Evidence?

The Gustav's all looked at Lucy and scoffed.

Without any proof, there would never be a clear winner in this matter.

Sure!

The royals could just convict them on the spot.

But Baymard was a place like no other that valued justice, rights and freedom.

So convicting them when they didn't actively confess might only backlash on them later on.

There needed to be hard evidence and not just vocal evidence in this matter.

Of course, the Gustavs had done their own fair share of research on Baymard, so they were very clear about their rights to even drag Lucy to court and defame her if they wanted to.

After all, all they needed to do was cry, shed some crocodile tears, even refuse to eat and do other things that women typically did to get away with sh**!

It had been a skill that noblewomen throughout the Pyno continent could do.
