— I'm sorry, but I'll abstain, — the Taimanian replied after reviewing the petition, — this issue has clearly already been discussed by the teachers, who know more than we do. And if Her Highness allowed Aliduum to join the ranks of students, it means she considered such a decision to be correct. Therefore, there were reasons for it. Without knowing these reasons, it is too early for us to draw any conclusions. Disagreement with this decision by any of us is not just a lack of trust in the newcomer, but also a lack of trust in Her Highness.

Hearing this, Varya scolded herself for being too trusting. Obviously, the restrained and reasonable Leila could not have referred to the authority of Her Highness in such a situation after the incident with Carvia; this argument was simply incredibly strange now. Varya underestimated this demon... Perhaps not all the students are under his control, but he managed to place spies here and there. What to do? They weren't taught how to deal with such things in the monastery...
But if Michaela gives the signatures to Her Highness, who, of all the teachers, clearly suffered the most from the dark magic of the monster, she will put herself and all the signatories in danger.
Alright, they've practically given away their plans anyway. Perhaps it's pointless to try to pretend. Varya silently signs Michaela's petition, making a note to talk to her immediately after the picnic ends.
