The night passed by so slowly for the royal family. They didn't get a wink of sleep, thinking of Jared Strongmoor's fate. Mars didn't even have time to check on Ellena. He only received the report from Sir Heron the next day.
The knight said that Ellena tried to kill herself, so they had to watch her 24/7. They didn't want her to die before a fair trial. Mars nodded, looking satisfied by Sir Heron's proactive approach.
"That's good. You did well," he praised the man. "I don't want her to die before my wife returns home. I want to give her the satisfaction of witnessing justice being served."
"Understood, Your Majesty."
"You may go."
After he was dismissed by the king, Sir Heron took his leave.
Mars rubbed his face and sighed. He was starting to feel sleepy. He couldn't sleep all night, staying up with his mother to see if his father would show signs of recovery. Until morning, nothing happened.
