Bab 1973: Me, Myself, and I

For a while, there was nothing but silence in the dark hall.

Then, there was more silence. 

Rain stared at her teacher with wide eyes.

'What did he just say?'

It seemed that she imagined that her teacher claiming to be the Lord of Shadows…

The Lord of Shadows — the mysterious Saint of Godgrave, the sinister sellsword who had offered his blade to the King of Valor, faced Princess Revel in the battle at Vanishing Lake, and decimated a supply caravan of the Song Army alone, sparing the lives of two hundred Awakened and Ascended warriors at Changing Star's behest.

That Lord of Shadows. 

'Wait…'

The Lord of Shadows who had saved the lives of Tamar, Ray, and Fleur!

…At Changing Star's behest. 

The situation was so shocking that Rain was struggling to form a single cohesive thought, but despite all its seriousness, an entirely frivolous memory surfaced in her mind instead of something important.
