Guinevere Ashford stood. "I would like this court to explain something to me."
She looked at the room the way a woman looks at a stage she intends to burn down.
"Agnes Viremont. Now Agnes Darkhowler. Poisoned Serena Frostborne multiple times. Documented. She drugged a Crown Prince. She faked a pregnancy. She conspired with her father, a man this entire court knows is a traitor, to replace Serena as Dexmon's mate. She systematically destroyed a matebond."
Guinevere held up her manacled hands.
"She got a crown."
Four words that hit the courtroom like a battering ram. An elder in the front row shifted in his seat. Another looked at the floor. A third looked at Tiberon, and Tiberon looked at nothing, because Tiberon had already done the same math and arrived at the same answer a long time ago.
