Chapter 396 A Head
A while later, Matt and Alice watched as Sophia left the room after finishing telling them everything she wanted to.
Honestly, this thing she told him was something only the Student Leader should know, but Sophia wasn't going to leave Matt out of it because rather than following the rules set by the ancestors, she wanted them both to do something to avoid some issues regarding what she knew.
The three important things even mentioned something about the Final Test. Neither Matt nor Alice expected that, but it seemed that the Academy had more secrets than they both imagined.
Alice sighed once more. She didn't know how many times she had sighed that night anymore, but each time, something happened that made her sigh more. But this time, at the end of the sigh, there was a smile. "Sometimes I feel like my father has some ability to foresee the future," she said suddenly.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Matt asked, and Alice looked at him.
"You'll know soon enough. But I think my father is preparing for what Sophia feared, and that's why he's moving more than before. Sophia is someone who sees the future; it is possible that she has seen something about it, and that is why she is so worried.
Your next journey awaits at empire
So sometimes I feel like my Father has that ability too, but the secrets of the most powerful man in the world are something I'm not worthy to see, so I hope someday you can tell me, Matt." She replied, laughing a little.
Matt shrugged his shoulders. Neither of them touched on the subject Sophia had just mentioned to them.
Then, Emma and Isla entered the room once again.
This time, Emma got straight to the point. "Matthew, I originally came here to tell you a few things. But I think I'll keep it to myself for now; after all, I think I'll be seeing you before long. Still, I must say that I'm proud that I stepped aside at the time to allow you to get that rank. If you feel any gratitude to me for that, could you visit my grandfather?
He's wanted to meet you for a while now. Though if you don't go, he'll go to you, so it would make no difference."
"I'll go when I have time, Miss Emma. And if you have something to say, you can say it when you feel it's time."
"All right, Matthew. Next time, I look forward to talking to you. I bid you farewell." After saying this and with a military salute, Emma Lewis also left the room, leaving Matt, Isla, and Alice once again in it.
They didn't talk much more after that, either. They each went to sleep, for the next day they had to leave the Capital City.
.
Three days later.
The situation in the Dark Kingdom became heated, and discussions throughout the Kingdom revealed several important secrets of the Kingdom's high society.
The fact that there are people betraying the race within the high command is a danger to society and the race in general, but looking for and finding them is difficult, and the high command has not spoken out about it.
Honestly, Sophia's words stuck a thorn in the side of many people and made many others unable to move. Now, the traitors were more careful, and those who were not traitors could not come out and show their faces since they had not caught any of them.
Revealing the situation but not revealing any of the traitors was a dirty way of playing from the Murphys to turn the situation in the Kingdom. Considering that the Murphys have a lot of business in different fields, all this favors them as a Clan.
Moreover, the territory that was given to Sophia Murphy for control and development is one of the most able to exploit this kind of passive chaos, which they cannot easily control. So it was a masterful move on her part, and no one could do or say anything against her because what she revealed was not a lie.
That made everything slightly upsetting for many.
For others, nothing had changed since they didn't care about this.
And during the night of the third day after the Ceremony, Matt and Isla returned to the Academy.
Alice had to serve as Student Leader, so she met with various teachers at the usual meeting and did not return to them. Also, apparently, the Allens were preparing something important. However, somehow, the Kingdom was also preparing something more, and Matt and Isla were in on it, but no one said what it was.
So Matt and Isla went back to the Academy to settle in properly and then return to the Capital City.
But as soon as they got back, something happened.
Matt frowned just before entering his room.
"There was someone here," he said, looking at the floor, the walls, and subsequently the door.
Isla was surprised. "What?" she asked blankly.
"Someone was here. He opened the door and came in. Also, I smell blood inside the room." Matt opened the door after saying this, as he was curious about what was in there.
As soon as he opened it, the first thing that came to him was the sight of a head lying on the table with a frightened expression.
It had dripped blood enough to stain the entire table and even dripped to the floor.
When she saw it, Isla put a hand to her mouth. "Matt, it's him!" she said, and Matt nodded.
He stepped forward a little and frowned. 'They're moving faster than you can hide, Eliot.' He thought.
The head was Eliot Roberts.
'The fact that they put it here makes me think that someone was watching me that day. But there's no way. That time, I spread icy inscriptions all over the square to avoid that kind of situation. That was the reason why that man who was my fan couldn't recognize me. So no one could get past my senses.' Matt grabbed the head on the table.
'Only someone capable of seeing the future or destiny should be able to outsmart my senses... Sophia Murphy?'
