The demonic vehicles arrived at the entrance to the Academy grounds.
Selef, who was walking beside Isirid, sensed the power of Director Persec's presence, but he was not intimidated. He turned around in the direction of the building where Persec was in his study.
Selef bowed slightly in respect, then walked toward the demonic vehicles with Isirid at his side, followed by Deria and Leyla.
"My grandfather must be angry. He must have found out," said Isirid in a calm tone, trying to hide her nervousness.
"Don't worry, I'll go with you to talk to him when we get back. We'll be family, he'll have to get used to it," said Selef, taking Isirid's hand as they got into the demonic vehicle.
Isirid smiled subtly and sweetly, as Selef's mere presence made her feel safe, but his words encouraged her deeply.
