"What do you mean criminals? Who are they?" Mrs. White asked, seeking clarity.
"They are wanted rebels who defied the throne! They destroyed one of the queen's mines and liberated servants from the prime minister's estate, committing high treason!" explained Neon, Oliver’s younger brother.
"No, those are falsehoods made by people who are trying to overshadow the truth! They were framed!" Oliver defended them.
"How can you be so sure? Were you present?" Mr. White asked reprimandingly.
"No, but... Everyone around the city is discussing it. They rescued people from the mine. This is Darius King, a hero to the people of Silvermoor!" Oliver clarified.
"Darius King? Are you the Darius King I’ve heard so much about?" Mrs. White exclaimed, having also heard the old tale about him.
