"...Apart from the faction's results, the rest is up to those people to handle."
"First, there's Bozera Wood, because an ice magician was found imprisoned in the cell beneath his mansion.
Through verification, it has been confirmed that the traces of magic left at the scene of Crawford's murder came from this person.
Therefore, it can be confirmed that Bozera is the murderer.
According to imperial law, he will be stripped of his title, executed, and his family will be stripped of their titles."
"The ice mage?"
Hulim put down his teacup and interrupted,
"It's at Bozera's house after all."
"That's right," Alicia nodded. "Just as you speculated, Hulim, the 'investor' placed him somewhere we can easily find him..."
In fact, even if we don’t go looking for him, that “investor” will find a way to make him appear in our sight.
Hulim thought so in her heart.
After all, the "investors" don't know that we have directly deduced the identity of the murderer. It is very likely that they are preparing a plot for us to accidentally discover the ice magician, and then take the opportunity to draw out Bozera behind the scenes.
So,
Perhaps we acted too decisively, which may have led to some omissions in the "investor's" plan...
"Eh? Wait, that's not right. Isn't the instigator that Diodore?"
Mi Ke asked in confusion at this time.
"Why was Diodore only demoted to a lower level instead of receiving a more severe punishment?"
"About this..."
Alicia frowned and sighed.
“It’s because there’s insufficient evidence.”
"Insufficient evidence?"
"Yes, although we have those two letters, they were not written by him after all.
He can't be convicted as long as he claims that everything in the two letters is a false accusation against him. Furthermore, Crawford and even the 'investor' who could serve as witnesses are already dead, and even Bozera has no direct evidence to prove that he was instructed by him."
"The result is that even though everyone knows he did it, there's no way to directly convict him."
"Hey! This guy is too shameless!"
"After all, this is politics, so there's always some cheating involved."
Hulim answered casually, but suddenly thought of another person.
No, perhaps for those who truly hold power, these cheating tactics may really be just boring tricks...
"besides."
Alicia continued.
"According to the court, Marsim Lightye, who colluded directly with the 'investor,' appears to have committed suicide out of fear of punishment..."
"Committing suicide out of fear of punishment? That's a really convenient way to put it."
"indeed."
Alicia nodded. Everyone had guessed what exactly happened, but no one cared about it.
After all, this was the court's attempt to preserve its own reputation, not to preserve Malsim.
"Although Malsim 'committed suicide,' he still can't escape responsibility. The fault he committed is even more serious than that of Berzera!"
"That's right, the crime is betrayal..."
"From now on, the Lightye family will be completely expelled from aristocratic society."
"But these nobles who are colluding with Guros are actually nothing."
Hulim added,
"The biggest problem is the Gross themselves. It seems they are becoming more and more active."
"It's probably because the time for the Demon King to invade again is getting closer."
Alicia continued,
"Monsters around the world have become significantly more active in recent years. I even heard that many of those sealed away during the last war have become restless..."
"That's right. Gros has the ability to control monsters. Now that the monsters are active, their power has reached its peak."
"We must resolve this problem before the Demon King arrives, or it might become a deadly threat in the future..."
“… …”
The atmosphere in the room was a little heavy for a moment.
"Ah, by the way, Hulim, have you met all the graduation requirements now?"
Miko asked about academics.
"It has been achieved. The previous test in Professor Raylan Green's potion garden was the final one."
"That's great, we can graduate together this way. What are your plans after graduation?"
"Um... after graduation?"
Alicia thought for a moment.
"... I'll definitely stay in Langard, right? Whether as a member of the royal family or as a faction leader, I still have a lot of immaturity. Even for the sake of those who support me, I'll have to work harder in the future."
"Alicia is really responsible. I feel like you don't even look like someone my age."
"Is it because you are not mature enough, Miko?"
"No way, I'm fourteen years old too, I'll be a mature adult soon!"
“… …”
No, normal adults wouldn't describe themselves as mature...
"What about Hulim? What are your plans?"
"Me..."
After thinking for a moment, Hulim replied,
"I plan to continue training and become stronger."
"But as for the specific direction, whether to become a full-time adventurer or simply join an organization, this probably won't be decided in a short time..."
