<span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you foring here, everyone.” Everyone had arrived at the dining room. Krystal had asked them toe.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Umm, there’s something I want to talk with you about. But first things first, I want to thank everyone.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I know I’ve been causing trouble for all of you thesest few days. You guys have beenforting me.” Krystal had to thank them for doing this.
<span style="font-weight:400">Faelyn shook her head, “There’s no need to thank us. We’re friends, and friends stick together.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“...” Krystal scratched her head, trying to keep calm. Herrick was the most direct one, “So what’s the problem?” There had to be a situation for her to act like this.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I received a letter from my family.” Krystal held it up, “It said that my family is asking me to return home.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Hmm?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“What’s the problem with this?” A letter to return to the family sounded so typical.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“It’s whates after it.” Krystal muttered, “It’s telling me that my mother is sick, and I need to return home.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“That’s bad.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“How is it bad?” Melor frowned, “Besides the part about her mother being sick?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“…Wait a moment.” Keith paused, “Who’s running the dukedom then?” This situation was moreplicated than it seemed. It usually went like this, if the head couldn’t control theirnd due to sickness or absence of leave, then it would be up to the spouse to do it next. That was what made it so weird. If Krystal’s mother, the interim head, was sick, who managed the duchy?
<span style="font-weight:400">“...” Everyone froze.
<span style="font-weight:400">“...It’s a trap,” Alfia muttered. Everything in the letter was saying trap. As everyone thought about the darkness hidden behind the letter,
<span style="font-weight:400">“This letter also doesn’t help your case either.” Cadmus and the adults entered the room.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?”
<span style="font-weight:400">“I also received a letter with the Rustchil emblem on it.” Cadmus held the letter in the air, “It was telling me to expel you from the academy.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?” The others were baffled by this. They want Krystal to leave? Her letter versus Cadmus’s letter was doing twopletely different things.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“So they were asking Krystal to return by using her mother’s sickness as bait, and then when she returned, she won’t be able to return to the academy.” Tying everything together, this was basically what happened.
<span style="font-weight:400">Trap from a mile away.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…You didn’t expel her, did you?” Keith stared at the dragon.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Heck no.” Cadmus shrugged, “Whoever who wrote that damn letter thought he was some bigwig. I would not listen to the letter at all.” It was one of the most haughty things he had read.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Why reveal it now?” That was meant to be a personal letter to him.
<span style="font-weight:400">“I wasn’t nning to reveal it to you. I thought this was some sort of joke. But when I overhead Krystal’s letter, this isn’t something I should keep to myself.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Thank you, Principal.” Krystal bowed. Cadmus shook his head, “For them to keep it silent. That means they’re targeting you.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then I guess we will have to go in and find out.” Keith exined, “If they want to trap you so badly, let them.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Eh?” You still want her to go?
<span style="font-weight:400">“They’re going to find out how much trouble they’re in for doing something like that.” So what if they wanted to trap Krystal? There was going to be hell to pay.
<span style="font-weight:400">“Are you really going to let such a stupid n trap you?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“No.” Krystal shook her head.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Then get them.” Keith grinned.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” Krystal took a deep breath, “Understood!”
<span style="font-weight:400">“But first things first, you need to check on your mother. All of this could be a farce just to lure you home.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“True.”
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m going to head off now.” Krystal took a deep sigh. Gabriel and the others waved, “Stay safe. And make sure youe back to us.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Show them your power.” “Just punch them out!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Krystal chuckled, “Understood.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Seriously, she’s going to cut them instead.” Keith sighed as he walked over.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh? Why are you dressed like that?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I’m going with her, duh.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Huh?! Didn’t you say before we all can’t go?!” Everyone wanted to rush to the Rustchil estate to deal with the culprit. But Keith warned them that if they all charged in, it would cause more problems. Half of them were royalty. It would definitely cause an international war!
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“So you going is fine?!”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Yeah.” Keith nodded, “Also got the go-ahead from Cadmus and Sohma.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…You don’t need to.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“I said before I was your leader. That means your problems are my problems. And I was the one who goaded you into going. I’m just going to be there to assist.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” Krystal sighed.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“Make sure that Keith doesn’t do anything crazy.”
<span style="font-weight:400">“Rx, I won’t do anything crazy there.” Keith rolled his eyes. The two walked out of the academy.
<span style="font-weight:400">“How are we going to go to your dukedom? Are they going to send you a carriage?” That should be the case most of the time. That was what happened with Carolyn. The royal carriage would send them back and to the academy.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">Krystal shook her head, “No, there was no information.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” They are definitely trying to alienate her. Krystal realized it as well. Keith took a sigh, “Then we’ll just have to rent a carriage.”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” What’s with the grin on your face? There was a devious grin on his face.
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…Shouldn’t we make a grand entrance?”
<span style="font-weight:400">
<span style="font-weight:400">“…” Warning bells went through Krystal’s mind.
