Chapter 387: 16 Year Old Inglis and the New Semester (9)
“Thankfully, we managed to keep ourselves safe in the skirmish, though it left us with no option but to defeat all our assailants. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced they shared traits with the undead who attacked Leone,” reflected Liselotte.
Inglis nodded in agreement, lending credibility to the suspicion. "It's a likely scenario," she said.
Leone chimed in, a hint of concern in her voice. "So, it wasn't just an isolated incident involving me, but Duke Althea was targeted as well?"
Rafinha, puzzled, asked, "I remember you mentioning how rare undead encounters are, Glis. Then why are they suddenly appearing everywhere?"
Inglis pondered for a moment before responding, "It's possible that the actual target wasn't Duke Althea but Liselotte."
This revelation left Liselotte startled. "Me? Why would they target me?"
Inglis shared her insights, "There seems to be a common link between Leone and Liselotte’s situations. Both of you have gained significant recognition for your roles in the battle against Prisma."
The group looked at her curiously, prompting Inglis to explain further. "Indeed. Both of you are now widely known for your achievements in that battle. I never believed that someone from Arlman would target Leone and Mr. Leon at this point. If there were any intentions of such a nature, they would have acted much sooner. This leads me to believe that if Liselotte encountered undead assailants similar to those who attacked Leone, it's likely due to the fame both of you have garnered from the Prisma Battle. It also suggests that the real target in Liselotte’s case wasn't Duke Althea, but Liselotte herself, due to her rising prominence."
"That does seem like a plausible explanation," conceded Liselotte.
