Juliette told that person to make it clear that the accusations against Leonardo were nothing more than baseless speculation and wild guesses. Such groundless claims had not only harmed Leonardo's reputation but had also cast a shadow on the name of the Holland family.
If Leonardo's name could be cleared, then those who had framed him, a member of the Holland family, would be forgiven. But if not, they would have to find out who was behind labeling Leonardo as a traitor.
The accusation of framing the Holland family was no small matter, and the people at the Interstellar Political Center started to panic.
After all, the Holland family was one of the most powerful in Snakehaven, and Joshua was the head of the Snakehaven Guard Corps—this wasn't something they could afford to take the blame for.
In less than a day, Gabriel received a response from the Interstellar Political Center. If Leonardo could turn in the record stone from the time he fought the enemy to prove his innocence, they'd clear his name and report his military merits as they should.
The record stone was embedded in every soldier's chest during battle. It worked like a surveillance device on Earth.
At first, it was meant to let soldiers leave final messages before death, but over time it evolved into a tool to document battlefield performance.
In Leonardo's case, the truth could've been revealed just by checking the record stone, but because of the interference from some higher-ups, they couldn't even get the record stone submitted before he was hit with the heavy charge of treason.
Gabriel felt both angry and helpless. If Leonardo had truly been just some regular guy with no backing, he would've had to live with that charge for the rest of his life.
Gabriel submitted the record stone along with the battlefield report he had written over the past two days to the Interstellar Political Center, then headed straight to the prison to see Leonardo.
Leonardo was in a heavy mood. He sat on the cold, hard stone floor of the cell, surrounded by silence, with only the sound of his own breathing echoing around him.
There was a trace of confusion and despair in his eyes. Faced with the current predicament, he felt completely at a loss, unsure of what to do.
He thought back on his past. He had no powerful family, no noble bloodline—just the status of a low-born semi-beastman.
Leonardo wondered, 'Is that really the reason I'm being treated like this, so cruelly and unfairly?' Rage and frustration stirred inside him as he thought, 'All I ever wanted was to grow stronger, to protect Mistress. Why can't they even tolerate someone like me?'
Thinking about Veronica's remarkable psychic power made him even more uneasy. He knew that in a world full of danger and competition, her strength was bound to attract more jealousy and hostility.
He had no idea how many more people would try to hurt her in the future, but he knew one thing for sure—he had to find a way to protect her.
But the situation in front of him made him feel powerless. He was trapped in this stone cell, completely cut off from the outside world, with no way to ask for help.
No one would care about a semi-beastman like him. He figured maybe even if he died here, nobody would notice.
"Leonardo. Leonardo," that familiar voice echoed through the empty cell. Leonardo jerked his head up, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.
He rubbed his ears, thinking he must've imagined it—but the voice came again, clear and steady. It was Gabriel. No doubt about it.
Gabriel, as his superior, might've been a little too talkative on normal days, but after Leonardo ran into trouble, he was the only one who came to see him.
In this cold prison cell, Leonardo felt an unexpected warmth. As he looked at Gabriel standing just outside the bars, a swirl of complicated emotions rose in his chest.
Gabriel ran up with a smile on his face, looking genuinely happy and excited. He spoke through the bars, "Leonardo, I've got good news. You're getting out soon."
Leonardo froze for a second, then suddenly shot to his feet. His heartbeat spiked, and something unreadable crossed his face.
The past few days had been an emotional rollercoaster. Hearing what Gabriel just said, he almost couldn't believe his ears.
