This little matter before the court session was resolved in an instant.
Inwardly, Ivita praised Lady Alice's problem-solving abilities.
Ivita was always worried about the trouble the Old Witch would cause. This guy, apart from dealing with himself, basically does as he pleases.
Thankfully, the trial was starting soon.
The mayor, acting as the judge for this important court session, appeared in a solemn judge's robe. The outfit was primarily grey and cumbersome, looking like a cloak.
He loudly declared the commencement of the court session, and everyone present stood up.
This seemed to symbolize that everyone present respected the judge's verdict.
Ivita, conforming to local customs, stood up to find that the Old Witch was still sitting down, curiously looking all around. He hastily pulled her to her feet.
The bishop, Parviga, sitting next to the judge, was also standing up temporarily. What do you mean by still sitting there?
