"Hem... about that."
"Shaan, what's wrong?" Nalira furrowed her brow. "Why do you seem hesitant to answer Chelsie's question? Is something wrong?"
"Oh, no, no. Nothing's wrong at all." Shaan shook his head. "It's just… I only managed to retrieve a small part of Doppleshade's corpse because something happened inside the cave."
"S-something?" Chelsie's face instantly tensed. "Don't tell me this has something to do with another dark creature?"
"No, it wasn't because of that," said Shaan. "At first I thought so too, but it turned out not to be the case. It was all because someone deliberately used a destructive spell to destroy the evidence."
"What Shaan is saying is true," Dr. Marshal nodded. "I was also quite surprised when Shaan told me that, because no one else should have been able to enter this cave since Sir Kael's members guarded the cave entrance strictly. Unless…"
"'Unless what?'" Chelsie furrowed her brow.
