Just for a short moment, Judge Radhiya regretted having complied with Duke Azikiwe's request to accompany the interrogation, her presence made the emperor restrain himself and hope to see what Esi Chara wanted with all this.
In Judge Radhiya's mind, as the request was from the emperor's uncle who was worried about his nephew getting involved with a suspicious person, she thought that everything would be fine, after all, it was for the good of the imperial family what would also be good for the people of the empire.
She looked at the divine item that was now in her hand, for the first time she wondered if the item wasn't working properly, of course, not because of the goddess's fault, but because of the questionable feelings and motivations that made her an outside judge of the imperial court.
