YOUNG MASTER'S POV: I AM THE GAME'S VILLAIN
Volume Two: The Mask's Weight
Chapter 163: Professor Malcris Offers Help
Professor Aldric Malcris entered like a man visiting a sick student.
That was the insult.
Not the smile. Not the folded hands. Not the precise, humble angle of his head as Veylan opened the archive door and allowed him into a room full of evidence smelling of burned contracts and abyssal residue.
The insult was concern.
Malcris wore concern beautifully.
Too beautifully.
"Student Valdrake," he said. "I was told the evidence examination caused a magical reaction. I came to ensure no one was harmed."
Liora muttered, "He means recently."
Aiden shot her a look.
She shrugged.
Valid correction.
