Story 20. The Line between the Light and the Shadow (3)

Chapter 34

If what Manar told me was true… That everyone suspected Eriez of killing the messengers… Then what could I do for him?

Firstly, I decided to stop visiting him at night. It didn't matter to me; I was only going because I was worried Eriez might be lonely, but… It couldn't be helped. My involvement with him seemed to be worsening the suspicion against him. Besides, if the real murderer continued to kill… Then I was sure he would be captured eventually.

Finally, Virtuous Priestess's monthly bleeding began. Because of it, Prince Camille and I were kicked out of the Sacred Room. We were forced to spend our time in the library or in the inner garden, and at least this way, there were plenty of people who witnessed us studying. This was a good thing.
