The fact that Mofan had mentioned the name implied that he was aware of the incident. They had also heard that Philip had become a traitor and was captured in New York.
"You can ask the people of the Sacred Hall of Liberty in New York if you suspect me," Mofan said.
Mofan did not mention that Li Yu 'e was the one who had told him about the incident. These people were already biased against Li Yu' e. If she was the one who had done it, he had no idea how Headmistress Perry, Shirley, and Edith were going to treat her.
"We didn't suspect you, but …" Ceylan let out a sigh.
"Humph, her father is a traitor, and so is she. Like father, like daughter!" Headmistress Perry harrumphed coldly. Her tone was filled with disgust toward them!
"Did she do anything?" Mofan asked.
"Let me tell you." Brianca said to Mofan when she saw that Ceylan and Headmistress Perry were unwilling to talk about the incident. "Do you remember how I told you that the Alps Institute was founded because of a Forbidden Mage?"
"Mm," Mofan nodded.
"The Forbidden Mage is from the Parthenon Temple. He's an elder who was persecuted by the Parthenon Temple. We can't mention his name. You only need to know that the Parthenon Temple has been our enemy since the Alps Institute was established. Parthenon has suppressed us countless times throughout the history of the Alps Institute. Therefore, the Alps Institute has an iron rule: every student who graduated from the Alps Institute is not allowed to have anything to do with the people of Parthenon, let alone join them! "Brianca said.
Mofan opened his mouth. He wanted to say something, but he did not know what to say.
But with that said, things became much clearer.
"Yuria was in the same batch as me. Her cultivation was only slightly lower than mine, but her primary Element was the Psychic Element, and her secondary Element was the Healing Element. She was Headmistress Perry's student before being taught by Miss Ceylan … She happened to meet a Sage of the Parthenon during an adventure. She learned a lot from the Sage, and the Sage was interested in taking her in as his disciple," Brianca said.
Yuria had an almost fanatical pursuit of magic. She didn't really care about her position. She just wanted to learn more and explore more. Parthenon's mastery of the Psychic Element and the Healing Element was unrivaled by any faction. As such, Parthenon became the place that Yuria wanted to go to the most.
"So you executed her?" Mo Fan looked at these people and asked.
"How is that possible? We aren't lunatics from a primitive society!" Headmistress Perry yelled.
"We didn't do that. We all liked her. Her dedication to magic always impressed us. If every student of the Alps Institute was like her, we would surpass Parthenon in no time," Ceylan said.
"Then how did she die?" Mo Fan asked.
"She killed herself," Edith said.
"Oh? A person with an endless pursuit of magic would never end their own life. Did you force her to do it? "Mo Fan asked Headmistress Perry.
Headmistress Perry was infuriated. She pointed at Mo Fan and snarled, "Why would I do something like that!?"
"Judging from how you treated me the other day, I believe you're the kind of person who would do something like that," Mo Fan said.
"Mo Fan, Headmistress Perry isn't as bad as you think. Maybe it's because of what happened to Yuria. Headmistress Perry is stricter with the students, just because she's worried that the students will cross the line," Ceylan said.
Mo Fan glanced at Ceylan and Perry. He believed Yuria was the favorite disciple of the two lecturers. He could imagine how outstanding she was to be favored by the two lecturers at the same time.
"We didn't force her to do anything. After she came back from the training, I learned that she wanted to join Parthenon from someone else. I scolded her and told her to reflect on her actions in the cave under Faerun Waterfall," Headmistress Perry said.
"That's not enough to kill herself, is it?" Mo Fan said.
"Humph, she completely changed after she came back from the training. She didn't listen to me and ran away on her own. She even went to see the Muse and signed a Soul Contract with Parthenon without my permission, pledging her loyalty to them! That traitor, that traitor! " Headmistress Perry almost jumped to her feet. It was obvious that she had been holding a grudge against Yuria for a very long time, and it still showed no sign of dissipating.
"As a matter of fact, I already discussed it with Headmistress Perry. If Parthenon was able to provide her with a better environment for cultivation, we would be more lenient. We would secretly remove her identity as a student of Parthenon so she could join Parthenon with another identity, at least not as a student of the Alps … but she ran away from Faerun Waterfall and joined Parthenon when she still had the Seal of the Alps Institute. She even told everyone about it. The whole Alps Institute was utterly humiliated. Even the Headmistress, who usually doesn't care about the affairs of the Alps Institute, was infuriated …" Ceylan said.
"She was indeed in the wrong," Mo Fan agreed.
"She's such an evil creature! She's the greatest humiliation of my life!" Headmistress Perry swore.
"We don't understand what she was thinking either. As a matter of fact, she was never like that before. She was friendly and respectful to everyone when she was focused on her cultivation," Ceylan glanced at Brianca and said.
Brianca nodded. There was a time when Brianca was envious of Yuria. She was on par with her in terms of cultivation, yet she was able to get along well with everyone.
"What else could it be apart from being bewitched by the women of Parthenon!?" Headmistress Perry said.
"Shouldn't she have a bright future ahead of her? Why did she commit suicide in the end?" Mo Fan asked.
"She came back on her own later. Perhaps the Wise Woman lied to her, or perhaps she was using her to make the Alps Institute a laughingstock. She even lied to us after what she did. She told us that she never joined Parthenon, and that she only ran away to tell the Muse that she couldn't fulfill her promise. She had to listen to us and stay in the Alps … she's full of nonsense! "Headmistress Perry said.
Headmistress Perry either didn't mention it at all, or kept talking about it endlessly. She had been keeping it in her heart for a long time.
Ceylan realized that Headmistress Perry was being too emotional. She added, "She told us that she never joined Parthenon. To prove that she never did anything to humiliate the Alps Institute, she cut open her wrists and let her blood flow into the soil of Roa Garden …"
"What's Roa Garden?" Mo Fan asked.
"Our Forbidden Mage has cast a Psychic Spell on Roa Garden. When someone swears an oath with their soul and drips their blood into the soil of Roa Garden, the Roa Flowers will bloom. Of course, the prerequisite is that she is telling the truth, and her Soul Imprint is from the Alps Institute," Ceylan said.
Ceylan paused for a long time at this point. Mo Fan listened attentively and didn't interrupt.
Ceylan had been calm just a moment ago, but when she was about to describe the next scene, tears welled up in her eyes. Her amiable face looked like she was about to cry, but she held herself back. Even after a long time, Ceylan still couldn't finish her sentence.
In the eyes of Headmistress Perry and Ceylan, Yuria was like their own daughter. No matter how angry they were at her betrayal, no matter how much they despised her for her lies, it was too difficult to cut off their feelings for her. Now that they brought up the past, they showed more regret and grief. Headmistress Perry was the same!
"She dripped her blood into the soil of Roa Garden, but the Roa Flowers didn't move …" Brianca knew that it was difficult for the two elders to continue, so she continued to tell Mo Fan, "She was lying. Everyone looked at her and was convinced that she was lying."
"She looked like she couldn't believe it. She continued to drip her blood into Roa Garden. The Roa Flowers didn't bloom. She just stood there … "
Mo Fan's heart skipped a beat when he heard Brianca's words.
He could imagine the girl called Yuria standing on the only soil that could prove her innocence. She allowed her blood to flow, and her face gradually paled, but her expression was still determined!
"Didn't it bloom?" Mo Fan asked.
"It didn't. It still hasn't bloomed. "
"Could something have gone wrong with the Roa Flowers?" Mo Fan asked.
"No, this is the power of a forbidden spell. It can't go wrong … Besides, she's gone. Right or wrong doesn't matter anymore," Brianca said.
"Indeed." Mo Fan nodded.
The room was silent for a long time. Even Mo Fan felt a lump in his throat when he heard the story, let alone those who had experienced it. Headmistress Perry and Ceylan clearly cared more about Yuria's life than her betrayal. It was obvious from their expressions of regret. If they could go back to that day, if they knew that she was waiting for the Roa Flowers to bloom, they would have stopped her. They would never have let such a life slip away.
…
Yuria was the one with the deepest grudge. However, Yuria was already dead. Even if she had turned into an evil spirit, there was no way she could have done those things, including poisoning Herr Casa.
"What does this have to do with Herr Casa's Curse?" Edith and Shirley finally asked.
"Aren't you curious about how Amelia died? As expected, Herr Casa's life is much more valuable than Amelia's Gold Essence in your eyes," Mo Fan said.
"How Amelia died?" Brianca asked in confusion.
