    <span style="font-weight:400">"Have you heard?! The son of Baron Stilword tried to attack the son of Marquis Freed!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What?! Aren''t the two supposed to be friends?!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hah, that''s what he gets for trying to act buddy-buddy with everyone,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Like that, the talk about what happened on Keith''s ind spread throughout the academy. For Keith, his expression was a little twisted.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Carolyn and Gabriel saw. However, they couldn''t say anything about it. It was quite a shock for all of them.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The rumors going around were false.


    <span style="font-weight:400">What was said was Jack was detained for trying to attack another student. The expressions on Keith''s face showed that he was the one.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"How could a Baron do that to a Marquis?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What is wrong with humans?"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"They have no control over their vassals."


    <span style="font-weight:400">Because of that, people started to criticize Jack for everything that happened. For other races, they continued to denounce the humans because of this.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith wasn''t doing any of that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Why did he do that? Keith was confused as to why Jack would do something like that.


    <span style="font-weight:400">The thing he was confused about was that only the cart was destroyed. He could have burned the garden and the rest of the ind down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">But he didn''t do that. It was only the cart that was destroyed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith continued to have a weird expression all the way to lunch. The others stared at him with worry.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Keith," Carolyn nudged him in worry. Keith looked at her. A soft smile formed as he patted her head,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Sorry about worrying you. I was thinking about something,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s alright," She could tell Keith wasn''t angry. In the beginning, he was. But she could tell he cooled down.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ah, two days of hard work went down the drain. Sorry about that, Arlo." Keith apologized to Arlo. The two had been working on the cart for so long. For it to go into smoke like that felt wrong.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"It''s fine, Leader." Arlo waved his hands, "This means we need to improve the design! We''ll make it fireproof next time!"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Indeed," Keithughed. His mood lightened more.


    <span style="font-weight:400">...


    <span style="font-weight:400">When Keith returned home, he turned to the burnt cart. He bent down to touch the torched wood.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Diana."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"What''s the matter, Keith?" Diana appeared in front of him.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I need to ask you something,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Why didn''t you stop Jack?" Keith questioned as he stared at the spirit. He understood. Diana could stop Jack. She knew what was going on. Even if Diana was inside her home, she could sense people messing around.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Tell me what you saw," A thought came to Keith''s mind. Diana must have seen something that caused her to stop.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Diana sighed, "The boy was crying, Keith."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Hmm?" Keith blinked a few times. Diana continued with what she witnessed,


    <span style="font-weight:400">"You''re right. I sensed someone approaching the cart yesterday night,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">Since she was so close, she noticed Jacking out during the night.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I was going to stop him when I saw the torch in his hand. But I noticed the tearful expression he had on his face."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"..."


    <span style="font-weight:400">"When he lit the cart, I saw him crying and apologizing at the same time," Diana sighed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"That was why I decided not to do anything. I''m sorry," It was a judgment call.


    <span style="font-weight:400">Keith shook his head, "I''m not mad about it. You made the right call," He was confused by all of this. But what Diana said brought a lot of rity to the situation.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I know what I have to do,"


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Aria!" Keith called. Aria quickly flew down to his side.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"I need you to bring this letter," Keith quickly took out a paper and wrote something before handing it to Aria.


    <span style="font-weight:400">"Ho!" Like that, the owl dashed off at blinding speed.


    <span style="font-weight:400">I need to know.
