"As you expected, I was the one who orchestrated the downfall of Testarossa."

A chilling silence fell over the meeting room.@@novelbin@@

Around Shion, sparks of mana crackled in the air, sending ripples through the atmosphere.

A force more powerful than words—a silent, seething fury, obvious to anyone who saw her.

Rohan immediately spoke up.

"Continue the conversation. I will keep my promise."

Both the High Elder and Shion interpreted Rohan’s words in their own way.

For Levin Maxwell, it sounded like an affirmation of what had been stated earlier—that under the name of Hekes, all responsibility would be placed upon him.

For Shion, it reminded her of the promise she had made with Rohan back at the dormitory.

“…”

Shion, who had been glaring daggers at the High Elder, shifted her eyes for a moment.

Seeing Rohan speaking and Clara seated beside him, she felt a sense of stability.

Taking a deep breath, she reined in her mana, suppressing the storm of emotions within her.

If she lost control here and acted recklessly, she might never get another chance to hear the full truth.

All she could do was silently thank Rohan for keeping her from crossing that line.

“Of course, Princess, I understand that you must have many doubts. You have been asking us increasingly difficult questions for quite some time now.”

“…”

“There is little time, so I will provide only the most crucial details.”
