Third Person's POV
A sharp wave of gasps rippled through the square as they understood that this creature was the one who had attacked Ethan secretly, and he seemed to be none other than the senior deacon who had presided over today's gathering.
Yet the skeletal demon did not answer.
He neither attacked Ethan nor acknowledged the powerful woman in red.
He simply stood there, unmoving, his hollow, death-tinged eyes fixed on her as if waiting for something only he understood.
Suddenly, the lady in red slowly descended from the air and floated down before the bulky earth deacon.
Her crimson robes rippled gently as if stirred by an unseen tide, and her gaze settled on him with an icy pressure that made his throat tighten.
"You," she said coldly, her voice sharp and regal at the same time, "tell me exactly what happened here."
The earth demon stiffened and hastily saluted, his heavy armor clanking as he straightened his back.
"Yes, Lady Raven," he shouted with forced confidence.
