"There's a problem" Lazeth burst through the door, gasping for air as she rushed back into the building.
Lucia turned to her. "What happened?"
"It's the royal family," she reported between gasps. "They're here for a surprise visit. They just ran into the others... and now they know about the challenge."
Lucia's eyes narrowed, her lips twitching into a faint smirk. "And?"
"They want to watch it," Lazeth continued, her voice shaking slightly. "And the queen is displeased that you just appointed a vice principal without her knowledge."
"Why are you so afraid of a family who only have wealth and legacy to their name?" Lucia sneered in contempt.
"Does that cunning queen really think I need to report her everything?" Her smile grew wider, cold and full of arrogance "Fine, let them watch. This will make things even more interesting."
"But—"
"Enough," Lucia cut her off. "If they want to see what he can do, then so be it."
