Since Chiari had first informed Yaruma of the importance of her testimony, the emptiness in her stomach had only grown. Either the testimony would dismantle the very legitimacy of the Emerald Empire, or she would be quietly removed from her post, never to be seen again.

The information she has to share is bound to have dire consequences no matter how it is received, either for her or for the empire as a whole.
