227 To The Council

"Where did he go? I mean I am not complaining since I can go and rest," Randel said with his arms folded.

"Yeah he seemed to be in a hurry to leave since he came, Professor Haru was livid when he arrived," Professor Glory added.

"Is it possible that there are still spies in the city?" Claire spoke with stars in her eyes.

"That can be possible," Kathyln agreed and she started to come up with the theory behind Haru's quick exit with Professor Glory, Claire, and Curtis.

Arthur was looking at Lucas, he didn't know how to feel after this happened.

"What is it Art?" Tessia called Arthur, she knew about the bad blood between the two and was worried if this will affect Arthur in a negative way.

"Nothing," Arthur shook his head and went towards the others who were still trying to find out what Haru was up to.

'Professor is after the real mastermind that is in the city,' This was the popular theory at the moment.

Randel just rolled his eyes at them, He was sure that Haru wasn't up to anything but he didn't say anything.

'He might really be doing something important,' Randel thought rubbing his nose.

In the Noble district, Haru appeared in his house.

He walked through the hallways with an annoyed look on his face.

'Why did they have to attack at such a time? I was about to have dinner while watching the Aurora Constellate,' Haru was angry since he had kind of forgotten about Draneeve's group that was hidden in Xyrus because he was too focused on something else.

And because of that, his dinner with everyone was interrupted. He would of course be angry because of this.

'Maybe they all finished the food already? I should've tortured those idiots,' Haru thought while opening the door to the terrace where everyone was.

"Oh! My Lord you are back," Queresha said, she skilfully took off his coat and stored it in her inventory since there was no rack on the terrace.

"Yes, it took me longer than I thought," Haru spoke with a sigh, Those Lances were even later than the police in movies.

"What are you sighing for? Come and sit or the food will go cold, Queresha went through so much trouble to keep the food hot for you," Kanae shouted from the table in half annoyance.

'It wasn't troublesome,' Queresha thought in her head but didn't say it since everyone will refute her saying she was biased.

"Hmm, What? You guys didn't eat yet?" Haru asked while looking at the table which was the same as when he left.

"Everyone insisted on eating together," Kanae said and looked away.

"Unnie wasn't it you that said do- HIIIII, Unnie don't throw knives at people!!!!!" Jin-ah who was speaking jumped out of her seat to avoid a flying knife.

"Then maybe the people should keep their traps shut," Kanae spoke with a scary tone making Jin-ah nod quickly.

"Kanae why are you mad at Jin-ah for speaking the truth," Hae-in said with a grin.

"Grrrrr," Kanae blushed but she was glaring at Hae-in without saying anything.

"They are as lively as ever," Alea spoke with a sigh and Zenobia nodded with a smile as well. This place was always too lively but in a good way.

Queresha brought the shocked Haru to his seat and helped him sit down.

"What is with that silly smile?" Kanae asked Haru with a frown. She wasn't in a good mood now after what happened.

"Nothing, Let's eat," Haru said and everyone started to eat.

Alea and Jin-ah were fighting at the table, as usual, Zenobia and Queresha ate food slowly while talking, and on the other hand, Kanae and Hae-in were having an eating competition. Kanae won in the end leaving Hae-in gritting her teeth since she was never able to beat kanae in an eating competition.

'Maybe I'll let it slide this time,' Haru smiled and took a sip of his wine looking at the colorful night sky. The wine tasted great maybe it was because he had some after a long time or because it was because of his company.

After stargazing till midnight everyone went to sleep.

Two Days after the incident,

Haru was resting at his house since the academy was under repair after the damage they had sustained, it will be closed for 3 days to recoup from the event that happened. So there was still another day till the academy reopened.

Even after Haru intervened quickly to kill all the monsters while taking care of the attackers, There was still a significant amount of damage done to the academy's facilities and the students. There were many gravely injured students and faculty members.

Thankfully no one died aside from the attackers and the insiders. So that was truly fortunate, Haru had also talked with Cynthia in the morning and heard some interesting news.

'The council actually tried to check if she was a spy or not huh,' Haru thought while leaning on the sofa comfortably.

It was clear that it was a move made to deal damage to the council since it would make a rift between them, That was the reason Cynthia hadn't showed up for the past three days and only sent her orders through communication scrolls to her subordinates in the academy.

Normally they would've caught her but it was too bad for them since Haru already asked Queresha to place an illusion spell on Cynthia so that no one would be able to see those rune symbols on her back.

Queresha is also working on deciphering the runes so that she can break them without causing the person any damage. She was very interested in the rune system the Alacyrans used since it will help her and Zenobia greatly in the advancement of artifact and weapon manufacturing.

"And they even took Arthur away on the pretense of investigating the incident," Haru mumbled and he was thinking about how to approach this situation.

'Looks like Agrona is started to make his move, It was clear that he had his pawns on this continent but to have one or possibly two royal families under his influence? Looks like he seriously made thorough plans to take over this place,' Haru shrugged it off since Agrona would also have the Eraliths under his thumb as well if not for him stepping in to deal with the Mutated Beasts will problem for Tessia.

"I guess it is good that he is thorough, That way I will have fewer problems to deal with later," Haru yawned and sat up stretching his body since he had an appointment with the council today.

Haru walked towards his room to change his clothes since he was wearing a white Yukata at home. Seriously he just wanted to go in what he was wearing but his company wouldn't let him do that.

"My Lord please change into this," As soon as Haru entered his room Queresha who was waiting for him inside pointed at the clothes placed on his bed.

Queresha herself was dressed in a purple military-type uniform that did justice to her phenomenal curves, with her long wavy hair up in a bun letting her bangs fall on her forehead and along the side of her face.

"Is it really necessary?" Haru asked looking at the black vest and pants with a red shirt and a long black cape with golden designs on the borders it screamed as if it belonged to royalty. He was seriously feeling too lazy now since he had been home for two days.

"If My Lord feels lazy I can help you change," Queresha offered.

"Oh! Look at the time if I don't get changed we will definitely get late," Haru spoke quickly as he pushed Queresha out of the room and closed the door. He has some bad memories for these types of situations.

...

Far away in a distant place,

"ACHOO," a purple-haired woman with a voluptuous figure sneezed loudly.

"What happened to you Raikou?" A red-headed woman looked back in annoyance since she was disturbed.

"Fufu, I Wonder if Ha-chan is missing me," Raikou said with a laugh.

"WHY WOULD HE MISS YOU?" Akane who is Haru's mother flared in anger.

'Fufu, Ha-chan Mom also misses you,' Raikou thought lost in her own head ignoring Akane jumping around in anger with poor Yanagi trying to calm her down.

....

'Why do I feel uneasy?' Haru shuddered a little and looked around before shaking his head.

"There is still time left," Queresha smiled sweetly while looking at the clock outside the room.

'My Lord is so cute when he gets flustered,' Queresha hummed happily while waiting for Haru to change his clothes.

Haru changed into his clothes after a quick shower and walked out in 15 minutes.

"Resha and Zenobia sorry to keep you guys waiting," Haru said waving at the both of them.

"I just arrived here so no worries," Zenobia said with a small smile, She was also going to the council to attend the meeting, She has dressed appropriately in a white shirt with a grey vest and pants along with a pure white cape with her family insignia on the back.
