"But sire… she saved my son," protested Gadburg.
"She is in the wrong and you are my beta. You know what to do," said Alder and started walking away.
Gadburg moved towards Edwina but was met by Nolan and Thorin and Aaron. "I am sorry, but I have to do my job. Please!"
"Where are you taking her? Is she going to be arrested?" asked Thorin.
"We will keep her in her room. She will be safe and cosy but she will be under house arrest," replied Gadburg.
"Alphas and Lunas! Get back to the palace, change your clothes, rest a bit and then we will have the hearing," announced Alder.
"Today?" asked Edwina.
"Do you have any issue with that?" asked Alder.
"No! I want this to be over as soon as possible. But before the hearing I want to see the dead body," said Edwina with her head held high.
"NOOO!!!" so many people shouted at once. She didn't know who shouted the loudest, but she could distinguish her mother's voice among them.
