Master Walter frowned, displaying clear displeasure.
In usual circumstances, he wouldn't be so impolite to a friend.
He looked somewhat tired, and his beard was unkempt—most others already knew why.
Master Walter's pampered, rebellious only daughter, who had fallen to become a Son of the Moon, failed and died at last night's ascension ceremony.
Generally speaking, a Son of the Moon possesses stronger life force. Even if the ceremony fails, even with grave injuries or death, they may not die completely upon returning to the real world.
He was somewhat suspicious if the one who killed Andrea was the ascending Laro and Her Royal Highness the Princess. Given their proximity, it was entirely possible they entered the same ascension ceremony—Master Walter had long sent someone to warn Andrea, but she clearly wasn't willing to follow Master Walter's orders.
