Chapter 365: The Mo Li who Hated her
“You — Did you harm them?”
“Sir, are you insinuating that I harmed three upperclassmen and did not leave any traces of this crime?”
Silence followed her question.
Last night, she already knew that these people would try to use this incident to ask the king to change his decree and deemed her dangerous to join the other students.
Headmistress Mo didn’t want to get involved in this scheme and told them she wouldn’t support them. However, she isn’t going to stop them either.
Until now, Anna couldn’t understand this woman’s motive.
For some reason, Headmistress Mo insisted she only worked for the King and serve only him. However, she isn’t planning to stop anyone from bullying or hurting Anna either.
Clearly, she just wanted to use a borrowed knife to deal with Anna.
This woman is smart, Anna noted inwardly.
Headmistress Mo.
Now that she thought about it, Headmistress Mo might be just as worse as those adults who wanted to gang up on an eighteen-year-old teenager.
“Miss Matthews, he was only concern — “
“Headmistress Mo…” Anna interrupted the woman. “Are you trying to say that I, someone who never trained inside this academy before, could single-handedly defeat three seniors?”
That made the woman’s face ugly.
“Are you saying that the students here… are that weak?”
“Miss Matthews! Watch your— “
“Are you saying that an uneducated one like me could defeat your students?” she snorted. “Maybe… you should tell his majesty about this Headmistress Mo. It wouldn’t be good to breed… weak Lycans. After all, they are going to fight against the dark ones. Being weak is a crime when your life is at stake.”
“That— “
Anna smirked inwardly. When it comes to reasoning, these people were nothing compared to her.
“Are you looking down on the Royal Academy, Miss Matthew?” someone asked. “It’s considered treason…”
“No sir. On the contrary, the people who are asking me about this nonsense are the ones looking down on the Academy. Shouldn’t we report this to his majesty?”
Another reason she was exceptionally sharp tongue today is because of the King.
Last night, she heard the King would watch today’s ‘investigation’.
She wasn’t too sure about the method that he was going to used to watch, but if he was indeed watching this, Anna wanted to give the man a good show.
“Let’s end this meeting now.” Headmistress Mo had a dark look on her face. “It’s clear that you are not capable of killing them. Moreover, it was proven that there were no traces of Lycan blood on your clothes. There’s no way that you could have caused this.”
“You should look into the dark ones, Headmistress,” Anna said. “I heard… they were really ruthless. You know… they are the types that would never leave traces.” Again, she sent a smile toward Alpha Urchaid. She didn’t hide the provocation in her voice as she said, “No Blood… No Body… No Evidence.”
“Dark ones…” Headmistress Mo gave her a meaningful gaze. “I will look into the matter. You can leave now.”
Seeing everyone’s morose expression, Anna smiled. “Then… thank you so much for everything, headmistress. I will leave first.”
When she walked out of the office, she immediately heard yelling inside.
Those people… are rotten.
How could they actually hate her just because she was her father’s daughter?
Stupid.
“You killed them… didn’t you?”
Anna flinched when she heard Mo Li’s voice.
She looked up and saw him sitting on the tree.
“I know you did it.” Mo Li added.
Again, he was holding an apple in his hand.
“If you want to talk, come down,” Anna uttered. “Neck hurts.” With that, she continued walking.
“Or you can come up here.”
“I don’t want to talk to you.” She muttered. While she was already a few meters away, she was sure that he could still hear him. Just as she could hear him.
“Or we talk like this.”
“I have no reason to talk to you.”
“You do.”
“…” She rolled her eyes inwardly.
“I have details about Shadow pack.”
That made her freeze. She turned around and without saying anything, started climbing on the tree.
“That was quick,” Mo Li said. Despite his praise, there was no mirth in his tone. Even his face looked dark as ever. Just what the hell is wrong with him?
“You don’t like me,” she stated.
“Your father killed mine.”
“…” That was surprising.
“Did you think I would like you?”
“No.”
“Good. At least you are a little smart.”
“What do you know about the Shadow Pack?” She decided to get directly to the point.
“Your father… is supporting Gerrard.”
“The Prince?” It looked like what Prince Asahel said was true. Mo Li was friends with the Second Prince Gerrard.
In response, she shrugged. “As you know, the King is pushing the first prince to inherit the throne. He wanted your father to support Asahel.”
“Are you saying that…”
“No. The King isn’t stupid enough… to king your father.”
If it’s not the King then…
“You should look into the people who wanted to weaken the second prince.”
Anna squinted. Was it Asahel’s mother?
The King had two wives. One was called Queen Luna, while the other was called Queen Mistress. As the name suggested, Queen mistress was… A mistress.
They weren’t actually legally married and most Lycan does not acknowledge the Queen Mistress. She isn’t as powerful as the Luna too. The only thing that made her influential was actually the fact that she gave birth first.
She was Asahel’s mother.
A few months after she gave birth, Luna became pregnant and gave birth to the Second Prince.
By law, the son of the Luna is the next King.
However, he is not the firstborn this time.
The King, on the other hand, wasn’t showing any favoritism between his sons. He seemed oblivious to the power struggle, too.
Was that really the case, though?
“What?” Mo Li asked when he caught her staring at him. “Stop staring at me, it’s irritating.”
“Why’re you helping me?” This man was extremely suspicious. Was he trying to use her to fight against Asahel?
