326 Blackrock Python

Grand Duke Francisco didn't seem content with having just one suspect, "By the way, Edwina. I've heard that your alchemist is not on good terms with Adolf. They had a fight at the banquet the other night, no?"

"About that," Grand Duke Edwina said cautiously, "When I first heard about this murder, I immediately called Master Bennett with my communication circle. My own daughter Carrie was with him, and she can confirm that he's at least one day's journey away from this place."

"He was deep inside the Double Moon Forest. It wasn't just Carrie. Lady Muriel, Lady Morrie, Lady Jenny, and Lady Mary were all there to prove his innocence, so how could you point fingers at him?"

"Edwina!" Grand Duke Francisco suddenly raised his voice, but spoke in a sad, helpless tone, "Please, forgive this old man for his imprudence, but I've just lost my son to a killer, and I am more than upset. I want to find him as soon as possible."
