I thought I was going to be immediately enrolled in the Royal Academy... but that didn’t happen.

First reason:

It’s vacation time.

The schools in the capital all have their vacations around the same time, and right now it’s summer vacation. By the way, both the Royal Academy and the clockwork knight school Victoria attended are located in the capital.

Second reason:@@novelbin@@

To honor those who helped people during the Vern City incident, they were invited to the royal palace. This includes Victoria, among others.

By officially awarding them, public sentiment is improved, making it a profitable endeavor in terms of maintaining order.

However, it’s unpleasant that the media only focuses on the miracle of those who helped during the sudden disaster, leaving out any mention of why the disaster even occurred and only concentrating on individual stories.

In other words, it’s highly likely that the Vern City incident was either manipulated or is a catastrophic problem that can’t be solved immediately.

While expecting a second disaster, I was shipped off to the royal palace.

Yes. I was shipped.

That afternoon, on the very day the letter arrived, a literal airship hovered above my house. People dressed in exoskeletons came down and dragged me into the airship.

Although they said I was being escorted, it was practically kidnapping, given I had no right to oppose them.

I was taken to the capital in just one day.

From the airship, I looked down at the royal palace.

The walls looked like they were painted wood, with brass decorations and structures, and sparse large glass windows and cast iron frames in between.

On the other side were high spires made of stacked stone and pointed roofs. Arches extended in all directions.
