'My… what?'
The moment I listen to the words spewed by this worthless excuse of a Knight, my eyes widen in sheer surprise. The accusations that have been thrown my way aren't light ones by any means.
Even as a High-Rank Knight, Brutus should not be able to make them so carelessly.
Unless—
'The Earl! He must have put him up to this!' I stare hatefully at Brutus, though I quickly calm myself before making any rash decisions.
While trying to collect my thoughts, I notice something equally as terrible.
The students around me, all my supporters, begin to shrink back. Hesitation, coupled with fear, becomes apparent on their faces. Their hands fall, and none of the vigor they previously displayed remains.
In an instant, there is sheer silence, and I am at the center of the hollow.
