Chapter 588

Why not find an excuse to slip away and forget about it? Otherwise, you'll be exiled to the border sooner or later because you stepped into Kriper Castle with your left foot first.

Silval took a sip of black tea and coughed lightly:

"Hey! Pela, next time Lingbao comes home, could I invite you over for a visit?"

"I've got an idea!"

Pela straightened his back, his glasses gleaming with a resolute and fearless light.

So Bronya and Silval also became serious and adopted a listening posture.

Pela pondered for a moment, then said:

"Lady Bronya, have you carefully read what Lady Cocolia wrote? If not everything, at least do you know what she's writing about?"

"Not yet."

"Then let's take a good look. If we don't even grasp the existing clues, how can we uncover the truth? Also, pay attention to other details of Cocolia's life. Even the most mundane information, if sufficient, can reveal the truth hidden beneath the surface."

"Okay, I understand."

Bronya nodded in complete agreement. At the same time, she decided in her heart that she would definitely make good use of this intelligence officer after taking over as the Great Guardian.

Pela adjusted his glasses, unaware that he had been targeted by the next high-ranking leader, and calmly analyzed the situation:

"Although there are many possibilities, what we most want to verify right now is whether Lady Cocolia is suffering from a mental illness, right?"

"That's true."

"So let's assume she wasn't faking it, but genuinely forgot what she did before. There are two possibilities: one is intermittent or selective amnesia; the other is schizophrenia. Do you two agree with this deduction?"

"No!"

Bronya and Silval quickly shook their heads, while waiting expectantly for Pela to speak.

Pela a deep breath and smiled:

"Then let's test the waters."

How to test the waters?

"If it's amnesia, then it's just forgetting, but Lady Cocolia has remained unchanged from beginning to end. But if it's schizophrenia, then there are multiple different personalities, meaning that Lady Cocolia last night and Lady Cocolia today have different personalities."

Pela pushed up his glasses again, reflecting a wise light, and continued:

"Regarding this, Lady Bronya, you could try inviting Lady Cocolia to do something she did before. If she readily agreed before but now resolutely refuses, or even reacts violently, then... we can then lean towards verifying the possibility of a split personality."

"That makes sense!"

Bronya's eyes lit up, and she felt a sense of calm settle down.

Yes, problems always need to be solved.

Even if something is wrong with Mother, we need to investigate it thoroughly before coming up with a solution; there's no point in overthinking.

However, Silval raised an objection:

"So why don't you just ask her directly?"

"..." ×2

Wow, she's so brave— Bronya and Pela leaned back simultaneously, their lips twitching.

Please, that's Mother/ Great Guardian! Who would dare ask her to her face: Are you crazy?!

Silval her arms, raised an eyebrow dismissively, and said to the two young men:

"Leave it to me, I know how to lure her out!"

"Miss Silval, please calm down, this is really..."

"Alright, I've made up my mind! If you're sick, you need to get treatment. What does she think she's doing, dragging her mental illness into working? Who does she think she's impressing?"

Silval was furious, partly due to years of resentment, and partly out of genuine worry. The breakup years ago was due to something like schizophrenia; even if the reason was acceptable, she couldn't possibly be happy about it!
