Chapter 4

Matthias woke after a few hours sleep, feeling much more refreshed. He carefully left the bed, trying not to wake Kristoff. After scrawling a quick note to explain where he had gone, he left the apartment.

The walk to the University was pleasant. It was the middle of the night by now, the time that left Matthias feeling wide awake, enticingly energised. It was the time of night when humans didn’t go out unless they absolutely had to. It was unfair, Matthias thought, that in a nocturnal society, there were a significant number of hours throughout the night, wherein the majority of the population didn’t feel comfortable going outside.

As he arrived at the University campus he noticed that people were staring at him even more than they usually did. Word must have spread about the incident yesterday. Good. Perhaps it would make people think more about how they treated humans. He made his way to the Dean’s office.

Upon entering the austere building, Matthias found himself faced with an alarmed looking human man sitting at the desk outside of the Dean’s office.

“Tell the Dean I am here to see him,” Matthias said, hating the way that the man before him paled. “B-but my lord, he is extremely busy today-”

“He will make time for me,” Matthias interrupted, quelling the usual guilt that came whenever he used his privilege to get things done. He was doing this for Illuntaire, he reminded himself.

The desk clerk hurried off into the Dean’s office and returned a few moments later. “My apologies, my lord; the Dean has time to see you immediately.”

“Thank you,” Matthias replied, causing the man to looked shocked for a moment. Then Matthias headed through the doors and found himself in the Dean’s office.

“Good evening, my lord,” the Dean greeted jovially. The was an edge of nervousness to his voice, however. Matthias did not mean to appease it.

“It’s gone midnight,” he replied instead, feigning irritation.

“It has? I ought to say goodnight then, hadn’t I? I’m sorry about that business at the door; the stupid boy ought to have let you through immediately.”

“It’s no matter,” Matthias assured, not wanting to get the man in trouble.

“Perhaps I ought to have gotten a vampire desk clerk after all, but humans work for so much less.”

Matthias clenched his teeth and bit back a growl. One problem at a time, he told himself. It wouldn’t do to correct the Dean’s bigotry here and end up making it more difficult to get justice for Illuntaire.

“I’m here to recommend the expulsion of one of the students enrolled here,” Matthias stated, ignoring the man’s previous comment.

“I’m sorry, my lord, I cannot expel a student without justification.” “He attacked a fellow student!”

“Ah, I see. Then, of course, my lord, we shall look into the matter. If I may, what are the names of the students in question?”

“Illuntaire was the name of the one who was attacked. And Durand was his attacker.”

“Ah yes! The bloodslave. Lord de Terrac was here earlier about it. I
