But Sword-Seeking Lord seemed intent on pinning the massacre on me. Then again, everything had to be proven with evidence. He had gone down the mountain to visit a friend, while I had gone to deliver a message. We had merely left one after the other. I was a suspect, but did that mean he wasn't one too?
Seeing that we had fallen silent, Sword-Tasting Lord waved his sleeve and said to the group of junior brothers and sisters chasing after us, "Take your senior brother and junior sister back. I have already made up my mind about this matter. I'll naturally find the murderer."
