Aldrich spent the remaining day with Aria and Carl, exploring various parts of the campus.
"So, how is Andre?" he asked Aria, whose face suddenly changed expressions.
"He is alive; the healers said that one more attack and he would have died; he will need time to recover", she said.
"So, how do we handle Crom Family's Head?" Carl asked. Aldrich and Aria had informed him about Aria's situation, as they knew that the Crom family wouldn't sit still after what happened to Andre.
"The Family Head cannot come directly till the time you are a part of the academy", Aldrich said. This rule was created by the past Emperor to prevent noble families from directly exerting pressure on students. "But he has various connections who can do the job for him. We need to be careful." Aldrich knew that Andre might recognize his swords anytime soon and would also come after him.
