108 The Council’s Verdict

--The Nydisian Kingdom, The Council, The Grand Hall--

Samuel had been impulsive when he spoke out of turn, but perhaps he was right and the time for a new era of laws has come. Laws that the General can no longer hide under. "Listen, you have to understand that this is the time to enforce a new way of doing things. Let us use the General's trial to make a statement, proving the council's influence!"

At this time, three other council members stepped into the room joining Aliah and Samuel in the private courtroom.

Josephine took a seat crossing her legs comfortably as she watched Cecil state her stance with Samuel.
