Taken Aback

After the shenanigans between Basil, Tinuviel, and the Elders, which had gone unnoticed by Cyane and his second-in-command, Giles; the meeting regained its intended pace.

Basil abstained from speaking, allowing Tinuviel to carry the talk to the direction she intended. Cyane was sharper than she had expected however, so the process was slightly arduous.

Still, in the end, Cyane fell for her lies; in fact, he even drew himself into it. She got him suggesting the idea she wanted to suggest even before she did; which, of course, was on her favour.

"As a Knight, I won't be able to help in terms of tracking people by their Mana, so I will leave examining the bodies to Master Basil here," Cyane stated. "However, I will have to ask you to show me where the happening took place."

The place where the tragedy had occured was basically the place where the Elves had encountered the Mythical Beast. It was near the den of said Beast, which the exact location they didn't know yet.
