Interrogation~

Alicia stood in the courtroom, her confusion palpable. The unfolding events had caught her off guard, and she glanced around, seeking clarity. Adrien's hand still encircled her wrist, a gesture that both offered reassurance and seemed to anchor her in the midst of uncertainty.

The murmurs and whispers of the courtiers created a backdrop of uncertainty, and Alicia's eyes shifted between Christon, Gloria, and the councilors. She felt a tug on her wrist, a gentle reminder from Adrien to remain composed.

"What are you waiting for? Did you not hear? Let her go!" His words reverberated, leaving no room for hesitation. The atmosphere in the courtroom shifted as King Alfonzo's stern voice sliced through the palpable tension. His command echoed off the grand walls, demanding immediate compliance.
