"Viscount Angler, did you oversleep?"
Joyce teased, grinning at Colin who walked in.
Colin bowed, then chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, Young Master Joyce, I was kept awake by thunder last night and indeed overslept this morning."
Joyce laughed uproariously and waved it off, demonstrating his magnanimity.
Archbishop Agani watched Colin with an intense gaze, suddenly smiling and saying, "Viscount Angler, weren't you aware of the significant events that occurred last night?"
Instantly, sadness and regret permeated Colin's countenance. He sighed, "I just heard about it, I can't believe that Count Uman and Knight Thomas met with such misfortune...Ah!"
The old foxes present watched Colin's performance, secretly ridiculing him in their minds.
They of course knew about Uman's death. Colin was the prime suspect, but there was no evidence proving he was the one who murdered Count Uman.
