But while everyone was looking at Robin with utter confusion, as no one had expected him to say anything in this matter, Ryan snapped back at him with the same tone and turned towards the Principal before continuing his statement.
"As I was saying, everything can be made possible, regarding Nora staying in the school premises. As far as the question of the dormitory is concerned, we all know that it does not take more than six months for the planning and construction of any dormitory. According to the parameter of distance as well, my pack is the closest to the school, and I am okay with staying in the boys dorm as well! So I am ready to go home for now, till everything regarding my stay in the boys dorm is finalized in an official capacity, and Nora can have my Alpha palace."
After completing his statement, he looked at Nora, who was looking at him with teary eyes.

'Could there be somebody other than Myron or Robin, who is also willing to stand in my favour? And are they genuinely willing to help me?'
The questions appeared in Nora's mind one after another, as she started to question everything that had happened to her after she had stepped foot in this school. With a flash of awakening, she realised that this was not the first time that he had shown his willingness to help her. In fact, he was there for her from the very beginning, and just like he had saved her from David on the first day, today, he had also taken her to her father.
'But why is he doing all this for me, when I haven't even given him the identification of a friend from my side!'
She had taken a dive into her thoughts once again, when her attention was pulled by Alpha Carl's voice breaking the layer of tense and expectant silence.
"Yes! I totally agree with the words of my son! Look what a brilliant idea that is, because in any case, he was supposed to take leave for a week in order to accompany his mother on her foreign trip. After his return, he will continue to live in the boys dorm. And anyway, by the time he will be back, it will be time for the archery arithmetic competition! Anyhow, even now- a- days, he has to spend most of his time in the dorms itself, to teach the students and prepare them for the competition! So I think you should agree to this arrangement, and in case you are thinking about denying this proposal from my son, then I would like to remind you that you have already rejected one proposal from Nora's side. And look now, what are the drawbacks related to this.
I have faith in your intelligence, because of which I think that you are going to accept his offer and make the necessary arrangements -"
Before Carl could take his intimidated silence as yes, the Principal finally blurted out ;
"But Alpha, I can't take any decision regarding this… not till all the Alphas are present here-"
"Oh, come on! The three Alphas are already present here, and as for the Matthews, I am quite sure that they have the least of their interests in this topic! However, if they were to see an Alpha being treated this way, then I am sure they would also agree to this solution.
I, for one, always advocate for peace - so I would like to leave this matter to you, but in the end, don't blame me for not having warned you."
It was Fransisco who had spoken this time, shutting down Mark's objection, which he considered baseless and time- consuming. Right now, it did not matter to him that he had initially been against the idea of accepting the offer of help from Carl or Ryan. After seeing the scared demeanor of Nora and witnessing the anxious state of his own son, he was ready to do anything that had the potential to tame this situation.
And as intended, his statement did work like a charm! The principal abruptly did a one eighty degree flip, and spoke after clearing his throat;
"Yes! This is what I was going to say , because I myself liked Ryan's proposal so much! I will issue an order regarding the necessary paperwork right this moment, and arrange for someone to vacate the palace for Nora."
He was about to step back towards his office after a messed up attempt to align his priorities with the favourable side, when Ryan called out ;
"We got it, Princi! You are going to issue the notice regarding the same! Go and happily do that, but the factor where you don't need to worry is about vacating the palace for Nora! Don't bother with that, I have already arranged everything Accordingly. So just go and issue the notice as quickly as you can, and leave the rest to me."
Ryan turned towards Frederick with a smile and spoke;
"Uncle, I guess it is already too late for the two of you to stay there. I would request you and uncle Francisco to head back; and don't worry about Nora, I will help her with settling down completely. And only after taking a note about her comfort would I be leaving for my house."
"It's okay, Ryan! I trust you, but still I want some time alone with my daughter. She is going to be staying away from her house for the first time in her life, and she has had to go through too many things on her first day itself."
"Of course, uncle, as you wish. I will be waiting for you in the lobby that leads to my palace."
Saying this, Ryan started to walk in the direction of Alpha palaces, while the other people standing there also started to move one by one. The last person to leave the father and daughter alone was Robin, who was not fully assured with what had just taken place, despite things falling perfectly in his favour. He was hanging around till he had no further excuse to, wanting and trying to to find a loose end which he could tug in order to find out the entire story. While he was thinking this, he saw Louis standing in front of his father, in the process of confronting him about how and why he had supported Ryan and his proposal.
