Valeria gave a gesture for the others, and Susie and Elara explained what they found to him.
After a moment, Zara finally made her appearance, walking out of the shadows. "No evidence of wrongdoing. Let me explain…"
Marcus had reappeared at some point, adding his own notes after.
"I see." After taking in all the information, Lumi bowed to Mika. "I apologize for the intrusive investigation." With that, Valeria sheathed her sword and bowed as well.
Following them, the rest of the Knights bowed.
Mika sighed then shook her head. "Oh, don't bow, don't bow." She waved it away. "You all were infuriating at first, but I understand, I understand. This is important, you can't afford excessive niceties."
After Lumi straightened his back, he directly stated. "You are being framed."
"You said what?" Mika's eyes widened. "What?"
