Proving innocence

Lara's smile deepened a little, "You don't have to worry about that." 

Hecathe sighed as he heard this and nodded his head, "Then I'll naturally take you up on that offer." 

Lara crossed her arms and patiently waited with great interest to see what Alphius had to say for himself. 

Hecathe took a deep breath in and exclaimed, "I would like to first bring forward some of my men as witnesses!" 

Suddenly a few mecha-suits came out of nowhere and stood in a line as they heard this. It almost looked as if this had all been rehearsed or planned beforehand but only Hecathe and the mecha-suits knew that this was not a part of their plan. 

"Now, to speak on my behalf, I would like to call a person called Xanie," Hecathe spoke and Xanie who was hiding till now suddenly got a little stunned as she heard her name being called.

The girl gulped as she stood up and made her way to the stage where everyone else was gathered.
