"A lady whose name goes by Adelaine Blackwood has been arrested and accused of being a 'partner in crime' in Charlotte's 'Suicide' case. I'd like the thank princess Zephyrina and team for providing all information about this ruckus."

"Has justice been served, sir?"

"Justice for what?" The lawyer asked

"Sir, justice for-"

The crowd was staring at her.

"Im sorry sir, you may go on. Thank you."

Everyone clapped.

"You all may disperse now!"

Julian walked towards Zephyrina. "You know... Your parents are kinda mad at you..."

"What in the world did I do now?!"

"I think you are ov--"

"You are OVERREACTING." The Queen tells her.

"Her death is tampering with your thoughts, your feelings, your behaviour.."

"Of course, she's my best friend! And she died"

"Can we just go home?" Zephyrina sobbed.
