Suspicious Lady

The interrogation continued and was yet to be finished even after an hour had passed. Lady Anastasia, who had the heavier punishment between the two sinners was pale and had difficulty breathing. They ignored it at first since pretending an illness was a common occurrence in the courtroom but it was not like they could not decipher the truth given enough time.

"The lady is sick but we have yet to know the reason. Even herself cannot explain why she is like that," an Elder Mage versed in healing whispered into the most senior of them all.

The man stared at the lady who was not lying. From the start, she did not look like a person desperate enough to deal with a devil. He was led to believe that the person below had great talent in hiding one's true feeling that even them could not reveal her evil intents that attracted a dark magician or a devil.
