Chapter 422: 422 - - I'm going to try to figure it out.

"So, you didn't put the poison in me. Is that what you say?

"Of course."

Ortó is staring at Sidi with a serious look in his eyes. She, on the other hand, is looking at him with cold eyes. The atmosphere is like fire and ice colliding, overwhelming us. Meek and the other elves are watching with bated breath to see what happens.

Suddenly my eyes meet those of the Elf King. He nodded slowly. He seems to be telling them to have it their way.

"And yet, you didn't seem at all dismayed when you found out that this dish was poisoned...?"

"Kk ......"

"It seems that you elves are really trying to take the lives of me, my husband, and Princess Meek. And even you, who are supposed to be protecting us. ....... It saddens me."

"I am here to protect you by order of the king. Certainly, I am responsible for the improper ingredients in today's dishes. I offer my sincerest apologies. I will do my utmost to find out who poisoned you. I know you may not agree with me on some points, but please step back to your room first."

He raises his right hand horizontally and asks us to leave. Sidi, however, is not intimidated at all and continues to speak.

"Before we do that, I'd like to confirm something.

"............"

"Do you still haven't caught Leila's killer?"

"...... Yes. Not yet.

"Can you even find a clue?"

"...... Yes."

Who performed the autopsy?

Kensi?

"The person who identified the scene of Leila's murder and determined the cause of her death. You didn't cremate her without anyone's knowledge, did you?

"...... I made sure of that."

"Is that you?"

Sadie's voice changed. He's angry. I'm ...... scared.

"Has anyone else checked in?"

No, sir.

"How vile!　You have stripped naked one woman who had the misfortune to die!　I was told that elves respect women, but what have you done!

"............!"

The elves have changed. They are clearly hostile toward us. They want to kill us. What the hell is she talking about?　I could see that he was aware of this. Ortó's eyes in front of me became small.

"There are things you can say and things you can't say!　I would strip Leila naked, for example!　That can't be true!　What in the world is your evidence for such a thing!　This is an insult to me!"

He turns quickly to the Elf King and bows. But the king does not change his expression at all and continues to look at Ortó. He slowly looks up, but remains frozen, staring at the king.

"...... Mr. Ortó."

Sidi speaks in a gentle voice. He turns his head slowly, but gives him a look that says don't talk to me, and quickly turns to face the king.

"You really haven't stripped Leila naked, have you?　Are you sure you want to believe them?"

"I do not understand what you mean. Sometimes you ask questions that are beyond my comprehension. Why should I strip Leila naked, whose life was taken from her?　And she is stained with blood. It is ...... impossible to touch her."

He explains in a biting manner, as if he were admonishing a child. His mood was one of a sense that he did not want me to talk to him any more.

"I understand. Now, let me ask you one last time. What exactly was the cause of Leila's death?"

Ortó shakes his head from side to side as if to say, "Give me a break. Then he opens his mouth as if it were a bother.

"Leila was stabbed in the side and left for dead.

"Right?　Left?"

"Left. Is that enough?　I am sorry to say that ......"

You heard me, didn't you?

Ortó interrupts him and Sidhi turns to me. She looks at the Elf King, then at Meek, then at me again.

"Master Linos, what did Mr. Ortó just say was the cause of Leila's death?"

"What ......?　As I recall, he was killed by a single stab to the left side of the abdomen ......?"

"That's what it sounded like, right?　That's what it sounded like to me, too."

Sidi giggles and looks at Ortó with the same expression on his face.

"That speaks volumes, doesn't it?"

"Hey ......"

"Master Ortó, you have just told me yourself that you are the culprit."

"E......"

Ortó is wide-eyed and surprised. Sidi looks at him with a cold expression.

"You told me that Leila was killed by a blow to the side of the head. Isn't that right?"

"............"

"How did you know it was a single thrust?"

"You can see that at ......."

"Even though he was fully clothed?"

"Le...... Layla was only covered in ...... blood in one place, so..."

"There was blood or ....... He lost so much blood that it took his life. He must have lost a lot of blood. Your clothes would have been stained with blood. How can you say it was a single thrust?"

"U......"

"Isn't it strange that you don't suspect multiple wounds?　The lives of our dear brothers and sisters have been taken from us. It is clearly unnatural that you would not at least have one of the women, not you, examine the wounds. Without doing so, we can only conclude that her death was caused by a single thrust, because it was you who killed her."

"No, I'm not. Not me."

Ortó turns to the king and says something to him. Perhaps he is trying to explain that he is not the culprit. But his panicked look is enough to convince the king that he is the one who did it.

"...... Ortó has told your father that he did not kill him."

Meek mutters in a small voice. That's true. How can I say that I am the murderer?

"It's not a good look.

Sadie's cold words echoed through the room.

"You killed our dear brothers and sisters to bring us down. You approached us, pretending to be on our side, to catch us off guard, to take our lives. Are elves a race that would do such a cowardly thing?"

"Shut up!"

Ortó's expression is distorted. A murderous rage radiates from his body. This is not good.

"Let him say it!"

At that moment, a light shot out from Ortó's arm, and a scorching fireball shot out.

"Sidi!"

I take her arm and pull her close. The flames came right at us.

"Ow!"

Without thinking, I hugged Sidhi and turned my back to the burning bullets.

Boom!

A dull thud echoes through the air.

"............"

I open my eyes in horror. There was the same view as before.

"Yeah, I'm okay. That's my boy, Mr. Linos."

The next thing I know, Sidney is touching my back. It seems that my warding has protected me from the attack earlier.

"Ugh!"

Sidhi suddenly hugged me tightly. She turns to face Ortó again with a big smile on her face and a serious expression on her face.

"Now all my questions are answered. I am sure that it was you, Mr. Ortó, who killed Leila.

"............"

He stares at us with a look of hatred in his eyes. Before we know it, the elves who had been waiting in the room are gathering near him.

"Mr. Ortó, I had guessed that you were the murderer from a very early stage, but I could not be certain about the murder weapon. But after seeing the attack, I am convinced."

Sidi looked around at the assembled elves and puffed out his chest.

"So, shall I tell you how Leila was killed?"

Ortó is breathing hard: .......
