Alain stiffened, recognizing her voice. "Eliza?"

"I said let me in!" she repeated forcefully, brandishing her dagger.
"Okay, okay! No need for the knife!" Joseph got up and unlocked the cell door. "So you're Eliza? Geez, Alain. You didn't tell me she was crazy."

Alain looked up at her. "Eliza, what are you doing here?"

"I told you I was coming," she said, sinking to her knees and throwing her arms around him.

He buried his face in her shoulder. "Eliza, there's nothing we can do. This is really goodbye. Forever. Unless you go to my execution."

"I can't let that happen!" she argued, holding him as tightly as she could.

"How can we argue my case? It's just like the advisor said. The entire court is against me! You and Joseph are the only two who know I'm innocent. There's no proof in my favor. I'm as good as dead."

"No, you're not!" she said. "We'll figure something out." Eliza fell silent, burying her face in his shoulder with a soft sigh. "You're so cold..." she murmured.

He chuckled weakly. "This dungeon isn't exactly made of blankets."

"We need to get you out of here." She took her cloak off and draped it over his shoulders. "Alain... There's something I didn't tell you..."

He shivered, drawing the cloak closer to him. "What?"

"A few nights ago, after you'd fallen asleep, I took Arthur out because he was getting restless. When I got closer to the woods, I heard voices. It was a man who looked like he belonged in the castle and he was talking with that assassin that had tried to kill you. They discovered me listening and the man threatened to kill me if I told anyone about it. I'm so sorry, Alain. I would've told you sooner, but the man looked like he had a lot of power in his hands and a lot of contacts. I was so scared that he would have both of us killed."

Jac made her way up the steps to the throne room, knowing that her father would be in assembley with the court there. Her eyebrows raised as she noticed the six heavily armed guards stationed outside the large doors. She lowered her hood and, recognising her, they moved aside to let her enter with respectful murmurs of 'mistress Byrne' as she passed. Her quizzical expression turned into a frown once she entered the hall and saw the noblemen and women gathered together, debating in hurried whispers. What in Albion's name is going on?

Alain's eyes narrowed. "What did the man look like?"

"He had a large nose, and...beady eyes. He seemed rather thin too."

Alain gritted his teeth. "The advisor. I knew it. Eliza, you can help me at my trial! They can't kill you from a prison cell. Or the afterlife."

"What...? Alain , what are you planning? If you're going to kill yourself, so help me I will do the deed before you can."

"Mehta?" He looked confused. "No! I'm not letting that rat ascend to my throne. I mean that you need to testify at the trial!"

"I will do it, of course. Even if it means being imprisoned in your place. But what was that talk of the afterlife?"

"That's where the advisor's going to be as soon as I take the throne. At any rate, we need some physical evidence as well..."
