The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 863

Harry's POV:

Sylvia was brought to the center of the trial platform. Laura raised her hand, signaling the crowd to quiet down.

Then the judge took to the podium with a large stack of paperwork in hand and began reading the charges against Sylvia. "Sylvia Todd colluded with the black witch and wreaked havoc in the imperial palace. She manipulated the servants with witchcraft to poison the lycan king. She even hurt Prince Rufus, causing him to fall into a coma. To this day, he is still unconscious. There is no way to dispute the evidence at this point, so she will be sentenced to death and executed immediately."

The crowd broke into discussions upon hearing the judge. Before the announcement, they thought it was all just a rumor. But now that the charges were announced, it proved all the suspicions.

"I told you she was the mastermind behind everything, but some of you didn't believe me. You should be ashamed of yourself."

"How dare she poison our king? She deserves to die ten thousand times."

"What a cunning woman! Prince Rufus was going to marry her. Maybe the baby in her belly is not his. How else could the queen have the heart to sentence her to death?"

"She is so good at pretending! We were all cheated by her before. Maybe she killed those soldiers in the forbidden forest too and pinned the blame on Prince Richard."

Damn it! What the hell was going on? How could these idiots think Sylvia was to blame for what happened in the forbidden forest?

I got more and more infuriated as I listened. Sylvia was not an absolutely vile human being. Even though she had significantly contributed to this country, her efforts were disregarded. She was now a sinner, permanently affixed to the post of disgrace. She shouldn't be wronged like this.

"Get ready to take action," Joanna whispered in my ear before vanishing into the crowd.

The judge read the charge and waited for Laura's order.

Joanna had already been lurking in the crowd, waiting for the right moment to strike. I secretly took out the smoke and flash bombs that I had already prepared from my pocket, preparing to create a commotion in the crowd to create an opportunity for Joanna.

When the bell rang from a tower in the distance, Laura rose gracefully from her chair and took two steps forward. She showed no emotions on her face as if she was indifferent to life. Even though Sylvia was pregnant with Rufus' child, she would not hesitate to sentence her to death today.

I was furious. I used to admire Laura so much and think she was a righteous Queen. But now, I was beginning to reevaluate my initial impression of her.
