Capítulo 122: The Courtroom [1]

The courtroom doors flung open, showing Adrien's imposing frame as he strode in, his regal bearing demanding respect. Alicia trailed him, her eyes wide with curiosity as she took in the grandeur of the space. Her eyes darted from detail to detail, observing the elaborate furnishings and the expectant expressions on the courtiers' faces.

The cacophonous noise that had filled the air suddenly subsided into a pin-drop quiet as they entered the busy courtroom. The courtiers, standing or seated, looked in the direction of the entrance. Adrien was followed by a sea of eyes, and instead of their initial look of casual conversation, they all acknowledged that the Crown Prince had arrived.

Alicia, aware of the sudden shift, maintained her composure, though the curiosity in her eyes remained unabated. Amidst the anticipation, soft murmurs and whispers swept across the room like wildfire.
