Most of the students studying in the academy are involved in large and small forces, and it is inevitable that there are children of powerful people who belong to different camps.
But what these people have in common is that they are all future humerus ministers of the kingdom. No matter which one is broken, it is a very pity loss. Such special regulations can prevent them from becoming puppets controlled by family struggles to a certain extent.
Qingxi Academy is equivalent to a neutral zone, ensuring and monitoring the personal safety of all students within it.
Harold twirled his magnifying glass and tapped it on his desk.
"Ahem, Wayne." He had a very serious expression.
"I want to give you a task."
Wayne twitched the corner of his mouth, guessing that it was probably something troublesome. "Can I say no?"
"Hey, don't refuse so quickly!" Although Harold was choked by him, he obviously did not give up. He reorganized his words and persuaded again: "Look, as the president of the Lily Club, To a certain extent, you can represent the position of all the elites in the academy. If the academy’s prestige is damaged, isn’t your personal prestige also being damaged?!”
This sentence is not wrong.
The reason why Lily Club has such a prominent position in Qingxi Academy is because of the great efforts of previous presidents and members.
Therefore, even if these latecomers enjoy extremely unreasonable privileges and even if ordinary students complain, their status is still extremely difficult to shake.
If he were just standing on the standpoint of the Lily Club, he should actively protect the privileges of Qingxi Academy.
But Wayne had to consider that behind him, apart from the Lily Club, the interests of the family were obviously more involved... In fact, as long as he came forward, it would be difficult for people to think that the matter had nothing to do with the Wenche family.
Seeing the thoughtful look on his face, Harold cleared his throat.
"Of course! I will grant you full authority to represent me. We can be mutually beneficial in many things, right?" he said.
"——Go to the City Guard and get the truth back."
Wayne was speechless for a moment.
After a while, he asked softly: "The truth? If the final result is not so ideal, or may even cause chaos once it is announced, will you still pursue such a 'truth'?"
In the words Duke Elliot told him in the morning, he was obviously implying that he should not go to the bottom of the matter and that what others said was what he said.
Wayne believed that with Elliot's keen sense of smell, he must have noticed something inside before he specifically reminded him.
"Why not?" Harold asked.
"The progress in magic research comes precisely from the search for the truth."
As he spoke, he smiled. "Actually, there is a secret room in Qingxi Academy that only every academy chairman is eligible to enter."
Harold used an extremely understatement to tell what seemed to be an important secret.
"It contains many unique books and [truths] that are not allowed to be known to the outside world. If you agree to be my special envoy, I can make an exception and let you in." He tried hard to arouse Wayne's curiosity.
But more than any other thoughts, Wayne's first reaction was doubt.
"Will it be so easy for me to sneak into the secret room that only each chairman of the board can enter?"
He couldn't help but secretly curse, could he just create a random room to fool himself?
"What do you mean by this?" Harold was unhappy. "This is with my permission as the owner. Can you just walk in openly with the key? Just tell me whether you want to go or not!"
"Not going."
Wayne stood up, patted his butt, and prepared to leave. "I don't have any secrets that I particularly want to know."
But Harold had come prepared, and with just one sentence he stopped him in his tracks: "——Even if there are secrets about light magic and dark magic, don't you want to know?"
Wayne's outstretched leg could not fall back down.
…
City Guard Headquarters.
Bulwer was in a very anxious mood at this time.
He knew that he would offend many people by doing this, but now he had to stand on the opposite side of those people. Especially now that this case has become such a big mess in his hands, it is obviously a severe warning to himself.
While taking care of his tail, that person was also gently reminding him that everything in the City Guard was still under his control.
Bulwer now only hopes that Miss Echos will really reveal her true position to His Royal Highness Prince Richard...at least to make him understand that her heart has always been towards him, but she can't help it!
Richard sat at the top with an expressionless face, listening to the nonsense of the guards below.
Yes, he knows these people below are lying. Even now everyone here knows that this is just an extremely ridiculous lie.
But no one dared to expose it.
Even though everyone was talking, he couldn't hear a single voice coming from his heart.
"Where is the cell where Peggy was held before? Take me to see it." Richard closed his eyes and said slightly tiredly.
He was not familiar with this person named Peggy.
But on the one hand, he is his classmate; on the other hand, he was imprisoned at his own strong request.
——If you make a mistake, you should be punished.
There is certainly nothing wrong with this statement.
But the punishment I wanted him to accept was not to take away his life!
Is this a warning to myself to get to the bottom of this problem?
Richard clenched his fists.
"Uh... Your Highness Richard, the sanitary conditions in the prison are terrible. It is not a place for a person of high status like you to enter..." Bulwer struggled to find an excuse to refuse. "Besides, the door lock has been broken by the prisoner, and no other valuable clues have been left -"
Seeing Prince Richard's face getting more and more ugly, Bulwer complained in his heart.
He had never found this job so hard.
Probably because of his inner resentment and prayers, he finally received God's mercy. A guard suddenly entered the conference room, slightly easing the suffocating atmosphere around him.
"Your Highness Richard, Lord Bulwer! Your Excellency, the Chairman of Qingxi Academy, has sent a special representative and requested to participate in the investigation of the unprovoked death of a student in the city guard."
Before Bulwer could breathe a sigh of relief, he was put on the fire again.
"Wait a minute, what does 'died without cause in the city guard' mean?" As soon as he blurted out his words, he realized that it was useless to get angry at this guard who was just delivering a message.
Trying his best to suppress his irritable and restless emotions, Bulwer looked at the dominant Prince Richard beside him and hesitated to speak.
"Let him in," said Richard.
