Chapter 1640: She lunged at him, but he quickly overpowered her, forcing her to the floor.
Esteban's voice cut through the chaos, commanding the crowd's attention. “I, Esteban Dyson, accuse Rebecca Dyson of treason!" His words rang with righteous conviction. "This disaster is her doing! She orchestrated it to shatter the peace treaty and provoke war with Manfek! Elyse Lloyd was supposed to take the fall-but we uncovered Rebecca's true intentions." He swept his gaze over the stunned audience. "To protect my people, I will expose the truth. The innocent will not be blamed, and the guilty will not escape justice!" "Enough! I didn't do it! Elyse is the one to be blamed!" Rebecca screamed, her voice strained and raw with fury. Yet her words went unheard. The faith that once surrounded her faded, and no one believed her anymore. "Rebecca, stop clinging to these delusions," Esteban shot back, his voice taut with fury. "Tell your men to stop the bombing. Tell them to stop slaughtering our people!" Rebecca's eyes sparked with defiance as she scoffed. “What are you babbling about? I gave no orders! It was Elyse, it was you, it was Manfek! This is a plot to bring Virelia to its knees! I'm the one being played here; you've all been tricked!" Esteban's anger shifted into something colder, a look of pity crossing his features as he gazed at her. "You still refuse to face the truth?" "I haven't done a thing!" Rebecca cried, her voice rising again in a desperate pitch.

"Stop it! Esteban, I'm your sister! You can't treatlike a criminal!" But Esteban remained resolute. His hands found the hidden phone she had been trying so hard to conceal. He pressed it to her face to unlock it, swiftly locating the contact who had been on the receiving end of her orders.
He quickly typed out a message, asking the receiver to stop the bombing and withdraw the forces. Then, holding the phone up for all to see, he declared, "It's done. The bombing has ceased. This phone proves Rebecca masterminded the entire assault! I suggest we bring her to the International Court of Justice to answer for her crimes." Elyse glanced up, watching as the first bombers began to slowly retreat. Yet, Manfek's fighter jets, which had only just arrived, made no move to back down.
A wave of fear surged through the survivors.
Elyse felt the ground beneath her tremble, the chaos consuming her thoughts. Since the first bomb had fallen, everything had spiraled into the unknown, far beyond anything she could have imagined.

"Rebecca has betrayed our ally, Manfek, falsely accusing them!" he cried, his voice heavy, with conviction. "As the prince of Virelia, I offer my deepest apologies to Manfek. Please, I beg you, withdraw your forces!"
