Third Person Omniscient.

Steven and Rosemary were taken to a different area, one that looks like a college classroom with bleachers of gnomes surrounding them both. And then on a podium, stood Gnomus, still holding the British flower's wand. Steven was standing up, looking around the area while Rosemary was seated on a stool (since she can't fly).

"Alright now, cease your cheers of excitement!" Gnomus shouts at the crowd to silence them. "Today, we finally caught the elusive flower... with a little outside assistance of course. And not only did we catch her, we also caught Homeworld's legendary Steven Universe."

Steven looked a bit annoyed and angry that he's suddenly dragged into a courtroom of some kind. He already had the trial with Yellow and Blue Diamond all those years ago, and now he's going through another one.

"But we'll worry about the human hybrid in a moment. Right now, we're going to focus our attention on her." He points the wand at the flower. "Rosemary The Floret, you've been charged with a lot of crimes over the past five hundred years. But nothing will compare to your biggest atrocious sin, stealing our chess board and playing God with it."

"What?!" Steven exclaimed in utter shock, for once.

"That board is meant for higher purposes, not a plaything for your twisted desires!" Gnomus shouts, slamming his fist down on the podium to display his fury. "Your punishment for your transgression is imprisonment for all eternity!"

Steven looked over at her. "Is this true?"

Before she could answer, he heard Gnomus say, "Of course it is true! Just look into her head."

Steven glanced at the petals on top of her head, and noticed something sticking out between them. He reached in and grabbed the figurine of himself that she kept.

"That right there is you, young lad." Gnomus affirmed, pointing at the item in Steven's hand. "That's your body and mind. She undoubtedly planned to use you like a pawn on the board."

"I object to that accusation, Gnomus!" Rose immediately shouts back at him, sneering at him with exasperation.

"Then what were you doing with his pawn in your head, hmm?" Gnomus asked while patting the wand on the palm of his hand once more.

"I was using it to boost Steven into having more energy because I don't want him to be weak or frail due to his lack of self care!" She admits, while not liking the fact she's admitting this in front of Steven - but she has to in order to prove that she's not as vile as Gnomus is making her out to be.

"Very well, but did you or did you not steal our chess board and use it for your own gain for many years?" Gnomus restated, putting his hands on his hips while looking down at her with a scowl.

"I did..." She sighed in defeat.

"Not to mention your horrible abuse of magic." King Gnome continued, showing more disapproval by the minute. "You've stolen a castle from Earth, used many innocent creatures as pawns, developed split personalities and transformed a gem into a man-eating monster. That's not why I granted you magic, young lady."

He banged her wand on the podium like a gavel.

"I sentence you to be magicless and imprisoned forever!" Gnomus shouts as he bangs the wand more - careless if it cracked or shattered the glass orb at the end of the stick.
