Lie For Lie, Part III

Her bracelet was a unique design that didn't suit the aristocratic ladies, so other ladies soon recognized it.

"Oh, come to think of it, I saw the bracelet, too! I talked about the bracelet when Lady Aria went into the mansion. It was a strange shape, so it was noticeable."

"I was there, too! She said it was a bracelet from the Crown Prince. I saw her wearing it."

They were the young ladies who had been sarcastic about Aria's bracelet when she had arrived at the mansion.

'Why is the bracelet in Mielle's hand if it was in Aria's wrist until she entered the mansion? She said she went out right away, but when did she drop it? Moreover, didn't she know how she dropped the precious bracelet given by the Crown Prince? Did something happen for her to have to leave the mansion in a hurry?'

Everyone waited for her answer because the more they thought about it, the more likely it was that Aria would be at a disadvantage.

"Lady Aria, did you lose the bracelet I had given you?" asked Asher with a face of regret.

'Who would dare to regard him as the Crown Prince, who performed as plausible as Aria did?'

Aria replied with a face that she didn't know what was going on.

"It can't be! Mielle... I don't know what you're talking about... That's not my bracelet."

"This type of bracelet can't be common, but it's not your bracelet? A lot of people have seen it. I'm sure you dropped it in the hallway! You didn't even go straight out! It's no use lying!" Because this time it was true, not false, Mielle raised her voice.

So Aria raised her arm with a look that seemed quite unfair.

"What are you talking about, Mielle? The bracelet His Highness gave me is on my wrist like this...!"

Then Aria's slender wrist, which was raised to the fullest, was fastened with a bracelet like the bracelet in Mielle's hand. It was another bracelet from Asher.

'How come that bracelet is back on Aria's wrist...?' Mielle's eyes grew big as if what she was seeing was unbelievable.

"I don't know where you got that bracelet, but I never took it off my body for a second."

At Aria's lying, Asher helped her, saying a word side-by-side.

"... You did that as expected. Even if she wants Lady Aria to be the real culprit, how dare she present the bracelet as evidence? The bracelet was specially made for you, so there is only one in the world. I'm curious about the origin of the bracelet that Lady Mielle has."

Mielle's face froze because of his tone as if she had made a fake to make Aria into a criminal.

'It's really that shallow woman's bracelet!'

It was clear that the bracelet was dropped before she had run away with the Crown Prince that suddenly appeared. So Mielle wanted to pursue her claim, but Frey was also on the side of Aria, so sadly, Mielle's claim was denounced as false.

"I see. About the bracelet Lady Mielle claims... it seems that Lady Aria did not lose it and kept it, but... okay... now. I will check the two bracelets and make a fair judgment based on your claim."

Frey's words to judge fairly were very cold. Mielle's strength drained out from her legs, and she collapsed onto her seat. Finally, Isis, who had seen her disgraceful behavior, rose up from her seat and left the courtroom. Cain also gritted his teeth as he saw his sister who talked nonsense.
