Imperial Prison, Hestia Empire,
Berij looked at the wall of the prison, dazed in her thoughts as she waited for the next day.
The trial would be held the next day and that would be when she'll get to know the reason why she was arrested along with all the subjects of Duke Closh's research.
They all had been given different tasks by her and the duke, to carry out, so how did they even get caught?
They were scattered all around the empire so how did the royal guards manage to capture each and every one of them?
It was sure that there was some commonality between them that made it easy to target them.
And since the duke's son wasn't arrested, he must be different somehow.
It was clear that they were being targeted and framed.
However, she believed that the duke would help her prove her innocence.
She could only rely on him since she had no power of her own.
