"Well, if you think about it there is one answer which which makes sense"

Phoenix had started to say

"Surely if the king picked the little girl who didn't have any luck with sprouting, then he would have initially wanted that to be the case, right?"

Ernest had nodded

"Then, surely he would have given the children of the land either dead seeds or fake seeds in order to see if any of the children would lie about it and see if they would change, or swap, their seeds and plants for others in order to try and make the 'biggest impression' on the king"

Phoenix slowly started to saying and explaining more to the best of his ability - after all, he still was relatively new to the concept of puzzles.

"Alright, alright" The prison guard started to say

"You've passed the 'test' for now, I will let you enter and see your future client; but be careful, I won't let you get up to any funny business"

"Yes, yes I get the point. I won't get up to any funny business, I'm merely a lawyer" Phoenix wright smiled and laughed nervously - of course he knew that something was bound to happen, but he didn't dare to say anything to the guard in front.

Subsequently, Ernest and Phoenix slowly made their way to the prison holding cells where Katrielle was being kept; it took a while to get there because Phoenix was, well, being Phoenix and was getting lost a lot of the time; how do I know this? Well, I'm the writer of this story~

*ahem*

Anyway, it took them a little while to get to Katrielle, but when they got there, Kat looked over in surprise as she didn't expect to see him at all - never mind him being her lawyer.

"What are you doing here exactly, Mr Wright?" Kat said still in a bit of shock

"Well, Miss Layton" Phoenix replied - "I was merely reading the local newspaper when I heard Ernest here talking about how a "Layton" had been accused of the crime of killing the prime minister. Ergo, I thought it was THE Professor Layton, but I soon realised that it was you"

He chuckled and smiled nervously to try and avoid the fact he didn't even know that she existed.

As a result of this, Katrielle just laughed and smiled

"Well, I certainly did not expect to see you in person" She looked down

"I only heard tales of you from my father when he was with you in Labyrinthia, but here in London? I definitely did not expect that"

Ernest smiled in response

"Well, he's here to help you, after all!"

"Well, I need you to tell me EXACTLY what happened last night...otherwise we are going to get nowhere here..."

Phoenix said with a calm but also assertive smile

And soon enough, Katrielle and Ernest both started to describe what had happened that fateful night...
