"Still, I have a feeling that Lord Bonefaz might be stalling for time, hoping that we get bored and leave. Well, while I wait here for his arrival, you should investigate the locale... it seems like some sort of festival or a mercantile day going on, though I don't remember hearing about any. See if you might get something from the passerbies and students." The Captain moved a step closer to the group.
"Move in groups if possible, though. For a long while now, the university militia is keeping an eye on us." And indeed, whoever would look to the left, would see a trio of uniformed macemen - they were alternating between giving passing glances to the visitors, and bluntly staring at Captain Astleich or people from his group.
"You must be Captain Astleich, correct?"
"That's right."
"Sergeant Siegfried Bonefaz. My boss couldn't see you and the Headmaster is currently at a meeting. What brings you here?"
"You're Lord Bonefaz's...?"
"He's my uncle. Got me the job. So what brings you here? I'm a busy man myself." Captain Astleich spent few minutes recalling the happenings of the last one-and-half chapter, and because everyone keeps up with the IC thread, it does not need to be repeated.
"...I see. I will send men to bury the bodies. I shall report this to the local militia, too, so they keep their eyes open. I will ask my uncle to see you as soon as possible."
"One more question, if you don't mind?" The green-haired man's stare obviously betrayed the fact he didn't like it. "You mentioned that your 'boss' is away?"
"Captain Oislef? Yeah, he's on an errand to... Wyrmpeak, I think was it. Escorting an important parcel. Anything else?"
"No, thank you." The Captain waited for Siegfried Bonefaz to get away before turning part-ways towards Shaelynn.
"I would love to know the magic that lets one man simultaneously deliver a parcel while also visiting his family. How about you, Miss Shaelynn?"

"Let's move."
"Greetings, Captain Astleich of the Reich Army. I wish to inquire whether you could ask Lord Archibald Bonefaz for an audience, in my name? We have urgent matters to discuss, including report of an assault on the way here."
"I see... can you ask your superior to come, then?"
"His assistant, then. Surely someone in charge is currently available." The maceman glared at Captain Astleich, smacked his lips, and then grumbled.
"Elegant statue." The Captain commented, which seemed to displease the maceman.
"Pleases me to hear that, Mister Jann." The Captain turned to his team.
"It doesn't seem that we will find anything here. We should resume our trip to Goveron University."

"It's might be more than Abado. It was a false flag operation that aimed at discrediting the Reich by planting Reich-like weapons on the massacre site. We've managed to foil that plan. Governor's agents found the workshop that supplied them, and was located in the Blumhart catacombs. It was destroyed, however, and now we're en route to Goveron Univeristy, for its current headmaster, Archibald Bonefaz, might be involved with the rebels." Captain Astleich rubbed his chin.
"Probably the faculty too... but why Reich's own high officials would plot against it? Who else is involved, and are there actual Overseaslanders behind this? Well, the Governor and I hope to find out. Are you with us, Mister Jann?"
