Volume 7 Chapter 48: Krystal, What Did You Do?

The next day in class, Keith and his group entered the classroom. But when they did, the man could already tell something was wrong. The air was weird. However, that was not the selling point. Others were talking with one another as they pointed down at a newspaper.

Keith glanced at Alfia and Scarlet. The two always had the best at sensing things like this. The two girls nodded as well.

"Carolyn, do you know what's the matter?" Carolyn was also looking down at something.

"You should take a look at this." The princess took a deep sigh as she showed him a newspaper. Everyone glanced over Keith's shoulders. And the title was just so big.

Rustchil Household Head suspected of betraying the Solis Kingdom!

Gabriel and the other's eyes widened.

"Isn't that Krystal's family?"

"How did it become like this?"

"Doesn't that make her a target?" Betraying the Solis Kingdom? Didn't that mean that the head would be going against the entire kingdom?

"..." Keith said nothing as he stared at the news. This is what Tristan meant. He took the prince's words to heart. But never did he expect it to be something like this.

The door was opened, and everyone saw Krystal. Her eyes were hollowed, and her cheeks were slightly pale like the other days as she walked into class.

"Isn't the head of the Rustchil family her father?"

"Doesn't that mean she's concluding to take down the royal family?"

"I can't believe there are so many black sheep."

Gabriel and the rest's expression turned dark. Do they not understand she could hear you? The girl was within earshot; she definitely heard that as she stopped moving for a second.

"..." But it was only a second before she sat down. Aidiun came in soon after. He said, "I hope everyone can focus on their work and not on anything else. Is that understood?"

"Yes."

"Alright, let's begin class." Aidiun and the others started class like usual.

...

The news about the Rustchil household had become a wildfire as it spread throughout the academy in a few days. Such a big household betraying their own kingdom would be huge news.

That was something Krystal received the following morning after she heard the news. Even when she heard about it, she never expected something like this. No, she couldn't expect it. She knows her father. He would never do something like that.

But the damage was done. When the news came out, what Krystal noticed was the eyes. Soulless and full of spite. Even one stabbed her from every direction. It was disgusting. It was like a tower of cards. One slight misstep and everything came crashing down.



Right now, she was in knight class when Tennol called out, "Krystal, you're up against Keith!"

"..."

"Krystal!"

"Sorry." Krystal shook her head as she walked up against Keith. The man had a calm expression as he held onto his shield.

"..."

"A dark noble like you need to scram from here."

"...What did you say?"

"You're a disgraced noble."

"..."

...

"I wonder how she's doing?" Keith had a worried look as he muttered. His words only made Jack tilt his head, "Are you kidding me right now?"

"Eh?"

"Why are you worrying about someone who doesn't care about you?" Krystal definitely wouldn't care about Keith. Yet this guy was like this?

"I'm worried about her."

"...Don't tell me you like her?"

"It's not about like. I'm worried that she's spiraling out of control."

"Eh?"

"Do you not see what's going on? She had that feeling coming from her." Keith saw something different from Krystal. The thing was only getting darker and darker.

Jack sighed, "You don't need to be so worried about someone who hates you."

"Ahaha. Krystal isn't a bad person. I think she's just misunderstood by most people." Being cold didn't mean the person was bad. Krystal helped him out a lot with his shield training.

"...That doesn't change the fact you're being nosy."

"True." Keith wasn't going to deny that. What he was doing was indeed nosy.

"Wahhhh!"

"Huh?" Keith and Jack looked at one another. Did we just hear someone scream? Before the two could ask one another, a person ran away from there.

"What in the world?"

"Eh? Knight? What's wrong?" Keith looked up at Knight, who was slightly disturbed.

"Ngeh!"

Blood? Keith realized why Knight was acting like that. There was a scent of blood from the hallway!

"Come on." Without any hesitation, Keith summoned his sword, and he dashed over. Taking the corner, the two froze. What they saw made them gasp.

"Krystal, what did you do?"

"..." A cold glare was the only thing Krystal responded with.
