Otome Game no Heroine de Saikyou Survival-Chapter 203.3
Summer in the Kingdom of Cleydale was not as hot as in the Empire, but it was very humid. However, there was a refreshing breeze in the town, perhaps due to the abundance of greenery, and if you chose the right spot, you could feel a slight hint of autumn.
It seemed that the Magic Academy would reopen soon after the return of Princess Elena, but in fact there is still no sign of it.
To begin with, many of the lower-class nobles who did not have mansions in the royal capital have returned to their hometowns. Even if they were informed of the reopening of the school by a magic tool of distant talk, it would take more than a month for the local nobles to return, so it was not so easy to decide when the reopening would take place.
Another problem was that the winter vacation was also long at the magic academies that the nobles attended, as the harvest was over and the social scene became more active during the off-season.
Normally, the children of nobles whose hometowns are far away would stay in the royal capital during the winter months to socialize. However, lower-class nobles sometimes prioritize their hometowns over social gatherings, so even after the reopening, some nobles decided not to return to their hometowns until next year.
Still, some nobles did not return to their hometowns and had already returned to the academy. They are the third-year students who will graduate this year.
They were 15 years old this year, and they need to graduate from the school as a sign of adulthood. Lower-class nobles were not so concerned about it, but middle-class nobles, barons and above, were eligible to attend the graduation party held at the royal castle, and it was a kind of pride for them to attend it.
For this reason, the nobles of the middle class and above, as well as the lower-class nobles who had been offered positions in the royal capital’s knight corps and government offices, were busy running around the school in preparation for graduation.
“We are not completely unrelated to this, though.”
“It’s been a long time.”
Sera, who has officially become the first lady-in-waiting at the princess’s palace from this time on, smiled nostalgically at Elena’s words that slipped out.
“It’s not only the students who can attend the party at the royal castle, you know.”
Graduating students are allowed to bring one person of the opposite sex as a partner.

Most of them were the students’ fiancées, and it was implicitly agreed that unless the student was ill or the partner was too young, he or she would take his or her fiancée as a partner.
If a fiancée had not been decided, or if both parties wished to break off the engagement, they could invite the person of their choice and if they received a good response, they could make that person their partner, but they did not know if that person would be their fiancée due to the circumstances of the house.
Of course, there were cases where the partner was not decided until the last minute, in which case the young maids and butlers at the castle escort them. Since many of the workers at the castle were aristocrats, they sometimes fell in love with each other and became fiancées.
