Chapter 54: The Trial

The House of Judges, a majestic courthouse situated in the capital, stood tall with pristine white stone walls, symbolizing justice and order, nearly shimmering under the bright afternoon sunlight.

Inside, the courtroom emanated an air of solemnity and authority. Elaborate oak paneling adorned the walls, while the polished mahogany benches provided seating for nobles and spectators. Above, a magnificent stained-glass dome bathed the room in colorful light, casting an awe-inspiring glow on the trials of those accused of crimes.

The atmosphere in the grand hall was charged with hushed whispers and murmurs, a testament to the urgency and gravity of the impending trial. Distinguished members of the Imperial Council, representatives of justice, knights, and spectators all filled the space, their minds entangled in both mystery and curiosity, anticipating what would undoubtedly be a long and arduous proceeding.
