The awaited day of the trial came. And it went smoothly with all the pieces of evidence Alwin and everyone else worked hard to gather.
As expected, Jacob and Adolfo were both declared to be executed on the very same day of the trial.
Even when they pled for a lighter punishment, their crime was too heavy to be ignored.
The Council could not tolerate what they did since it happened in Medeus and Arabella was their guest from Valeria.
Moreover, if the two were not executed, it could embolden other people or groups to try assassinating royals even here in Medeus since they would not be executed anyway. Thus, the punishment had to be this heavy to set an example among the people.
Arabella learned from the thoughts she could hear that there were nobles in the trial who were secretly affiliated with Umbra. They attended since they wanted to know if Adolfo leaked any information about them.
