As the proceedings continued, the witness was dismissed, and Mercer called out:
"Does Mrs. Laura have a witness to call to the stand?"
Laura looked back at Emir for a moment, and seeing him nod, she turned to Mercer and said:
"Yes, we do. Witness, please come up to the stand."
Every attendee kept their silence and watched as a beautiful young man with androgynous looks and hair made of silver locked in a ponytail that trailed behind him as he made his way through the courtroom.
The boy arrived at the stand and stood there confidently, his blue eyes shining as he said:
"I'm Elijah, the very son of Eldritch, the head of the family's name you were throwing around, and I'm here to provide recounts of the truth regarding Prince Emporium."
Laura turned around to Emir, her face mirroring shock like all those around them, and he simply nodded, answering her unspoken question.
