For most students, graduation was another event to forge connections. Not only some influential parents would come, but the academies would also invite people from guilds and the Sentinel Association.
Kar didn't need such connections--rather, he was one of those connections. While Trinity was not a family-owned guild, people already assumed he would be the future guildmaster. How could they not--his father was the guildmaster of the branch, and his godfather was the owner of the guild.
Thus, at first, he had no plan of attending the graduation. Just like a lot of other things, he inherited an aversion to crowds and formal events from his guide father. But under the effect of sparkling blue eyes framed in long, white lashes, Kar had no choice but to change his mind.
