The crux of the matter

Sheyan nodded to Reef's words and replied.

"Good analysis but not quite there yet."

Reef asked curiously.

"What else can you infer?"

Sheyan plucked a violet hyacinth and too a deep breath, allowing the unique and refreshing fragrance to diffused into his lungs. He then answered.

"Without a doubt, Melody's speech projected Glorfindel and Elrond as horrible individuals, am I right?"

Reef nodded.

"Yes."

"This shows that they didn't expect Melody to do so. Otherwise, a slight misconduct and they would've prevented her from ascending to the stage!"

Sheyan replied straightforwardly.

"We can deduce two clues from this. First, our silly Melody has become rather shrewd, else she wouldn't be able to masquerade her act seamlessly and deceive the masses, drawing the two old undyings into contention."
