Trial

Yao Ning paced back and forth in the hallway of a heavily gilded palace located in a city known as Truelight City. Her face was in a frown and had been in a frown ever since she had found out that her King had been taken into custody for killing a high-ranking member of the Empire's army.

No one had told her exactly what was happening and those that did only told her that it would be okay, and she should relax.

'Like hell, I can relax,' the old woman thought to herself.

Liang Shufen sat on one of the chairs in the hallway as well, her face grim as well. She bit her fingers in frustration, eyes unfocused as her mind was lost in some thought. There were other people around her, all important people in their own right, but none seemed to focus their gaze on her at all.

"What are they talking about in there? Why can't be with them?" Yao Ning asked once again, even though she knew the answer would be the same.
