Indeed, I'm sure all that "evidence and testimony" were bias as fuck and anyone with sense would notice their lies, but the prince and his asskissers, NOPE! Just PROOF that the "Upstart commoner was arrogant and abusing her position!" Reminds me of the Case of Gideon that resulted in the Miranda Right where he was first condemned on the testimony of one witness to the crime he was suspect of.......who later turned out to be the LOOKOUT for the ACTUAL Suspects! The Prosecution WOULD have found this out if he hadn't been so FULL of himself that the case was a slam dunk with that witness that he didn't have to do anything more! Must have been SWEET when in Gideon's re-trial this got exposed, I'm assuming they looked like FOOLS once all the information THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD ON THE "WITNESS" came out during the cross-examination!

I love her adopted parents! They're making SURE those who harmed Michelle would NOT get away with it! He's going to look like a fool once those who WEREN'T ungrateful for Michelle aid give COUNTER-Testimonies that are FAR more creditable then the OBVIOUSLY fake ones, and once as this chapter showed he discovers "the donations" shit was arranged WITHOUT Michelle's knowledge or blessing, most likely with STEPHANIE'S encouragement! He's going to look like that scene in old loony tune cartoons when the character REALIZED they were a sucker as they stared at the audience in realization horror as they took the IMAGE of a "Sucker Lollypop" This will assure his reputation is in the MUD because "he said he had all that evidence, but DID HE do his job CONFIRMING Saint Michelle WAS a wicked Saint, or did he do a BIAS job to put Saint Stephanie into a position she OBVIOUSLY didn't deserve!"

As you said with Cause and Effect! I think you can hold that more on Stephanie as well! She never bothered to confirm if what she was doing was a good idea, she just ARROGANTLY believed because of her "pedigree" that she was more deserving, and the boycott she likely arranged only WEAKENED the Capital Saintesses and herself, while they send away THE ONLY PERSON DOING THEIR JOBS! I will LOVE to see the other Saints WHINING about all their lost PRIVILAGES, breaktime and sleep their missing because Michelle is gone and with her "the cover that showed thy WEREN'T doing their FUCKING jobs!" At least you can take pleasure in that scene with all of them putting energy non stop that I think I can say, do to their neglect and Michelle growing strength making the barrier now demand the amount of power she was giving off 24/7! Them all combined is tossing a Bucket of Water into a CRATER THE SIZE OF A 5 MILE WIDE BLOCK.....PER DAY! I mean as the man said, they can't do ANY Healing because all the energy was going to the Barrier! Pathetic that Stephanie DARED to believe she was ANYWHERE near Michelle's power level! But the Prince is real scum, if he DID his job and NOT acted in bias, he might have REALIZED the flaw with the SAINTESS being lazy and not doing their JOBS and fixed the issue before it got that big, but he was Arrogant and full of himself, so all he showed was "just how blind a bat he really is!"
