    <span style="text-decoration:underline"><span style="font-weight:400">Volume 7 Chapter 48: Krystal, What Did You Do?


    <span style="font-weight:400">The next day in ss, Keith and his group entered the ssroom. But when they did, the man could already tell something was wrong. The air was weird. However, that was not the selling point. Others were talking with one another as they pointed down at a newspaper.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith nced at Alfia and Scarlet. The two always had the best at sensing things like this. The two girls nodded as well.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Carolyn, do you know what''s the matter?" Carolyn was also looking down at something.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You should take a look at this." The princess took a deep sigh as she showed him a newspaper. Everyone nced over Keith''s shoulders. And the title was just so big.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Rustchil Household Head suspected of betraying the Solis Kingdom!


    <span style="font-weight:400">Gabriel and the other''s eyes widened.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Isn''t that Krystal''s family?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How did it be like this?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Doesn''t that make her a target?" Betraying the Solis Kingdom? Didn''t that mean that the head would be going against the entire kingdom?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Keith said nothing as he stared at the news. This is what Tristan meant. He took the prince''s words to heart. But never did he expect it to be something like this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The door was opened, and everyone saw Krystal. Her eyes were hollowed, and her cheeks were slightly pale like the other days as she walked into ss.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Isn''t the head of the Rustchil family her father?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Doesn''t that mean she''s concluding to take down the royal family?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I can''t believe there are so many ck sheep."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Gabriel and the rest''s expression turned dark. Do they not understand she could hear you? The girl was within earshot; she definitely heard that as she stopped moving for a second.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." But it was only a second before she sat down. Aidiun came in soon after. He said, "I hope everyone can focus on their work and not on anything else. Is that understood?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Yes."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Alright, let''s begin ss." Aidiun and the others started ss like usual.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">The news about the Rustchil household had be a wildfire as it spread throughout the academy in a few days. Such a big household betraying their own kingdom would be huge news.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That was something Krystal received the following morning after she heard the news. Even when she heard about it, she never expected something like this. No, she couldn''t expect it. She knows her father. He would never do something like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But the damage was done. When the news came out, what Krystal noticed was the eyes. Soulless and full of spite. Even one stabbed her from every direction. It was disgusting. It was like a tower of cards. One slight misstep and everything came crashing down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">


    <span style="font-weight:400">Right now, she was in knight ss when Tennol called out, "Krystal, you''re up against Keith!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Krystal!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry." Krystal shook her head as she walked up against Keith. The man had a calm expression as he held onto his shield.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Begin!" Like that, the two began their fight! It was supposed to be an intense battle between the two best students. But it became more one-sided.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Krystal was the same as before; she was on the defensive. And this was not good since Keith was using a shield. He should be the one putting his guard up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Yet this battle was too different.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tch!" Krystal tried to attack Keith with her rapier. However, that only caused Keith to frown as he mmed his shield and sent her flying.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith, you''re the winner," Tennol stated.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Understood." A deep sigh came out of Keith''s mouth. But that was when he walked up to Krystal,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You need to be more serious about this." Keith frowned.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Let me help you up." Keith raised his hand as he tried to pick her up. But that was when Krystal looked up at him. There was a second before she pped his hand!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Get away from me!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." Everyone stared at them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Why are you looking at me like that? What is with your look?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I don''t need pity from a Bradley!" Krystal roared as she walked away from him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Jack walked up to Keith, "You shouldn''t have gone up to her like that." The two of them were water and fire.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Are you sure?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">…


    <span style="font-weight:400">Krystal started to walk around more aimlessly than before. But it was nothingpared to how she felt during ss. Everyone had treated her like the gue. Even when she was changing into her uniform, everyone stared at her mockingly. Walking around alone made her feel at ease.


    <span style="font-weight:400">She was alone in the hallway, trying to make heads on what was urring.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Well, if it isn''t the outcast." A group suddenly surrounded her. And that group was none other than the ones who tried to get her to join their club.


    <span style="font-weight:400">However, Krystal didn''t look at the person but continued walking, passing them by. She could tell who it was, and she did not care about them. She was too focused on her own matters to care about someone else.


    <span style="font-weight:400">That was enough to cause the group''s expression to drop.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How dare you walk away from us?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you think you''re some sort of hotshot after what your family caused?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?" Krystal paused as she stared at them. Those words were enough to rile her up.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What? Do you think you''re able to talk to us after what your noble did?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re nothing more than amoner now."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"A dark noble like you need to scram from here."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...What did you say?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re a disgraced noble."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I wonder how she''s doing?" Keith had a worried look as he muttered. His words only made Jack tilt his head, "Are you kidding me right now?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why are you worrying about someone who doesn''t care about you?" Krystal definitely wouldn''t care about Keith. Yet this guy was like this?


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I''m worried about her."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...Don''t tell me you like her?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s not about like. I''m worried that she''s spiraling out of control."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Do you not see what''s going on? She had that feelinging from her." Keith saw something different from Krystal. The thing was only getting darker and darker.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Jack sighed, "You don''t need to be so worried about someone who hates you."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ahaha. Krystal isn''t a bad person. I think she''s just misunderstood by most people." Being cold didn''t mean the person was bad. Krystal helped him out a lot with his shield training.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"...That doesn''t change the fact you''re being nosy."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"True." Keith wasn''t going to deny that. What he was doing was indeed nosy.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Wahhhh!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Huh?" Keith and Jack looked at one another. Did we just hear someone scream? Before the two could ask one another, a person ran away from there.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What in the world?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Eh? Knight? What''s wrong?" Keith looked up at Knight, who was slightly disturbed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ngeh!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Blood? Keith realized why Knight was acting like that. There was a scent of blood from the hallway!


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Come on." Without any hesitation, Keith summoned his sword, and he dashed over. Taking the corner, the two froze. What they saw made them gasp.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Krystal, what did you do?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..." A cold re was the only thing Krystal responded with.
