Sign Of The Prince(2)

Burt knew he had a class, but called the head instructor at the academy to let him know that he was going out on urgent business.

The head instructor would only let Burt leave right before his class. Any other instructor would have to wait, but Burt has a special relationship with the Queen.

Burt was quickly moving out of the academy gates, because the news he has trumped everything else at the moment.

'Alaric is showing signs of having the blood of the Monster King in him. He's the only child to be born from a King.'

Burt remembered Inian telling him that the power of the King was usually passed down through the King's heart, but Inian had never heard of a King having a child. That would make Inian the only Monster King ever with a living heir, a child who has obtained his power without having the heart of the King.

Burt was never sure what would happen to Alaric, but now that he's witnessed him having an episode, everything has changed.
