Priest Elis' words made William and Lazarus breathe a sigh of relief. William had expected that Priest Elis wouldn't be able to lie. At least with Lazarus initiating, Priest Elis' confirmation should have been quite helpful.
"Then where is Arielle now?' Ronan asked Priest Elis.
Again Priest Elis just smiled, and Lazarus answered on his behalf. "The princess went out of the palace a while ago."
"What are you saying!?" asked Ronan in disbelief.
William glanced at Lazarus, hoping the man would not turn nervous. Maybe if it was him in Lazarus's shoes, William would immediately lower his head and reveal the true story. He had a lot of respect for Arielle. But he wasn't crazy to have Ronan beat him on the spot.
Priest Elis touched Ronan's hand, which already grabbed Lazarus' collar.
