The Ice Line's

Chapter 21: Who Did It?

Someone entered through another underground passage, he wore a golden-colored robe with white feathers on each side of the robe, also he used a crown on his head.... He was the king of Ron Zivanna, the ruler of the Setavian Kingdom.

Beside him was the Knight who had once mocked me, and beside him was a woman. I don't know who, maybe she's king Ron's wife....

He stopped in front of us and the teachers spoke....

“Only those who survived?” Ask king Ron

“Ya just them...,” replied Mr. Hendry.

After that they were all discussing, I really barely understood what they were talking about even I asked Chiva if he understood, it turned out that he was the same as.... I actually understood their discussion a little and could guess what they were going to do, but it was hard to say it in easy language. But the point is they had to ask how we survived, discuss who did this, and how to find the missing students.

Then one of the female teachers said that she had seen a silhouette of someone at night passing near the male dormitory building. But the teacher ignored him and thought he was just hallucinating, also the teacher had thought that the witch was one of the higher-ups. But the teacher also added and realized that the silhouette of that person was very similar to the witches who came from the Veratha Empire, that is, using black robes, the clothes that covered the entire body to the head and the wand and also the five higher-ups that night were in the palace with the king.

King Ron did not want to be rash even though he also felt that the main culprit was the Veratha Empire. If this is indeed the case of the Veratha Empire then they have already broken the truce and re-started the war.

Then king Ron called me and took me to a quiet place to talk....

“Your contract will really begin if this case is indeed caused by the Veratha Empire or there is their involvement,” said king Ron. “But, I added your mission.... Kill Emperor Veratha.

CRAZY PEOPLE! IF THE MISSION IS JUST RECONNAISSANCE I'M OKAY, BUT THIS IS EVEN TOLD TO KILL THE IMPERIAL LEADER DIRECTLY! CRAZY PEOPLE!!!

“But he is the ruler of the Empire, where maybe I can finish him!” Refute me firmly.

“Who?!” Askaqua.

King Ron left while saying. “Later you know..”

I told him it was gone, I wanted to make fun of him but he was the king and if I mocked him I would be executed.

I also walked back together with the teachers, students, and the academy officials. After another discussion, everyone was led down the street used by King Ron into the basement. After walking for a while, it turned out that the road led directly to the palace of the king.

“Welcome to the palace...,” said king Ron.

I walked to observe the magnificent palace, although it was not the first time I entered the palace but seeing the splendor of the palace was indeed very rare to see.

Then king Ron invited the top officials of the academy to discuss in a secret room. While other teachers were asked to look after the students, except me. I was asked to go with King Ron....

“Why is he coming with the higher-ups and we are not?!” Ask Rovka out loud.

“He has important business, and must come with the higher ups and noble ones.” said Alissa.

I followed King Ron and the higher-ups into a room....
