Merona was determined to have the showdown today at the royal court, where all the higher ranked nobles and officials would be present. Hamon had continued to refuse to release Cassius despite the people's protest. All the public opinions favored Merona, however no one had the ability to forcibly disperse Hamon's soldiers nor his authority_no one except the king himself. However, Fredrick had been ignoring the officials protests and request to have a word with him. Therefore, Merona planned to pressure Frederick today in the presence of all the officials and nobles.
Edwin followed behind Merona's footsteps, and murmured to her in an urgent voice, "Sister, I have been informed that Prince Hamon is on his way here as expected."
Merona sneered, "Of course, he is. He wouldn't want to miss this."
