Gewen who was observing the two men while they discussed what happened, slowly raised his hand. His face looked very uncomfortable.

"Maybe... Emmelyn intentionally sent Edgar away using one excuse or another to get rid of him," said Gewen haltingly. "Look, I know you don't want to hear this, but what if it is the truth?"

He added, "Emmelyn was accused of murdering the queen. She has the motive, the murder weapon and she was running away when the guards caught her. She also sent Edgar away..."

Gewen looked at Mars seriously. There was determination in his eyes. "I believe I have the obligation to provide you with an unbiased opinion. You are at the state where you can't think straight."
