Chương 429: A Trap?

The next day I sat in the imperial court. I sat in the main seat while two dukes sat below me. They were conferred the rank of Duke before I became the Empress. They were Duke Reed and Duke Waylin. They would be the judges of this court. 

Standing in shackles was the beast king himself. His hair was ragged, and he did not dare to look up at me. I can understand why. He suffered such utter defeat at the hands of Grace! Although Grace was thousands of levels higher than him but still. The imperial court was created by me. It was to ensure fairness. I was to watch over the proceedings on any case brought to the court. And with my busy schedule, one wouldn't really want to wait until I was free. But this court was for nobles only anyway, so it was hardly the case that I would need to come here often.
