Empress was the last one who entered the chamber. After that, the guard closed the chamber door. The air felt tense and the silence was choking. Emperor finally opened the trial, "First, I'd like to express my gratitude for all the audience and witness here. We will uncover the truth behind the assassination attempt happened to young heir of Grand Duchy Stormhill. The trial starts now."
Emperor knocked the gavel.
"We will start by calling the attacker," Emperor ordered a guard to bring the attacker in. It was the same man who attacked Aster during the spring festival. He was very thin now, almost bones only, but his eyes was very sharp. His eyes pierced everyone with hostility, when his eyes met with Aster, he started struggling desperately, seemingly wanting to pounce on him.
