(Well, obviously it'd be illegal outside of Cheliax, normal countries are afraid to let people worship Asmodeus so they definitely wouldn't let people pray to him to take a baby's soul! Which is good, Asmodeus sucks, people shouldn't worship him.)

"Asmodeus is the god of — people who are strong or powerful or important being allowed to hurt anyone weaker than them as much as they want to, and everyone else acting like that's just their right. He's the strongest god — or, that's what his followers say, I think Pharasma might be stronger, but he's definitely pretty strong, he killed Aroden. Uh, Aroden was also a god, but he was a human first — that's why Asmodeus was able to kill him, because being part-human meant he could never be as strong as the proper gods. Asmodeus is in charge of Hell, and he's planning to take over the other afterlives someday, only I think he's not going to succeed, the Asmodeans think that if they tell everyone else they have to be Asmodean and hurt them for disobeying they'll all just go along with it but they're wrong." No matter how hard they try they can't stop people's souls from burning with the desperate need to make them pay. ...She's not going to be specific about that part, murder is probably still technically illegal here even if the person you killed really deserved it.

Well, "in charge of hell" sure settles the satanic cult question.  The rest is somewhat confusing, but what would you expect of a weird cult out in the woods, really? 

Assuming any of this is true.  She might still be making it all up and just like hand-making clothes and collecting weird objects.  But it really seems like they should check.

"That's an awful cult. We don't allow that sort of thing here. Can you tell us where all this was happening?"

It's good that they don't allow it but it also means she needs to be really careful not to admit to breaking their laws, which is hard, she still doesn't know what exactly the laws are. 

"The Asmodeans are in charge of the whole country of Cheliax, except for a couple provinces, only no one here has heard of any of the towns I know of so I think — either they're called something really different here or I traveled in time or something. I'm from Sofrituró but there's also Dekarium, Egorian, uh, Westcrown... Ostenso... uhhhhh.... Cor... Cor-something. Coritum or something like that. And lots of places I don't know the name for, obviously — Sofrituró's just a farming village but the others are bigger, everyone in Cheliax knows about Egorian, and I'd have thought everyone in all the nearby countries would too. ...And I didn't walk that far from home so I should still be in Cheliax, but I'm not." Because Cheliax definitely would have put her to death by now, or at least started to.

"You're not in Cheliax because Cheliax is made up.  You grew up in some kind of horrible cult compound out in the woods, where they worship the devil and do evil rituals and hurt people and pretend everywhere's like that, I have no idea how they managed that but we're going to find them and stop them and that'll be it."

"Unless," adds the other man, "you made it all up.  If you did, you're going to be in a lot of trouble when we find out, and we will, so you should just tell us before we spend a lot of effort looking and get really annoyed.  Is that what happened?  We know children like to make things up sometimes."

Well, she's not making things up — or she's not making up all of Cheliax, at least — but she's kind of worried they'll go out in the woods and look and not find anything because she's from thousands of years in the future or something. But she keeps trying to explain that to people and it keeps not working. (Or possibly this is just an excuse to punish her either way, but in that case there's not much she can do about it.)

If they do manage to find them, and put the priests and lords and men who force themselves on women to death, obviously that would be good, she'd love for that to happen, just ... well, it depends on what exactly happened to get her here. Maybe it'll work! Even if it won't, she's not going to claim she was lying about Cheliax when she wasn't, that would be stupid! It'd be pretty stupid even if she were lying about everything, no one's going to believe the 'just confess and we'll hurt you less' thing.

(Is it possible Cheliax just made up a whole country? She's never been very far from home before, but her mom's been to Egorian — or, she could have been lying about that, but she's met other people from faraway places too, not a lot of them but enough that it can't just have been her lord and his lands. And some of the things Cheliax said don't really make sense if it was all just a village, like there's no reason to even admit to Andoran province unless it's real. And Ms. Wójcicka didn't seem to believe in magic at all, which is definitely real, but maybe she was just stupid? Cheliax could've been smaller, maybe, a county or even just a barony rather than a whole kingdom... though that doesn't explain the map... but maybe she just read it wrong, only she'd need to have read it really wrong to end up that confused.)

"No!! ...I think it can't have been just my village, we did get people visiting from outside occasionally, but I guess I don't know if it was a whole country like they said."

If any of this is real then the visiting people were also lying, but - no point in trying to dig into it, it's really easy to lie to children and easy for children to get confused even if nobody's lying to them.

What they do dig into is the location - they try having her point out where it might be on the map, but they don't really believe in her ability to orient while walking either (people are generally terrible at that even if they're not confused teenagers), so they end up just wanting a detailed description of all her days of travel, to get some idea of how far she might have gone and whether there are any recognizable landmarks.

After they get as much information out of her as they have the patience for, there's a lecture about The Knife Incident.

"So, we're going to go look for this horrible place of yours, and if these people exist they're going to rot in jail.  But in the meantime you're out of there and in the normal world, where nobody's trying to hurt you, and you shouldn't stab anyone.  All right?  The doctor was doing his job, they need the blood samples to check stuff, they do it to me every year.  And anyone else who's doing something you find confusing and scary is probably also just doing their job and you really shouldn't stab them.  Got it?"  He really has no idea how to convincingly explain that you... shouldn't stab people for random things... and feels like he's probably not doing a great job, but maybe the orphanage people can do better.

... And yes, in addition to being something she really shouldn't do again, the stabbing was already a serious crime, but...  The orphanage director really doesn't want this whole thing public, and he's good friends with the police commissioner.  The doctor doesn't want her charged - "Well, I was trying to steal her blood, and really it's my own fault, letting a teenage girl get the drop on me like that" - and honestly yeah, the policeman thinks, if he got stabbed by someone looking like that he wouldn't want it written about in newspapers either.  And anyway, they can't hold any kind of sensible trial until they know whether the whole satanic cult thing is real, because if it is then it's barely even her fault and they don't want to have to drag her through the courts twice, so... everyone just agreed to put it all off until they have a better idea of what's going on.  She's in the orphanage's charge and they know what's up with her now, they're not going to let it happen again, and they're the right people to deal with this sort of situation in the first place.

She will cooperatively talk about all the different places and landmarks she can remember. There was the part where she got yelled at for drinking out of a lake, and the part where she got totally turned around, and the part where she walked in a river, and the torture devices in the woods, and — she's going to skip all the stealing food and most of the trespassing, but she'll mention the house she had to run away from, it was made of the weird rocks they have around here, there wasn't anything like that in Cheliax. (And a couple people saw her, so if the guardsmen go back to look, they might find out she was there anyway.) She remembers most of the trip, and it's only a little bit out of order.

...When she's coming up with her fake route out of Sofrituró she'll make it sound like she went by the manor where she grew up. (Maybe it'll get her killed, if it sends the guardsmen there when they wouldn't have gone and they put all the pieces together, but it probably also makes it more likely she can make the priest and all the rest of the nobles pay. She was focused on getting her revenge on Guifré, but it's not hard to remember all the things the rest of them ought to pay for, and the possibility that they might just all get away with it, if she's thousands of years in the past or something, keeps pressing up against the edge of her ribcage like she'd somehow swallowed a hot coal.)

She is perfectly willing to promise the guardsmen she won't stab anyone else. (This is a really easy promise to make. She doesn't have a knife, so she couldn't anyway, and if she does get another knife and end up in a scenario where she's willing to die for stabbing someone, she can just break the promise.)
