Yulan’s gaze was sharp as a blade.
She fixed her piercing, icy stare directly at Queen Belina.
The way Yulan had called her "mother" at the end—dripping with sarcasm and interrogation—made a tremor of panic rise within Queen Belina.
Could she have discovered something?
No, no. That was impossible. It was absolutely impossible.
She had hidden it so well; there was no way Yulan could know.
Just then, the gavel struck the bench with a resounding thud.
"Louisa, you are accused of maliciously tampering with medical supplies intended for Garbage Star, concealing the truth, and deceiving the public. How do you plead?"
The Chief Justice’s stern, authoritative voice rang out. The trial of Louisa had begun.
In an instant, the attention of everyone present was captured, and no one cared for the small friction between Yulan and Queen Belina anymore. Every eye in the hall turned toward the Trial Platform at the center of the room.
Louisa maintained her look of elegance, grace, and noble royalty. Facing the accusation, she showed no sign of panic; instead, she shook her head with a look of pure, bewildered innocence.
"Chief Justice, I don't know what you mean," she said. "The medical supplies I sent to Garbage Star were distributed to the people there in good order. I have video evidence to prove it."
