Bad News

Rey and Adonis didn't speak another word to each other until they got to the Living Quarters.

Once they opened the door, everyone was already waiting for them in the living room—just as Adonis had said.

However, it wasn't just the students.

Conrad and all the four other members of the Royal Council were present.

Lucielle was also around.

'What's with their expression? They don't look so good…' That wasn't all that Rey noticed as he walked in, though.

He looked hard at the crowd of students before him, counting only twenty-four instead of twenty-six, minusing him and Adonis.

He didn't see Billy in the crowd, which surprised him since he was always a stickler for the rules

However, much more concerning for Rey was the other person who seemed to be absent.

'Alicia isn't here…?!'

The fact that he didn't see her in the Library also meant one thing—something happened to her.

'What's going on? Is she fine?'
