Behind The Castle's

**just**

The day Victoria was waiting for arrived. It's the first time Victoria has set foot in a partment building, the first time she's faced with so many gentlemen, the first time she's going after such an important decision, the first time will judge with a purpose that must be in accordance with his wishes. If not a butcher's axe, then a gallows. Whatever happens, six men are now sitting in the middle of the meeting room and surrounded by tables and chairs. They must die for their sins.

Not the nervous face, not the agitated movements, not the anxious movements that the seventeen-year-old woman showed but, the flat, firm face and cold gaze that she showed. The noise and whispers that continue to be done all gentlemen with the status of those who have their contributions to the parliament, making Edward continue to glance at Victoria. There was a bit of anxiety but also a sense of enthusiasm for the woman whose master Edward buried her in the ground.

"Let's start our agenda, Your Highness Princess Victoria and the gentlemen" Albert's voice made an instant state of silence. "I'll go straight to our goal"

Albert glanced at his in-laws who continued to reread the evidences of sin in their hands. Albert started by approaching Victoria's chair and whispering

"What do you want Her Highness?"

Strictly and coldly Victoria replied without staring at her Uncle

"Public execution"

Albert was silent for a split second staring inside his nephew. Victoria looks like Victoria but not Victoria.

"All right, I'll try"

"You 'must' Earl Albert"

Albert simply took a deep breath and walked closer to the six seats in the middle of the meeting room, and began his agile mouth action

"Saperti was already on our agenda a few days ago. Embezzlement of capital development funds, theft of dam funds several years ago, construction of prostitution sites on land belonging to churches that were seized forcibly, slavery, human trafficking, hiding evidence of rape in fourteen women and underage girls committed by their family members, harassment and attempted murder of royal members and.....

"That's all Earl Albert's lie!"

Adam's voice immediately brushed off all of Albert's unfinished words. Albert looked at Adam coldly

"If you can't be quiet before it's time to defend yourself, I'll stuff your mouth with your own shoes. Believe me Baron Adam, I will not hesitate in my house"

Inevitably, Adam immediately silenced and Albert continued

"And planning a rebellion movement to bring down the 'candidate' of His Majesty's chosen wife" Albert glanced at his brother-in-law who had folded his hands on the table with a serious and calm face. "All the evidence that we have also discussed a few days ago, is there a question?"

And at the beginning of all the questions and explanations that were immediately given Albert and his brothers-in-law, the men with family ties the owner of the main parliament room. Every now and then all six suspects rejected the evidence, yelling no acceptance and screaming disowned but, Albert nimbly twisted and turned the question with his natural talent of mouth and intelligent brain. Obviously the suspect's situation is getting cornered, although several times the defense gentlemen give their arguments but, the evidence is very strong and precise especially, which they are facing Albert's mouth.

"This is not true Ealr Albert, the incident was already a few years ago and did not look any chaos, only the evidence of data is not real. After all, for the issue of slavery and human trafficking as alleged is because they are appropriate. The taking....."

"Then everything doesn't look real. Embezzlement and the theft of people's rights can be justified by the Marquess? And do you think other humans are just like animals that can be sold for their lives?"

The fed-up Victoria and emotion instantly snatched the suspect's defense's words while standing up from her chair with a cold face

"You can't come talk Your Highness"

With the corners of her lips drawn upwards, Victoria stared at the defender with her head tilted

Albert who saw that Victoria had advanced left indifferently while retreating towards his desk, his in-laws were also seen already pulling the audience seats.

Albert who also felt his throat dry immediately grabbed the glass by sticking his buttocks on the edge of the table while observing his nephew who had now walked forward to the middle of the suspect with a cold face. This scene reminded her of the past, Victoria's face that was very similar to her brother, making her nostalgic and that feeling was the same as her sisters-in-law.

"Honored gentlemen" Victoria halted her steps to the center of the room, in front of the seats of the six suspects, looking at all the faces sitting around the suspect. "The building for the people has great hopes for their lives going forward but those hopes are lessened shamelessly by selfish people. The dam funds stolen are very useful for the preparation of the possibility of leakage without the need to waste time to make a request first to the palace, we can immediately move for first aid on the dam while waiting for the palace. The construction of prostitution on the land of the Church that was seized?..." Victoria's dissecting with hardened jaws. "I think the gentlemen can judge for themselves how unethical it is especially because the land was taken by force, even though on the grounds that the church was destroyed by an earthquake a few years ago but still, it was, seizing is a disgusting thing especially on the land where people chant praise to God"

"You have no right to judge us! you also have no right to speak here 'Her' Highness!. Earl Albert's! how can you let a woman talk"

Adam shouted again. Albert casually folded his arms and glanced at Victoria who was looking at him with a look of help, because obviously, the rules in the book are not like this.

"Baron Adam, 'Her' Highness is not 'woman'... He is 'Her Highness'. I won't bring the future but...." With a shitty face, Albert played his nails. "Her Highness holds the seal of the King, do I need to explain his meaning at this hearing...?"

Victoria's lips immediately grinned while replying to the blink of an eye that Albert gave her. And Victoria came back out with her slick mouth and brain

"Protecting families who rape and abuse women? I know and it wouldn't be hypocritical if we had the power, we would protect our own families but, think about what happened to the victim to the wife, your daughter or your other female family, I as a woman who has also felt how..." Victoria's head immediately turned to Adam with cursing teeth. "HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE ABUSED!!! even they wanted to kill a weak woman like me who could not resist even the slightest bit of manpower"

After speaking, Victoria rubbed the dry end of her eyes with a face that was parched and 'looked' sad.

"What game are you trying to play Her Highness?. What do you want?"

A defender with a geeky face looked at Victoria who was playing her cheap drama. Victoria immediately raised her face and looked at the defender

"JUSTY"

It became very quiet with the air getting colder. No one wants to comment or ask again.

Edward immediately grinned. Lucas and Carl could only be flabbergasted, their heads only trying to remind themselves that the woman who was on trial and facing the heavy situation before them was only seventeen years old.

Feeling his stomach start to get hungry, Albert immediately raised his buttocks back from the edge of the table while glancing at Thomas and Charles who winked their shoulders indifferently. Her sisters would not be confused what else was shocked by Victoria's bravery and mentality. An Arathorn is beginning to mature.

"Her Highness, please calm yourself, we understand if this shakes you even more so make you have to remember the bad things you went through. I beg you, let me 'finish' all this. Just rest first"

With her fingers still rubbing against the dry corner of her eyes, Victoria nodded obediently and returned to her seat.

"This color is getting noon, the gentlemen also seem to have no questions so, just jump to the law. And, the punishment proposed is....." Albert glanced at Victoria who immediately gave a stern look. "Public execution"

And.. the situation is back...

Albert took a breath and returned to his skill
