「Let's take a step back and clarify,」 Sylas said. 「So, the grand duke has nothing to do with this war?」
「I told you from the beginning,」 Eldira replied, exasperated.
Her answer didn't match what Sylas had been told. He recounted the count's version of events, detailing how they were supposedly in a conflict stemming from a series of incidents. As he spoke, Eldira's face turned redder and redder with anger. When he mentioned that the count had supposedly bargained for the elves to teach him how to make magical artifacts in exchange for reparations, Eldira couldn't contain herself any longer and screamed.
「That's a lie! How could we teach something we don't even know ourselves!?」
「You don't know?」
「Of course not! Those who were captured are hunters and warriors! Do your human knights forge their own swords?」
