The courtroom was left stunned with Duke Alaric's words; after all, nobody dared to say that they were dissatisfied with how the court was working, outright, it was unthinkable for any noble.
Also, to the court run by Zevryn? Anyone with a slight mind in the whole kingdom would say that he was the best ever person to run the court, the best ever leader for all.
Also if the shock that someone had dared to question the court, which indirectly meant questioning the monarch, was not enough, then this was the fact that it was Duke Veyre who had raised the question, one who everyone knew was not only the king's elder brother-in-law but also his strongest ally.
Minister Druval was feeling like the sky had fallen on him. He looked at Duke Veyre with agrieved eyes. If he had a fallout with the king, he could say anything he wanted, using his own matter. Why drag him into it?
