A Lie

When Melisa entered the throne room, several nobles who happened to be in the palace had been gathered to attend Melisa's trial, which was suddenly held. They all fell silent when Melisa entered the throne room. Unlike a few hours ago, when they were still smiling and greeting her politely, Melisa could only see the cold look in the eyes of any of them.

CLANG!

"Duke Andrew and the Alison family enter the throne room!"

Not long after Melisa came in, Duke Andrew also came in, and he seemed to have been summoned in a hurry by King Dillion. Duke Andrew's young face wrinkled slightly when he saw Melisa's calm state at the sight. The man only stared at him for a moment before he stepped forward to face King Dillion directly.

"Your Majesty, I have brought Crown Prince Alexius."

"Let him in."

"Will do."
