The courtroom went quiet for a few seconds.
Everyone from the Azure Haven clan was completely shocked and in disbelief.
Meanwhile, Darian noticed something through his power. He felt her karma and soul move to a single place—one of the needles in her body.
The Supreme Judge spoke calmly:
"The punishment has been carried out. Further investigations will take place, but for now, the Empire is focused on something far more important. Free all the people who were part of this clan."
At his words, the soldiers nodded and moved in, removing the chains from those who were imprisoned.
Even after being freed, no one moved. Everyone stared at Rhea's lifeless body, which Harper—the only one remotely composed—was holding.
"Darian," the judge's voice came again, making him turn around.
