*Case Unproven.*

You come back out into the amphitheater and state your position simply.

"I have reviewed the evidence and find that there has not been proof of malfeasance or proof of innocence. Therefore: the case is dismissed without prejudice. Should either side obtain definitive proof of their side of the argument the case may be brought before me again, at which point should I find that evidence compelling I will rule upon it again. Furthermore, as one side has hauled the other into court without a compelling case and the other has presented questionable evidence each is to pay 'Court Costs' for the affair. It is my Will, I have Spoken!" You declare, and the gathering breaks up.

It is now approaching noon and you get ready for a much more pleasant duty, officiating at the wedding of Anci and Chicahua. This is your first state occasion and the 'palace' is pulling out all the stops. Honey, rice cakes, fried corn mush, and fruit, it's a major celebration, and you're going to enjoy it to the hilt!

Just one small thing first: You can't find the bride and groom!
