You completely failed to address his concern - how do we know whether or not any damage is done? Believe it or not, people lie.
The Regent stands and his eyes glow deep orange.
"Kind sir Zack, there are those who speak ill of you, and wish you harm. And I have repeatedly silenced those voices, because I believe YOU to be a man of serious intellect and a great asset to this council, if you are indeed innocent, and should you be guilty, I would be most pleased to chase you and hunt you down honorably, because I enjoy that sort of challenge.
I say this not because I want something from you, but to voice my respect, which others can vouch for as being quite real.
Sir, if Kennigit targets someone and it does no damage, this lends a note of credibility to Seon's claim that he took no damage. It does not prove him innocent, but it establishes unequivocally that Kennigit's spell attack can cause zero harm to an innocent.
That means there is no basis for accusing Seon. None.... the entirety of the case against Seon is that Kennigit targeted him and the spell was successful. In his own words, this is the entirety of the case against Seon.
And he has retracted that same accusation because, even he knows, that if he can target an innocent and there will be no damage done, it means he has obtained no actual evidenciary support that Seon is a Demon.
All he's done is target a random person. That is all. That's not a case, that's a random and baseless accusation.
I know you understand this, and are fair-minded. Because I believe you to be honorable and wise enough to admit when logic dictates a certain course of action.
I trust you concur, but if you do not, I trust you to be able to articulate a reason why non-evidence can be used as evidence here. It is not a reasonable course of action.
Now then, there may be other reasons to suspect Seon. And, perhaps, we do not NEED reasons to suspect Seon. If you wish to lynch him anyway, I approve of that action, because if he is guilty, lynching him on no evidence is even stronger than lynching him with false flag evidence. It suggests that you're definitely not in league with Seon.
So, by all means, leave your accusations where they are. But make it clear, you're accusing Seon
just because, not because Kennigit is able to target him with a spell that might do nothing to others. That is actually a far more reasonable thing to do, and
I have no objections whatsoever to that.
Seon is not at all clear. Voting him is entirely appropriate. But testing Master Kennigit's abilities seems wise to me."
