Chapter 251 - Information gathering (part 3)

"Of course, but... this is a far more grave situation than I envisioned..."

The red-haired girl muttered with concern, biting her lips.

"...still, with all that, I am a lot more confused why would the royal family decide to call for a bunch of young inexperienced nobles, o matter how strong they might be. It would make much more sense to command other noble families to do the same thing that the Espines are doing – gather and train forces and... wait, hold on... that timing..."

Kierul grumbled feeling that she was missing something and then when she said a certain word her eyes widened in realization.

"Prince Surou... have... all absent students been summoned for the participation of the King's Guard training...?!"

She gasped in shock, staring at the second prince as if demanding him to deny her words.

"Unfortunately, that is exactly what is going on."

The blue-haired boy nodded his head with a serious expression.
