Rope barriers flanked either side of the pathway leading into the court. Police had to keep a watchful eye over the paparazzi, occasionally having to shove them back over the ropes they would lean too far over.

Carriages and cars were blocked from the road, with a makeshift gate being operated by the Grand Alderman’s Service to allow those who were permitted to enter.

Among them, a short-haired brunette kept pace in between, not really caring to be seen. Her gaze was much more interested in whatever lied ahead, up the steps into the court.

Vanilla-hued columns stretched high under a pointed roof, where gargoyles sat at the edges to watch over all those who entered. Taking a deep breath, she entered with the rest of them.
