The last 4 Months

As he looked at the red-haired girl who sprawled in the cage, Arthur believed she must have a clue, a hint about the mystery of the golden knight's death.

The state she was in when Arthur found her could only be described with one word: miserable. The conspicuousness of her weak condition, coupled with the torn clothes that barely stuck on her body, told him about the rough and difficult things she must have been through.

At first, Arthur wanted to directly bring her to the palace.  However, when he took another look at her, he couldn't bring himself to do it, as her condition was extremely critical. Therefore, he decided to bring her to the physician he trusted.

As she was somehow involved in the case, Arthur asked the physician to put her in the basement after the treatment. She would be kept there until she awoke.
