trucy noticed apollo hesitation
'What's wrong, Apollo! Go get him!'
Apollo snapped out his trance, he needed to focus, no matter how hard it might be to hear the truth
'...Right. Leave it to me. Allow me to refresh the court's memory. Six months ago, Kristoph Gavin was charged with murdering a "mysterious traveler"'
'I remember him quite well. Shadi Smith, was it? Poisoned in a Chinese restaurant... Tragic'
he said sadly
'...The details don't really matter right now. What matters is... that traveler was Zak Gramarye!'
the entire courtroom was shocked into silence, apollo glanced over at trucy, worried on how she might take the news, to her surprise, she simply looked at him
'...... What is it, Apollo?'
he blinked'...Huh?'
she smiled reassuringly, which was ironic, if anything he should be the one reassuring her
'Keep going! We'll talk about it later!'
"Did... she already know?, ..did mr wright tell her or..."
his thoughts were cut off when he heard the judge cry out to the court in confusion and bewilderment
'Someone please explain this! ...Mr. Justice! Can you explain this?'
Apollo quickly nodded, he needed to focus on now, he'll worry about it later
'It all started seven years ago... ...The great magician, Magnifi Gramarye's death started it. Magnifi Gramarye's death, and his student, Zak Gramarye, the suspect. Whoever defended Zak in court successfully would be famous beyond belief. ...Thinking that Kristoph Gavin did the unthinkable. He forged evidence'
'...Drew Misham?'
th judge guessed, apollo shook his head
'Actually, it was his daughter, Vera, who really did the work. You took precautions when you had that forgery made, didn't you, Mr. Gavin?'
he said, glowering at him, kristoph said nothing in return
'Precautions...?'
the judge asked confused, klavier spoke in, explaining
'...To keep people from talking, of course'
'That's when you planned your poisoning of the forgers'
apollo nodded, klavier then chimed in, backing him up on his claims
'Atroquinine... ...applied to a commemorative stamp'
'But, luck was on Mr. Misham's side. The bomb didn't go off'
the jduge nodded, now understanding
'His daughter...! She saved him by taking the stamp... I see!'
apollo nodded
'...But that wasn't the only bomb he set up'
'The Ariadoney nail polish, ...of course!'
'You noticed something when you requested that forgery. When Vera Misham is nervous, she has a bad habit... ...a tendency to bite her nails, That nail polish... was her "good luck charm". It was his insurance'
the judge looked confused
'Insurance?'
'As long as she lived quietly at home, there was no danger to her. But what if she had to go outside!?'
