The next morning, the lord found out his ruby was missing and called Judge Ooka. They found it in the room of a girl and her father‘s room. They are accused of theft. Seikei knew that the girl did not steal the ruby because he was talking to her in his room when it was stolen. He stands up for the girl and her father.
