Volume 7 Chapter 69: Making Them Regret It

“Thank you for coming here, everyone.” Everyone had arrived at the dining room. Krystal had asked them to come.

“Umm, there’s something I want to talk with you about. But first things first, I want to thank everyone.”

“Hmm?”

“I know I’ve been causing trouble for all of you these last few days. You guys have been comforting me.” Krystal had to thank them for doing this. 

Faelyn shook her head, “There’s no need to thank us. We’re friends, and friends stick together.”

“...” 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.

“I received a letter from my family.” Krystal held it up, “It said that my family is asking me to return home.”

“Hmm?”

“What’s the problem with this?” A letter to return to the family sounded so typical. 

“It’s what comes after it.” Krystal muttered, “It’s telling me that my mother is sick, and I need to return home.”

“That’s bad.” 

“How is it bad?” Melor frowned, “Besides the part about her mother being sick?” 

“…Wait a moment.” Keith paused, “Who’s running the dukedom then?” This situation was more complicated than it seemed. It usually went like this, if the head couldn’t control their land 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?

“...” Everyone froze. 

“...It’s a trap,” Alfia muttered. Everything in the letter was saying trap. As everyone thought about the darkness hidden behind the letter, 

“This letter also doesn’t help your case either.” Cadmus and the adults entered the room.

“Eh?” 

“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.”

“Eh?” The others were baffled by this. They want Krystal to leave? Her letter versus Cadmus’s letter was doing two completely different things. 

“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. 

Trap from a mile away.

“…You didn’t expel her, did you?” Keith stared at the dragon.

“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. 

“Why reveal it now?” That was meant to be a personal letter to him. 

“I wasn’t planning 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.”

“Thank you, Principal.” Krystal bowed. Cadmus shook his head, “For them to keep it silent. That means they’re targeting you.”

“…”

“Then I guess we will have to go in and find out.” Keith explained, “If they want to trap you so badly, let them.”

“Eh?” You still want her to go?

“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. 

“Are you really going to let such a stupid plan trap you?”

“No.” Krystal shook her head.

“Then get them.” Keith grinned.

“…” Krystal took a deep breath, “Understood!”

“But first things first, you need to check on your mother. All of this could be a farce just to lure you home.”

“True.”

...

“I’m going to head off now.” Krystal took a deep sigh. Gabriel and the others waved, “Stay safe. And make sure you come back to us.”

“Show them your power.” “Just punch them out!”

Krystal chuckled, “Understood.”

“Seriously, she’s going to cut them instead.” Keith sighed as he walked over.

“Huh? Why are you dressed like that?” 

“I’m going with her, duh.”

“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! 

“So you going is fine?!”

“Yeah.” Keith nodded, “Also got the go-ahead from Cadmus and Sohma.”

“…You don’t need to.”

“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.”

“…”  Krystal sighed.

“Make sure that Keith doesn’t do anything crazy.”

“Relax, I won’t do anything crazy there.” Keith rolled his eyes. The two walked out of the academy. 

“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. 

Krystal shook her head, “No, there was no information.”

“…” 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.”

“…” What’s with the grin on your face? There was a devious grin on his face.

“…Shouldn’t we make a grand entrance?”

“…” Warning bells went through Krystal’s mind.
