"I'm sorry to accuse you all for something you all wouldn't do, but, you should understand my feelings and suspicions of my sister's disappearance. My guard took you all here because you are all expert magic users which may lead to the disappearance. I know you might not be the person who did this. But I need clues to find her. No matter how long it takes, I will find out." The suspects all nodded. "I will be asking you questions in this office. May suspect one please come in."

Suspect one.

"Mellisa, I am so sorry that your in this mess but I need to find out what happened. So, where were you at the ceremony?"
"I was settling Dazzle in the palace farm, so I was a bit late when I got in my seat."
"I remember that before you left a few years ago, you said you were going to learn magic barrier skills, am I right?"
"Yeah, pretty hard."
"What is your magics level?"
"I think level six."
"Thank you, Mellisa."

Suspect two.
---
"Aaron, haven't seen you in a while! I hope this is not one of your nasty pranks, is it?"
"Of course not! I wouldn't do such a thing like that."
"Ok, that's fine. You'll need to answer some of my questions, ok?"
"Go on."
"Where were you at the ceremony?"
"Sitting in the audience."
"So then you saw the lights turn off randomly? I remember you always pranked us with that trick."
"Yeah. But I couldn't turn off the lights while I look the other direction or focusing on something."
"What is your magics level?"
"Five."
"Thanks, Aaron."

Suspect three.
---
"Liza?"
"It's Lisa. Get it right."
"I'm sorry, please respect the investigator and princess."
"Whatever... Just ask me the questions."
"Where were you at the ceremony?"
"With my parents, waiting for Christina to get crowned but someone was too slow."
".... I thought you didn't like her."
"I don't. I just... Like royal ceremonies and stuff."
"Fair enough. Christina said you make wishes?"
"Duh! But I have to super careful with them though. Once I wished for wings, I got paper-made wings stuck on my back." Princess laughed her head off. Then she got serious again.
"Ok, magics level?"
"Seven."

Suspect four.
---
"Mr. Sett, it's be quite long!"
"Yes, it's been very busy in the university."
"I see. Where were you at the ceremony?"
"In the crowd but I was late because I forgotten that it was the ceremony," Mr. Sett started to awkward laugh. "Sorry about that."
"It's fine, you just need a friendly reminder. So you are an expert in magics?"
"Yes. Level eight!"
"That's really high! Thank you for the honest answers."

Suspect five.
---
"Toronn! How's your world magics trip going?" The investigator exclaimed.
"It's been quite well. It's hard but it's enjoying, Princess. Aren't you asking questions leading to the disappearance?"
"O-Oh! Right!" She coughed for a change of voice. "Alright, where were you at the ceremony?"
"In the middle of the audience."
"You know your signature trick, right?"
"Yes, are you asking a proper question?"
"Yes, yes. How does it work?"
"A magician never tells his secret tricks." He winked at Princess and she laughed in response.
"Ok, magics level?"
"Seven and a half."
"I knew it!"

Suspect six.
---
"Aunt Felicia...?"
"Yes, dear? I know I've been a complete psycho when it comes to kids. But I swear I'm okay now. I took therapy and everything." She smiled-weirdly.
'Still creepy...' Princess thought. "I'm very sorry that your a suspect but we're not sure who did this and I'm looking for as much clues as possible. Is this understandable?"
"Yes, I understand."
"Good. Now, where were you at the ceremony?"
"Sitting in the back row...."
"What magic do you use? I never really knew."
"I can create buildings, objects, rooms, pretty much anything including building."
"So that's what you used to do," "Magics level please?"
"Six."

Suspect seven.
---
"Butler?" The princess called to Harrithen looking confused. He whispered something into her ear. Princess nodded as she understood what Harrithen said while he took off. "I didn't know you used powerful magic. But that's beside the point. Where have you been at the ceremony?"
"I was cooking the feast and preparing the table."
"What magic do you use?"
"I can read minds." Silence. The investigator opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. In a few moments to calm down, she said, "That.... is actually very surprising." He nodded.
"That's why I keep silent and never tell secrets. But don't worry, I cast spells on myself or others to forget the nasty secrets." Princess blinked as she was still surprised.

"Wow, big responsibility, huh?" He nodded as a reply. "Ok, moving on with the other question," "What is your magics level?"
"Eight." The princess gasped in shock again.
"Eight?! That's the highest level a low or middle class can get!" The butler nodded once again.
"Correct. My parents were high experienced in magic."
"That's all, thank you." He walked out of the silent room. Princess was still shocked with her eyes wide open.

"So sorry to interrupt, Princess, but how are some of the suspects lead to the disappearance? Some of them don't seem likely at all."
