Chapter 550: l Am Not Capable Of That

"Riley?"

"Good afternoon, Aerith"

Everything becaressively and blatantly trying to avoid her, now no longer le pair of eyes was the only one she could see now—quite literally

Riley was standing right in front of her, blocking the view of the throne She wasn't hearing anything, and knowing Riley, he probably placed a telekinetic bubble around them

"When—"

And for the first ti in front of themarian royalty several ti?" Aerith could really only raise an eyebrow; the tone of her voice, slightly a to you, Aerith"

"Aerith of House Hel!"

A loud voice then reverberated throughout the entire throne hall as the bailiff announced Aerith's arrival, calling for her to walk to her station And even then, however, almost no one stood up to pay attention; they were a few, but most of the

"" Riley turned to look up at Aerith, before standing up and walking to the side to give her space to walk Seeing this, Aerith could really only let out a small but very deep breath

"So, Hera was actually able to bring you here," she then said, "So, how is the Theran experience so far? I told you, themarians are all inherently psychopaths"

"" Riley tilted his head to the side, before observing the people in the throne hall, "My experience has been okay so far, Aerith They seem norh and close her eyes, "I forgot who I was talking to"

"It's me, Aerith," Riley's eyes quickly widened ass he looked Aerith in the eyes, "It's Riley Ross"

"Wha—Yeah, I knoho you are!"

"That is good," Riley then let out a sain later, Aerith"

"No one's allowed to visit h Riley, however, did not see an unusually tall woman and awith the other audience

Even on Theran, Riley gathers the weirdest of co to walk toward the throne but noticed the tall woht in the eyes

"" Aerith just raised an eyebroondering who this was But after a few lances, Aerith finally walked across the carpet; standing on the pedestal—no, standing on the stage that was set for her

"Aerith'Hel!"

And as soon as her foot touched the pedestal, the bailiff's voice once again reverberated through the hall

"Guilty of leaving Theran, and abandoning her duties as the Princess of Hel, fully knowing that she is the only re Arthus Despite the King's orders, Aerith'Hel left, leaving a bad exaeneratio—"

"She left to find and hunt Caitain'Ur!" And before the bailiff could finish his introductions, one of the people from the audience raised his voice, "She did it for—"

But alas, his mouth, however, was quickly covered by the people around him

"Be reminded that you will be thrown out of the throne hall if you talk unnecessarily," the bailiff glared at the heckler, before clearing his throat and proceeding with the introductions,

"At the year 5,455 of the Rule of King Arthus, Aerith sent 10 guards loyal to the kingdodo our beloved home, Theran…

…Even now, their family mourns their loss"

And with those words, the throne hall that was filled hispers anddown

Riley watched as Aerith's eyebrows also started to furrow; her breaths that were beco heavier by the second, obvious for him to see even from the distance

They called it a trial, but no one was even defending Aerith She just stood in front of the throne…she just stood in front of the kingdom for everyone to see her shame This isn't a trial—it's a show

"This is treason to the highest of degrees; treason that our Kingdom has never seen before And in accordance to the law…" The bailiff broke the silence as his loud words alh everyone's ears, "Aerith'Hel is to be sentenced to Eternal Death!"

"" Riley's hands started to roll into fists as he heard the bailif's words

"We are now once again gathered here to today to witness the fair trial of Aerith'Hel!" The bailiff continued, "Initially, today was going to be the day our honorable jury would decide Aerith'Hel's fate But the defendant has presented another witness for us today!"

The audience's whispers once again traveled in the air As for Aerith, the only thing she could really do upon hearing the bailiff's words was to sigh and shake her head

A neitness that she wasn't aware of—there could only be one
