Having made sure that her students were safe, Levisia returned to the student council building, where she reported to Futabe on how everything had gone. "You know, it's still very strange, unusual, and wonderful to me that our roles have changed so much, especially in such a short time. It seems like just recently, I was the principal, and you were one of the students, and not exactly the most successful one," Levisia suppresses a nervous laugh, "and now I'm something like your secretary, haa... But that's all nonsense, I wanted to talk about something else. I..." For a moment, the principal wanted to hug Futabe tightly, but deciding that her kinship with the king might be unpleasant for her, she refrained from doing so, but the moisture that appeared in her eyes betrayed her intentions. "Oh, what was that... Something got in my eye, sorry." She wipes her eyes with a handkerchief, but the tears do not stop. "Futabe, I... I know that words will never bring you peace, and no apologies can justify the fate that was in store for you, and yet... Please forgive my family for what you had to go through. Forgive me for not being able to protect you when I was your teacher, for being powerless now and will be powerless in the future... Honestly, I want to be your ally and help you in everything, but I just don't know how."
