''The Consorts' Defense:''
Kieran stepped forward first, his military bearing straight and formal.
"Your Majesty," he said, "I wish to present my defense."
Heena nodded. "Proceed."
"I have kept detailed records of my movements and activities for the past year," Kieran said, gesturing to a stack of documents his attendant held. "These records show that during the time period when Lady Seraphina claims conception occurred, I was leading military exercises in the northern territories. I was away from the capital for three consecutive months."
He presented signed testimonies from multiple officers and soldiers.
"Furthermore, I have never been alone with Lady Seraphina at any point. Every interaction was witnessed by guards or attendants."
