Herasu looked shocked, sad, and was filled with disbelief after hearing the news.
Until he saw Pudd's body, he reacted exactly like everyone else but it didn't remove Kieran's suspicions.
Pudd was a young man who allowed love to get the better side of him but his teacher was not.
The first time Pudd got himself in trouble, Herasu came before Kieran and asked for forgiveness on behalf of his student.
Then, based on common sense, what would Herasu do after that?
Surely he would tie his student down and try not to let his student cross Kieran's path.
But the result?
Pudd not only appeared again during the Festival of Partners and he provoked Kieran yet once again.
It was quite unreasonable for such a thing to happen, let alone the so-called challenge.
