[Bonus chapter]The Open Trial

The servants were just commoners. They could have done nothing if they would be ignored. 

But their empress was ready for an open trial. She must have trust in her husband. Perhaps it could be a misunderstanding?

They looked at each other and then at Alex again. The man was still holding her arms as if his life was dependent on it.

His eyes were red and face was stained with tears. The way his body had trembled when he had first come here was still fresh in their hearts.

They have taken it as fear of being captured. But could it be raw pain as her majesty suggested?

They felt torn and strange when they looked at the lifeless body of Charles lying on the ground.

"First of all, I want you to arrange a temporary bed for my father in law's body. I could not see him lying on the ground. He was a great man and deserve respect until we start mourning and funeral ceremony.'' They moved at once and arranged a bed for him.
