It was only when the nobles began to talk amoungst themselves, that Faramir spoke. Not wishing to be over-heard, he stept nearer the king and spoke in a harsh whisper. "Do not think I am as blind as they. I may only just have returned, but I am fully aware of the situation. There are matters at Helm's Deep, but you know I would never interupt court for that. I am not a fool, and I will not let you corrupt this courtroom with your biased and impartial judgements." Faramir stopped, and it was apparent that the king still did not follow his words. "Alright. Let me put it this way. You would not show any favouritism to this particular servant girl, would you? This trial has nothing to do with the fact you spent last night with her, does it?" He could tell by the look on the King's face, he was on the right tracks. "Two days ago, you suffered a near-fatal injury, after or during which the Queen dissapears. You make little or attempt to find her, and the next night you share with another woman!" His voice was getting louder, and he knew he would have to be careful, or others would hear. "And," He finished off, "you have the nerve to wear her necklace. I have always admired and respected you, but now I realise that I will have to act as I see fit." He paused again, and then finished, spitting the words with venom, "You disgust me." Before turning away to address the crowds.

"All of you." People turned to see the speaker. "All of you, I see this court will never give an impartial judgement on this case. I would disregard all sentances on this matter. However, the only one to overrule me is Elessar, and I would ask him to very carefuly consider his options and motives before continuing."

So Elessar knew that he knew. But would he listen? Would he just ignore the steward, or would he at least take some of his advice? There was only one answer, and only the king could give that.
