What In This World! Oh... Wait A Minute. It's Another World.

--Back to Dawson Sen, after Carmen's explanation--

We were sitting on a chair in my room as Carmen told me what happened to her yesterday. About a minute after she was finished recanting yesterday's events from her point of view, I commented so that she knew I was not just ignoring her, but I honestly did not know how to reply.

"So, that's what happened?" pausing for about 5 seconds, "I'm glad you are safe." (Dawson)

Leaning on me, "I know myself better than anyone, if I can't find a way to beat myself, how can I even dream to be able to protect others?" (Carmen)

Pulling her closer, "If it were me who had gone through such a trial, I know not if it would be me who you were talking to." (Dawson)

"I believe in you Dawson..." (Carmen)

Interrupting her, "If I didn't already know that before, I know that now... I mean, you even put your life in my hands. If you don't trust me, I don't know what trust is." (Dawson)

She turned to look straight at me in surprise of the sudden interruption. She then laughed once she actually heard what I was saying.

"Hah, I guess you have a point. Honestly speaking, if what I have for you is not both love and trust, I know not what either are." ending that statement by burying her face in my c.h.e.s.t. (Carmen)

We just sat there like that for a little while. Without noticing we both fell asleep. My slumber was interrupted by father waking me up.

"Dawson, Carmen, breakfast is ready." (Ernest)

Looking up at father while scratching the back of my head, "Thank you for coming to get us for breakfast, we kinda fell back asleep" (Dawson)

"I see that," he turns around, "So, are you coming?" and then he goes out the door.

I see Carmen still sleeping soundly on my c.h.e.s.t, I keep from laughing at the fact that she is able to sleep through me talking at a normal volume with my father while she is on my c.h.e.s.t, which is what would vibrate the most while talking.

I kiss her nose, "Ramen, it's time to get up, breakfast is ready." (Dawson)

Rubbing her nose with a smile, "Five more minutes papa."

I can't stop myself from laughing, which my fit of laughter ends up startling her awake.

"Sorry for the surprise Ramen, but I could not help laughing after you calling me papa, I guess I'll take that as a compliment." I continued laughing. (Dawson)

Her cheeks quickly gained a more rosy hue, "You don't have to laugh that much about it! It's just that my dad had often woken me up like that, and since I felt so safe, I thought that it was my dad waking me up!" (Carmen)

Breathing a bit to calm myself down, "I'm sorry Ramen, I will stop laughing now." (Dawson)

She looks at me with a smiling pouty face, "𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫!" (Carmen)

"Anyway, my reason for waking you was to tell you that father came in to let us know that breakfast was ready, you hun..." *𝘊𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘯'𝘴 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘳𝘶𝘮𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴* "...gry?" (Dawson)

Speaking plainly with a smile, "Famished." (Carmen)

"Well, then let's go" (Dawson)

We walk towards the dining room, along the way we are startled by the butler suddenly appearing in front of us. '𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘶𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘸' I helplessly thought.

"Young Prince, I noticed someone trying to teleport you to them, but since you are in the palace, no one has the right, so I can freely intercept and keep you from being teleported. Currently, I am only keeping it from finishing. I want to ask you, do you want me to completely sever the spell, which may insure a small price of backlash on the caster, let the spell go through now and possibly join you wherever it may take you, or hold it out until you feel prepared for whatever may come and then let it through?" (Butler)

"Please, just sever it... however, if they attack me whilst I am not here, don't bother stopping them, I want to see who is doing this... however, if you notice it and care to join me, by all means." (Dawson)

"Understood, severing their spell's connection to you." (Butler)

He closes his eyes, rests them for a few moments, then opens them and then just turns around and walks away. I look at Carmen in confusion, and she looks just as confused as I feel. We both shrug and continue on our way.

We eat breakfast, go out in the practice aria and lightly spar in hand-to-hand combat, then head towards the magic school with nothing eventful happening.

Our first day at school just felt like my first day at high school, I mean, I honestly don't really know how to describe it. I know what I'll do, I'll just list the schedule that I had, followed by a brief description of what happened in that class.
