An Extra’s POV

'How could this have happened?!'

Rey sat in his bed in deep contemplation. Beads of sweat formed in his face as his brow furrowed in confusion.

'Who could have done it?'

To ensure the privacy of their saviors, their doors were enchanted with special Magic that none of them had been taught yet.

They were also given personal keys to their rooms, while being assured that none other possessed keys that could open their respective doors.

None but the Head Knight and Grand Mage.

Those two possessed a masterkey that could unlock anyone's room, and this was meant to be for their safety.

'Brutus and Lucielle aren't around. Could they have dropped the masterkey with someone who ended up coming in?'

That was definitely a possibility, but Rey found it very unlikely.

Why would the Royal Family do something so untrustworthy at this juncture? And why would they target his room?

'Could this be Billy? I did embarrass him earlier today.'

It was also possible that his new stalker, Trisha, was the one who was snooping around his room.

'But is that likely? I don't think so!'

They both didn't have access to his room, and the masterkey couldn't have fallen into their hands.

'Then who…?! Who could it be?!'

The more Rey racked his brain to find out, the more frustrated he became.

'I have to find out… and fast!'

He hadn't been interacting with his classmates properly, so he wasn't sure who could be responsible.

'T-then… maybe… Alicia…?!'

He found it strange that she left the library earlier than he did. It was very unlike her.

'But is that even possible? Why would Alicia…? No… I can't rule her out completely!'

Rey knew he was panicking, and for good reason.

'It's not just because I'll lose resources or anything like that. There's the fact that my secret could be exposed if this comes out.'

There was no way the thief didn't notice just how large his stash was.
