Queen Ariadne's POV.
"I think you should question the guards again" Mother suggested. I could feel the fear in her voice. Nobody knew what my punishment will be, they were all worried about me.
"Mother, I have done that already, am not going to repeat it today, they will appear in court tomorrow to tell the story in full" the Emperor said.
"Please son, lessen her punishment for my sake" she pleaded.
"Mother, you know how much I hate lies. Your daughter here is lying to me. She doesn't want to tell the truth".
"Am not lying mother, I swear" I cried out. The Emperor didn't believe me when I said I wasn't guilty. How will he trust his guards more than his wife? This wasn't fair to me at all!
"Guards" the king called out. They rushed to his call, at first we thought he was going to send for the guards who accused me but instead, he asked them to arrest me.
