The rest of the ride to the University was quiet, and Amelia didn't mind it. She wanted to take one step at a time.
She exited the car some distance from the University so no one would know about her identity. She then walked to the large gates and was about to enter when she noticed someone.
"What are you doing here?" Amelia asked, her expression neutral, remembering their last encounter.
The man before her smiled before stepping ahead.
"I heard what happened," He said.
Amelia tilted her head, a hopeful smile on her face. Did he come for her?
"You heard?" She asked.
"Yes. You must've been startled. If things are bad for you, how about I ask King Cyrus for permission, and he will allow you to come home for some time?" Her father, Thames, asked.
A little hope reignited in her heart.
Maybe her change in life choices this time will make her favorable and allow her to receive a little love from her father.
