The Empire of Reimia (3)

I'm coming.
After another day of classes, Parphinora found herself once again at the door of her mentor's office. Making sure he was ready to receive her, she entered:
-Good evening, Yuki. Not long ago, I heard a terrible rumor about your sister, and I would like to know how true it is. I apologize if you think I'm saying something inappropriate, based only on gossip, but I can't help myself – my heart won't be at peace until I know the truth. They say that when a young man confessed his love for your sister, she asked him to jump off the roof as proof of his love. And when he did, she felt no remorse. Is that true?

— The fact that a confession of feelings and the subsequent death of the young man did indeed take place is true, but I don't know the details of what was happening in the country at that time, as I was abroad. According to the official government statement, the young man jumped on his own initiative after being rejected. Was that really the case? Unlikely. But in any case, when I returned home, the whole country was shocked by the assassination of the emperor and puzzled by the preparations for the coronation of a new one, so despite the tragedy of this event, my attention was absorbed by completely different issues. As for Rynze herself, I will refrain from discussing members of my family based on our personal relationship with each other.
