"Has the Emperor set a trial date?" Ruby gulped and touched her heart which was beating twice as fast due to anxiety. "When will the trial start?"
"Next week," Matthew replied.
Ruby stood up immediately after knowing the time set by the emperor. The blanket on her shoulders fell onto the carpet, along with the cracking sound from the fireplace.
She covered her mouth with her hand, and her eyes that were directed at Matthew seemed to radiate great worry. Matthew could even see Ruby's trembling hands and knew his wife was feeling discomfort.
"That fast?"
Matthew pulled Ruby's hand so that she could sit back in front of the fireplace and then explained to his wife. "The Emperor probably did that on purpose because he wanted to know about the condition in Trigas City and Veles."
