Chapter 512: Domineering

"I had to compromise," The Headmistress announced as soon as Khan brought his phone to his ear.

"What do you mean, ma'am?" Khan asked.

"I hope you understand," Headmistress Holwen continued. "The peace of the Harbor always comes first."

"Ma'am, what is happening?" Khan pressed on. He had understood that something was off as soon as he saw the Headmistress' call, and that vague explanation intensified his worries.

"I'm not sure either," Headmistress Holwen stated. "Forces that I can't hope to contain have stepped forward. I had to grant them some time."

"Time to do what?" Khan raised his voice. "And who are these forces?"

"A suitor's family," Headmistress Holwen revealed, "And your girlfriend's family. As for what they have in mind, I can only suggest you go look at it yourself."

Khan had countless questions, but the Headmistress cut the call short. "I have to prepare for the political implications. Good luck, Captain."
