Ashnard clenched his fists. "That is not true!" he shouted.

In the coldest part of the room, Gerardus smiled gently and said, "Indeed, that's not true. The witness of two people is still not enough to make Ashnard Raegulus a suspect. However, concrete and clear evidence is also needed, if you want to win this battle, Ashnard Raegulus."

"The one who destroyed it was Reinhard. He used that sword to attack me. I was only trying to protect myself. So, it not my fault," Ashnard explained.

Ashnard clenched his fists. "That is not true!" he shouted.

"Is that true?" The king asked Reinhard, and Reinhard shook his head.

"You liar!"

"Shut up your wild son, Mrs. Raegulus!" said Grimulf, the leader of the Ruishorn family. "Like father like son. Do all Raegulus have no manners?" he mocked.
