Chapter 762

Kayneth: "Snake's Magic Eye, I've only heard of it before, I didn't expect it to really exist."

Shishigou Kairi: "And it actually assimilated with Albion's vision, this kid named Kuro is too lucky."

【Inorai: "Oh, did my disciple think of something?"】

【Aozaki Touko shrugged her shoulders and said: "No, I just think it's very clever; I am convinced in every respect."】

【Ashira: "However, Luvia's claim has obvious errors."】

【Luvia: "What?"】

【"I'm very sorry, Dad—it was me... it was us who did this on our own."】

【After hesitating for a few seconds, Ashira spoke again: "Luvia, just as you said, we have been in contact with the ground since we teamed up in Albion, but the person we killed ten years ago was not Heartless, but Kuro."】

【Luvia was stunned for a moment; that feeling was like being hit by a cross-counter punch thrown by the opponent with the determination of a draw when fighting to the last round.】

【In this way, Luvia's claim indeed does not hold water from the root.】

【She could perceive from the other's expression that this was not an excuse found in desperation, but a confession made by the other out of painful judgment.】

Rin Tohsaka: "Luvia-san looks very shocked too."

Shishigou Kairi: "It seems the Second hasn't had time to tell her all his deductions before he went offline."

Kayneth: "Now is the time to test this girl's ability to adapt to changes."

【Ashira: "Because in the incident ten years ago, Heartless might have been too successful. And, even if not a Lord, losing two department heads of major departments at once would cause too much chaos."】

【Luvia: "You are talking about the death of the previous El-Melloi, right?"】

【Ashira: "Exactly."】

【Luvia: "So, you thought that killing Heartless's right-hand man Kuro could stop him from continuing to leap upward?"】

【Ashira: "... Yes, exactly."】

【"However, you obtained results that were contrary to expectations in some sense, and beyond expectations in some sense."】

【Luvia's expression turned ugly: "Heartless, who lost his right-hand man, not only lost his status in the Clock Tower but also disappeared directly."】

【Her heart was already panicking; what did she get wrong?】

【She wanted to discuss it with the Second immediately, but the other party hasn't responded until now.】

Shishigou Kairi: "Haha, Lord, does this count as you saving Heartless once?"

Kayneth: "Hmph, that cunning fox, does he need me to save him?"

Kayneth: "Even without my death, it would be impossible for him to die at the hands of these naive disciples of his."

【"Although the direction of the conversation is a bit beyond imagination, is it over?"】

【Magdaniel interrupted their conversation and said: "Of course, my daughter's crime is obvious. Since she took away Dr. Heartless's disciple, she must prepare equal compensation."】

【At this point, Luvia's mind was full of despair.】

【Inorai: "What do you mean by equal compensation, Magdaniel?"】

【Magdaniel: "I said, she is my daughter. Then, this is the mistake I made. It doesn't matter whether she acted on her own or was instigated by me. Because she is my daughter, I will of course take full responsibility. I fully admit this mistake."】

【Inorai: "Oh, responsibility. Then what is the specific method?"】

【Magdaniel: "Heartless's Modern Magic Department is now managed by the El-Melloi faction. Then, I will entrust the voting rights of this Grand Rank Resolution to the El-Melloi faction."】

【Luvia: "Wha..."】

【This sentence directly left Luvia speechless with surprise.】

Caules: "I thought he would draw a line with Ashira directly, I didn't expect..."

Fiore: "It hasn't reached that point yet; Ashira's matter is not a big deal."

Rin Tohsaka: "But this uncle is really straightforward, handing over the voting rights directly."

Waver: "Because the current situation is no longer on his side. If it continues, Lord Yulifeis will definitely use this matter to attack him; his goal can no longer be achieved."

Waver: "This is a typical retreat to advance; he used only a few words to write off his daughter's guilt and threw all the pressure onto Luvia."

Waver: "However, I'm afraid he didn't expect that he originally brought Ashira as a trump card, but didn't expect that he would fall because of Ashira instead."

【Magdaniel: "Oh my, if it's not needed, I'll take it back."】

【"..."】

【Luvia was very distressed; clearly, she had already placed the other party's crimes before them, but the person pushed into a predicament now was herself.】

【Of course, this compensation is far more favorable in terms of conditions. However, the weight of the right to dispose of it freely entrusted to her by Magdaniel overwhelmed Luvia's spirit.】

【"Then what about the accomplice of Heartless... what happened..."】

【Rufleus said: "According to the conversation just now... the accomplice is this big idiot... this guy actually called the absurd plan to create a god for mages... a good idea..."】
