Chapter 140: Law And Order

She got up to her feet and raised her hand. The throne room was filled with so much chatter, when she tried to speak, Sierra could not even hear herself. Lord Wimbly tried unsuccessfully to get the spectators of the court to simmer down. 

Annoyed, he slammed the gavel against the sound block, a solid piece of wood. 

"Order! Order!" He yelled. 

With this, the spectators all simmered down and turned their attention to the court session that was about to begin before their eyes. Amongst the spectators were the princesses who had taken part in the concubine choosing.

She nervously clasped her hands together, praying for Sierra.
