Faelarun to return to Frieden Academy.
The moment the Elven Capital was no longer in sight, Alex felt the pressure pressing on him all this time vanish without a trace.
"Finally… I'm free," Alex muttered as he stood on the deck of the airship while looking back at the Elven Kingdom.
"Free from what?" Aeris asked.
The young man had completely forgotten that the elven princess was right beside him when he muttered those words of relief.
"N-Nothing," Alex replied.
