The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 177: The trial of the century.

The grand hall of the royal castle was transformed into a courtroom quickly and those that had permission to witness the trial in person flocked the castle and found seats around. These seats filled up quickly as the trial of the century unfolded amidst thick air. The accused: the noble house of Ye, a once wealthy and respected family now charge with the unthinkable--poisoning crown princess Sigrid, attempted murder by throwing her out of a window to what could have been her death and murdering the royal heir in her womb.

The crown prince’s face held a similar color to the king’s and every once in a while, he could be seen caressing the tip of the sword in his hands. Beside him was his wife the crown princess, despite her red eyes and slightly pale look she appeared to be stronger than expected.

The people were waiting however, for that moment when she would fall apart. Who in Eldoria did not know of her great love for children? The dozens of pictures of her in newspapers carrying commoners children and kissing them on the cheeks, laughing with them or ruffling their hair proved this fact.

In the courtroom, nobles in their finest and newest silks filled the front rows, their faces a mix of various emotions as they had no idea how the trial would proceed. They peeked at the Thorin’s who were also in the front rows wondering what was going through their minds. No word had been heard from them but they were angry and it showed on their faces.
