Noah and Arlo soon found themselves standing outside the doors of the principal's office. After Florian had told them of the principal's summons, they'd immediately left to see the man.
Neither spoke for a few seconds, both simply staring at the door. Finally, Arlo sighed and knocked twice.
"Come in," a calm, authoritative voice replied.
They entered.
The moment they entered the office, the first thing that hit them was the aroma of tea and burning incense that was in the air.
The other thing was the large desk at the centre of the room. And sitting behind the desk was Aldred Kael, the Principal of the Royal Academy, and Arlo's grandfather.
Now that they were both before him, Noah found it hard to ignore the resemblance. How hadn't he known? Well, he hadn't really seen the principal close up a lot before. Not until after he returned from the Investigation Authority cells.
