Rudra the teacher

( Regus Aurelius's POV ) 

Regus was stomped with work, but while his duties as a monarch were urgent and important, they were forced to take a backseat after Ixtal was drowned in werewolf howls. 

Max's antics had put the entire planet on high alert and while the Aurelius clan comprised most of the inhabitants of Ixtal there were still ambassadors of all clans present on the planet who were demanding an answer to what exactly happened. 

The news of the event travelled fast and Regus was reluctant to answer. 

If news came out that he had kicked Max resulting in him falling into the Sanguis, then the first question would not be as to why Max fell into the river but as to why Regus kicked Max in the first place. 

He had been putting off Max's trial for so long and if the news came out that he was free enough to meet with Max but instead of setting him free he bullied the boy, it would paint his picture as the oppressive bully.
