This time, nothing unexpected happened after Chu Nan left His Majesty Gremayne's "preparation bedroom". As soon as he went out, he was captured by two maidservants and brought to the platform where the floating shuttle of the Elder Council was. Then, he was immediately escorted into the shuttle and left without any delay.
The shuttle quickly returned the way it came. In less than three hours, it had already brought Chu Nan to a familiar place—the hall where he had been judged.
In the hall, President Anduin and the other elders were sitting on the rostrum like the last trial, but there was no longer any royal Declan watching from the surrounding seats. The entire hall seemed to be empty, and it was simply too cold compared to the last trial.
