After cleaning my name from the accusations, I don't really need revenge. No one will believe to the Empress ever again.

«The law is rather clear,» I say. «Someone bringing fake evidence is punishable. Not as a culprit, of course, but as an accomplice. Her majesty failed at recognising fake proof and used it to frame innocent people. Twice.»

I turn to him, surprised.
«Yes, Archduke,» his majesty replies, nodding his head. «Let's hear your version of the facts. And your witness as well.»
«I'd like to ask my cousin to tell us her mind and what she saw and didn't see,» my husband declares.
