Chapter 93: Trapped Prey [Bonus - ]
At first, only those who knew about the tribute and slavery issues were maid to talk so Gulliver was confident since it was hard to pin the blame on him with no direct evidence.
But with Gulliver finally done making excuses, witnesses from the noble faction were finally called upon. Count Elirion and his allies who knew about Gulliver’s plots finally had their say. The noble faction had their own share of proof of Gulliver’s involvement between the hefty taxes, the false tribute, and the slavery.
Based from his experience, Count Rowell also pointed out why the information did not get of Prudencia. The other nobles and non-aristocratic faction also seconded since Count Rowell was apparently not the only one who received threats after trying to send letters outside Prudencia.
Gulliver still tried to deny thought even after most of the witnesses had spoken. However, the most important witnesses were yet to be revealed.
Arabella smiled as Gulliver paled when Odette and her older siblings entered the hall.
[She’s alive?! How come?! I received a report she failed to become an assistant of the Empress and was already disposed of.]
Gulliver frowned at Odette and looked around.
[Was she hired?!] Gulliver glanced at Arabella and she smiled at him as brightly as she could. Ferdinand glared at Gulliver for staring at her.
It was only then did Gulliver realized he was probably, already doomed.
