Clemante instantly stood up from his seat before asking him, "Didn't you just say that he is your best spy? How could you now say that your best spy was dead?"
The mice have a link between them and everyone could be connected from their Mouse King as long as he wanted.
Yet today he said that the mouse that he sent to spy on Fenella could no longer be connected.
This could only happen if the mouse turned rogue or if it was dead.
There is no way that a best spy would suddenly want to go rogue. It is absolutely illogical because of the benefits he could get by working under their King.
How could such a mouse ever want to leave their clan and decide to go rogue who would be chased for his life?
Hence they could easily come to the conclusion that the mouse is no longer alive.
