Emile, Nalesha, Renaus and her sister Renal, plus me, a total of five, now sit in a ball around the spacious carriage.
I coughed lightly twice and tapped the board I found under the carriage -
"First, I'd like to ask Nalesha to give her testimony -"
"Yes! "
Nalesha responded positively, then hesitated again.
"About that ......it should be considered an invasion of privacy, right?"
You knew it was an invasion of privacy and still went to peek at your father's diary ......
I suppressed my desire to comment and spoke in a soft tone towards her -
"It's okay, we are trying to find out the truth, it's for your father's own good, he will understand. Think about it, if your father knew that you had done so much for him, you even tried to betray his privacy to help him untie his heart, would he be happy and delighted?"
"Well ...... you seem to be right!"
"Right, right, then don't cover it up, just speak it out loud."
I tried to ignore the strange looks from the other three ......
Nalesha stopped squirming and boldly told the truth -
"My dad just mentioned in his diary that he spent many years in Elysis back then and made a lot of new friends."
"What are the names of the friends?"
"Well ...... names ......"
Nalesha's eyes became confused.
"Your dad never mentioned before?"
"He should have mentioned, but I didn't care too much about it ......"
......
Being so inattentive to this extent, I now wonder if your purpose is to help your father ......
"But! But! My father wrote about his first love! A beautiful woman called Nalisa!"
So, you only care about your father's romantic story! I feel like your mother was being cuckolded!
"There was a love token or something, but it was thrown outside the walls. I searched for it for a long time in the middle of the night! And I almost got caught because of this ......"
You can't just search it openly? You think you can still find something that was lost decades ago!
"And then, there is other one of my father’s friend called the young city lord ......"
That is obviously not a name, okay!
But, does the young city lord ...... mean Sicya?
No, no, no, the young city lord of that era should refer to the current city lord Cyric.
"Well, that's all, after seeing this diary I secretly took the three thousand spirits ring and ran out ...... ah!?"
Nalesha covered her mouth and hid her right hand behind her back.
Three thousand spirits ring ...... the ring on her right hand?
It seems to be an interesting item that can change one’s gender ......
But since Emile doesn’t show much interest, I shouldn’t care about it either
I turned to Renaus and Renal -
"Next is our prisoner duo, please start your defense."
"What are we going to say, sister?"
"Say what you want to say most, my silly sister."
"Lord Molly Ann! I want to eat buttered bread!"
I slapped the board in my hand -
"No even the red bean bread for you if you guys try to make any trouble again."
"...... Okay ...... okay."
They scowled and told me about Cyric, the city lord -
Poker face ......
Coldness ......
Refusal to communicate with people... ...
And very handsome ......
"Well, that's all!"
They clapped their hands in satisfaction to tell me that they had finished.
"Emile, keep them in the carriage for the next two days and only allow them to drink water."
"Wait ...... wait! There's more! We have other information!"
"...... Oh?"
I crossed my legs and looked at them with my chin up -
"So speak, and I'll consider feeding you guys something if your information is useful."
"...... Eh ...... right! This carriage! This carriage was actually made to communicate with Griffin exclusively! It was not used after the holy war decades ago!"
While looking at my disgruntled eyes, they continued to talk nosense--
--The city lord was surprised to see us
--The city lord had sent someone to crush Finlan before
-- The story that can't be left unsaid between the city lord and Chief Noiad
"Okay, Emile, don't even give them water for the two days they're locked up."
I ignored their wails and began to express myself -
"I heard from the residents of Elysis that the elf race was hated since the holy war as well."
"Also, Cyric and Finlan seem to have known each other in the old days, and were in the same organization as that Nalisa."
"...... That's it, all witnesses are published! Next, please let Emile, the referee, to summarize, and then declare the ruling result-"
"Emm......"
As Emile promised, she lowered her head and pondered.
As she pondered, Nalesha tugged on my sleeve -
"Het, should we really let Emile make the judge?"
The maid duo also looked at me in confusion.
"Well, don't look at Emile as if she's stupid, she's still quite reliable at times like this."
I looked at the pensive Emile with slight expectation.
She rubbed her chin and shouted out excitedly -
"I know! The elf king had his eye on the city lord's wife and used the holy war as excuse to have a duel!"
"Sorry, I am wrong, Emile is an idiot plus a fool, she is not reliable at any time."
Emile curled her lips with dissatisfaction -
"What's wrong, if you're not satisfied then add Finlan to the story. Like ...... Finlan, Cyric, and Nalesha’s father fell in love with the same woman, then they went to a duel, and in the end both the city lord and elf king failed to win over Finlan, and then both kept silent to the public."
"...... hahaha."
In fact, sometimes I admire Emile, she can think really wildly with a little information, which is also a miracle ......
"...... that's it! Cyric and other three people plus the woman are a group of terrorists! They planned to subvert the whole Elysis! Then the mastermind elf king became angry and went to war with the Cyric the city lord! The woman at the center of the love triangle had to follow Finlan! Well! Since it has come to this point, that woman is the old woman Shia!"
"Hmmmm, great deduction, how about next let's take a break with a cup of tea and then go confront the elf king, the man behind the scenes?"
While I was sneering at Emile, I was completely unaware that her blind deduction was infinitely closer to the truth ......
However, as I said, no matter what conclusion we had launched, it was absolutely right to first find Nalesha's father, the direct participant of the holy war back then.
-- Peeking out from the carriage, we can already faintly see the image of Griffin Jungle.
There, what will we encounter ......
