Aftermath Of The Duel

Infirmary of Nightfall Academy…

“Are you okay, Brother?” Lilian asked the handsome teenager who was currently bedridden in the infirmary.

“Yes,” Cedric replied. “I already took a healing potion. Most of my injuries have recovered. I only need to rest.”

Lilian nodded. “Good.”

Nero, who was standing beside the bed with arms crossed over his chest, looked at Cedric with a solemn expression on his face.

“Ethan’s words… are they real?” Nero asked. “Did you really set up this duel in order to steal his fiance?”

“Yes,” Cedric replied in a heartbeat. “I’m sorry, Headmaster. I brought you a lot of trouble today.”

Nero sighed as he shook his head helplessly.

“The damage has already been done,” Nero stated. “For now, you will keep a low profile and not contact any of the members of Brynhildr Academy. We don’t need another scandal before the Legacy Gate opens. Do I make myself clear?”
