[Calpheon] Trial Opening

The Court of the First Criminal Department
of the Kalis Parliament is now in session.
Case No. 286-192.
The Grand Chamberlain of Serendia's Collusion with the Shadow Knights.
Are both sides
in attendance?
Plaintiff Elina Leight NPC Knowledge,
Your Honor.
Defendant Isobelle Encarotia NPC Knowledge,
Your Honor.
Plaintiff, specify the accusation made against the defendant
and provide justification for such allegations.
Jordine Ducas NPC Knowledge, former Grand Chamberlain of Serendia,
who instilled fear in the hearts of the Calpheon citizens.
How was it he dared to point his sword at Calpheon's throat?
It was all thanks to the support of his sponsor, Isobelle Encarotia.
No one suspected it.
She was not foolish enough to openly show her support for Serendia.
Instead, she supported the Baron of Montverdel.
It was a very cunning choice.
Yes, a land of perilous ruin,
where one can hardly imagine soldiers or farmers residing.
Under this guise, Serendia secretly trained elite soldiers,
ready to be deployed at a moment's notice.
What an utter farce! You can't just accuse her out of hatred!
Out of spite!
Shh... Quiet, Jeri! Calm down!
They can't find out about the other forces Joe was raising.
Order! Disrupt the proceedings of this court again,
and you will be removed immediately. Continue, Plaintiff.
As many of you know, the Xian Merchant Guild is a jointly run venture
between House Leight and House Encarotia.
I discovered some unusual transactions while balancing last month's books,
so I took a deeper look and unearthed an unsettling truth.
The funds used for the acquisition of the Heidel League of Merchants
were actually used to support Montverdel!
I immediately informed the Duke of Serendia
and had him strip the former Grand Chamberlain of any military authority.
Then, Isobelle arranged for him to collude
with the heretics, the Shadow Knights!
He then harnessed that newfound power to trample upon Calpheon!
Our city, built upon the sanctity of Elion with the sweat of our ancestors!
They've laid waste to the Kalis Parliament,
our esteemed assembly of Calpheon's noble citizens, and left naught but ruin in their wake!
Clearly, it was a plot to eradicate the legacy of our great republic,
using Jordine NPC Knowledge as a pawn.
The vile Encarotia scheme was to seize absolute authority by regressing our enlightened,
progressive republic back to its days as a barbaric monarchy!
Your Honor, I submit the ledger of the manager of Montverdel
obtained by the Leight Merchant Guild as evidence.
What? What's going on between House Leight and House Encarotia?
Haven't they shared control of the Xian Alliance for over a decade?
Indeed. When the dust of this debacle settles,
what will become of the alliance? Will it be dissolved?
Haha. That money-worshipping House Encarotia,
their stuffed coffers will soon be made stuffed coffins. Haha.
...

I can't believe she prepared so thoroughly for this!

I thought Geoffrey's marriage to Isobelle
would save our House... How can this happen...
