It is not a very difficult thing for Meyrlion to bring everyone back to the lab, of course, this transportation would also apply to all his captured hostages.
He has been spent all his life in perfected his time and space magic techniques. All he needs is only determination and image of his destination. All detail related to magical circle or Sigel has been remembered by every neuron in his body.
In the blink of the eye, every hostage has transported back to the lab.
Jack is just finished making a cup of coffee, when suddenly Meyrlion appears out of nowhere and scolding him, "Now looks at how pleasant your lifestyle is, while I struggle to risk my life against intruders... tsk!" Meyrlion chuckling his tongue with an annoyed face.
Jack laughed whole heartily. The aroma of his hot coffee has just spread everywhere. "Wait for a second, I'll prepare a cup of coffee for you..."
"No, I want one in a big mug,"
"It will make your stomach rise a revolt against your body health..."
"I do not care"
"Okay, okay wait for a second," Jack laughed. "Seems like you were just being proposed by your arch enemies..." He cannot hold his laugh.
"Damn you, Jack, shut up!"
"Here, your coffee in a big dose..." Jack handing over the coffee he just made to Meyrlion, still with a big grin drawn in his face.
Without hesitation, Meyrlion gulps it down until satisfied. "Give me your clove cigarette..."
"So, what's the happened, bro?" Jack asked while offering him a pack of a clove cigarette.
Meyrlion told him everything happened while enjoying his coffee and cigarette.

"So, that's what happened," Jack said after Meyrlion completed his story.
"I think it is a very high priority to know who Princess Diaz is..."
"I agree with you, bro. We should know the potential risk that hidden beneath this incident. There is a high chance that all your hostages are the member of some military force from other countries. You can imagine how the elites of our country will react if this incident leak out. We also will not be able to control what kind of countermeasures that they will scheme. And this will lead to the worst ending, an unknown war will soon break out."
Meyrlion put a grim face. "I think, the best things we could do know is to extract any information related to Princess Diaz and then seeking the truth behind their action. Due their action has broken the border law of Magetan Duchy, I think the Duchy has the right to sue them or their country."
"I agree with you bro, let's localize this issue into local Duchy problem. We still have full control of this matter. All we need is just real support from Arch Duchess of Nindya Titania, your mother. I believe she will be backing you up hundred percent"
"Agree, now how about we proceed with the interrogation procedure?" Meyrlion ask.
"Give me few minutes to prepare the facility, bro"
"Take your time, Jack"

There were a lot of tons of information related to the interrogation procedure on the internet. But it doesn't apply for now. All that Jack able to do was to fully rely on his memory, whether it was from the movies, books or legal document.
Basically, interrogation or also called questioning is interviewing as commonly employed by law enforcement officers, military personnel, and intelligence agencies with the goal of eliciting useful information. Interrogation may involve a diverse array of techniques, ranging from developing a rapport with the subject to outright torture.
The long history of the human race on earth were full of a countless harsh method to gain the required information from the interrogated object. This was a double-edged sword, while the harsh method was proven to be an unproductive and unreliable method for gaining information. This method also has a greater risk to destroy the normal mentality for the interrogator office and moreover for the interrogated object.
The modern interrogation was part of a study in human nature. This concept was believed based on human behavior. Most of the human being is more likely to talk to people who appear to be like us. Once we start talking, it's hard for us to stop. Once we start telling the truth, it's harder to start lying. There are some methods to repeat the same question repeatedly and do some cross checking with various statement or reality.
So, Jack thought of a different approach. Now he prepared such a suitable room for those specific purposes. According to his memories, the physical layout of an interrogation room should be designed to maximize a suspect's discomfort and sense of powerlessness from the moment he steps inside. The psychological manipulation begins before the interrogator even opens his mouth.
As far as Jack remember, the most important thing to consider when building or setting up a new interrogation room is microphone placement. Good audio is key to any interrogation. The microphone should be mounted on the ceiling in the middle of the room or directly over where the interrogator officer will be sitting.
Those things should be followed by reducing background noise. The best effort Jack could do was placing carpet and a drop tile ceiling to reduce noise from bouncing around the room. The noise will absorb into the carpet and the fiberboard material rather than echoing on drywall and tile. This will improve the sound quality of his interrogation recording.
After that Jack installs two cameras on the interrogation room. This way, the recording will include a scene-view and a face-view. Jack install his overhead camera or scene-view between 6.5' and 8' from the floor. The camera view will include as much of the room as possible capturing the interrogated person, interrogator officer, and door.
Jack almost forgot for placing the camera behind the door. This is bad. So, he changes the position, not mount the camera where the view will be blocked when the door is open. Then the second camera being installed about 4' from the floor and directly across from where the interrogated person will sit. This will ensure that the camera will get a close up of facial expressions to include in Jack's interrogation recording.
The rest are removing any unnecessary photos, wallpaper, mirrors or busy furniture from the room. Jack also installing a soundproofing material. He is so lucky, everything he need has been already stocked in the lab's warehouse.
Lastly, Jack also installing a good lighting system, including a second light installed overhead to provide light to the entire room. This is exceptionally important to provide a nicely recorded image.
An hour later, everything was set up and ready to be used. The list of question has also been prepared, write down by Jack from his recent memories about interrogating prisoner of wars.
Meyrlion cannot stand not to be awe. He is whistling and put a satisfied smile on his face.
"Well, let's start from the most dangerous man first," Meyrlion put a step into the room while taking the list of question from Jack's hands.
A magical circle fo Sigel appears out of nowhere in his left side. Then he uses his left hand enters the magical circle then pull something out of the circle. That is a male mage knight without his limbs. Then Meyrlion put a magical seal in his forehead to disabling his magical ability.
"Let's have some chat from the heart to heart honestly and openly. It is very pleasant if we can build constructive communication that is positively beneficial for all parties. Isn't that right, friend? Have you ever taste coffee? Or do you prefer liquor or even LSD?"
That male prisoner is answering with a very frightened attitude. "Please... spare my life, Sir.. please.." his body shiver.
