Marle then enters the room, and the King tells her he is being framed. The Chancellor then says that if he is innocent, then he should "confirm the matter with proof". The Chancellor goes on to say that if the King "has not sold the heirloom, it should remain within the castle." He asks Marle to bring the Rainbow Shell before the court, "and his innocence will be beyond question", though he says that he does not expect them to succeed. Marle and the party are then removed from the court. | Marle then enters the room, and the King tells her he is being framed.

As the party searches for the basement of the castle for the Rainbow Shell, the court case continues. False witnesses are brought in to testify against the King, with one person saying that the King sold the heirloom to him because "he looked so desperate for the money". Eventually, it is time for a verdict. The result is four votes of guilty to a single of not guilty. The King is then found guilty, and the Chancellor exclaims that the kingdom will be his and demands the King be taken away. | |||
Just before he is taken away, however, Marle bursts into the courtroom and reveals the [[Rainbow Shard]], saying that the Chancellor's scheme for power has failed. However, the Chancellor tells the party that they are the ones who "had better give up" and that if he "can't avenge [his] ancestors the easy way" he will do it the hard way. He then transforms into [[Yakra XIII]] and fights the party, though he is defeated and leaves behind an object. | |||
The King tells Marle he is sorry he was so stubborn, though Marle says that she "didn't even think about how [he] must have felt" and that she knows what to say but "the words just won't come out." The King says that it is the same with him and that there was a time when he thought she was lost to him but now when he thinks about it, he realizes that it was him who abandoned her. Marle says that they will talk about everything from now on, saying that she will ask him for advice, tell him about [[Crono]], and ask him about [[Queen Azila|her mother]]. At hearing this, he tells her that he is ashamed to admit it, but it has taken him until then to understand her final words, which were, "Someday, when Nadia is older, she'll bring someone she loves to meet you. Welcome the two of them with open arms." Surprised that he heard the Queen's last words, the King explains that she was so young she probably doesn't remember them because she kept saying, "Daddy, I love lots of people! Lots and lots!" This reassured the Queen, seeing her so happy and that she left them with a smile on her face. She asks if she really did call her "daddy", which the King says she did, and decides to call him "daddy" from now on. They leave the courtroom and head to the throne room. | |||
At the throne room, the King tells Marle that she has permission to leave the castle, though he expects the utmost caution from her and asks the party to keep her safe. [[Melchior]] then enters the castle and wants to make armor using the Rainbow Shell. The party then go back to the courtroom and pick up the object left behind by Yakra XIII, which turns out to be a key. They use the key on a chest in a nearby room and unlock the real [[Chancellor]], who tells them he has to prepare for the [[Moonlight Parade]] and runs off. | |||
