Unexpected teacher-student reunion

"My Lady, I've brought the esteemed guests who would like to have a word with you..." The guard addressed Madam Layla with a slight bow.

"Mmm, you may leave now..." Madam Layla nodded.

"As you wish, My Lady." The guard nodded and promptly departed, returning to his post.

"Please have a seat, esteemed guests from the Magic Academy," Madam Layla invited Rowena and Silas to sit, indicating an empty sofa near Lord Ivan and his companions.

"Thank you very much..." Both Rowena and Silas acknowledged with nods before taking their seats on the sofa.

"Oh my, Lord Ivan, Lady Eliza, Lady Diana, I didn't expect to see you all here. What a coincidence," Rowena remarked with a smile. Her gaze then fell on the unconscious Lord Joseph, her expression turning puzzled.

'What happened to Lord Joseph here? The floor is slightly cracked. Did someone fight here?' Rowena examined the floor and Lord Joseph with suspicion.
