The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 319 [Third-Person's POV] An inquisition. That was what the general public was after. The region, itself, was still in semi-shock over the fact that Alexander had declared war against the Royal Family. Unlike the last two trials that had been held within the actual justice building, Alexander saw it fit to have the case take place in the palace itself. Everyone was eligible to attend. In fact, Alexander and Evelyn were instant upon it. "Total transparency," she had told him. "Everyone needs to see you as a new and open kind of monarch.

One that they feel they can put their trust in." "While you did storm the palace and cause bloodshed, they need to see it was all done in the public's best interest," Oliver added. Alexander rolled his eyes. "More like he kidnapped my wife and | was gearing up to decapitate the son of a bitch," he muttered. Evelyn gave him a pointed look and shook her head. "Alexander, please. We need to find a way that places you in the best possible light here.

After all, no matter what angle you want to ---- look at this situation-you're the one who led the rebellion and overtook the throne." "She's right, sir. What we need is people's understanding and trust." It wasn't as though Alexander didn't care about the public's opinion; however, his interests were purely centered around wanting to disband whatever illegal trades and dealings Gregory had in place. He was fed up with the corruption. But he knew that Evelyn and Oliver had a point. Without the public's acceptance, there would be nothing but anarchy which was the last thing he wanted to cause.

"alright, alright," he conceded. "You're right. | need to show that I'm not just another treacherous king wanting to take over everything." Today was the day when the region would finally learn of the dark secrets that built the crooked foundation of their long- standing government. The palace was packed. If there were a single stitch of room to be found, it was swiftly taken up by another eager spectator. Naturally, these sorts of hearings were overseen by the King. Well...

This time around, Alexander had called in the judge to oversee ---- the case hearing In such a rare, historical moment, the older man sat on the actual throne while Alexander stood in front of him and the collective jury. Beside him, no more than ten feet away, was Gregory. The man had been dressed down from his typical royal attire and made to appear like everyone else. "| have to say, Alexander, I'm a bit shocked by your actions, to say the least," the judge began. Alexander curtly nodded. "Your Honor, | am more than willing to own up to my actions.

Yes, they were rash but it wasn't without reason." Everyone was honed in on the conversation. "For years, the Royal Family has been governing over this region. They've been implementing the laws in such a way that only applies to its citizens all the while, conveniently, excluding themselves. Your so-called King is nothing more than a ring leader in our region's underground trade market." A majority of the was consumed in gasps and muffled murmurs. Oliver stepped forward and handed the large file of evidence they had gathered on Gregory's sketchy activities over to the judge.

"Weapons, drugs, jewelry, high-cost luxury items-all of it has ---- been illegally passing to and from our region to other parts of the world. He's placed unnecessary taxes on everyday necessities while pocketing that extra money for himself." Gregory spoke out a violent wave of anger. "He's lying!" he snarled. "He's delusional, just like his family!" Alexander remained cool and collected. "Funny, you should bring up those people, Gregory.

Why don't we bring them out so we can have a little chat?" The room watched in silent intensity as two guards stepped forward with Caroline Kingston standing meekly between them. The woman looked as disheveled and frail as Gregory did.
