***One week before the trial***
Deep in the underground dungeon's of the starlight palace, marquis was being interrogated in the torture room.
"I am innocent! your majesty please believe me"
"That is not the evidence says marquis"
All of a sudden there was a knock on the door, as the door opened a knight reported that the grand duke is here.
"Let him in i am sure he has somethings to hear"
"Yes your majesty"
Alexander entered the room as he gave a cold dark aura feeling, as marquis saw him he trembled in fear.
"Glad you could make it grand duke how is kion?"
"Still asleep what he saw was a huge shock"
"I can imagine that now let's get down to business"
The emperor and alexander began to interrogate the marquis, with a few forceful tactics the marquis revealed everything.
"I see and how is the dark mage tower involved with the concubine?"
"I.. i don't know believe me.."
"Doesn't matter once we have interrogated the marquess and found your son you will pay"
Calling out to a guards both entered, the emperor instructed to take marquis back to his cell both nodded and done what were instructed.
"Excuse me your majesty and your grace"
"Yes justin what is it?"
Justin he had light red hair and purple eyes, as he was the commander of the imperial knights entered the room.
"We have finished interrogating the marquess"
"And what did she say?"
"According to her they were paid by the concubine to adopt kion"
Alexander clutched his fists, and asked if she said anything else justin nodded then relayed what the marquess said.
"That proves the concubine is involved"
"Yes but we can't arrest her though"
"Then it is impossible to do so"
"Actually not alexander if we get rid of those who sided with the concubine then her power will plummet"
"I see i will ask the black phoenix guild to help us"
"Okay and alexander once kion is awake let me know"
Alexander nodded and walked out as justin followed, once alone he called out a name who appeared out of thin air.
"You called for me?"
"Lance i want you to investigate the concubine about the death of my mother and father"
Lance bowed then vanished, the emperor sighed softly as he mumbled something then walked out of the room.
***Ends***
A sigh escaped from my lips, chloe my hand maid asked if i was okay as she placed a tray with macarons and tea down on the table.
"Just thinking how is michael and everyone is doing"
"Why don't you ask his grace if he would let you see them"
"Don't get me wrong chloe i love being with my real family but sometimes i feel suffocated"
All of a sudden there was a knock on the door, as it opened my father entered the room and walked over to me then sat down beside me.
