“Lady Amarantha, is Lady Alanis Fauna truly your niece?” asked Keith Griffin as he slammed the table

“What a temper young man.” Commented Lady Amarantha as she calmly  sips coffee.

“Just answer the question.” Keith Griffin

“I heard you’re one of the judges during the Xyrus Academia’s Trial of Fire. Did my niece impressed you that much?” Lady Amarantha

“Stop your bnllshits old woman, I know you’re hiding something!” Keith Griffin

“I heard my niece ranked 9th on the overall rankings, is that enough reason to agitate you this much?” Lady Amarantha

“I know you know the reason why I’m reacting like this!” Keith Griffin

“Hmm? I really dont know.” Lady Amarantha answered with a business smile

“How much do you want? Give me an Arbiter discount.” Keith Griffin

Keith Griffin only wish to know if Alanis Fauna is the Seventh Arbiter, Black Butterfly.

“I really cannot help this time. My hands are tied.” Lady Amarantha

“So you’re in a difficult situation huh? Tsk  That’s understandable since this concerns Black Butterfly. Who would want to mess with that monster.” Keith Griffin

Lady Amarantha simply smiled without confirming or denying his words.

“Tsk. Your silence is enough to confirm my suspicions. Anyway, you didnt know this because you weren’t there during the Trial of Fire, but Alanis Fauna is beyond us. She’s probably the strongest in all of Solas.” Keith Griffin

“Do you see now why I value her dearly?” Lady Amarantha

“I dont think you understand what kind of a monster you brought upon us, Third.” Keith Griffin

“Oh? Then please surprise me with your evaluation Sixth.” Lady Amarantha

Amarantha Fauna is aware that Black Butterfly is strong. Despite her young age, she’s probably already at Level 9 or Level 10 of Mortal Realm.

But she’s wrong.

“Black Butterfly, that woman, she’s in the realm of legends. She’s a Dragon Realm Spiritist.” Keith Griffin stated in an alarmed voice.

A tea cup fell in the floor.

“W-what?”

“I’m sorry, I wasn’t able to help.” Alicia

“It’s fine.” Leona answered. She didn’t wake Alicia up because she judged that the situation was dangerous earlier.

“The Kosen Police took the woman, what will happen now?” Cornelius

“They will interrogate her, we just need to wait.” Damon

“Is the father and son okay?” Leona

“They’re just fine. Mr Hisuka is with his son now.” Alfonse

“This case can be considered solved.” Damon

“Why would you say that?” Cornelius

“Do you really not know the answer?”

“No.” Cornelius
