"Yes, Lord Lombardo has been summoned to the Inquiry Committee…"
"… Committee of Inquiry!? … Please explain in detail what you mean"
"Yes...... you remember the collision between Pope Roenglin and the United Kingdom of Raidham in Esta six years ago now?
"Oh, sure. In the middle of a millennium when the two armies were staring at each other, the dragon suddenly appeared, and you did everything you could for the atrocity, didn't you?
"Yes. Did you know that, at that time, General Gorkos, the head of the Seventh Legion of Pope Roenglin, died?
"I know. You lost your life in a raid by a thousand years of dragons, didn't you?
"... Yes. It should have been..."
"... Rodemul. Let me get this straight. I still can't talk."
"Yes, I'm sorry. Now let me be frank."
"Oh, please"
"As a matter of fact, an order was made earlier by Ermul administration secretary Eduardo Müller to urgently appear before the government. And the reason for that... is the assassination of General Gorkos."
"Become!?... assassination charge!? Father!?"
Gaius was surprised and stole a look at Elle beside him as he curled behind him.
Then Elle was more surprised than Gaius, and he was losing his complexion.
(Stupid!? I must have erased all human memories except Lombardo and Shester involved in that case, right? Yet Lombardo is charged with assassination...)
Elle was astonished with a stunned expression, his eyes bowed and his head dripped.
