True justice is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of fairness.
Zane's trial officially ended.
The Emberlord announced it with his own mouth.
Murmurs spread around but it was only the Halocrats who did that.
The Commoners simply sighed as it was finally over.
They were pressed between the rich and the extreme poor, not sure where their judgement should be.
If they sided with the Gutterborns, the Halocrats won't like them and if they sided with the Halocrats, their conscience won't like them.
They simply came here to study, not join politics.
The Emberlord clapped his hands.
"That will be all for the day. Go to the dorms to study. Half the morning is already gone."
No legs moved until…
"Go!"
Coin raised his voice.
All the second thoughts vanished and everyone began leaving the Cathedral.
Zane and the others would have done the same if not for the Emberlord gesturing them to stay.
