"I call forth the witnesses to give their statements, as they swear upon the Tome of Law," Laina ordered.
With Margaret's case, in the Drawing Room, there were only a handful of witnesses. A small number of Royal Guards were present in the room with her, apart from the Nobles of High Court.
Three Royal Guards came forward to give their statement. Then, Margaret walked forward to give her statement. She placed her hand on the Tome of Law and gave a full account of what had happened.
"Lies! Those are lies, your Highness!" one of the nobles interrupted Margaret as she spoke.
Laina glared at the person who spoke up. She pointed straight at them. All eyes were upon Lady Pennifier. The royal guards escorted her out of the crowd of nobles. Now, she stood before Laina.
"Lady Pennifer, place your hand on the tome," Laina ordered.
