The Procedings In Court

Today was the day he would bring justice to his wife.

The royal court was abuzz with whispers of the imminent arrest of Princess Jollene and Princess Christina. 

Such a scandal involving royal blood was unheard of, and curiosity burned brightly among the nobles. 

Alaric had already attempted to initiate the arrests the previous day, but Commander Walls had delayed him with urgent matters regarding the kingdom's defenses. 

Now, there would be no more waiting.

Accompanied by palace guards, Alaric entered the private wing where the princesses resided. 

Their laughter and idle chatter came to an abrupt halt as the guards marched in, the sound of boots echoing ominously against the marble floors.

Princess Jollene was the first to speak, her voice a mixture of confusion and outrage. "What is the meaning of this, Alaric?" she demanded, standing from her seat with a haughty glare.
