Ellen Young's interest in Ruffy Smith's bedroom was fleeting.
Being alone was just too boring for her, so she decided to go downstairs to the lobby to take a look.
As she reached the garden in the middle, she saw a large group of people.
This group consisted of young men and women dressed in luxurious attire, clearly coming from prominent families, accompanying their parents along with the sons of nobility and Miss Kanya Cooper.
They were laughing and talking as they walked towards the back yard, and bumped right into Ellen Young on their way.
The moment they saw Ellen Young, they all froze in unison.
Ellen didn't recognize them, but could guess their identities, whereas they recognized her instantly.
To be precise, there wasn't a young person in Imperial City who didn't know Ellen Young, a familiar figure to the nation.
Seeing Ellen at that moment, they took a second before reacting together, addressing her with a chorus, "Scholar Young."
"Miss Young, hello."
