Rebecca gasped out as her eyes widened and she tried to scramble back as she heard his shout, then she just barely felt the tips of several daggers and she stopped moving. She glared at James, betrayal in her eyes as she trembled slightly, she knew that aldultry was punishable by death and she wondered briefly if she were to be put to death with her husband, perhaps, it would be better that way. She was actually hoping for it as she glared at James, turning her head away, refusing to finish. She picked up the sheets slowly as to not get pricked by one of the daggers and wrapped it around herself, concealing herself from the eyes of many as she looked at the guards and back at James, "You know what, I don't care if they decide to punish me by death, it'd be better than being with you!" She spat in his directions, before the guards hauled her to her feet and pushed and prodded her out the door, after they had allowed her to slip back into her dress and shoes, before shooing her out of the door and towards the castle where council would be held.

After the queen had left to the council James had gripped his robe and put it over himself once more. He smiles as he walks out of his doorway and uses his horse to get to the council before the hearing. he begins thinking to himself before he enters the doors" my plan is just abut to unfold itself." the doors wing open and he walked inside the council room ready to talk his robe off to his people and seal this deal once and for all.
The council all gathered at the very word of what has happened as the eldest of all of them sat at the center of them. He was the final say so with the council and was fair as far as votes go and very strict on his word. the old man looked to the queen with not an ounce of pity as he says" your majesty you have been caught in the act of adultery. You'e husband is planning to be executed so this matter is no longer within his hands. We will start your hearing this instant."
before anyone else could utter a single syllable afterwards James burst out saying" my council if I may. I wish to speak on the queens behalf since I am the one she chose to bed with after all." He then glared to the queen and winked a bit as he made his way to her slowly.

Rebecca was pushed and prodded into the council room and she shot a glare at the guards as they moved to block the only entrance and the only exit. She turned to face the council, flattening her hair with one hand and looking up at the men of the council. She shivered slightly, bit her bottom lip and looked down, ashamed, then looked back up. She had no reason to be ashamed she was blackmailed and coerced which was an equally punishable crime as well and she glared at the men who stared at her without pity. She would say what was on her mind as soon as she could, but before she could, she heard Jame's outburst. She swallowed hard, she wanted to speak on her own behalf, that way she could reveal James for what she was and she tried to protest, "My council, I believe I am quite capable of speaking on my own behalf, and need no one to do so, especially not James." She shot a glare at James as he started to walk towards her and she took a step back only to have a guard come up behind her and act as a barrier for any further movement as she stared at him, watching him come closer. She bit her bottom lip, once again, hoping that the punishment would be death as she looked to the council and back to him.
The council began whispering after she spoke out to them. not much could be translated because the whispers were low and tiny.
James of course knew that i she spoke on her own behalf she might make hr punishment death in spite of her husband being locked up for the same thing so he knew he had to do something. He then simply stood before the council and yelled" great and wise council hear me. The queen wishes to speak for herself but before you even entertain the idea of this. Let me state that she has been hiding from you for months and when you finally find her you see her doing injustice? More so with a cherished council member. i employ you to think this over very well."
The whispers at that moment grew louder but still could not be deciphered by anyone since i seems that their argument has raised into somewhat of an uproar.

Rebecca's eyes widened as she heard Jame's speak up and she cringed at the uproar, knowing that now, she couldn't even get an arguing word in without yelling herself. She tried to back up towards the door, looking at the guards behind her, as she scooped up her dress in one hand, taking a few more steps back away from the uproar as she tried to speak, pleading with them, "no....please....let me speak for myself, please." Her lower lip trembled, but she refused to cry in front of the council, though, her eyes glistened with the threat of tears, as she jutted her chin out, refusing to be intimidated by them, as queen, she was high above them, and able to create laws and she shouted above the uproar, "STOP! I said I wanted to speak for myself, and that's final."
