ALEX V'S. NIGHTCLUB(4)

The courtroom at the Fertiphile General Court was in a tense mood.

After all the long sessions in the prosecution, the judge will now read the court's decision.

Warren and Burren have been charged with multiple counts of Lese Majeste, theft, and illegal raid.

At this time the two people just sat with their heads facing down.

Everyone seemed to already know what the outcome of this trial was.

Alex is currently sitting in the prosecution line. His status as a victim.

Uniquely in all these trials, he never attended a single session.

Opposition lawyers often object to a trial that does not comply with established protocols.

Surprisingly, the judge ignored this.

Not only judges, media institutions such as the journalist guild did not highlight it at all.

Instead they continue to fry the issue of Lese Majeste carried out by the Nightorb.

From the beginning, this was a battle that was impossible to win.

Alex yawned while continuing to listen to the entire verdict manuscript read by the judge.

Generally, the person appointed as a judge in the General Court is usually the person who has been given the discretion and approval of the local lord where the court is located. This means that it could be said that this judge was a person or subordinate of the Fertiphile Family.

It could not be felt especially when the judge read out his sentence.

He often uses the term 'My Lord' or 'His Right Honourable' as a pronoun to the victim or Alex.

" … after weighing, remembering, and paying attention to, the Fertiphile Low Public Court therefore determined that the prosecution's claim was admissible and ruled that the conviction of the accused was a death sentence based on the judgment that the accused was found guilty according to the court."

Geck!

The judge knocked the hammer.

Everyone in the prosecution line cheered. Especially Clara who from the beginning continued to flood tears.

"You animals! You can do this to my son. What did my son do until he had to be insulted like this."

Even after the judge's verdict was on her side, Clara still couldn't help but get angry when she saw Warren and Burren.

The graceful lady now continued to curse the two people and even gave them a middle finger.

"Mrs, relax. I beg you."

Erline who is Clara's personal knight tries to calm her mistress.

Clara's anger indirectly makes the people who are on Alex's side also give reproach and insult to the defendants.

By the way Alex does not even know more than half of the people who are in his support line.

Are they mom's paid people? thought Alex.

"Basic bastard!"

"Go you animals!"

Even when the defendants were led out of the courtroom by the security forces, they still received insults and reproaches.

But the lawyers hired by Warren and Burren did not remain silent.

He is the new lawyer they have contracted with.

In front of the media, the lawyer will file a case with the State General Court.

The State General Court is one of the three main types of judicial institutions of the jurisdiction of the Royal Court.

Looking at it hierarchically, the Royal Court is one of the two highest judicial institutions in the kingdom. The Court oversees three types of judiciary, namely the Nobility Court, the State General Court, and the Military Tribunal.

But in the case of the common people, they can only file the highest case at the level of the general court of the country. As for the non-lord peerage, they could not even conduct a review at all so it was only up to the level of the Nobility Court. As for the Royal Court is an institution that judges nobles with lords status such as barons to dukes or even princes.

Before leaving, Burren suddenly looked at Alex hatefully. Then he screamed.

"I'll kill you! Will kill you all! You must feel the suffering! Die up! Die up! Die!"

His shout was immediately stopped by the guards, then forced him to immediately leave the courtroom.

They again cursed even some have started throwing them with books or shoes, and Clara is one of them.

In spite of all that chaos. Alex could finally return home in peace.

***

After a few weeks, Alex met with the Skavian Company.

This is a Regis-owned company that handles the mining sector.

Alex and Regis have previously made an agreement on the ownership and management of the false dungeon that appears in the Fertiphile region.

While Warren and Burren are busy confronting Alex at a criminal trial, Regis sues the Nightorb company at a civil hearing.

Finally, with the close cooperation between Alex and Regis, the two won both sessions.

By agreement they have divided their respective holdings.

Alex gets ownership of a false dungeon in a large Roth forest by 30%, Regis represented by Skavian gets 40%, and Fertiphile House gets 30%.

Of course they have to include the Fertiphile House variable. After all, the dungeon was in his territory. Although Alex is part of the Fertiphile House but at the same time he is the Head of the Alexandreia Family. This meant that he had the right to separate his personal possessions from the Fertiphile dynasty.

Regarding personal possessions, lately Alex seems to be getting a collapsed durian.

He got so many gold coins from the County of Yorksall and the County of Otilia for helping them in the fief war.

It seems that even though the two regions are in crisis but they are still willing to spend money that is not small as a gift to other nobles. Maybe it is the ego of every nobleman who does not want to be underestimated even though the area he is currently in is very sad.

In addition, he also received dividends from Skavian. Alex a year ago had planted his holdings against the company but it wasn't big. Less than 0.1%. Alex starts to think about whether he needs to buy back Skavian's shares.

 Alex is also thinking of making his own investment company. The company will manage assets owned by the Alexandreian dynasty.

Not only that, he also gained another advantage. Although not much. The profit came from the sale of the magic plant he planted in the countryside.

He sold the magic plant to the temple. It was likely that the Fertihall Shrine would become his long-term business partner for the magic plant affair.

Alex plans to move the magic plant planting site to the Barony of Alexandreia. Especially now that it was his own territory.

That way Alex can get out of Fertiphile's influence.

Ah right, I also have to recruit Francess.

Francess is a friend of Ryana and Lacey. Now she's an intern at Alex's farm. Unfortunately, he's the only person Alex knows who has the ability to care for a magic plant. Alex has to get that guy at any cost.

Speaking of Ryana and Lacey, when Alex went to the temple for the magic plant business, he didn't see the two men. A priest told him that the two women went to the capital to undergo the exam to become a Serkon[1].

We haven't told each other for a long time.

Alex smiled a little. He seemed to feel that the two women were good people and now they were quite familiar.

But the thought quickly passed because after he entered his room, he saw the object he so longed for.

The Orb of Wisdom!

Farka's Tablet!

and ....

my grains!

All of those were items he had collected during his time in the false dungeon.

Orb of Wisdom given by Erau the serpent. Farka's Tablet is a stone tablet containing ice and earth magic spells level 3 and 4 given by Farka the tortoise.

Especially this one!

Between the sets of C and B level magic plant seeds, Alex holds an A level magic plant seed. Not only that, it is not an ordinary plant.

This ...  Catastrophe Venus 

Catastrophe Venus is a giant venus plant. This plant has a creeping shape and is ranked A. This plant is very dangerous because it can prey on humans or other large creatures.

Note:

[1]Sercon: the monks/nuns who assist in every religious process. They are not a degree administrative position, but rather a group. Serkon is arguably the young priests (hierarchically, not age). (Cited from: ARCHPEDIA: Introduce the Pontificia).
