Whether or not that happens is entirely dependent on two things: Princess Luna's verdict, which we cannot predict, and your behavior when you give testimony—which we can. I do not know who will be cross-examining you on behalf of the Royal Guard, but if he is as aggressive as any decent prosecutor, he will keep asking you the same questions in the hopes that you contradict yourself or become agitated. Should he discover his line of questioning is getting under your skin, he will press on, in the hopes of you giving something away you'd rather not."
