Chapter 292: If it means protecting her
"So, who has been bothering my brother-in-law?" Magnus asked again, his tone demanding a clear answer.
"Your Highness, it’s no longer an issue. It happened–"
"Not long ago," Magnus interjected, his piercing gaze fixating at him. "Use the privilege you have, Elliot," he asserted. "Do you want me to have Mrs. Kline summon everyone to the academy grounds?" He arched his eyebrows, a subtle threat in his expression.
Elliot shook his head quickly. "It was the senior trainees, Your Highness. They were giving me a hard time because my sister is married to you," he explained, his voice faltering slightly.
"Hmm. Then it’s time for them to be punished," Magnus said with a smirk. He headed straight to the office of the Head of the Vampire Academy.
Mrs. Kline was engrossed in some documents when the door opened, and Magnus strode in. She immediately rose from her seat, a look of surprise crossing her face. "Your Highness, you should have summoned me instead," she said, quickly regaining her composure.
"It’s fine. Please, take your seat," Magnus replied, gesturing for her to sit as he settled into a chair. "My brother-in-law has encountered some troubles here. I believe I made it clear through Griffin that Elliot should not be mistreated," he affirmed, his jaw clenching with barely contained anger.
Mrs. Kline looked between Magnus and Elliot, concern etching her features. "Who bothered you, Elliot? Why didn’t you ever tell me about this?" she asked.
"Some senior trainees, Madam," Elliot replied quietly, his gaze shifting to the floor.
