The Owner of the West (1)

"Wow, look at this line-up… Almost every noble that exists must be here today," Asher looked at the courtroom from the balcony. The attendance was quite impressive, but that was expected as the news travels fast. In just a day, even the children knew the name of Arianell Fiore.
