"What did you just say?" Crown Prince Lail could not believe his ears.
"The dean of the academy, did what?" Barely suppressing his boiling emotions, he repeated his question in a dangerously low tone.
The elder wasn't deaf to the hidden anger. He had gone through his own share of adventuring and experiencing the world. As such, he immediately realized what was going on and instantly regretted opening his mouth.
'It seems the dean has not informed the young man of his decision yet.'
He felt stuck between a rock and a hard wall. How was he going to escape this incident unscathed?
As he pondered about his future, the young man's growl entered his ears again.
"Elder!'
This time, however, the cold tone was more than enough to spur him on.
"Little friend Lail, do not take this the hard way. Actually, the dean is only worried for you. That is why he is thinking about your future. Look at junior Murong. She is smart, gentle, beautiful, and talented. In the entire academy, you will not find a girl that will match you better."
Even if the beans were spilled, the elder didn't want to be held accountable. So, he tried his best to smooth over the matter and indirectly direct Crown Prince Lail's feelings.
Murong Ling, standing behind the Crown Prince, was trembling in fear.
His strong reaction and barely concealed rage at the news of their engagement deeply frightened her. Because from that reaction, she could sense how strongly adverse he was to the idea of their union.
'But why? What am I lacking that he isn't interested in me? Surely, it couldn't be because of the fact that he is the Crown Prince of the Amayan Empire, could it?'
Her mind span with many speculations as she tried to come up with an acceptable reason to his rejection. She wouldn't believe it if the reason was said to be her in general. Because in her eyes, she felt that she lacked nothing and was more than a perfect fit for him.
"Little friend Lail..."
In her daze, she heard the elder's call again. She vigorously shook her head and rapidly blinked her eyes, forcing the surging tears back. By the time she collected herself together, all she saw was his departing back.
"Brother Lail!" Surprised, she yelled and ran after him.
Crown Prince Lail walked out of the Missions Hall in a daze. He still could not believe what he heard.
'The dean picked you as his apprentice's prospective groom.'
The words repeatedly echoed in his head, and rage, unlike any he had ever experienced before, unfurled in his heart.
With clenched fists and trembling body, he headed directly towards the Main Hall.
At this moment, inside the Main Hall, many female students were gathered outside the dean's office, shouting and hurling questions.
"Dean, is it true that you are engaging Sister Murong with Brother Lail?"
"How can you do that, dean? Have you asked for Brother Lail's opinion?"
"Dean, the entire Mistland Academy is aware of Sister Murong's interest in Brother Lail. But Brother Lail has never once reciprocated her feelings. Aren't you doing injustice to Brother Lail by forcing this engagement onto him?"
"Yes, dean! This is an injustice and we cannot stand for it!"
The females were unafraid of the academy head, unrestrainedly crying out for justice on the Crown Prince's behalf. They were both envious and jealous at the thought of their prince charming becoming committed to their secretly disliked person.
Among this group of females were Su Rui and Mina, the two girls that instantly took a liking to Crown Prince Lail on the day he went to choose a magical weapon from the Weapons Hall.
"Mina, can you believe that the dean is planning to get his disciple married to Brother Lail? On what grounds and what right? He is not even Brother Lail's master. Just because he is the Headmaster of the academy, it doesn't mean that he can do whatever he wants." Su Rui was fuming with anger, as if the person wronged was herself.
In a way, it was.
The person she hated the most was being engaged to the guy she secretly admired. If this wasn't wronging her, then what was?
"Even then, he is still the dean. We shouldn't be blaming his office door like this. What if we get expelled for our behavior?" Mina was unassertive by nature. Even if she felt wronged by an act of another person, she never dared to express her feelings openly.
However, her best friend just happened to be someone that was the complete opposite of herself.
"So what? If we get expelled, then we get expelled! But I will not take this laying down. Murong Ling cannot become the fiancé of Brother Lail! Never ever!" A fierce light flashed through her eyes as she clenched her fist and gritted the words out.
At this instant, Crown Prince Lail appeared in the Main Hall's corridor. Instantly, many female apprentices standing in the back screamed in joy and excitement.
"Brother Lail!"
"Look, it's Bother Lail!"
"Brother Lail!" Murong Ling, who was still chasing after him, grievously called out his name again.
"Ugh! It's Murong Ling. Why is she here?"
"She is chasing after Brother Lail. Did they get into an argument?"
"Hey! Do you think Brother Lail came to know about the dean's decision to get them engaged? Is that why he is here?"
"That just might be it! Hahaha...Brother Lail is definitely not interested in Murong Ling. After finding out about the engagement, he might be here to question the dean. That's probably why Murong Ling looks so anxious!"
"Oh this is great! Let's go and join in the fun!"
The females were in a buzz as they spread out and made way for Crown Prince Lail. Even after Murong Ling passed by them to follow after his figure, they did not react. Their eyes just shinned brightly as they watched their backs.
They were in a good mood to watch a good show.
Crown Prince Lail coldly walked past the milling females, oblivious to their smiles of joy.
Reaching the dean's door, he didn't bother with any niceties and just harshly slammed it with his foot.
Bang!
The resounding bang was so loud that the excited females were shocked into silence.
The hinges broke off and the door flew right into the room, in the face of a stunned white haired elder.
From his usual indifference to the girl, they anticipated the Crown Prince's anger at the sudden engagement arrangement. However, they never expected his reaction to be so fiercely strong and frightening.
They held onto one another as they huddled together in fear.
"Brother Lail is truly enraged. He is the most refined and dignified magician in the entire academy. Before today, I have never seen him so enraged."
"Me too. The aura coming off his figure is so cold and harsh, I feel scared of even looking at him."
"Hehehe...Murong Ling has finally dug her grave."
Although the apprentices were frightened by the Crown Prince's unexpected towering rage, they were even more happy at witnessing Murong Ling's misfortunate.
Therefore, they didn't back away. Instead, they stealthily moved closer to get a better view of the show.
Crown Prince Lail slowly walked into the room, his cold and sharp eyes trained on the still stunned dean.
Ever since the females had arrived outside his door, he had been sighing in frustration. He had only just made his intention to engage his personal disciple to Crown Prince Lail public, and yet, female fans were already taking their anger out on him.
'It must be great to be popular.' He unaffectedly thought.
The commotion was disturbing and distracting to his work. If he wanted, he could get the whole lot expelled on the ground of disrupting the learning environment. But since he understood the girls feelings and empathized with them, he decided to let the matter slip and allow them to vent their anger.
After all, it wasn't like they were hurting anyone.
However, a brief moment later, his office door was broken down. Kicked right into his room, with its hinges flying off.
The matter was so sudden and unexpected that he wasn't even able to react,. As such, for a long while, he just dazedly stared in disbelief.
'My door...was my office door just broken down?'
He was not able to comprehend what his eyes were seeing.
It was only when he felt an oppressive aura forcefully boring down on him, that he came to his senses.
When he looked up, what he saw was the furious expression of the young man he wanted to betroth to his disciple.
"Little Lail? What's going on?"
"That's what I want to ask you, dean. What the hell is going on here?" Although the voice was restrained, the rage was unconcealable.
It was so oppressive and overwhelming that he found it difficult to breath under the enormous pressure.
