Out of the blue, Sienna knelt again, crying like a heartbroken maiden at midnight. "Your Highness, this is the corruption I speak of! A grandson of a Prime Envoy who hides behind his grandfather's shadow to do evil. He bullies other children through his bloodline. He fattens himself on stolen wealth while accusing others of his sins!"
The Prime Envoy did the unexpected. He fell to his knees, crying like her. His belly was shaking with rage. "Your Highness, you know that I am not corrupt. I am the most honest official in your court. This human dares to stand before you, loudly demanding for a title of human empress she doesn't deserve. She is clearly treasonous."
Sienna's tears stopped that instant. She looked at the pretentious next to her. Did he know her history? Is that why her brought up treason?
It was the same question on the minds of the other relatives.
