I already gave the list to my father, so that would be his problem.

My problem was that I couldn\'t dump everything. The external forces that were not part of the family, and are hostile to us under the surface. Moreover, with too many people, I couldn\'t complete the list.

It matters not. The people that I missed were not of the family. As long as the family is stable internally, any attack from external forces wouldn\'t easily shake the family\'s foundation.

If anything happens, father can take care of it. I am only sixteen and should not be thinking about these things. I should put improving my skill levels or improving my rank on the agenda.

The only threats I should consider for now are from William and Elisha. I wonder how they were doing, ever since their plan to use eliminate me using Dorian went down the drain.

"Do you think this would work?" the girl asked the boy beside her.

"Don\'t be nervous, it would work", the boy replied.

The girls started to be pretty nervous ever since she learned about their pawn\'s death.

This is none other than Elisha, Magnus\'s fiance and the boy she was speaking to was William, the one who conspired with Dorian to kill Magnus.

It was due to William\'s enticement that Dorian dared to attack Magnus in the secret realm. Even with the system in his possession, Dorian was not on hundred percent sure that he could kill Magnus but what made him sure was William.

William oversaw Dorian\'s training for a month. Doarian followed him when the first semester of first year ended. In that time to earn Dorian\'s loyalty, William sent his personal trainer to train Dorian.

His growth was far higher than what it was in the first semester.

When the second semester started, William advised him to be low-key and not attract too many eyes. His decision was made on the fact that if Magnus learns that Dorian became powerful suddenly, then he would escape the fight before it can start.

The secret realm would be the best place for Dorian to get rid of Magnus without leaving any witnesses.

Dorian had no idea about professionals who could see the death of a person. So he believed William\'s words. William knew about these rare professionals. It is easy why he kept his hands clean and used Dorian as a pawn to get rid of Magnus.

If the academy or the Frostwolf family tries to see how Magnus died, then they would see that Dorian was the reason and he would be safe.

Even if Dorian accuses that William was the one behind this, there would be no evidence for the academy to pursue William. The Frostwolf family may try to cause some problems but in the end they are jst Viscount and William is the heir to a Count\'s house.

Without proper evidence, they can\'t even touch a hair on his head. That was his confidence, but everything went wrong.

Dorian kept his head low but was able to get a spot for the secret realm. There he was supposed to en Magnus but the opposite happened. Dorian got himself killed.

William didn\'t know at that time whether Dorian was killed by monsters or other students. If that was the case, there should be nothing to worry about but he was worried if the person that killed Dorian was Magnus.

There was a chance that Magnus learned everything from Dorian.

He has read a lot of stories where thick-headed villains spill everything out when their opponents are on the verge of defeat. It is their ego that makes them spill their plans. They wanted to be recognized by others and wanted to show that they were better and superior to others.

It was also something that brought their doom and destroyed their plans.

William feared that Dorian might have spilt the beans before his death. There was no way to know that but he knows of a way to know who killed Dorian.

If he was killed by monsters or other students, it was well and good. Though his plan failed, it won\'t be a problem. The only issue would be if he was killed by Magnus.

If it was indeed the case, whether Dorian spilt the beans or not, William needs to take care of Magnus as soon as possible.

His fears came true. Dorian was killed by Magnus.

William paid a lot to hire this rare professional, Death Seeker to know about Dorian\'s death. Though these professionals can\'t know what exactly happened, they can see who was the killer.

These rare professions may not have value in combat but not for the city guards. They were often hired by the investigative squads to find the criminals who committed murders inside the city.

Sometimes nobles would use them if a member of their family died under unknown circumstances.

These professionals are rare and hiring them would cost a fortune but sometimes money to spend would not be a problem for these employers. So though they were of no value for anyone in battles, they were pretty much in demand.

Though William found who killed Dorian, he couldn\'t do anything directly to Magnus. If he does, everything that he did before could come out and the losses he had to incur would outweigh the gains.

The best way to punish Magnus was by going to the academy with the evidence provided by the Death Seeker. This way he may not get rid of Magnus, but with such infamy his marriage contract would sure to be broken. He may even be exiled depending on the mood of the academy.

Whether he was killed or exiled, Elisha would be free from contract and he would be able to get her legally. All this time, every time he met with Elisha, was in private and it was kept a secret. The only times that he could meet her and not face any troubles was if they were attending the same parties.

Even then, they had to keep their distance or else things may go out of control.

If it was known that a noble child was sleeping with another noble child\'s fiance, then he would become an outcast in the noble circle.

Nobles may look down on commoners but they have some rules when it comes to other nobles. Stealing someone else\'s fiance would be frowned upon.

Only by deleting Magnus from existence or from the noble\'s circle can he gain Elisha\'s hand.

William promised his great-grandma that he would cause the downfall of the Frostwolf and Siren families. If Magnus takes the blame for killing a fellow student, then it\'s a big black mark that can\'t be erased easily.

He knew that there were cracks in the Frostwolf family. It was normal for a noble family. Which family doesn\'t?

The issue was that the cracks in Frotwolf were pretty large. All that is needed for the family to fall apart is a push and Magnus\'s infamy would do that.

The only problem with that plan was the academy would definitely suspect foul play if he directly reported the crime. So he decided to take a roundabout route.

He created a rumour and spread among the students. He didn\'t blame Magnus but other academy students for the deaths of the five students.

he knew that if the rumours grow, then everyone would believe that the students from other academies had a hand in their deaths. This would cause a rift between the students from the Royal Academy and students from other academies, which may lead to clashes and possible unnecessary deaths.

Though there were not frequent interactions between the academies, there is the secret realm that the first years enter. Moreover, third-year and above students would meet other academy students every now and then.

Many times, they would be on a similar mission. The once cooperative competitions might turn into enmity between them. Once such a thing happens, there would be no going back.

To prevent such an outcome, the academy would definitely use a Death Seeker to see who killed these five students. Once the result was known that their deaths had nothing to do with other academy students, everything would go to normal and rumours would die.

Those would be their thoughts but when they investigate, they would know that Magnus killed Dorian.

Magnus would be punished and it wouldn\'t be traced back to him. He would gain what he wanted to and his great-grandma would gain her revenge, though maybe partially. If she wants to destroy the Siren family, that would be only after Elisha marries him.

Now, everything was perfect for William.
