Caladium Starlight mentally divided his answer into quotes to make it easier for the listener to understand what he was talking about.

First, I am interested in the accusation that students of NAILS were taken hostage by me. What does this mean and what is it based on?

— This means that some of them wanted to leave the academy, but could not do so, and those who tried disappeared only to return as morally devastated individuals. It is based on the words of the students themselves, but mainly Aorih Ttrab, the son of an aristocrat from Levia, who drew my attention to what happened. If such a respected person asks to release, I repeat, release his son from captivity, and then this son and his classmates confirm this state of affairs, then there is little doubt about the truth of what happened.

Secondly, the accusation of the murder of Dion Villa - one of the students who died during the April incident, "and other students". Who are these students? How did I kill Dion Villa?

—Ignatius Warlong and a guy from Eolia named Sisnemis - his body was found by Rhododendron on the first day of his visit to Alma. I don't know how they were killed, because a full-scale investigation is impossible at this stage, but the time intervals coincide with the addition of the name "Futaba Starlight" to the family register. How should I react to the fact that a new "queen" suddenly and quietly appeared in our family, while students are disappearing from the academy where she de facto has absolute power?

And thirdly, let's also deal with what was heard here from "Rodik" - about the "queen who is leeching off the treasury". Is there a single episode where I used the kingdom's coffers for my own purposes? Has a single coin settled in my pocket? Maybe I forgot about it?

— A detailed investigation is needed to give a detailed answer to this question. However, in my position, it was necessary to act decisively, and therefore I did not have time for this.

— Not really, haha, although I like her lessons and creative activities, — Leyla laughed, — I received a painting as a prize in a competition last month, and Ixor once gave me a record.

— Oh, yes. I completely forgot about the competition. It's strange that Mana didn't win with her outfit. I didn't know we had prudish students. "I think she would make good money in a brothel."

— You've completely confused me... And I've confused you too! ..Mm, let's go to Rainbow first. I heard that they donated all their goods to us for the competition, but promised to bring a cool batch of new items in early October. I wouldn't want to see an empty store there after such great help from them.

At "Rainbow", the girls found an empty store and a somewhat puzzled look on Lilibet Varnish's face.
