The next trial would be held early in the morning. There were four important people from the council, who were accused of staging a coup during the royal ceremony for Zenith.
Therefore, the king was needed to attend, since he would give the final verdict after hearing all the evidence, but if the king was absent, the trial would be postponed. Even so, they still needed a clear explanation about what happened with the king, because it had been a while, since the last time he appeared in public.
Pyro couldn't cover for such important event.
However, they couldn't leak the king's current condition, because it would cause another uproar to know the sovereign fell sick. It was so rare for a shifter to fall sick and if they knew how Zander was currently unconscious, it would shake the entire kingdom. It would give a leg for their opponent to cause more trouble again.
