Bab 116: Rumors 2

"What rumors?"

"That you are a part of the Dark Church," she replied, a conflicting expression adorning her face.

"....What?" I asked, frowning at her words.

"Yes, since morning, I have heard at least three people talk about it," she replied, nodding her head.

"They were saying that you joined them before arriving at the academy."

"What the heck?" I mumbled as I massaged my head.

Why are there rumors about this now? There weren't any rumors about this until yesterday.

... until I met with Jaquab.

'Ahh, fuck my terrible luck.'

Did that bastard spread rumors about me being a part of the church after I didn't accept his offer?

Or did the royal family do that?

'There goes my image.'

Even though these are just baseless rumors with no confirmation, I am sure this will affect my reputation even more than it did previously.
