"I'm innocent"

Even though Harvey would have preferred to go with Susan and Williams to confront Lance, he couldn't since he also needed to be at the assembly, which would be starting at any moment, and he needed to keep an eye on what was going on. 

His eyes were fixed on Alicia, who was looking around the place as though she was searching for someone even though everyone was present now. 

"As you all know, the king is ill and cannot join us. The Queen, Prince Ivan, and I will be in charge of this assembly and trial," Damon announced, causing Alicia's heart to skip a beat. 

The King was ill? Why now? Why did he have to be ill at the same time as Harold, who was unconscious? Was he aware of what was happening to her? Alicia wondered as tears gathered in her eyes. 

Something told her that someone had murdered Beth and they were trying to make her take the fall for it. Or else, why was everyone who was supposed to help her unable to make it?
