Chapter 27: Scheme
"Nice work, Ronald. I never thought you could do things like that."
Prince Liam complemented the blue-eyed blonde-haired young man sitting opposite to him in his loft inside the academy.
"It is an honor to serve you, your Highness. I, Ronald Morgan, would be prouder and prouder the more you rely on me. I always know my way around problems." Replied Ronald in complete cockiness despite his humble words.
"And you are smart. Let’s not forget that. Sadly, you hang around us less than you should." The Prince boosted Ronald’s image in front of the others.
"I terribly apologize since I am always lost in my studies, your Highness. But House Morgan is forever loyal and knows how to handle any trouble for the future of Great Elgard." Ronald said while glancing at Edmond Black, Ian Grayson, and Richard Marshall, who were all standing by.
The Morgans, quite the dreadful family. As one of the four founding clans of Elgard —along with the Blacks and the Graysons—, the Royal House of Harland has always valued the counsel and wisdom of the Morgans more than anyone else. Still, the Morgans may be more powerful than the Blacks and the Graysons combined.
They are the private tutors of the Royal Family and the House of Magic and Oracles. Their wisdom is recorded through the annals of Elgard as the advocates of the nation against the unfathomable evils and arcane powers.
The Harlands sit on the Throne (Rulers), the Graysons stand on the Right to the Throne (Advisors), the Blacks sit on the Left (Intelligence), while the Morgans stand behind it at its shoulder (Wizards). The remaining ones are the Marshalls (Military), the Moores (Industry), and the De Clares (Commerce) who carry the thrones on their backs.
This is how this whole Great Elgard was portrayed.
The meaning of this is that on top of being a founding house, House Morgan’s value outweighs many just by the importance of their work. In addition to their profession in Magic, they manage the educational institutes of Elgard.
This influence is what gave Ronald Morgan the ability to influence the inner workings of the academy to some extent. Something that even the Crown Prince can’t achieve and through it, he made some changes on Vivian’s student files.
