The gavel silenced the people inside the room and the trial that Elaina is waiting for has finally begun.
"The trial for the defendant, Alfred Luminiera will now begin. The defendant has been pressed with charges that are hard to deny and are witnessed by several witnesses making his claims hard to refute. The purpose of this trial is to lighten up his sentence and what verdict will be given to him. If he can't prove his innocence in this matter, we will view this as a transgression to the kingdom and a sign that Luminiera Kingdom is provoking us for war," the king calmly said while looking serious.
The nobles started to chatter away as they heard the opening statement of the king.
CLACK!
"Order! Order in the court!"
As the commotion died down, the king continued and looked at the prosecution side where the prosecutor, the lawyer of Elaina, and Elaina herself were sitting.
"The prosecution, please begin your opening statement."
