The Academy's Strongest Undercover Professor

Chapter 95 - Giving the Message to the Emperor

[This chapter will be in 3rd POV because I thought it was more fitting for the upcoming scene. I'm sorry if it causes confusion.]

A few days later, in the Emperor's castle.

Alexandra had just come back from the ancient tribe's village and the meeting she had with Caedrel, and her first stop was the Emperor's castle. She had to tell him about the message that Caedrel had given her.

She walked through the castle, panting from exhaustion. She hadn't stopped running since she had seen that gaze from Caedrel. She had felt like she was about to die for the very first time in her life.

Everyone watched her as she ran within the Emperor's castle, with the maids and servants all frowning.

"Was that Miss Alexandra?"

"I think so. Did you see how exhausted she was?"

"Yes, she was even running inside the castle. Something important must have happened outside."

"Do you think it's related to that man?"

"Possibly. Who knows? However, it's surely confidential information that we will never hear, even if we asked for it."

The maid and the servant agreed with that last comment, knowing they would never get the details of such a situation, nor did they care to.

Alexandra didn't hear a word of what they said as she kept running forward, her head growing dizzier by the second. She finally arrived before the Emperor's private room.

"J-James... it's me, Alexandra!"

She knocked on the door as hard as she could three times.

"O-Open the door. I have important news about Caedrel. He has a message for you."

As soon as she uttered Caedrel's name, the door swung open for her, letting her right in.

"I-I..."

The words were stuck in her throat.

"I've told you plenty of times that you needed to be careful around Caedrel. He is NOT someone we can afford to anger. You do not know a single thing about him, but just know that all his enemies in the war have died one way or another. There is a reason that nothing is known about him publicly. Argh, to think you would be so foolish and cause him to become our enemy..."

The Emperor just shook his head, annoyed.

"Is he still trying to capture that Zero or whoever that person was in the Snowy Mountains?"

She shook her head. "He is going through some kind of training. He didn't give me any details."

Alexandra gulped as the Emperor glared at her in silence, clearly waiting for something.

"I'm still waiting. Tell me how and why you angered Caedrel. Depending on the reason, I will make a decision regarding our relationship."

Alexandra knew the gaze the Emperor currently had on his face. It was the look of a leader who would do anything for the greater good, even if it meant killing his closest friends.

"I-I asked one of his students to spy on him and give me information about his actions. When I learned that he was training in seclusion, I decided to see in person why he was doing such a thing. However, when I arrived, he became extremely mad at me and gave me the message I just delivered to you."

The Emperor wasn't certain if Alexandra was telling the whole truth about the situation since there was a chance she was trying to protect herself from the consequences.

"Do you know where Caedrel is, and can you still contact that student of yours?"

Alexandra nodded.

"Then, contact Caedrel by all means possible and tell him that I want to have a discussion with him."

Alexandra just gulped as she nodded, pretending to agree. She couldn't let the Emperor meet with Caedrel, or else, she would be exposed for all her lies.

That's why, she wouldn't contact anyone anytime soon.
