The Romantic Trials Of A Transmigrated Empress

Chapter 181: The verdict.

The trial was about to be ended, everyone was awaiting the final verdict. There were not many outcomes for the Ye family, everyone was sure about this matter end. Still, they wanted to hear the words straight from the mouth of the emperor and see the reaction of the crown prince and princess.

A trial could not be conducted without both sides being heard. However, in Eldoria, a crime against a member of the royal family did not give one much opportunity to defend themselves.

King Raff faced the the Ye’s and addressed them. "The accused, you have heard the accusations levied against you. What say you in response?"

The Lord mage unsealed Oliver Ye’s mouth so that he could respond. Before he could, Blythe Ye was already yelling her innocence.

"It was not me, I had nothing with do with any of crimes." Her finger found her brother quickly and she gave him up. "It was all him, he was the one with the grudge against the crown princess. I had nothing to do with any of this."

Oliver was furious at his sister for laying all the crimes at his door. "You fool." he snarled and lunged at her.

His hands were wrapped around her neck and he squeezed hard. As for their female cousins, they were just crying uselessly. Lord Ye had nothing to say, his head was bowed in grief. He had already resigned himself to the fate that awaited them. No matter what they said or what proof they provided in favor of their innocence, they could not escape.

Chaos broke out when Blythe pulled a gold hair pin from her hair and stabbed Oliver in the shoulder. She surprised him and all the citizens in the courtroom and at home. Red knights intervened and separated the two, but no attempt was made to bandage Oliver.

"This is the verdict." The King’s pronounced voice traveled to all corners of the room and kingdom. "The Ye family has abused their privilege of being nobility and brought shame to the kingdom. The actions of a few have tarnished the rest of the family. The crimes they have committed are too heavy to be written off with a simple punishment."
