The moment Kurt stepped into view, the five pale–faced figures–those who had been missing–immediately greeted him, one after another.
Kurt’s gaze swept across them and settled on the only girl in the group.
She looked to be in her early twenties. While not as ethereally beautiful as Isla, she had a kind of gentle, mature elegance that gave her presence a quiet weight. This young woman was none other than Kyla, one of Regalhold University’s five most prestigious “Highnesses–and the only female among them, aside from Isla.
Seeing her safe, Kurt finally breathed a sigh of relief. Among the five, she was the one he’d worried about most.
Her background… was not something anyone could afford to provoke.
Kurt gave her a nod, then said, “Come with me. I need to hear everything that’s happened during this time.”
He glanced at Raven a little nervously, but when she didn’t object, he relaxed and led the five away.
Just before leaving, Kyla turned back. Her gaze landed on Cassian, and her lips curved into a soft, graceful smile. “Thank you, Cassian.”
She hadn’t seen everything that happened in detail, but she knew–it was Cassian who’d saved her life.
Before she’d been trapped, Kyla had already felt something for him. But because of her family’s restrictions, she never dared to act on those feelings.
Now that she’d come back from the brink of death, she wasn’t planning on holding anything back.
The four others who’d been rescued followed her lead, each giving Cassian a respectful thank–you before leaving with Kurt. But despite their departure, none of the surrounding students made any move to disperse.
They weren’t exactly tactful about personal space.
Raven, of course, noticed. She silently committed dozens of faces to memory.
That afternoon, every single student she’d remembered got special treatment during training.
By the time evening rolled around, a few were on the verge of being hospitalized.
Not just the instructors–but even the students–had begun looking at Raven differently.
By now, a chilling realization had carved itself into the hearts of nearly everyone on campus:
Raven wasn’t just strong. She was the devil in human form.
At some point, Blake showed up, claiming an urgent matter required Cassian’s attention. He swore it’d only take a few hours.
Reluctantly, Cassian left Regalhold with him.
When the final school bell rang, it was time.
Kurt had mentioned earlier that he would escort Raven to an event hosted by Regalhold’s five major families.

So, as soon as school ended, she made her way to the plaza in front of the president’s hall.
