The royal family asks Jaile to help with the interrogation of Circuz and Baron Savas, they wanted to make sure nothing goes worse than it is right now, having a hero being a murderer without a good reason is a bad thing and maybe he was without his weapon, but he still can be dangerous.
"We will interrogate Circuz and Baron Savas, and it will be easier if we have your power" said the king.
"Okay, I want to know why he never talked to me in the fight apart that he is a quiet person" said Jaile.
"As you wish your highness also I want to know how a low noble could have a large number of underlings without being noticed by the people before" said Mida.
The royal family, Jaile and Mida and the commander of the royal knights, whose name is Leo Kaner but still was unknown by Jaile go with them, Leo have light brown hair, a well cared beard with a mustache and sky blue eyes, a well trained body for a 40 years old man and was wearing his silver armor with some white lines in it. First, they got to the proclaimed hero Circuz, he was chained in a dark cell with a plate full of food and a jar of water still to the tip.
"Talk, why you tried to kill hero Jaile and who is behind this" said Leo with an intimidating voice.
"......." Circuz never lets a noise go out of his mouth.
"Talk!" Leo shouted.
"I know you will not talk, that means I need to use methods with more violence to make you say something" said a serious Leo, his voice was no one of joy or disgust, it could be said that it was full of professionalism, no more than that.
In the room Jaile with the ZX armor and Mida were in the cell with Leo and Circuz if something happens, while the royal family were in the room next to them, maybe they want to have the help of Jaile, but they never wanted to made her see the torture methods the country have, but now that she is now there it was too late to lamenting asking her help.
"Stop" said Mida.
Leo was going to cut Circuz with his sword, but Mida become uneasy when she saw the complex face that Jaile was making, so she decided to at least delay the inevitable making a weird excuse.
"First I want to see if he is being controlled, see his eyes and tell me what color is" said Mida.
Leo still being the commander of the royal knights can't go against the orders of Mida and because in a sense the excuse was a valid one that will save the affected person if it is true he is being controlled.

"They are red" said Leo.
"(Lucky)" thought Mida.
"His normal eye color is supposed to be purple, not red, that means he is being controlled by dark magic, a beginner spell that made the person obey any order the caster made, it is strong but curable, he is lucky that is not an advanced spell, then it would be almost impossible to bring him back" said Mida.
"Then calling a priest is necessary and in the meantime, we will interrogate the traitor" said Leo.
After calling guards to bring a priest they go to another cell identical of Circuz, in this one contain Baron Savas, but unlike Circuz he was not silent, actually, he was laughing.
"Hehehehehe" laugh the Baron.
"Talk, who is your leader?" asked Leo.
"Hehehehehe" keep the Baron with his laugh.
"TALK!" shouted Leo with all his energy.
The Baron stopped laughing, but still, he has a smile on his face, it was so creepy that an ominous feeling could be felt for his laugh.
"You couldn't stop them, they are ahead of us in everything" said the Baron.
"We will stop them, now tell us his name" said Leo.
"Who told you it is a he?" asked the Baron.
"...Is she a woman?" asked Leo.
"Who told you it was a she, who told you it was an adult, a kid, a human an elf, no one told you that, we only refer to "him" as that person, who he or she is, no one knows, that person did something to me and now all of you fall in that person's hand, now is time to end my part" said the Baron with madness in his voice.
While Jaile was observing the interrogation she feels that something was strange, the creepy laugh told her that, but her fears come true when she saw the Baron pressing his teeth together, at that moment she hears a click sound coming for the Baron.
"Magic shield around him now!" shouted Jaile to Mida pointing to the Baron.
Then an electronic clock-like sound come for the Baron, it was coming inside him, the next moment an explosion would happen if not that Mida complied with Jaile's desperate shout, the magic shield contain a half of the total magic power Mida have, thanks to that the explosion could be contained in the magic shield.
"What was that" ask an astonished Leo.
After the explosion what was left of the Baron was a cremated piece of meat, with something in the center. Jaile being of a peaceful world and one where she only fought with machines only she couldn’t keep with the view of scene as grotesque like now, so Jaile involuntary wanted to vomit, thankfully she was in the armor so neither a fluid or food go out of her mouth, still, that no means her discomfort was not seen by the commander and sorcerer there.
"P-please, s-someone g-go and-huk!.....go and see the thing in....his......chest" said Jaile still with trying to calm down her disgust.
Leo go to the piece of meat and take out the piece of metal and in the process he discovered that what he thinks it was a piece of metal is actually some sort of strange thing with little "ropes" that was inside the Baron, he shows it to Jaile and when she sees it, her expression change of a sick one to a horror one.
"T-things are w-worse that we e-ever imagine" said Jaile with fear.
"You know something about this" ask Leo holding up the piece of metal in his hand.
"Something no magic can replicate, a type of technology made to sweep everything into its fire range, that was a bomb" said Jaile horrified.
