Chapter 27: ANYTHING HAPPENED?
Quad Academy – Principal's Office
Clinton stood tall in front of the heavy oak desk, his expression calm, almost too calm for someone who had just killed a noble in broad daylight.
Principal Owen leaned forward, his voice stern and sharp.
"Clinton, why did you do that? Why did you kill a noble—openly—without hesitation? Just because you're of royal blood doesn't mean you can go around killing people!"
But instead of fear or guilt, Clinton simply stood there, steady and silent.
And strangely... he liked what he was hearing.
If Owen had been just another cowardly noble, willing to overlook anything because of Clinton's title, he might've lost all hope in this world. But this... this was different. The principal had integrity. That alone eased something in Clinton's heart.
Then he spoke, voice deep and solemn.
"Principal Owen... I'm truly sorry for what I did."
He bowed his head slightly.
"I didn't mean to kill him like that... but when I saw what was happening—he was beating a commoner family. In broad daylight. No one was doing anything. Not the guards, not the bystanders. Nothing."
