"Your majesty, please give me one more chance!". Lady Ethelind bowed down before the king.
"You have made a critical mistake". King Albrecht held his royal staff, pointing it at her. "How could I spare a liar?".
"I suggest we should execute her". Lady Regina smiled deadly. "So no one would do it like her again!".
"Not a bad idea". King Albrecht fondled his beard.
"You son of a bitch!" - Ethelind cussed silently.
Figuring out the Fairy Stone was fake, this event had angered the king. He felt ashamed and betrayed by his own loyal people. Now, Ethelind is standing in front of the gate of judgement. Lady Regina has always wanted to take revenge, she will not let this go easily.
"Or I could give you one more chance". King Albrecht looked at Ethelind mischievously.
"What is it, your majesty?". Ethelind remained in her bowing position. This was the first time in her life sensing such tremendous pressure from all directions.
