Jerald told the Head of the Council what had happened with the Governor except for one small detail.
In Jerald's retelling of the story, the Governor just died too quickly. Jerald simply hadn't anticipated for him to die with only one Spell.
Obviously, the Head of the Council knew that this was bullshit, but the only other person that had witnessed what had happened was Shang, and she knew that Shang would have Jerald's back. The other people had been blinded by the light of the Spells, and they could barely tell what had happened since everything had happened so quickly.
Even more, the Governor had used a voice transmission to surrender since it was faster.
So, there was nothing the Head of the Council could do about this incident.
She simply had to accept that the Governor was now dead.
But that was still a good thing.
It was rare for a High Mage to die in the war, but it was even rarer for an actual Governor or Duke to die.
