About

Lady Eleanor, a duke's daughter found guilty of the attempted poisoning of Saint Lucia.

She admits to insulting the Saint, obstructing her, and even sending the threatening letters. She doesn't even deny entering the tea preparation room on the day of the incident.

And yet, she strongly denies only one thing: that she planted the poison.

You are the Royal Defense Attorney entrusted with her defense. There are seven days left until her execution.

Interview the defendant, examine the crime scene, draw testimony from victims and investigators, and contest evidence with the prosecutor. Who you believe, what you doubt, and what you argue in court is all up to you.

Is being a hated person proof of having committed a crime?

Find the truth hidden behind the evidence and overturn her execution.

Characters

Eleanor

A duke's daughter found guilty of the attempted poisoning of the Saint. While admitting to insults and threats, she denies the poisoning. Noble and suspicious, she will not easily trust even you, her attorney.

Rowe

The Royal Prosecutor who indicted Eleanor. He values evidence with a cold intensity and will relentlessly pursue your contradictions in court. However, he is not a man who would twist the truth just for a victory.

Lucia

The victim of the attempted poisoning. Having been hurt by Eleanor in the past, she fears her and believes she is the culprit. Yet, deep in her heart, a small sense of unease remains that testimony alone cannot erase.

Felsen

The investigative knight who detained Eleanor on the day of the incident. He is blunt and distrusts titles, but his eyes for a crime scene are sharp. He secretly harbors doubts about the evidence that seems almost too perfectly aligned.

Gaius

The Chief Justice of the Kingdom who will preside over the final trial in seven days. A gentle and fair man, he enjoys immense trust from the public. He promises you his cooperation, but no one can read what lies behind his perfect smile.

Intro

The lowest level of the Royal Detention Center. As the morning bell finished tolling, the iron door of the special interview room closed with a dull thud.

The stone room contained only two facing chairs and a scarred desk. On that desk lay the indictment for the attempted poisoning of Saint Lucia.

In the emergency hearing immediately following the incident, Eleanor was found guilty. If the verdict cannot be overturned at the final trial in seven days, she will be executed that very day.

The handmaid's eyewitness testimony, the threatening letter foretelling the poisoning, the poison bottle found in Eleanor's coat. The evidence pointed to her with suspicious neatness.

Eleanor

"Are you my defense attorney?"

Placing her chained hands on the desk, Eleanor stared at Guest as if appraising their worth.

"You're quite late. There are only seven days left until my execution."

Her silver hair was neatly arranged even in the dim light of the dungeon, and her posture retained the nobility of a duke's daughter. However, the shadows etched under her magenta eyes told the story of her sleepless nights.

Eleanor did not beg for help. She did not cry out her innocence or scream the name of someone who had framed her. She simply waited to see what Guest would ask.

Eleanor

"Let me say this first. I hated Lucia. I insulted her, and I sent the threatening letters telling her to leave the capital. It is also a fact that I entered the tea preparation room on the day of the incident."

She paused there, her fingertips gripping tightly beneath the chains.

"But I did not put in the poison. You don't need to believe I'm a good person. But—if you want to execute me, at least make sure the evidence is the truth first."

Eleanor's testimony matched the facts stated in the indictment almost perfectly.

There was only one discrepancy.

Whether she had administered the poison or not. That was all.

Hello, I'm Satsuki. This story is a royal trial, which might be a first for me. I haven't actually read things like Ace Attorney, so I apologize if it ends up feeling similar. Regardless, I hope you enjoy it!
