The Ministers inside the courtroom notices the Knights scattering around the hallway.
Royal doctor William is dazed by the sudden commotion. He remembers that he needs to speak with Lady Genesis and Lady Paisley. He needs the two around since they both knew the truth.
Sneakily, he slips away from the courtroom to look for the Ladies in their rooms.
Trying hard to move his feet fast, unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side as he sees a Lady standing in the hallway with eyes so cold as ice.
'Shit! I don't have a moment to speak with her! Not her!' William ponders to himself with a frowning expression.
He slows his pace and wears a poker face as he tries to submerge his uneasiness he carries.
Ignoring the pissed Lady, royal doctor William keeps bypass the woman in a subtle manner.
Yet, his actions add fuel

They all equip their bodies with some refined armors, covering from head to toe.It surely is heavy and hard for the combatants of the Silverfang Kingdom to wear those under the great heat of the sun.All of them look at each other and stop their feet. They immediately form a circle to discuss."Hey, how are we going to distract them? We can't mindlessly approach them. We did not have any invitations to get inside the premises of the Silverfang Kingdom. So???" Lady Paisley inquires in an anxious tone.Sweating from their journey while wiping his chin, Grand Duke Kristofer thinks deeply while the others do the same."Obviously, we have to trespass and make an effort to shove them away."

Lady Paisley jokes around, giggling as her shoulder shakes.However, her words were not pleasing to the Minister. It was an utmost insult to him. He stops flopping his hands and glares at the Lady. When he is about to let his anger the best of him, Grand Duke Kristofer blocks his vision to the Lady as he stands between Minister Kingsley and Lady Paisley.Lady Genesis looks at the three, and she reads their unlikely situation.
