On the way back to the dormitory after class, Celes Wester happily linked arms with Sarah Everleigh, her expression sweet and content.
Sarah thought she had come to terms with things and was willing to return to their old friendship, so she didn't pay it much mind.
Back in the dorm, Sarah said to Lucas, "Master, I want to go to the Scafell Mountains."
The Scafell Mountains—that was where Jameson Everleigh had met his end.
Lucas understood. "You want to…"
Sarah nodded. "I want to recover my brother's body and bring closure."
She took Lucas's arm and gently swayed it, asking softly, "May I?"
This was the first time the ice-cold beauty had ever acted coy. Lucas smiled and agreed. "Yes, we'll go together when the time comes."
After Jameson's accidental death, both the Imperial Academy and the Everleigh family had sent search parties, but neither had found his remains.
Sarah wasn't holding out much hope—this was simply her final effort.
