Shirley's POV. Imperial Court, Imperial Mainland.

While Kei and the President are investigating Ulley Village, Gildan and I travelled to the Empire Mainland and made our request to the top officials of the Empire and the Emperor himself.

Emperor: And who is the one backing up this claim? We know of Prince Gildan as you are with him.

Gildan: The other one backing us up is the current head of the Ragnvinr Clan.

Empire Official: Sir Tristan Ragnvindr!?

Shirley: No. It's not Sir Tristan, he's already dead.

Empire Official: Then who is this impostor claiming to be the current head of the Ragnvindr Clan?

I showed them the Kei's locket bearing the crest of the Ragnvindr Clan.

Shirley: His son, Kei Ragnvindr.

Empire: Wait, that's the crest of the Ragnvindr Clan! How did you-

I opened the locket revealing Kei's family photo.

Shirley: This is my proof. A family photo of Sir Tristan Ragnvindr, with his wife and son.

Empire: That is certainly Sir Tristan, so he settled down to a faraway village, huh. But how did you get that?

Shirley: This.

I showed them the picture of Kei and I when we were still kids.

Shirley: I know Sir Tristan and his family. They took me in when I have nowhere else to go, I am witness to their kindness.

Empire Official: Wait, if you say that Sir Tristan is dead and his son is the current head, that means-

Gildan: His son is attending at Granseed Academy. He is one of us, one of the Seven Knights.

Empire: !!!

Empire: What!?

Shirley: Your majesty, Kei Ragnvindr also requested for further investigation about Nemo, as he is the only one who knows him more than anyone else.

Gildan: So please, Your Majesty. As the prince and a friend of Nemo, I'm also requesting further investigation.

Empire: .............

Empire: Then I hereby declare, through the request of Kei Ragnvindr and Prince Gildan, an edict to be made.

Empire: Due to the lack of evidence on this case, Nemo's execution must be put on hold, until proven innocent or guilty.

Gildan: All right!

Shirley: Thank you, Your Majesty.

Afterwards, the Emperor gave us the edict and we went back to Granseed as fast as possible.

Gildan: All right, all that is left is......

Shirley: What did Kei and the President found about Nemo.

Gildan: I hope one of us make it in time.
