The officer looked at the student. "Does this answer your question?"
The student nodded and stepped back.
The student hadn't thought that these three masked men were most likely traitors from Duke Mithril's side.
Their status also explained their need for a mask.
Everyone hated traitors, no matter to which faction they belonged. Someone that backstabbed their home was very easy to hate.
One of the masked men slightly lifted his hand in a nonchalant fashion.
The officer gestured for him to speak.
The man looked at the student. "Not everyone wearing a mask is wearing one because of the reason you might think."
"Some of us are just not interested in getting embroiled in politics."
"We are here to do our job. Nothing more, nothing less."
The man stepped back and went silent again.
"Of course," the officer said with a smile.
