Though the nobles had higher authority in the empire compared to the masses...
Murder was still considered a serious crime irrespective of the status of the individual killed.
The situation... It had escalated beyond control.
"What nonsense is that? I had just hit her once."
The young lord raised his voice in annoyance.
"How could someone die from that?!"
Behind the mask was fear.
No matter who he killed... A murder was a murder.
"Master, let's move from here. We will clear the scene, you just have to—"
"You bastards! Do you even realise the limits of your cruelty?"
Soi growled at the guards who began to escort their lord out of the place.
He picked up his body from the ground.
"Tsk. Commoner, do you want to die too?" The noble kid began to move towards Soi, but was stopped by the guards.
He might have felt the fear of the possible consequences of his actions... But his ego blinded him again.
