Episode 124

***Arthur***

Arthur was grateful that Michi and Madi had been allowed to leave the room. Now he could speak without reservations.

Ame sighed and stared at him. "Now, it's your turn. What you say will determine your future. Be sure to be honest."

"Were you the one who actually took Ame's charge?" Hat Guy asked,

"I don't know how the princess found him. I went to her at her and the dowager queen's request. She said the kid was light, so carried him herself."

"Were you the one who took the key?"

"I did it at the dowager queen's request."

.Ame narrowed her eyes at him. "Sounds like you want to blame your boss. In my homeland, there were people like you. Fortunately, I never got the chance to encounter them in person. But when I heard of them, I was revolted. Blaming it on only taking orders is cowardly."

Art winced. This girl sure yapped a lot. "Is this torture?"
