Chapter 24: Sudden arrival(2)
Morkel knew something was wrong when he reached the academy this morning, and it did not take more than half a minute for him to discern the whole thing—thanks to his information sources.
It seems the Prince has finally found the use of that thing that resides between his ears. Until now, he has been so simple-minded and idiotic at times that Morkel never thought that Austin would plot so cunningly against Parkinson.
Why wasn’t Morkel not believing Austin? Was it because he was close to Parkinson or because he hated Austin? None. It was because he knew Parkinson wouldn’t take such a major step with so many traces left behind.
Morkel knows Parkinson’s style; he kills on the spot rather than dragging his prey to his house where he could get easily caught. Morkel was closely aware of everything and everyone that surrounds Rhea, so naturally, he discerned that Parkinson didn’t abduct the Prince, rather, the blond bastard set this whole thing up.
However, considering the Prince took this major step which could get him expelled easily if caught, Morkel knew that Austin wouldn’t have done half-hearted work.
The bespectacled Professor knew that if things didn’t work out, quite well, he had to keep a Plan B to ensure Parkinson’s safety. After all, there were still things that Parkinson needed to do for Morkel.

“Your Highness, Aiden!” Morkel beamed as he spotted the silver head standing in the common hall along with the Prime Minister.
Philius’ eyes momentarily narrowed before he greeted, “Minister Abel. Your Highness Aiden. It’s nice to see you in good health.”
The long silver-haired man smiled at the older one before saying, “You look the same as ever; must be regular exercise and a strict diet.”
The friendliness in his tone wasn’t enough for Philius to put his guard down, “You praise me too much, Your Highness.”
Turning toward the two alternatively, he asked, “So what could be the reason for your sudden arrival?”
“Don’t be sly with me, Headmaster, I am quite aware of what treatment my nephew has been facing recently.”
Hearing that tone, Philius dropped the act and told him, “Then you must be aware of the crime which your precious nephew has committed, I suppose?”
The atmosphere around the two significantly dropped as Abel kept his condensing gaze fixated on the grey-haired individual.
Aiden stepped in and dissipated the tension, “Now, now, we all are adults here so let us talk over things rather than partaking in anything impulsively.”
Hearing Aiden’s words Abel scoffed and told the Headmaster, “You cannot punish my nephew here. His hearin-”
