43 Lunafreya (2/2)

Unknowingly, a burning desire was born in her heart as she committed this image to very depths of her memory. She swore silently that she will truly work hard to help Raven achieve this grand plan of his.

”Looks like you want to replace the Royal Family huh...” Luna teased. Raven was dumbfounded but laughed afterwards.

”Replacing is not in my plans but marrying you is...” Raven whispered in a low voice.

”What did you say?”

”Nothing!” Raven panicked a bit, ”Well, it's very late now so I'm off to sleep. Don't stay up too late.” He didn't even wait for her to say anything more as he nimbly climbed back to his room and disappeared.

Luna gaped at how fast he escaped, she shook her head and looked up to the sky one last time. She was thanking the gods above that no one aside from her was present right now because if there was, then they would see a deep crimson blush on her cheeks.

Inside a room filled with darkness, there were several people who are standing in front of a tall glass window, overseeing what's happening beyond it.

They wore majestic clothing and were surrounded by people who acted as guards for them. None of them showed any joy at their faces, they were only showing deep anger.

”Would you kindly provide us with a brief report of what happened?” A tall and fair man asked in a authoritative voice that none had any qualms about.

”Affirmative.” Raven and his crew would definitely be familiar with this voice, this is none other than Jackson.

”As the class that we supervised were scheduled to tour the Beast Domestication Center, we managed to uncover a trap that was laid around the place. It turns out that some people from the Black Curtain Guild managed to penetrate our forces and place a total of 18 seeds of Flesh Eating Vines all over the center in order to cause chaos.”

”Their goal was to create malicious rumors to weaken the citizen's belief towards our forces. With the quick action of Chief Director Maddock, we immediately dealt with the whole situation without leaking the news to the crowd. But it turns out that this is just the other half of their plan. As we head back to the Inn where our students are resting, we managed to spot a team of 9 criminals concealed on top of the Inn's roof. They were planning to abduct the kids and use them as a token of exchange to further cause our citizens to feel unconfident about out management. In the end, we managed to apprehend the force without causing too much commotion.”

As Jackson finished his report, none reacted. But it didn't mean that the people present didn't care about his reports at all. It's quite the opposite really, this is shown by how much darker and colder their gazes transformed.

”You said 9 criminals right? Who are the rest inside?”

”Those who wore black clothes are the criminals that I'm talking about, as for the others, they are previously working under Chief Maddock's but gotten apprehended as he made a purge as soon as we solved the problem on the center.”

”Now that I thought about it, they seem to have specifically targeted this class. You see, in that class we have Sir Leon's daughter, Sir Bradley's daughter, Sir Hawk's son, Sir Clyde's son, Sir Raphael's son and finally my sister. I don't think that such a coincidence exists...”

”To follow up with that claim Your Highness, please take a look at that person.” Jackson pointed out Snake behind the glass wall. ”He is a disciple of the 5th Emissary of the Black Curtain Guild, previously he was working with at the outer institute and was even the one who caused a merchant clan to conspire with the enemies. Sir Lee could confirm this fact.”

Before the man could say anything, a wizened old man stepped forward and bowed in front of him.

”I am truly disheartened and embarrassed about this event Your Highness. It is my lack of supervision and foresight that caused this whole event to unfold. I am willing to shoulder any punishment that you think is appropriate.”

The old man felt a solid palm on his shoulders, he looked up and saw the man smiling at him and said: ”My punishment is for you to tighten up the defences of the institutes. We have to make sure that the only place where our youth can grow and learn is completely safe. Are you able to do this Sir Bradley?”

The old man felt even more guilty but manage to say: ”I will do everything in my power to make your wishes happen Crown Prince.”
