An Extra’s POV
Chapter 72
Rey already knew he couldn't win—at least, not absolutely.
He had a pile of evidence against him, and the truth was even a lot more implicating than what he was being tried for.
As a result, he settled for a stalemate.
'The only thing I didn't expect was the entire thing with Lady Vida. She really came at me strongly…'
Fortunately, it didn't completely derail his plans.
'In the end, no one can prove I did anything, and there's no proof I'm guilty.'
That was good enough for Rey.

"After reviewing all of the evidence presented here, and considering the testimonies given, as well as the defenses of the accused… we have arrived at our judgment."
The Royal Council, after leaving the Royal Court for about twenty minutes, finally returned with their verdict.

Per the judicial system practiced here, there had to be a majority vote among the five Royal Council members for a judgment to be valid.
'I guess it takes time for them to reach a reasonable arrangement, even if it's not a consensus…'
Out of the five, Rey only needed three people to take his side. He could already rule out the Lady Vida, so he was left so the only four other options
Taking his time to study their faces, he considered his chances.
'Lord Conrad seems like a reasonable person. He should be able to see sense in this…'
He didn't know too well about the other members of the council other than the fact that they were boomers.
As a result, Rey could only cross his fingers and wait for his judgment.
"Rey Skylar will be placed under house arrest and constant surveillance while an active investigation is conducted on the matter."
The moment Rey heard this, his heart sank.
"This is to determine the truth of what happened, and also to ensure no injustice is meted out."
