Bab 786: THIS IMPERIAL PRINCESS IS LOVED

NEOMA wasn't surprised when a few of the candidates stepped forward.

The guilty candidates probably thought it would be better to come forward after she promised that they wouldn't be charged with treason. It was better than getting caught later. Moreover, the guilty candidates were probably banking on the possibility that they could overpower her.
