CHAPTER 157 - To the Desolate.

The council's return to the academy was swift but tense. The letter's ominous message had left the members uneasy with Lucian's threat looming over them. 

Sitting on his throne while giving the council members advice, Alex heard Sophie's voice in his head.

[You could tell them that it's not Lucian's threat and not to take things this seriously.]

It was the best way to calm the situation, but Alex didn't agree to that.

'No,' he shook his head on the inside, his eyes scanning the tense expressions on the faces of the council members. 'They must stay tense as that's the only way we can make Keryu believe it.'

[Ah...]

Realization finally hit Sophie.

Keryu Ivanovich was not someone who would let an opportunity like this slip by.
