Interrogation
When Regulus went to the meeting room, he found a woman sitting on a chair with a gloomy expression on her face. She looked so lost in her thoughts that she didn’t even hear Regulus entering the meeting room.
Thus, he cleared his throat a bit loudly to make his presence known to the woman. And when she looked at him, he gave her a subtle nod and asked, “Are you the one who was there in the dungeon when the assassination happened?”
The red-headed woman abruptly got up on her feet and bowed her head. And she answered the kind-looking man, “Yes. It was me.”
Regulus pointed at the chair that she was sitting on and asked politely, “Why don’t you take your seat? You don’t have to look so alarmed. I just want to ask you a few questions.”
The woman gave him a nod and sat back down on the chair.
Regulus also took a seat that was in front of that woman. And for a few seconds, he looked at her and tried to read her.
