"What do you mean by 'the next step'?"
Emperor Clevo put down the dossier in his hand and looked deeply at Double Leaf: "Conviction? Or trial?"
"Neither, my dear Majesty." Double Leaf smiled, her eyes narrowing behind her glasses into a charming crescent: "We cannot hastily convict a duke who carries a noble surname, or a lord who reigns over a ninth of Violet's territory, even with such clear evidence. Every person here is well aware of this, as am I~"
Emperor Clevo nodded gently: "Please continue, Miss Double Leaf, but avoid beating around the bush. We have witnessed your cleverness quite enough. Now, everyone in this room just needs a clear idea or direction, if you aren't willing to let us do the tasks for you."
"Alright, alright, you just want me to get straight to the point, right? No problem." Double Leaf cheerfully nodded, but just after putting away her playful demeanor, she exaggeratedly sighed: "I thought you were quite a humorous person, Your Majesty."
