The courtroom door swung open as I walked in shirtless, with my trench coat draped over my shoulder.
Many eyes fell on me, watching my every movement to spot any form of weakness.
Thanks to my naturally pale complexion, it was difficult for them to tell if I was hurt or not—especially since there was no visible wound on my body.

Serena and Caelum stood beside me while my eyes scanned the court filled with familiar and new faces from the six kingdoms.

"Am I a joke to you all?"
Buzz!
Everyone in the room turned pale, glances were exchanged, and they murmured amongst each other—but none dared to speak up.
Sigh!
Exhaling loudly, I ran my hand through my hair before speaking.
