Chapter 92: She killed my sister!

Vincent turned around and started walking away. However, after taking only a few steps, he stopped.

"I will ask the academy’s assessment board to handle this matter. And one more thing, the Crown Prince’s men will be the ones investigating this case from now on. So, stop bothering Liliana until everything is clear."

With that, Vincent continued walking without any intention of looking back.

"What happened to Liliana?" Cassian asked as soon as he saw Vincent carrying the unconscious girl in his arms.

Vincent glanced at him briefly before entering Liliana’s room and laying her down on the bed.

He pulled the blanket over her body.

"What happened?" Cassian asked again, this time with a hint of panic in his voice.

"She almost exposed her identity and used her power in front of all her classmates," Vincent finally replied.

Cassian froze for several seconds. Liliana wasn’t someone who would...

"She killed Mali Forst," Vincent interrupted.

"Liliana?" Cassian shook his head in disbelief.

"I’ll look for evidence immediately," Cassian said.

Vincent quickly grabbed Cassian by the shoulder. "Someone is protecting Liliana’s instructor this time. You won’t be able to find even the slightest trace of evidence."

Cassian turned to look at Vincent. "Have you investigated it?"

Vincent shook his head. "It’s just my intuition. This instructor is far too confident and seems determined to force Liliana to take responsibility for all of this."

Vincent shifted his gaze toward Liliana, who still looked pale.

"Liliana shouldn’t have killed her. But the marks on Mali’s body indicate that Liliana was involved."

Vincent let out a heavy sigh before continuing.

"Keep an eye on her. Someone might cause trouble again soon. I’ll ask the Crown Prince for help handling this matter. It seems someone is desperate to see Liliana’s power and is using this situation to push her into revealing it."

Cassian stared into Vincent’s gray eyes for a few moments before nodding.

Vincent turned around and hurried toward the special training grounds at Mirena Academy. This place was reserved exclusively for future Alphas who ranked among the top ten.

Vincent surveyed the vast, enclosed training ground before slowly making his way toward one corner.

There weren’t many people there. Only Crown Prince Leonhardt and Lucien Valmount were present.

"I pay my respects to the Crown Prince of the Morovela Empire," Vincent said respectfully.

Leonhardt glanced at him briefly but didn’t stop what he was doing. He continued swinging the sword in his hand toward Lucien, who was already drenched in sweat.

Vincent said nothing. He stood quietly, remaining in the same position.

Bam!

After ten minutes, Lucien finally collapsed, with Leonhardt’s sword pointed directly at his neck. Just a slight push would have been enough to sever it.

Leonhardt snorted. "Not bad for today."

He put away his sword, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat from his body, and then looked at Vincent.

"Is something wrong?"

Vincent nodded. "Your Highness, something has happened to Liliana. Someone has deliberately caused trouble and is trying to force her to use her power in front of everyone."

Leonhardt stared at Vincent for a few moments. "Who?"

"Liliana’s instructor today. He is using Liliana’s involvement in Mali’s death as an excuse to force her to take responsibility for what happened."

Lucien, who had been lying on the ground, immediately got up and walked toward Vincent.

"An instructor? Just an ordinary instructor?"

Vincent nodded. "Exactly."

Leonhardt turned around, picked up his clothes, and quickly put them on.

"Your Highness," one of Leonhardt’s subordinates said as he approached after Leonhardt gestured for him to come out of his hiding place.

"Investigate the place where Liliana fought earlier. Find out whom that instructor and Mali Forst have met over the past few days," Leonhardt ordered.

The subordinate bowed before disappearing into the darkness once again.

Lucien quickly picked up his clothes and followed the two of them toward Liliana’s dormitory room.

Just as Vincent had expected, a large crowd had now gathered outside Liliana’s dormitory.

In front of her door, Cassian stood tall with a cold expression, staring at the people before him who kept talking, demanding that he open the door and make Liliana come outside.

"Cassian Draven! Are you really going to keep protecting Liliana? Have you completely forgotten the miserable state your Pack is in right now? Do you intend to make things even worse for your Pack?" asked the instructor who had confronted Liliana in front of all her classmates earlier.

Cassian shifted his gaze toward the instructor.

He stepped closer, his eyes sharp and cold.

"Instructor, do you think blaming everything on Liliana will make this matter go away? Do you think no one will dare to stand up for her?"

Cassian paused briefly before continuing in a firm voice.

"I’m Cassian Draven. Even if no one else is willing to defend Liliana, I will be one of them. And besides..." Cassian lowered his voice. "Do you really think the academy dean will simply let this matter slide? I’ve already requested an investigation under the academy council. Just wait and see."

"Cassian? Aren’t you thinking a little too highly of yourself? Liliana is guilty here. And you’re asking the dean to deal with such a trivial matter?"

Cassian shrugged, refusing to compromise. He remained standing firmly in front of Liliana’s room, determined to stop anyone from trying to enter.

"LILIANA!!!"

The shout of Mali Forst’s brother echoed from a distance.

Everyone immediately turned toward the source of the voice.

Behind the man, a middle-aged woman with a pale, tear-stained face followed him.

Cassian watched them for a few moments until the man approached.

"Cassian Draven! Get away from Liliana’s room!" he ordered firmly.

"This is my sister’s room. She’s sleeping. Don’t you dare disturb her."

Mali’s brother approached and grabbed Cassian by the collar.

"She killed my sister! And now, when I want to demand that she take responsibility, you’re protecting her like this? Cassian, aren’t you being a little too arrogant?"

Cassian slapped the man’s hand away and shoved him back in return.

"Ken Forst. You’re accusing Liliana of killing your sister? Do you have any evidence?"

"Evidence?" he sneered. "The instructor is a witness. The wounds on her body also bear traces of Liliana’s involvement. And besides, Mali’s identity necklace is proof as well. Is that still not enough?" he shouted.

"That’s all you have? Do you think evidence like this is enough to force an innocent person to admit to something she didn’t do?"

Cassian stared sharply at Ken.

"Ken Forst, if that’s the case, aren’t you no different from the person you were two years ago, when your Pack drove Liliana out of your territory?"
