On the following morning, during the court assembly, Irvin and his deputy, accompanied by several senior Inspectors of the Oversight Department, presented a series of reports.

The reports accused Samuel of consorting with a courtesan while his legitimate wife was pregnant, favoring his concubine over his wife, and mistreating his wife.

Furthermore, they condemned the Warren family for their disrespect towards the matriarch of the Marquis of Jadehill’s family, leading to public outrage. The resulting anger had led to people throwing excrement at Valor Estate. The Warren family members had caught the culprit, dragged him inside, and broken his limbs. The culprit had now filed a complaint at the Royal Citadel, confessing to the act and demanding compensation.
