The elves blinked, surprised and a few of them even nodded in agreement.
"That...makes sense." Said one older elf hesitantly. "Since Julius said his side, we should hear yours too."
Another chimed in. "I agree. I want to know what really happened."
"We want to hear your truth too, Luca." Luna raised her hand, her voice clear. "We want to hear your side."
"Me too! Me too!" Lulu shouted, waving her arms. "I don't believe you're a bad person, Luca! So, tell us everything!"
Luca chuckled softly, bowing his head slightly.
"Thank you." He said sincerely. "Thank you all for giving me the chance to speak."
Julius's smile faltered. Something about that tone sent a chill down his spine.
Luca looked around the crowd. "But this time." He said. "I won't just talk. Words can be twisted, as we've all seen just now." He smiled faintly at Julius. "So instead of explaining everything myself, I'll need a few volunteers to help me show it."
