Noel leaned against the window frame of his room, eyes fixed on the frost-covered courtyard outside, but his mind wasn’t really there.
’This is driving me insane... I know it’s someone from inside. But who?’
His eyes narrowed.
’Nicolas? No. Impossible. No one could impersonate the Headmaster. Dior? Doubt it—he’s already left. Seraphina? Obviously not, she’s probably drowning in problems just from this whole mess.’
He tapped his fingers against the glass.
’That leaves... the professors.’
A pause.
’Instructor Dauk? Nah, all he cares about is training. Daemar? No way. He’s my favorite teacher—he wouldn’t... he couldn’t.’
The thought settled like a stone in his gut.
