[ THIRD P.O.V. ]
The Grand Duke and Arthur rounded up the accused traitors: Chief Hiki the representative of the Land of Dew, Baron Gaisler Essó from the Aristocrat Faction, and Chancellor Simoun Fitzroy. They were all the ones that Arthur and the Shadow Corps had investigated. Viscount Kise Luecé was part of their schemes, however, he was found dead back at his estate in Annaritas Nation.
They were imprisoned in the dungeon with the charge of treason and harming a royal blood. Grand Duke Deus was sweeping off the unnecessary nobles in the imperial court to secure Henrietta's safety. He was planning to announce her to the empire and introduce her to the high society, an early debut for the princess. It was to prevent any more risky situation like the kidnapping case.
