The courtroom
Aidan sits before on a raised dias before the council, with an expressionless look. Two vampires kneel before him with their heads bowed low.
With the semblance they share, it's evident that they are brothers. The first is a high-ranking officer in Balcroft. He stands on trial having been found guilty of betraying the trust of his kingdom and going against his sworn allegiance. He was found leaking information to a rival kingdom for gold.
"Traitor," Aidan says, his voice sounding low and dangerous. "You sold us out for mere coins. You sold my people out, this kingdom. You sold me out."
The officer raises his head, his eyes filled with a desperate plea. "My King, please! It was a mistake! I was in debt, I had no choice..."
"There is always a choice," Aidan cuts him off calmly. "And you made yours." He days standing up, his shadow falling over the kneeling vampire.
