Meanwhile, Luke and the other students went back to school. They all sat in one classroom, and they all stared at Belle Rose's seat. They knew that Belle Rose was not coming back, and they noticed that Fatima was not at school either. Mrs Vary walked into the classroom, and she spoke.
"Fatima is staying at Mrs Sprocket's house until Belle Rose's parents had calmed down and the police will come here. To question you, one by one as they want to hear from your point of view and your parents are allowed to be in the room with you while you are being questioned. Luke, as you are the one who stabbed Belle Rose while you were trying to stab Prince Willem. You will go first, and everyone else will go in alphabet order after you. You have to be careful as Belle Rose's parents want to be in the same as you, but we haven't been told if that is the case or not."
Ruby stared at Luke, and she hoped that Luke could tell the truth to the police officers. Back at Mrs Sprocket's house, she knelt next to Fatima, and she spoke as Fatima wiped the tears away from her face. "Mr Godwin is allowing you to stay here until you are ready to go back to school, and you will be questioned at school by the police. I received a text from Mrs Vary, and she told me that as well as your parents are going to be in the room with you."
Fatima knew that she had to be extra careful not to mention Belle Rose or Hohenzollern Castle, and she hoped that the police officer doesn't say Hohenzollern Castle as well.
The students tried to learn; unfortunately, they couldn't as they were worried about Belle Rose. They were allowed to return home as Mr Godwin let them go home early than usual, and they stayed with their parents as they wanted to feel secure. Luke blamed himself for having a knife around with him when he went to Hohenzollern Castle, stabbed Belle Rose, and tried to stab Prince Willem. Luke went to his bedroom as he tried to have time on his own, and Hannah knew that Luke was blaming himself for causing the trouble.
The following day, they went to school and placed flowers on Belle Rose's table. Rocket strode into the classroom with his partner, and the student sat down at the tables. Rocket scanned the whole room, and he spoke. "I know that you understand why we are here, and we are going to question you, one at a time. Luke, I am afraid that we have to start with you and we will do it in alphabet order after you. You can leave your things in this classroom as we take you to another classroom and all your parents are here. They are waiting for their turn, and you are allowed to come back here."
Luke stood up as he left his belongings behind and left the classroom with the police officers. Luke's parents, Evan and Hannah, waited with the other students' parents. Apart from Paris, Ava, Blake and Ella. Evan and Hannah saw Luke strolling towards them with the two police officers. They walked into the classroom, and Luke sat at a table with his parents on either side of him.
Hannah held his left hand as she gave him reassuring, and he looked at Rocket. Rocket took his notepad out, and he questioned. "How did you get that knife, and who gave it to you?" Luke took a deep breath, and he replied. "I snatched it from my home without my parents knowing that I was going to stab someone with it, and I wrapped it up with some towels. No one gave it to me as I hid it from my parents' view, and I came up with a plan by myself."
Rocket stared at Luke, and he questioned. "What was your plan?" Luke knew that he had to give himself up, and he spoke. "I planned to stab Prince Willem and Ayers. Then ask Belle Rose's parents if I can have their daughter's hand in marriage and have Belle Rose as my wife. But I realized that I was going to be arrested for murder, and I knew that Belle Rose doesn't want to be married to a murder."
Rocket's partner, James, looked at Luke, and he asked. "Did you know what was going on with Belle Rose's parents, Ayers and Belle Rose?" Luke nodded his head, and he responded. "Yes, I did know because I overheard Belle Rose talking to Mrs Sprocket about what was going on, and I felt sorry for Belle Rose."
"But I didn't know that Mrs Gloria and Mr Alvin is related to Belle Rose at all until Mr Alvin announced it to everyone on the coach before we got off." Rocket knew that Luke was telling the truth, and he queried. "But how did you manage to have the knife on you three days ago while you were at the castle? My partner and I have already informed your parents that we are being careful just in case Belle Rose's parents hear where Belle Rose is at."
Luke knew that Rocket was telling the truth, and he answered. "I hid the knife before breakfast, and I didn't tell any other student what I was planning to do. I placed it in my backpack, and I waited for the perfect moment. I hide in my back trouser pocket, and I cove it up with my t-shirt."
Rocket wrote what Luke said, and he questioned. "But your plan didn't work at all, did it, and did you expect that Belle Rose was going to stand in front of Prince Willem?" Luke shook his head, and he responded. "No, it didn't work at all, and I didn't expect that Belle Rose was going to stand in front of Prince Willem. I 100% froze after I realized that I stabbed Belle Rose, and I was blown away when she stood in front of Prince Willem."
