"Tell me, fourth elder, Balak, who had secretly sent the plan of the patrols of our troops just before our enemies launched their penultimate assault?"
"..." The face of the person concerned was deformed with rage following his short silence. "...Do you accuse me of a crime I didn't commit!? If the enemy commander had received the patrol plans, I think the first person you must accuse is wrong, it is the mixed-blood, not us who barely leave the imperial palace."
The mixed blood he was talking about was none other than Luliina, who takes care of these tasks.
Of course, knowing that he accused her of a thing she was not aware of, the latter was also mad with the fourth elder.
But just before she speaks, Anastasia raises her hand, signaling her to shut up.
