dahlia didn't say anything to that, ..she had to words, phoenix went on to explain as to why she was such a liar, he took out his notebook as he flipped the pages

'you testified earlier that the bridge was already on fire when the murder was taking place in the garden, Which means if Maya had thrown herself into the river, it must have been from the Inner Temple side, near the bridge'

she nodded, grinning

'That's right! That's where she jumped from-'

'It's fucking impossible to jump into the river from there!'

godot raised a brow at him, drinking coffee from his mug, he'll give it to him, he was fast on his feet, the judge blinked as he asked 

'..Well, Mr. Wright? Ms. Hawthorne claims Ms. Fey threw herself into the river from the Inner Temple side. Do you have any evidence that refutes this claim?'

he took out the map, presented to the court as he explained as to how it was not possible for maya to fly herself off the river

'It's impossible to jump into the Eagle River from the Inner Temple side,  No one knows that better than this bitch!'

she growled as she looked right into his eyes

'What did you say...?

'you fucking heard me!!, eleven years ago, you jumped into the same river!'

dahlia shot up her eyes in shock, she really didn't think he knew that case, he pointed right at the area

'take a look at this overhead map! below the cliff on the Inner Temple side is a big rock shelf!

the judge squinted his eyes

'Oh... Ooooh! Y-You're right!'

'She wouldn't have reached the river if she had jumped off from there. In other words,  If she had jumped, we should be able to see her body in this photo!'

he pointed out, holding back a grin as he saw dahlia eyes widen in surprise, godot shook his head as he held his mug

'Ha...! So you figured it out!'

she growled her teeth at phoenix

'you...! Nooooooooo!!'

phoenix grinned as the court went crazy

'O-Order! Order!!'

the judge yelled out, but it was dahlia's voice that brought the court to silence

'You... You're just playing with me! Maya Fey's body is at the bottom of the Eagle River! There's nowhere else she could possibly be hiding!'

'Hoethorne-'

'WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!?'

dahlia yelled out, however, all he did was smirk at her

'oh you didn't hear me!, i'll say it again, hoethorne~, Maya Fey wasn't inside the Sacred Cavern. We know that she didn't throw herself into the Eagle River, there's still one other place she could be.'

dahlia shook under his gaze, ..t-their was no way he figured it out, the judge was as confused as ever

'Wh... What...!? What is this one possibility you are talking about...?

'Th-That's obviously a bluff!, So where is her dead body then?'

she challenged, and she regretted the moment she did, he smirked at her smugly to taunt with her as he spoke without any hesitation or doubt
