'As for what I saw... I saw nothing, That night, I was invited to sing on stage, and this I did. I did not return backstage after the second set, Then I was led by the police to Mr. Gavin's dressing room, and told to wait there, That was where I learned that something had happened... But I wasn't told the details'

'Hmm... I must say, you sound wonderful just testifying'

the judge said, honestly apollo had to agree, her voice even in English was enchanting, it was liquid gold and honey, soothing, warm, never goes expired

"I hope he was too distracted to hear what she was actually saying..."

he thought to himself, klavier grinned as he snapped his fingers

'There you have it. She saw nothing that night. Now we can only pray that the defense has the sense to admit defeat. ...And refrain from detaining her here longer than need be'

he said, trucy nudged him with his elbow

'Wow, you just got badder, Apollo! Way to go!'

she cheered, grinning ear to ear, apollo shot her and klavier a glare, growling under his breathe before the judge banged down his gavel

'Very well, Mr. Justice. Keep it short and sweet!'

"Lamiroir wouldn't talk to me the night of the crime. She must know something, and I've got to find out what!"

as apollo read over the testimony, he took out the brooch from his pocket and said

'I'm sorry Lamiroir, but I'm having trouble believing you, You remember this brooch, do you not?'

klavier raised a brow at what was in his hand

'Why that's Lamiroir's. She was wearing it for her song'

Apollo grinned slyly

'...Care to add that to the testimony, Prosecutor Gavin?'

Klavier blinked at him

'Wh-What...?'

'This brooch was found after the murder took place. ...At the very scene of the crime!'

this was one of the few times klavier lost his grin

'What...!?'

apollo ignored him as he faced Lamiroir in the eys

'...Lamiroir. How did your brooch get backstage if you did not go there yourself? And, as Prosecutor Gavin has just told us... ...you had been wearing it during your performance that night!'

Lamiroir didn't say anything but her eyes widen slightly at his words

'What is the meaning of this? Lamiroir, please explain!'

the judge said, she went silent for awhile, but then spoke in her beautiful Borginese language, luckily, klavier was able to translate

'...She says, "English is quite difficult."'

Apollo semi-glared at her in dismay

'That trick's not going to work here!'

Lamiroir spoke Borginese again, and klavier again translated

'"Your forehead may be large, but you are a lawyer, truly. But... you have missed one important fact."'

he said with a little grin tugging at his lips, apollo ignored the forehead comment as he asked the real important question here

'What now?'

'"In fact, at the time of the incident... ...I went backstage, but only for a moment."'
