"I'm sorry, what your Majesty!?"

The surprised Captain spoke in shock.

"I said, (YN) should attend middle school with my son," Regis repeated with a kind smile that showed his calmness and slight humor over his friend's outburst. Max's attentive form slightly slouched to his king's proposition, his right hand moved from his back to his face. Fingers rubbing his eye's, heaving a heavy sigh, "Why would she need to go if she has me as well as certified teachers in the palace?" He deadpanned, "the same can be said for your son." This caused the king to nod in agreement before he stood from his throne, "True but wouldn't it benefit them to be with others their age?"

Max sighed, "She is a Sentinel, one of the last of our kind. She is meant to be hidden, as being the one to take my place she doesn't need any distractions. (YN) has to be prepared for this great responsibility, she is Prince Noctis's shadow." Max finished, turning his head to a painting of himself and his king, his eye's softened. A hand on his shoulder got his attention, "And she will, but they aren't born in a time of war like us. We fought for our freedom, our peace. Let us let them have it while they can my friend, they may have duties but are they not still children?" Regis conclude this made Max gaze at him in deep thought before turning back to the painting. There was silence for a short time until Max spoke, "I just... want her to be ready."

"And she will be, I trust her with my son's life, even my own. Besides with them both at the same school, she can protect him." Regis said with a closed eye smile. The Captain pondered his options, it was true with her being by the young prince's side she can be there for him. All the while, she will be able to socialize with kids her age. It was a win-win, finally nodding in Regis's direction, "Fine, but I will train her harder, she must make up for the hours she loses because of school." A tired huff of defeat left the middle-aged man's body as he fully turned to his friend, bowing before taking his leave. 'I hope this will go well.' He groaned in his head as he walked back to the Lennox residence, preparing to tell Macko and his daughter the news.

//One week later//

(YN) was ecstatic when the first day of the new week arrived. She was going to attend school, a public school. Though she kept all the jitteriness on the inside as she left her room. This school apparently didn't need uniforms at least not until high school, to which she was grateful for since she didn't know if she could survive in a skirt all day. Her (HC) hair grew out a bit more, going a couple inches down from her earlobes. Finishing up getting ready she looked at her reflection,

'Not bad', she thought before leaving her room. Macko couldn't go to school with her today since he had to help Max with some errands, but when he will be able to, he would have to shrink down to the size of a fox as to make traveling easier for the both of them.

After eating breakfast with him and her father, the two walked out with her to the front of their home. A car was waiting for her, but as she was about to leave her father stopped her, he got down on one knee to adjust her shirt at its sides, "Now focus on your work and keep an eye on the prince alright." He said in a serious tone, to which she gave a 'yes sir' followed by a small bow to him. She turned to the black car, a butler opened the side door for her.
