At the Supreme Court, Patrick was growing increasingly anxious.
"Your Highness, why have you summoned Sebastian? He has never examined the deceased. No matter how skilled he is, he's not a coroner."
Rafael remained calm. "Please be patient, Mr. Lloyd. Given the magnitude of this case and the uproar it has caused, if we mishandle it and wrongfully accuse someone, the entire kingdom will condemn us."
Patrick was accustomed to handling cases, so how couldn't he know that there was the slightest doubt in the case on hand? But with the perpetrator's confession, witness testimonies, and physical evidence, what ground was there for a retrial?
"It's a waste of time! Every extra day the perpetrator lives is a sign of disrespect to the victims she has murdered," he argued.
Rafael replied, "The case documents from Brightmoor District also recommend execution. It is only April, and with swift couriers, it only takes about a month for the documents to travel back and forth. Why are you so impatient?"
"When will Sebastian arrive? We've been waiting for ages," Patrick fumed, sitting aside.
Though it was unwise to speak too harshly to the Hell Monarch, his displeasure was evident on his face.
The two deputy ministers shivered in fear. Patrick wasn't intimidated by the Hell Monarch as his daughter, Sylvia, was highly favored by the king. On the other hand, the two deputy ministers didn't have daughters who were the king's favored concubines.
Just as Patrick finished speaking, Rafael's deputy minister, Matthew, led Sebastian into the room.
Though not tall, Sebastian exuded an imposing presence. Upon entering, he cast a cold glance at Patrick. The minister quickly stood up, his previous irritation replaced by a courteous demeanor.
"Hello, Sebastian. I apologize for the inconvenience today."
"Apologies for keeping you waiting, Mr. Lloyd. That is my fault," Sebastian said coolly.

I wish there were more chapters uploaded daily. Atleast 10 per day....

I’ve read several novels, but this is the best of the best....
I hope that Rafael will not fall for Carmen. I don’t think I can keep reading if he does. Carissa deserves to have a pure and strong love with Rafael that world stand the test of time and all trials and tribulations....
