"Lelith! Lelith, where are you? Come out!" Martina shouted as soon as she got home. She searched the house up and down, and finally ran towards Lelith's office on the third floor.
Nora looked at the shoe prints on the floor and cursed, "Martina the dog, running around the house without even changing your shoes!"
"Oh my...it's only been a while since we last met. Why do you miss me so much?" Lalith came out of the kitchen with a rolling pin in her hand.
Martina heard the noise and ran downstairs again. She took off her shoes as she ran and threw her boots into the hallway. Then she ran to Laelis impatiently and said seriously, "Laelis! Who is Anahita?"
“This…”
Laelis showed a lewd smile, and seeing that Martina was anxious, she deliberately kept her in suspense to whet her appetite.
"Anahita? If I remember correctly, she seems to be a goddess worshipped by the residents of North Asia."
Martina was so anxious that she was a little incoherent: "It's not this! It's that Anahita who was with Helitos!"
Laelis didn't say anything, just stared at Martina and smiled.
Little Potato watched her from the side, shook his head and complained, "This devil is really bad, full of evil!"
Lailisi glanced at her and smeared the flour on her hands on Potato's hair.
This completely broke Aliana's defense, and she started to freak out: "Ahhh! I just washed my hair this afternoon!"
Reiner patted Lelith's waist gently and urged softly, "Just tell her. Look how anxious the jailer is."
Lelith nodded. She always listened to Reiner.
"Come on, come on, for your sake... Anahita is a young magician from North Asia, eighteen years old. Her father was a North Asia soldier who died in the war with the South Asia Kingdom when she was seven years old.
Her mother was a dancer. It was said that when Anahita was sixteen years old, she was taken advantage of by a drunk man while performing in a tavern. When she tried to argue with him, he was beaten severely.
She had been overworked before this, and she didn't survive the injury and died on the third day." Lelith shrugged after she finished speaking.
Reiner had long been accustomed to Lelith's account-opening investigation.
"You're so fast... Thank you, Lalith." Reiner sighed.
Laelis shrugged: "No, I'm also half-mother to Helitos."
Reiner continued, "Also, Anahita's mother passed away two years ago. North Asia has long been our territory. Do you remember what happened to that drunkard?"
"Of course I remember. I was the one who handled that incident myself. It was simple: life for life. I hanged him."
"You handle it?"
Laelis nodded, a smile on her face. "Yes, actually, I've known Anahita for a long time. After her mother's funeral, I gave her some money to live on."
Martina touched her chin and sighed, "I didn't realize you were quite humane."
The corners of Lelith's mouth curled up slightly. "You're overthinking it. I don't care whether she lives or dies. But as a manager, it's very important for me to establish a positive image in the hearts of the people. I won't miss this opportunity."
Aliana nodded with a look of disgust. "That's right. That's a rather devilish answer. Not a bit of humanity at all."
Reiner continued to ask questions: "How did Anahita meet Helitos?"
