ALEX V'S. NIGHTCLUB(2)

The trial of Warren and Burren as well as the officials of the Nightorb Corp. have entered the sixth session in the course of the court trial.

A local nobleman as well as a prosecutor has read out the charges by relating the case of Lese-majeste to the case that befell the entire board of Nighorb Corp.

Prosecutors have charged him with hanged to death on the charges.

The courthouse became very fast especially when it came to a grand noble like Alex.

Even if this case is submitted to the General Court, it does not mean that this seems to provide an equivalent legal umbrella for all citizens.

However, the State General Court is one of three types of courts that are under one of the state's high court institutions, the Royal Court (Royalty Court). It oversees the Nobility Court, the General Court, and the Military Tribunal. If the General Court of the State is located only in the capital, then in each region there is a Low General Court.

The Lower General Court is a low-level court located in every county capital. The determination of the judge of this court was chosen based on the local god's discretion. So practically the result of this trial will be easily guessed by the victory for Alex's side.

Warren and Burren walked out of the courthouse after hearing a very long line of charges.

Other than them, this also dragged on other big names such as Guild Master of the Adventurers Guild of the Fertiphile branch namely Gustav Rheinberger.

"Damn!"

Burren threw all the furniture in his room.

Due to his enormous case, he was placed under house arrest at the court's decision.

With depression Burren sat on the chair while pulling his hair.

While his brother, Warren just sat pensively as if his soul had left his body.

"T-mister Burren."

An old man standing trembling in front of Burren was seen handing over a letter.

Just by looking at the head of his letter, Burren grieved in annoyance.

"So you too."

"Sorry Sir."

The old man bowed respectfully then walked out of the room.

The letter he submitted was a letter of resignation.

He is the head of Warren and Burren's team of lawyers. But now he has abandoned his duty to defend the two men.

The old man was the third lawyer to resign.

Burren never thought that the power of the nobleman named Alex was extraordinary.

Even though he still did not hold the position of count, the young noble had managed to repulse the local nobles who Burren lobbied to help himself and his brother escape the trial.

But who would have thought, now he and his brother have fallen to the lowest point.

After hearing the case of Lese-majeste presented to all the board of directors, the stakeholders, especially the shareholders and creditors, immediately cut off the relationship.

Although this case is not a civil case, but it has an impact on the performance of the company.

With the massive share sales made by the shareholders and the creditors immediately rejected the restructuring of the company's credit. Even business partners immediately cut their cooperation with the company.

Like a balloon that broke, the value of the shares fell to the lowest point and there was a net loss due to the inability of the company to pay off credit and continue the project.

The workers demanded a delayed paycheck and the adventurer guild also demanded payment of services, especially the dungeon cleaning service by the Orion party.

In the end Nightorb was declared bankrupt by a civil court in the Fertiphile General Court.

At the same time that Nighorb was liquidating, the Skavian Mining Company of Morhust entered Fertiphile.

Soon a cooperation between the Skavian Company and the Fertiphile Family was made to manage the newly discovered false dungeon in the Great Forest of Roth.

All of this went very fast. As if it was arranged very well.

"Damn, actually why did it get like this."

Although Burren was a genius boy, he could not think of anything now.

A staff member knocked on the door.

"Sir, the Adventurer Guild sent you a letter."

Burren opened the door and took the letter. Then he read it carefully.

"Dial rejected!"

Burren tore up the letter he had just read. It was because the reply letter the guild sent contained a refusal to meet him.

They've fallen.

Everyone left them.

"Nr ...."

Burren called out to Warren who was currently just sitting with a blank look.

Warren just looked at it without saying anything.

"That's ..."

Burren could not say if he now had no way to get out of the matter.

"Huh .. I get it."

Warren got up from his chair.

"I understand. You've tried your best."

Warren held his sister's shoulder.

Hard to believe, in the story of their lives and struggles, his little sister who has a small body is the source of their success.

He is the one who has set their company up to be able to continue to expand its business market.

But now all of that was destroyed just because of a noble.

Warren would never forgive that noble. The nobility who had made them fall back in a mud pit.

He would never forgive that person.

****

In the center of the capital of County Fertiphile, the City of Fertilhall, there is an area or complex filled by all courtiers. The area is the Fertiphile Judicial Complex.

The Fertiphile Prosecutor's Office is in the Fertiphile judicial complex. The complex was filled by not only the prosecutor's office but also the General Justice Building. In addition, some lawyers also built their offices there.

Right now in the prosecutor's office a group of people are having a discussion.

The prosecutor appointed by the Fertiphile House, Sir Dwight Potter Tivrial

It is currently lobbying the Seized Goods Storage Authority. They are the institutions responsible for storing various kinds of confiscated objects on court orders.

“Master, I really can't do that.”

The Head of the Seized Goods Storage Authority replied hesitantly.

“I know Sir but you know, this is a direct order from Mr. Interim Governor,” replied Attorney Dwight.

“But still, returning evidence while the justice system is still running is impossible.”

Prosecutor Dwight had earlier received a secret message from the Chief Servant of the Fertiphile House on behalf of the Interim Governor, Alexander Ivanov Fertiphile.

The message ordered Attorney Dwight to immediately take all confiscated goods from the Nightorb Corp case to the Interim Governor.

The seizure item referred to by the Interim Governor is a bluish purple ball called the Orb of Wisdom, a stone tablet with carved runes, and seeds from a magic plant from a false dungeon. Unfortunately, all these items are a collection of important evidence brought during the prosecution. Especially when it comes to charges under the Lese Majeste article and the theft of a noble.

“My master should not say this, but if you take all that evidence, it will actually make your indictment weaken,” asked the Head of the Seized Goods Storage Authority.

“I know it but this is a command.”

“Have you attempted to contact Mr Interim Governor to say that?”

“My current master has just returned from the fief war and is in euphoria because his position has now become a baron. Do you think he wants to meet me at a time like this?”

The Head of Seized Goods Storage Authority did not reply. He just nodded a sign of understanding.

Prosecutor Dwight sighed. He shouldn't have accepted the case. Unfortunately fate says something else.

Even though the current Attorney Dwight should have the upper hand because the case he handled showed his victory, he was not at all happy.
