บท 197: "Trial Ground"

Eleanora's POV~

After a few days, finally the day of Duke Raven's trial came.

I felt my heart heavy and body trembling with each step i took towards the trial ground.

I just wanted to turn back and run away, every part of my body wanted that.

But father kept holding my hands tightly as he lead me towards the trial ground, with no emotions on his face.

Both of us was wearing the same head and heir outfits today, because of his insisting.

A pair of same white trousers and white shirt, with a blue knight suit, which represented the official outfit of our Dalton Duchy.

Long blue cape with our family emblem embroidered on it, was drapped over our shoulders and swayed in air as we walked.

What is father planning by doing this?

I couldn't understand.

But then i paused on steps, which made him stop on his steps too and look back at me.

"...I can't,"

I replied.
