The day after the chess competition would have normally been a day off, but the student council assembled anyway. The meeting would probably include an announcement about how things were to be handled following the incident with the intruder.

Sitting snugly in her seat in the council room, Monica glanced around. Only Felix, the president, was missing. Apparently, the prince was currently in talks with teachers regarding the advisability of holding the school festival. The other council members were waiting for the results.

Lady Claudia said the festival would go forward…, thought Monica, though it didn’t make much sense to her. Under normal circumstances, such an event would almost certainly be canceled or postponed.

She and the other student council members all waited in their chairs, lost in thought. A little less than an hour passed before the door finally opened.

“Hey, everyone,” Felix called out as he entered the room. “Sorry for making you wait so long.”

“Sir!” Cyril rose from his chair with a clatter.

Elliott, resting his chin in his hand, grinned wryly and cast a sidelong glance at the prince. “Either way,” he said. “We’re going to hold it like nothing happened, right?”

“You catch on quickly,” responded Felix with his usual calm demeanor before taking his own seat and looking around the room. “First of all, it seems the intruder at yesterday’s chess competition has not been very cooperative with our investigation. It will likely take some time before we can wring all the information we want out of him—his employer, his objective, and the location of the real Mr. Pitman.”

There was one thing in particular Monica had been curious about when it came to the intruder: How had the man seemed so much like the real Eugene Pitman that none of the students from Minerva’s, including Bernie, realized immediately that he was a fake? He hadn’t put anything on his face or stuck any cotton into his oral cavity to adjust his silhouette or bone structure.

Was he just eerily similar to the real Eugene Pitman to begin with? wondered Monica, perplexed. That seems awfully convenient…

“The school festival will proceed as planned,” Felix continued. “However, we’ll need to take a look at our security detail and strengthen it. I’ll handle the review of our plans. I want the rest of you to continue preparing for the event as you have been.”

“Sir, I will help with the review,” offered Cyril immediately.

The prince shook his head. “This is our last day off before the festival. Our workload is going to ramp up tomorrow, so I want you all to get a good rest today.” He looked at Cyril and added with a smile, “That’s an order.”

Cyril looked anguished to receive such an order from his esteemed prince. To him, not being able to help Felix must have been much more painful than taking on more work.

He frowned and gritted his teeth. “…Understood, sir,” he said eventually. “I’ll rest for today so that I can dedicate my full efforts to aiding you tomorrow.” Then he groaned, trembling.
