I dunno how to tag but...
"imagine you were there being one of the knights seeing a girl crying shaking in fright , telling you she did it. Ummmm, I probably would’ve believed Beatrice."
Nah, I can't relate. I am a very logical person and I have trust issues so the first thing I do here is doubt.
Also, if the King wants true justice to be served through due process, he should order the knights to arrest both girls and be investigated, not just Raeliana. He knows they both have beef with each other. He's pretty calm for someone who just lost his queen. He could have used this drama in his advantage if he really wants to help them. Someone just assaulted a member of the royalty and he could have ordered to have both arrested for possible treason. It would have made things look more fair, not just one-sided prosecution.
Aside from Reali, everyone else lost their brains. I still don't see why no one doubts Beatrice.
Imagine if every woman could just cry and tremble while saying they're innocent then there won't be any woman in jail now. Knights shouldn't think with their D, ok. The enemies could just send a female assassin to the King and it'll all be over.
This situation still dumb af
