"I am ready to cooperate with the investigation."

Graeme Shale was ready to answer her questions.

"Very well. Then my first question is,"

Joan placed both of her hands on the desk.

"The red knight named Latham had proved his credentials as a graduate from the academy of Ewiah, which rid him of most of my suspicions."

"I am not convinced. Weren't you tipped off by the excessive number of Red Knights that were working under him?"

"They claimed that the Khril family was worried about the constant attacks from the bandit groups. Once again, I didn't question it because their leader was extremely persuasive."

"Hmm. The Khril family. What do you know about them?"

He twirled the left part of his mustache upwards.
