Charlotte thought that she would be asked to testify about some matters, but it turned out that her presence was not even necessary.
Moreover, the evidence prepared by the nobles was so shocking that even Charlotte was stunned.
For instance, the accusations of abusing bloodline nobles and murdering kingdom vassals were extreme. Some nobles accused the Third Prince, Philip, not only of abusing his wife but also of abusing his half-sister from a different mother, Princess Margaret of the New Moon Kingdom, leading directly to her eventual depression and suicide.
Charlotte was astonished by this unexpected revelation.
To her knowledge, there indeed was a princess in the New Moon Kingdom named Margaret, born of a servant and overlooked by the King, who died of illness before the age of fourteen.
She had never imagined such a secret!
