Chapter 5: Chapter 4: Shadows of Suspicion
Lysandra had a feeling she was closing in on the truth. The black cloak meant something, and she would not let go until she discovered who it belonged to. Determined, she began asking questions, seeking further details about Caspian and his routine.
As she delved deeper into her investigation, Lysandra sensed that Caspian was trying to avoid her. He would disappear into the shadows whenever she approached, always leaving her with more questions than answers. But this only fueled her determination to uncover the mystery.
Meanwhile, Caspian kept a watchful eye on Lysandra from afar, his mind racing with plans to keep his secret safe. He knew Lysandra was smart and capable; he could not afford to underestimate her. Yet again, he had taken every possible precaution and was confident that he had left no obvious clues.
The murder had sent shockwaves through the academy. Students whispered among themselves, their voices tinged with fear and curiosity. The magical police were doing everything they could to find the culprit, but so far, they had nothing tangible. A grim atmosphere hung over the academy, tension pressing on everyone's nerves.
Lysandra knew she had to make a trip to the academy library in hopes of uncovering something about Caspian's past. She spent hours sorting through old records and dusty tomes, searching for any mention of him. Just as she was about to give up completely, she stumbled upon an old diary belonging to one of the former academy students.
As Lysandra read through the pages, a tragic event from years past unfolded before her eyes—an incident that had left a scar on the academy. Piece by piece, she began to connect the dots of a story that seemed intertwined with Caspian's history. She realized that he might not be just an ordinary student but someone with a complex and troubled past.
With each revelation, the shadows of suspicion grew thicker around Caspian. Little did Lysandra know how dangerously close she was getting to uncovering the truth—and how precarious her own position had become in this deadly game of secrets and revenge.
