There had not been a trial for many years now. Not on this big a scale, at least, because rulers of their respective tribes took care of the internal matters by themselves. The Elders Council oversaw the city's administration with the kings' approval, but the one on trial right now was one of those same Kings. It was shameful for the entire Fox tribe because their King was accused of murdering a female. The same king who had done something like this before in the past.
"I can't hide the truth just because I don't like him" Lyra said as she was getting ready for today's trial. She was expected to appear before the council because she was involved with what occurred in the Eagle tribe together with Kyrell. While she felt this was reasonable, her mates thought otherwise. They were vehemently against her going to the trial and supporting Xavier.
