"The Holy Maiden Her Highness went out to investigate the case,"
"Is that so?" Xi Mu seemed to believe the woman's words, and his gaze softened, while Tina smiled, stood up, and brewed two cups of tea.
After inviting Xi Mu and Liliana to sit down,
"May I ask what business you have with Her Highness the Holy Maiden?" she asked with a gentle smile, seemingly unfazed by Xi Mu's recent intrusion.
"Mist is not the culprit in the massacre at Cardilon," Xi Mu stated concisely, and Tina nodded upon hearing this.
She picked up a teacup from the table and took a sip, saying,
"Indeed, I also believe the murderer is not Mist, but I… no, Her Highness the Holy Maiden, can't declare Mist innocent either."
Xi Mu frowned and asked, "Why not?"
"A verdict can't depend merely on what the 'judge' subjectively feels; there must be evidence," Tina explained. "Currently, all the evidence suggests that Mist killed the people with the intent of sacrificing everyone in Cardilon."
