Chapter 140: The Court Case III

Athena laughed then, a sound that echoed with reckless abandon.

Her laughter enveloped the council hall, creating a heavy silence born from sheer shock.

She laughed until tears streamed down her cheeks, unbothered by the glares of some of the townspeople or the veiled threats lurking in the eyes of others.
