Everyone was taken aback by what Prince Arlan had to reveal and why.
Arlan looked at the King's adviser, Lord Soymer, who offered a light nod and said, "While Prince Arlan prepares to bring in the witness, I would like to raise another agenda item for today's council meeting concerning the next witness to be brought before the Royal court." With that, he picked up another scroll and spread it on the table in front of the royal couple.
"Your Majesty and Honorable royal court ministers," the adviser began, "Prince Arlan has accused Mortimer Luis and his entire family of various crimes committed over the past two decades and even earlier."
The Royal court erupted in shock, some denying any accusations against Luis while others were content that justice might finally be served.
Luis glared angrily at Arlan. "Prince Arlan, what kind of crimes are you accusing me of?"
