Chapter 43: Blood Scandal (5)
Two accidents happening in such close proximity to each other would surely bring attention especially if it was in a building hosting a party as big as the final’s spring festival.
But that attention was the last thing needed by the faculty of the Academy and the professors who arrived on the scene did their best to prevent anyone from leaving.
"Describe how you got here!"
"When I arrived, Matilda Ambrose was in proximity of this place and seemed to have heard or sensed something, I am not sure. Honestly, I felt something as well and proceeded ahead with the support of Lady Edith Black covering my back. When we entered the scene, we were greeted with the sight of Lord Reginald lying on the ground, beaten to an inch of his life, and we only recognized him from his attire and sword. Later, Lord Edmond Black joined me and we discovered that Lady Isadora was in the other room and she seemed to have had a violent accident as well."
"Describe how you got here!"
"I followed Senior Vivian Moore in order to find a place where we could eat and converse without disturbance and away from the noise. We stumbled upon Matilda Ambrose and later the three of us discovered Lord Reginald’s body, who was alive by the time I checked for his vitals. Senior Vivian instructed me to rush for help and you know the rest."
"Describe how you got here!"
"Well... since His Highness wanted me to keep an eye on Miss Matilda while he was in a meeting with the Provost. Lady Vivian and my sister Edith encountered her and I sensed a bit of hostility. As I was about to intervene, the three ladies suddenly acted strange and rushed to the room, weapons in hand. I later revealed myself and managed to find Lady Isadora with Lady Vivian’s help."
"Describe how you got here!"
"I was... I felt something... I know it sounds ridiculous... *sob* We found him on the floor and... he... I couldn’t help him. I was afraid... I came too late."
"Enough with that, you’ve already figured out everything."
