'Ael. Ael. Ael. Please say something.'
Cale's gaze fell on his childhood friend who was standing next to Rain.
But despite his pleas, she didn't react in any way to the tension between them.
Cale's heart hit rock bottom.
Even from their shared childhood, he believed she was destined to be his.
From the moment he met her as a little girl, he couldn't forget about her. And after spending those years training to become a man worthy of her, he finally got the chance to meet her again.
Trial in the Rift, Academy Tournament, and Cultural Vacation.
These were the three events Cale had to use to get close to Ael, gain her trust, and make her see him in a new light. Not as a 'Silly Cale', but as a man.
These were his precious opportunities!
But right now, two of them had already been brazenly stolen by a smarmy bastard... and the third was on the verge of meeting a similar fate.
