It took a week for athanasia to wake up, she underestimated the amount of black magic claude had in him and Lucas had to take out the remaining ones that refused to clear up, Felix did give Claude the letter athanasia wrote for him he wanted to execute them now but he respected her wishes for a trial he knows there's more to there their crimes that she's keeping from him, news came out about how the first princess risk her life to save the emperor and she had nothing but praise
A noble meeting was quickly announced and every noble was requested to come in the courtroom influential or not, anxiety filled the room if there is a trial then that means the culprit was found, Claude stood over them with his emperor uniform for important events he wears, they all bowed sweat dropped by his aura it's darker than usual
"I was notified that one of you had the bravery to try to kill me" he said they all stayed quiet not knowing what to say there was a long silence no one said a word but they tremble in fear
"I have to say duke alpheus I respect you for having a courage to try and get rid of me" claude said giving him his famous cold gaze, nobles gasped while roger stared at Claude stunned by his claims
"YOUR MAJESTY I WOULD NE-"
"SILENCE"
"Guards bring countess Rosalia and duke alpheus to the stand they shall be put in trial" he announced the nobles gasp and began muttering about the situation, Rosalia and roger stared at him horror before they were dragged by guards ijiekiel was shocked and confused watching his father get dragged out, father tried to kill his majesty that's impossible he thought
"Your majesty this must be a mistake we would never harm the imperial family" roger defended himself, how did come to this I would never harm the emperor, his thoughts were soon interrupted by a cold female voice
"Sorry I am late I had an errand to run" a cold voice broke out they turned around and gasped to see the crown princess holding the former emperor on a leach, Claude stared at his daughter shock he hasn't seen her since she woke up, he tried talking to her but immediately left not sparing a look towards his way, and his brother who was supposed to be dead was right next to her bruised and weak, she walked towards the stand like with confident steps marking her territory, she threw Anastasius to the ground

"I had a rat I needed to catch" she said smiled roger and Rosalia went pale staring at Anastasius and the princess in horror, she caused this roger thought the princesses threats stayed in his head refusing to leave he always shook his uneasy feelings about the princess thinking that she's just weak and she won't do anything only for her to bring his worse nightmare to life
"Today we gather here today for the trial of duke alpheus and countess Rosalia for working with the former emperor to take back the throne" she announced they stayed quiet not knowing what to do to defend themselves they knew they didn't try to assassinate the emperor but they are working with him and they have nothing to plead their innocence, they saw the princesses cunning look and they knew they were in fact fucked
