Elf Princesses

Episode 34's. Court

Trial day

No need to wait long, sure enough, Zac accepted Rubby's request so quickly. He took care of everything in just one night, and now, it was time for the trial of Marquess Ahen.

"Rubby, come here." Zac smiled as soon as Rubby came and occupied his throne.

"Thank you" said Rubby, closing his eyes.

"For what?" Zac scrunched his forehead.

"It must be difficult to prepare, but you can prepare this all with just one night" replied Rubby with a faint smile. At first, Rubby thought Zac would definitely rewind the day because one night was too soon, and he also felt guilty for deciding too soon. But in fact Zac can prepare it well in just a very short time.

Far from that, now, Rubby's eyes caught the figure of a man with both hands tied by a rope and a face full of dust and wounds. Rubby tried to think for a moment.

Was that man tortured last night? inner Rubby.

Rubby smiled coldly, he could not bear the pleasure of seeing a man who had been very proud of him even sitting weakly in front of the judge and himself.

Zac looked at Rubby's face, the man smiled faintly and looked back at the main character this time, Marquess Ahen.

And, of course don't ask who has battered that man today.

****

Bugh..

"You should have known, didn't you, the reason for my coming here?" the heavy voice of a stranger, echoed in that place.

Zac, the man stared intently at a man who was kneeling before him, and of course that man was Marquess Ahen.

Now both of them are in the dungeon, and all of that happened due to the incident that befell Marquess Ahen at the party tonight.

The deg!

The heart of Marquess Ahen seemed to stop for a moment, the man even held his breath and did not dare to look at Zac who was introgating himself.

Zac took a rough step, sweat started pouring down Marquess Ahen's face. Who wouldn't be afraid if they had to face a man with a sword on his waist? Meanwhile, now Marquess Ahen just bent his knees with his bare hands hoping to be forgiven.

"Ha..why do I call such an honorable title? Isn't.. The title will automatically disappear because you're gone soon?" Zac smiled cynically.

The man again raised his voice as soon as he had been right in front of Marquess Ahen.

"You think I don't know what you've been doing out of bounds with my wife all along?!" Zac said with great emphasis. The man looked at Marquess Ahen with a murderous gaze, and a dark aura was embedded within him.

"Sa. I can explain it, Sire. I beg-" suddenly Marquess Ahen stopped her speech as soon as Zac grabbed her collar and pulled himself closer to the Emperor's body.

"The arrogance and disrespect you always show my wife, YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW?" zac's tone of voice rose, and it was enough to show how angry he was at the man before him.

"Sa. I don't understand what that woman is telling you, Sire. But, I behave like that because I'm on your side!" elak Marquess of Ahen. He's good at making lies, but that doesn't happen in front of Zac.

"Ha... still want to lie apparently?" Zac let out a rough breath.

Bughh..

Back, a hard blow again hit the face of Marquess Ahen so that the man's face was battered and full of injuries.

Bugh..

Bugh..

Marquess Ahen's body crashed onto the ground, and a sharp gaze was again shown by the figure of a man who was none other than Zac.

"You should know the limits." Zac said loudly. The man finally showed a slight smile. More precisely, a smile that likens someone who wants to prey on.

"Tomorrow, I'll take you to court. And remember, never do anything strange to my wife! Or if not, then I'll take care of you myself....,"

"At that moment!" zac insisted before finally the man completely disappeared from the extremely narrow and dark dungeon.

****

Back to Real Life.. Trial.

"As you already know, that the actions of Marquess Ahen are far from decent. He who has a high title should not do anything dirty without the Emperor's knowledge." said the judge began to raise his voice, meanwhile, Marquess Ahen just fell silent with a soft and very weak face.

"Because this trial was held on the orders of His Majesty, it is certain that the accused will get his sentence in accordance with the evidence and explanation that has been given."

"But before that, I will allow the defendant to say one thing to the public. And everything that is said must be true without the slightest lie" the judge explained.

"Most men will tell lies again, right? He's a hypocrite"

"Shall His Majesty give him such leeway? Ah, not exciting!"

Back, the rants of the people who were also present there began to sound. Many of them disagreed over the leniency of the Judge. But how else, every defendant will also be given the same thing, right?

"Please," the Judge stared fixedly at Marquess Ahen's face. The man looked weak helpless, yet it seemed like he was going to say something this time.

"Before I am put to death, I want to ask His Majesty for one thing" said Marquess Ahen weakly.

"Say." Zac said briefly, the man did not show the slightest smile, which he instead showed a cold and serious look at the moment.

"I want Baron Jones also to be put to death, along with my punishment."

The statement made by Marquess Ahen made a sudden atmosphere of silence, plus, the familiar name was very familiar to them, especially Diana, the woman who stood in a row at the corner.

Barons.. Jones's? Diana bit her lower lip. What say? Baron Jones? What does that mean to her ex-husband? Diana thought chaotic

"What's your reason for saying that?" Zac asked with great emphasis.

"He was. He also once enslaved women. He bought the woman I brought from a village far from the empire, and.." Marquess Ahen swallowed his coarse Saliva. He saw Baron Jones who was also present at his trial now.

"Is what Marquess Ahen said a reality, Baron?" Zac turned to look at Baron Jones, he already knew that Baron Jones also came.

Suddenly, Baron Jones' face flushed. The man's body trembled. "I. Where could I do it! Sire, don't trust sinners like him!" elak Baron Jones's.

Meanwhile, there were eyes that looked fixed on the man's face. Diana, the woman who was still standing, was looking at the point that Baron Jones, her ex-husband, could not get rid of.

It's been years, and our meeting.. Diana fell silent, was it true what Marquess Ahen said that her ex-husband was involved? the woman wondered in her heart.
