The Emperor's face instantly darkened like the sky before a storm. He stared closely at the so-called evidence, his brows knitted tightly together. "Are there witnesses?" the Emperor demanded sharply.
The official turned slightly, signaling several people behind him to step forward. These individuals looked panicked, yet they all pointed their fingers at the Third Prince in unison. "We saw with our own eyes that the Third Prince had a secret meeting with the rebels, and he has spoken with the National Grand Master in private many times to discuss treason."
Trembling with rage, the Third Prince glared at the witnesses and retorted loudly, "You are making false accusations! I have never met any rebels, and my interactions with the National Grand Master were entirely normal. There is no intention of treason whatsoever!"
