Princess Thalia's body trembled in fear the moment she heard her brother's last remarks.
'Oh no! He found out!'
She struggled to break free from her brother's grip, but Prince Cassian held her tightly. In a moment of fear and confusion, the door was pushed open. A heavily wounded man was brought to them by Captain Avan.
Princess Thalia gasped upon recognizing Chancellor Igrin. His entire body was covered by cuts and bruises.
"He already confessed." Captain Avan informed them. "I have here the list of his accomplices."
"Go and capture the traitors. I will be the one to explain this to my parents," Prince Cassian commanded the royal guard captain.
"I shall see to it, your highness!" Captain Avan responded before letting go of Chancellor Igrin.
He was shackled, unable to move his limbs. Chancellor Igrin was finished, barely clinging to life. Seeing his terrible state, Princess Thalia couldn't help but drop to her knees.
