Because it looks dumb enough for me to say it, well sorry if I offended you
I thought the knight was on king's side (because they were described hesitated to immediately capture MC cause it's not 100% fact and ML's aggressive words)
They should wonder tho. It was facing that bxtch, not MC. Although she was raised in status, MC's words also should not to be taken lightly (especially if those nobles don't want to get on wrong side of ML). Imo MC can't think clearly cause she's shocked by the Q (which is "she's my friend tho?") thingy.
To me it's displayed as the bad chara talked too much and the good ones silenced for whatever reasons while they should have some plans (or some founds) as the brunette's plan failed. It means only beat the bush to alert the snake
Buy some time for justice? Is he a princess in damsel? He's the judge, the justice. He should shout like "silence" or whatever cause there's no evidence point to MC, only words from that brunette and MC already spoke she should be questioned too, like she got a piece of evidence, but as justice they need to clarify it too. If she is a commoner sure the king can take her (cause noble words are more important than the commoner). And none expected the ageless guy to appear
You're right. If you're into your role too much, you will only be leaded by the person who positioned themselves as third pov (or play victim card). A clear and calm mind person won't easily cornered by such no evidence pointing words. In short, "baited"
Still as king, he didn't show his skill like what he supposed to be (iirc he's a great king with high IQ and critical thinking)
Excuse my bad english
