Chapter 364: Investigation
The sll of 'healing' incense filled Anna's room.
If a normal Lycan was inside this room, they would surely pass out and might not wake up for a few days. Just what were they trying to do to her?
Are they trying to test her body?
In the first place, she never fainted.
She also faked her injuries and current state.
She opened her eyes and took a few seconds to adjust to the darkness.
It was already ten in the evening.
While she really wanted to sleep, she had promised to do sothing tonight.
She made sure that no one is near her room before sneaking out and using another invisibility to visit the prince. It was the only way for her to go in and out of that man's room leaving no traces.
Anna hated how good the slling senses of the Lycans were.
One mistake and they would recognize her scent.
After a few minutes, she arrived inside the Prince's room and sprinkled so powder on the man's lower body.
Then she left.
However, just as she walked out of the castle, she noticed a shadow walking toward the headmistress's office.
Of course, she imdiately followed them.
She wasn't planning on snooping around. All she wanted… was to 'gather more information.'
…..
Next Day
Headmistress' Office
"So, you just decided to hunt so animals?" Headmistress Mo asked for the umpteenth ti. "In the forest?"
Anna nodded. "It was a form or… therapy."
"Therapy?"One of the parents behind the headmistress snorted. "You made other people worry! How could you just leave…"
"Am I a prisoner, Mister?" This current scenario reminded her of a hearing. She was sitting in front of everyone while they were sitting across from her. They said they only wanted to investigate what happened. It was a poor excuse.
Clearly, this group of people wanted to do sothing more than… investigation.
"Excuse ?"
Instead of repeating her question, she pursed her lips and turned her attention to the headmistress. First, she was not a prisoner. Second, what's wrong with hunting animals?
"I was trained to hunt animals… when upset. My father told … it is better than hunting humans." She then sent a smile to Alpha Urchaid. This man was ntioned by the people who kidnapped her yesterday.
He should be the mastermind, right?
Before the kidnapping happened, this man was arguing with the headmistress. Just like everyone in this room, he, too, wanted her out of this academy.
"The blood…"
"We already confird that it belonged to… a bear."
"Bears…"
"Yes. Bears."
"The forest is big, but I haven't heard of so bears around…"
"There are a few bears up north. But usually, it was too far and dangerous, we don't advise students to go there. After all, a dark one might appear anyti too. It would be dangerous for the younger ones."
The other people inside the room started talking.
So of them wanted to ask her how was she able to kill 'bears' but hesitated. While so of them were just glaring at her, as if she did sothing unforgivable. Of course, there were a few people who openly criticized her for making everyone worry.
Since the king wanted her to be protected inside the academy, she couldn't just leave the premises unguarded.
So wanted her to apologize to the other students for making them find her.
The current scene was just… pure chaos.
Of course, Anna just listened saying nothing.
"Everyone… quiet." Headmistress Mo uttered. "Since we already confird that she was just out hunting, then we should proceed to the next important question that we are going to ask."
So? It's finally coming?
Anna smirked inwardly.
"You might not know this… but the older Lycans were sent to kill dark ones at the gates up north and south. This was for practical experience. However, two days ago, three Lycan went missing. Last night, the head of the team confird that the three of them went back to the academy ahead of ti."
The headmistress looked at Alpha Urchaid before she continued. "They belonged to Alpha Urchaid's pack and until now, we have not found any traces of them."
"And?"
"Judging by the ti that they left the gates, they were supposed to arrive here… yesterday. Now. I want to ask you. Have you seen them? Two n, one woman."
"No."
"You have to pass through the northern part of the forest to go to the north. If you were there to hunt bears… there was a high chance that…"
"No. Headmistress."
"Are you sure?" This ti, the man sitting on Alpha Urchaid's left spoke.
"Of course. I could rember anyone I see. And yesterday, it was just and nature. No one else was there."
"When Devon and the others found you… you ntioned sothing… like a question. Why did you ask them if they were there to kill you?"
Anna looked at the man. "Why should I answer your question?" she leaned back, her expression was calm and collected.
"You— "
"Miss Matthews, please answer him. He was just…"
"Have you lost… a family mber, sir?" It was her ti to ask a question. Anna donned a serious expression.
"Why are you— "
"I have lost all of my family mbers." Of course, Anna took the opportunity to pull a pity card on everyone. "All of them were killed. Yesterday… was the first ti that I was able to let go of my emotions. I… "This ti, she turned her gaze towards the Alpha. "I cut off their limbs… I imagined them as the people who wanted to hurt ."
The Alpha's face turned cold, his gaze turned steely.
He understood it.
He knew what she was trying to say.
"Yesterday, I was sitting by the river, planning to wash the blood off my body. Suddenly, a group of people who were not my friends and clearly hated showed up in full armor." Just like the three people who took her to that cabin.
"If you were in my situation. Would you smile and say hello?" she asked.
