"I think it's a love triangle... No, wait a minute, this is not a love triangle. Edward doesn't return the love that Margaret has for him. Don't you think so?"
Alexander looked at Sylvia who was walking in front of him
Sylvia decided that not responding and pretending that she did not hear him was the best option
Alexander started gossiping about the love triangle and kept mentioning Edward and Rustin's names all the time
Sylvia didn't understand anything, so she decided to give up trying to keep up with him in this conversation
"Well, they are four people. Is this considered a love square? This is the first time I have seen such a phenomenon. What do you think?" Alexander took big steps to be next to Sylvia and looked at her, waiting for her opinion
"..." I think you have more important things to worry about
Sylvia increased her speed in order to reach the Academy Council as quickly as possible to get rid of this talkative boy
She sighed in relief after making it to the Academy Council before she got mad at Alexander's chatter
"They are waiting for you..." Sylvia pointed to the giant door
Alexander moved towards the door with steady steps, but he stopped directly in front of the door and turned to Sylvia. He wanted to say something, but in the end he gave up and entered.
"..." Sylvia stared at his back strangely
Why change Alexander like this? She did not understand how the quiet boy turned into such a person who was haunted by problems

Alexander entered the Academy Council hall
He stood directly in front of the semicircular table and wanted to greet the instructors, but his face froze when he saw Frederic. " principal Frederic, When did you return to the academy?!"
"That's right, you seem surprised." Frederic rubbed his mustache
Alexander's face darkened and he forced himself to smile. "No...I'm just happy to see you. I was praying that you would return safely to the academy."
"..." But your expression says otherwise
Frederic wanted to mock Alexander's words, but he remembered that he had to keep his cold expression in order to maintain the serious atmosphere he was trying to create. "I heard that you have turned the academy into your own factory. It seems that you have been enjoying your time in my absence."
" this-"
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.
Baaam!
Frederic hit the table hard
"This nonsense will stop right now."
"But I do it for the benefit of the students and for a better future for them."
"..." But what is happening currently is only for your benefit
The instructors were speechless by Alexander's excuse
Alexander's expression became calm and he began to explain to them. "I will train the students in skills that will benefit them after graduation. All I will do is show them how cruel this world can be, and in this case they will not be shocked because the information they learned in the academy will not be of use to them in practical life..."
The instructors looked at each other
As usual, Alexander's words made sense
But this time they wouldn't let it slide even if his words made sense
They gradually begin to realize the pattern that Alexander uses to get what he wants
He twists the facts using sentences that may seem logical in order to achieve his goal
They initially decided to ignore this because he was from the Ford family and none of them would dare challenge such a super family
But now Alexander's behavior began to get out of control and this affected the students
They cannot prevent students from participating in this because this is considered an activity outside of official school hours
This is students' free time and they have the right to do whatever they want
However, as the elite and the future of the empire, they are supposed to be training and studying, not making some questionable sweets.
"All activities related to making these sweets will be stopped." Frederic said in an unquestioning tone
"You're going to ruin my project..." Alexander shouted miserably
"Well..." Frederic couldn't help but snicker. "I want to teach you how cruel this world can be, so you will not be shocked when your dreams are shattered and your projects fail."
"Koh…" Alexander took a step back once his words were used against him
"I don't think that's enough..." Frederic fell into deep thought for a moment, then returned his eyes to Alexander. "You will be expelled from the Home Economics Club and banned from cooking for the duration of your academic studies."
"You can't do this..." Alexander began to feel like he was losing control of what was happening. He did not expect Frederic to take such harsh measures.
There was a gloating smile on Frederic's face. "I'm the boss here and I can do whatever I want."
Frederic's smile said, 'There's nothing you can do.'
Alexander closed his eyes for a second, then raised his head, took a deep breath and exhaled
It seemed like the beginning of the end, he expected such things to happen even though he prayed that he would have more time to make more money
Frederic stared at Alexander's resigned face
He nodded when he noticed that Alexander did not object to any of these decisions
It's a bit harsh, but people like Alexander will go further if they are not stopped
"And there—" Frederic stopped when his phone rang
Frederic took out the phone and placed it near his ear. " Yes...?"
Frederic raised an eyebrow. "Oh, Macron, this is the first time you have called me."
Frederic's expression changed dramatically. "What are you talking about? What does this have to do with sweets?"
After a full minute, Frederic hung up and looked at Alexander with great concern
Alexander felt that something really bad had happened
--------------------
The Imperial Palace
The Emperor met with ministers and heads of noble families
None of them expected to meet again just two days after their first meeting, because most of them had already returned to their homes, some of which were located in areas far from the capital, but circumstances made it necessary because of the new news they had received
The den where the members of the Bloody Crescent Organization were hiding has been discovered
They could only applaud the exceptional skill and ability of the intelligence agents, but then they learned that the existence of this den had been discovered by chance by two agents who were investigating a completely different case.
According to preliminary information, one of the accused was arrested by two intelligence agents, Kelly and Jeff, who were tasked with discovering the danger of the secret ingredient used in Ford's Sweets to the health of consumers.
"..." At first none of them understood what the connection was between the Bloody Crescent and Ford's Sweets
Do the members of Bloody Crescent like to bake sweets in their free time or something
But the fog cleared after Old Walter presented the intelligence report to the council
It seems that there was a man named Winston Hitler who lived in Cairn city, and this old man taught Alexander how to make the sweets that he currently sells.
After the agents went to investigate him, it became clear that the man was not present in his home, and instead they found three members of the Bloody Crescent organization, one of whom possessed the plasmad and had used it on himself, which caused his death due to his inability to control his raging powers.
Fortunately, one of those involved in this case miraculously survived the firestorm and Jeff was able to arrest him. The intelligence then interrogated the person who was arrested after his burns were treated
They obtained a lot of information from him, and this information included that the man whose name was Winston Hitler was hiding under an alias (Old Patterson).
Although they could not confirm this, it seems that Winston Hitler took advantage of this to get closer to Alexander Ford for an unknown purpose.
When Walter finished his report, everyone's eyes turned to Theodore
There was worry and blame in their looks and they were all thinking about one thing
"..." How on earth could you allow such a suspicious man to get close to your son?
