Chapter 33: Tough Fight
While Cyril's group was exploring the complex hallways of the underground, the rest of the students found an empty laboratory and hid there.
The injured stayed mostly quiet; even Bonzo, they were all trying to recover in peace in the back of the room.
Not to disturb them, everyone else moved closer to the exit.
At this moment, Cedric was outside the room, busy with what he called 'guarding the base'.
Edmund sat on a chair without any expression on his face. From time to time he peeked at Regina standing near the door with her eyes closed.
"What's wrong?" Suddenly she opened them, catching his stare.
"Nothing, it's just... I thought you were the type to go with Cyril and explore." In a startle, he turned away.
Hearing his words, Regina went silent for a few seconds before saying in a sharp tone, "Am I interfering with something?" She kept staring at his face with scrutiny.
"Why are you always like this?" Edmund whispered with annoyance and ignored her question.
Regina stared at him for a few more seconds before turning away and suddenly asking a question to a different person.
"Your Highness, have you ever met Edmund Morley before?" She said it with respect.
