Convicted

The minutes gradually turned into hours, until Emery eventually lost track of time. The lit candles scattered throughout the room were almost at their end, but he was still being confined in this dark room.

Even though he was still able to move his limbs around, the symbol marks visible on the ground had basically constrained him to the chair, denying any kind of changes from his current position in the room.

However, even if he was somehow able to escape the restrictions imposed on him, Emery definitely wouldn't leave the room before he was asked for fear that it would complicate things more than they already were.

All the accusations charged against his name were false, so he would definitely wait until his name was cleared. No matter how long the process would take, as he knew it was mostly due to a misunderstanding.
