Inside the academy's executive office.
I was still stewing in shock when I asked Ruppel the following question. "What are you even talking about?!"
He sunk into the couch and firmly massaged his temples. "Dead Necromancers were discovered dangling by their necks on the plaza. That was early this morning. According to what some eyewitnesses say, an 'angel' did it."
Not just any Necromancers either – if they were from the Black Order, it'd be possible to come up with some excuses. However, the discovered Necromancers were wearing attires belonging to the envoy's group from Aslan. To make matters worse, the victims apparently belonged to the kingdom's aristocracy, too.
I asked again. "Who could have done that?"
"What are you saying? Didn't you do it? Surely the Necromancer that serves you must've been responsible."
"That's definitely not true."
