In the past three days Liam had spent in the Tempest Palace, he'd been holding onto the hope that he could soon return to the academy and resume his normal life. Though he had sworn to kill demons, that oath was primarily aimed at the Blood Demons. It wasn't that he wouldn't kill Gaia Demons if necessary—but risking his life in a battle that could end him before he even began his journey to hunt the one who killed Grandpa Billy wasn't something he was eager for.
But that hope was shattered the moment Queen Lucy informed him of the continent-wide academy lockdown.
Liam was pissed. The last thing he wanted was to drift around idly, with no direction. Still, he didn't care too much—he figured he'd just return to Nystra City and stay with the Silverharts until the lockdown was lifted.
While Liam often appeared emotionless, the Silverharts held a rare place in his heart. Going back to them would've been the best thing to happen to him in months.
