The grand hall of the royal castle was transformed into a courtroom quickly and those that had permission to witness the trial in person flocked the castle and found seats around. These seats filled up quickly as the trial of the century unfolded amidst thick air.

The courtroom was a spectacle. The king whose face was red with grief and fury was gripping the arms of the throne. Beside him was the queen to his right and princess Elarin to his left. The queen looked cold, the same as ever while Elarin's face was pale and her eyes red from so much crying.
