Episode 61 – Murder in the White Quarters (2/2)
Peacekeepers rarely meddled in Muni business, for it was the responsibility of headmaster Eruan Arite to uphold justice and order inside Muni It was entirely up to him whether he wished to involve them or not
And most times he had no desire nor need to involve peacekeepers Muni was one of the safest places in Halnea Not even the peacekeeper headquarters were safer than Muni Muni was filled with geniusassistance and resolving any kind of immediate crisis
Even if he ignored the eternal guardian watching over Muni, what about all of the enchantments and protective measures they had invested into Muni over the last millennia?
Even if the current chief of peacekeepers herself told Eruan Arite that atrouble within Muni, Eruan Arite wouldn’t easily believe it So how could he believe a clai
Both of Eruan’s white eyebrows rose, and his long white eyelashes that looked like fans blinked repeatedly His face still remained the definition of calm as he asked softly:
“A murder? In my university?”
The leader ahtly bowed and explained “We have received a report withan elibu female examinee to be the perpetrator”
The htly, unsure whether he should refer to the white-haired man in front of him as principal or head and were used interchangeably, but they weren’t sure which term the man preferred Since they currently needed to watch their words as to not give him any reason to kick them out, the leader of the peacekeepers felt conflicted
In the end, he chose not to use either of the titles and instead just avoid referring to the white-haired beauty “Please allow us to enter and investigate the report”
Eruan Arite stared at the peacekeeper calmly “Who is the victim of the so-called murder?”
The peacekeeper squadron leader frowned and looked uncomfortable He opened his ed to squeeze out a response “Two Muni examiners”
Judging by his aard expression, he see of their names for even he, himself, found it hard to believe that those tould be the victims of murder
He would be more inclined to believe if someone told him that the tere the perpetrators
The strange behavior of the peacekeepers didn’t escape Eruan’s notice It only reinforced his own conviction that there was so
“Your activities would disturb the written exa this incident ourselves as we speak Please wait for the results of our investigation”
Before the peacekeepers could protest, Eruan added: “Don’t bother trying to convince me otherwise If I let you do as you please, ould answer to co that their perforhtless actions?
What if the person you arrest ends up being a victim of someone else’s malicious slander and ends up unable to enroll into Muni because you made her miss the exams?
Hoould you make it up to that innocent child who due to your reatest life opportunity?”
The peacekeepers looked at the unperturbed man speechlessly ide eyes The head that was unreasonable but…but…
What kind of logic was this??
The leader of the peacekeepers finally found his voice and exclaimed: “Will you be able to shoulder the responsibility of uilty and ends up endangeringour duty?!”
Eruan Arite sned a statee or death Inside Muni, their lives are their own responsibility”
The jaws of the peacekeepers couldn’t help but drop down in shock
What the…??? What kind of logic is this?!? Where is your conscience? Don’t you care at all about their lives?? Don’t you care at all what the public would say about this scandal??
The faces of peacekeepers were turning from black to white to red and then back to black
Just as they were about to protest and try to make this unreasonable man see some sense, a knock was heard
“Come in” Headmaster Eruan Arite didn’t hesitate at all and immediately voiced his melodic permission
When the peacekeepers saw the argel who came in, their faces lit up “Vice-principal Icya! Please help us!”
The ed lady wore her hair up in a tidy bun She was dressed in elegant, skin tight purple uniforolden, white and black details, quite similar to the unifor that her uniforht skirt, while the headmaster, of course, wore pants
While the purple uniforms of the headmaster and vice-principal were colored in the same royal purple that was closer to blue than red, the color looked totally different on each of the two
The color of Eruan Arite’s eyes was the same shade as the uniform which created a flawless harmony between him and the uniform As if the unifornani out of his nanimous and holy
However, the vice-principal Icya, besides the several black strands, had a head full of dark enta colored hair that was closer to pink which clashed with the royal purple color of the unifor her strict and cold features even more pronounced
Her cold teal eyes conored the hopeful expressions of the peacekeepers and walked up briskly towards Eruan Arite She bowed her head slightly in recognition and exclaiated the claims of the murder as per your command”
Eruan Arite nodded his inco his snohite silk like hair to tickle his shoulder “Report”
“Yes, headmaster”
