As Weaver stared into Filina’s red eyes, he reflexively thought of Gabriel.
‘Is she fearless because she resembles her father?’
Even so, it was certain that he would have borrowed someone’s hand to help his daughter to enter the school. It was Gabriel, who even gave him (Weaver) a bag of money to ask for a favor.
With that personality, he (Gabriel) would have approached someone else, not just him (Weaver).
However, as Weaver looked into Filina’s angry eyes, I couldn’t help but feel strange.
She was truly angry at the Academy’s policies.
What was the reason? What could be the reason for a noblewoman to do such a cowardly thing and try to join the academy?
Weaver, who was staring at Filina silently, slowly opened his mouth.
“I don’t intend to hold the freshmen accountable. It’s just a formal procedure.”
At his words, Filina still asked back with doubts.
“So, there is no special damage to the two people who have been called here?”
At Filina’s words, Weaver stared at her in silence for a moment. His brow furrowed.
Weaver asked back in a low voice.
“Do you know the new students who drew their swords?”
“I only know them by face.”
“…And you came here to protest?”
He raised his lips in a low, snide grin.
“Lady Debussy, do you have a personality that is so interested in other people’s affairs? As far as I can tell, there wasn’t anyone in the Debussy family like that.”
Weaver openedly revealed he knew Filina.
Filina replied, her expression tightening.
“You know very well. If it had been someone I didn’t know, I wouldn’t have gone this far. But unfortunately, they’re acquainted with me, and I was the closest witness to the scene.”
If Henry, who was close to the person to the demon, attacked it early enough, she would not have interfered so much.
It was purely for Leon’s sake. She didn’t care one bit about Henry.
Even if he had pulled the sword out by himself.
She didn’t want to be responsible. It was just what people should do.
But Henry wasn’t one to follow a principle unless it was in his best interest to do so.
In the end, though, he listened to her.
Seeing Leon struggling with the demon but Henry killed it with only one strike of his sword made Filina feel even worse.
Filina spoke quietly as she looked at Weaver.
“Anyway, please keep your word that you will not hold the new students responsible. Apart from the fact that the Commander doesn’t recognize me as a cadet, the commotion is not the fault of the new students.”
She then bowed her head politely.
“I’m sorry for being rude.”
While apologizing, Filina looked at Weaver with proud eyes.
Weaver stared at Filina as she turned away, then opened his mouth again just as she was about to open the door and walk out.
“One moment.”
