Gabriel's journey

Hearing the princess pose this claim acted like a switch in my mind. Even if for a good while already I was quite reluctant to blame all the bad things and decisions that turned this place to its current state on her, only at this moment did I really started considering other options. 

While the fact that she exploited the people that were forced in her servitude remained, I couldn't tell at this moment whether she did it for the sake of her own power, luxury or maybe something I didn't even bother to think about!

"Stop holding us all back and just tell what you know about Gabriel's whereabouts. Even if you managed to put a doubt in my mind about your own guilt, it won't change the fact that unless you prove at least part of your words, you will still be charged guilty of all the things this tribunal is accusing you off!"
