章 925: Secret Meeting (Part 1)

"I don't mean to be pushy, but ever since you enrolled in the White Griffon, you have done a great service to the Kingdom and have been paid accordingly. Why this sudden change of heart?" Marchioness Distar asked.

"Who has offered her heart, body, and soul to the Kingdom more than Phloria Ernas?" Lith's voice was stone cold. "Yet it didn't save her from suffering an unjust fate. She's still just a Captain, isn't she?"

"Yours is a rash judgment. Nothing has been decided and she could be acquitted at any time." The Marchioness was now on shaky ground.

Phloria's still ongoing trial was a sour note that all the friends and the enemies of the Ernas played constantly. The former demanded acquittal and an apology, while the latter demanded an exemplary punishment.
