The king was not far away from the alley, this sting operation was planned by Shu XinYi yesterday with the king's cooperation. But because he said some obvious lies before, it was no wonder that the king wanted to question him in person. But for this interview session, Shu XinYi was taken back to the palace, and made to wait in the main hall for quite some time.
Once he was allowed in the king's study, Calius was standing right by the king, discussing who knows what.
"Your Majesty." Shu XinYi said bowing down.
The king took a second to reply, "I am assuming that there must have been a very thorough reason for you to have committed a crime and a treason against me."
Shu XinYi looked up saying, "Your majesty, you are indeed right. I needed money at that time, and Sir Caesar accurately showed up in my time of need. He was generous to me so I wanted to do something for him, but I couldn't possibly do something as ridiculous as sending that letter."
