Surprise spread through the synthetic mana and fused with the faint tension that had fallen into the hall. The entire meeting area froze, and even Headmistress Holwen halted her steps.
Khan didn't know where to look, but Jack's eyes were great candidates. Still, his attention was on the entirety of the hall, and answers became clear in seconds as he listened to the symphony while adding what he had heard before.
It didn't take a genius to understand who Princess Edna was. Her title, the Headmistress' prompt reaction, and the silence that had fallen on the hall said enough. Khan couldn't even hear the usual whispers. The representatives and members of wealthy families didn't dare to utter a word. Princess Edna had to belong to a noble family.
