[ A Few Hours Ago ]
Inside one of Celestia's Academy's quieter courtyards, Evangeline, Aaron, Aiden, and Isabella were gathered around Arthur, still riding the adrenaline high from the exam.
Then Arthur opened his mouth.
"I'm going to kidnap Arina Evan Imperius," he said calmly.
Silence dropped like a stone.
Evangeline's jaw tightened.
Isabella's eyes widened.
Aiden choked on his own breath.
Aaron nearly dropped the juice box he was holding.
All of them stared at Arthur.
Aiden recovered first.
Aiden asked. " So what's the plan, Inside these walls, it's nearly impossible. There are instructors everywhere for the safety of the candidates. They're leagues above us. We won't last long against them."
Arthur gave him a flat look.
"That's why you're poor as hell despite being a noble," Arthur said.
Evangeline snorted and quickly turned it into a cough, covering her mouth.
A vein popped on Aiden's forehead.
