Elf Princesses

Episodes 35. Resignation Punishment

Suddenly the atmosphere became silent, all eyes were on Baron Jones who was struggling with sweat pouring on his face. It should be that if the man really didn't do it, he didn't need to be this scared, right?

"Dad, why did they say that? What if." a man who looked younger than Baron Jones and stood beside him was also frightened, he could not help but hold his body which displayed an unpleasant reaction.

"Shut your mouth, son doesn't know himself!" amid his frustration, Baron Jones also involved his son. He also nagged indistinctly and spoke nervously that what Marquess Ahen said was absurd and just a lie.

"Don't fake a story, you bedeb*h! Truly selfless sinners!" baron Jones said.

"If.. you really don't do it, why are you nervous, Baron?" Marquess Ahen smiled faintly.

If I have to die now, then you have to die too, damn it! inner Marquess Ahen with her hands still tied back.

"It would seem like a big deal if one of them didn't want to be honest" said Rubby slowly, Zac who heard him turned to Rubby. "Do I need to stop them?" ask Zac for an opinion.

"No, the more criminals we get rid of, the better." Rubby smiled, instead of his soul being a psychopath, but it was better than the criminals that it progressed to a stage that harmed many more people.

"Your impression is a little different from the beginning of the meeting, Rubby. I'm so confused, what exactly is your true nature?" zac's question then made Rubby turn and look at her husband. "No matter what my nature is, as long as it's my nature or not, it doesn't matter to you, does it?" rubby asked, and Zac replied with a nod of his head.

"I always accept your decision, Rubby." exclaimed Zac with a still flat face staring at the judge and the perpetrators and factions sitting at the front.

Rubby was silent at Zac's words just now. Out of nowhere the man learned such words, Rubby let out a rude sigh.

"Baginda, actually did you know everything from the beginning? How much do you know?" ask Rubby. He can't read Zac's way of thinking, but before he finds out more, Zac will know him first.

"It's not much, but as Emperor I should have been looking for information about things that harmed my people, right?" Zac smiled thinly, he then changed his sitting position to the right foot on the left foot, he also supported his chin with palms and elbows attached to his thighs.

"I salute, you are the Emperor in charge." Rubby smiled faintly, their gaze then focused again on the main star in the trial this time. More precisely, the perpetrator who was being talked about at this time, was also Baron Jones who was still sitting with an anxious expression on the bench with the community and other factions.

"What do you think, Sire?" the judge asked, looking at Zac's face. "I think?" Zac smiled faintly.

"I just want honesty here, so if anyone tells a lie, I won't stay silent!" Zac said cynically, while Baron Jones gave a sharp snort, he also bit his own lips.

"I didn't do it, su. really" said Baron Jones.

"Yes, okay." Zac fell silent and again leaned his back on his throne.

"What's? how could His Majesty just say that?!" Marquess Ahen frowned, not accepting that only he was found guilty and should be put to death.

"If there really was another defendant to be taken care of, what should today's trial be settled and retreated just like that?" asked Zac who then made the factions and the public look at each other.

"Baginda, how can we let a criminal just like that? If there really are other criminals to take care of, why don't we solve the problem of first-time criminals? We don't need to prolong the problem!" said one of the noble factions, he was one of the imperial party factions.

The people began to argue, thinking that Marquess Ahen should not be left alone. But on the other hand, there were also opposing factions and wanted to take care of the matter of Baron Jones along with Marquess Ahen.

"Your Majesty, I think we should withdraw from today's trial, because.. Marquess Ahen is also evidence in this matter" said one of the noble factions.

Zac was silent, he nodded small. "Alright, I'm going to postpone the trial this time" Zac said as he glanced at Rubby who also nodded his small nod of affirmation.

****

"Rubby, are you really okay? I pushed back, because I thought this had to be dealt with further." exclaimed Zac amid his conversation with Rubby after the atmosphere of the Trial returned quiet and silent because there was no one there. As for the fate of Marquess Ahen and Baron Jones, they were temporarily arrested for further investigation.

"Yes, I understand your decision. After all, we also cannot allow Baron Jones who might also be the perpetrator. They have to be treated properly," explained Rubby seriously, he no longer wants to play around with someone's life. It could be, in the future it will grow the same men who enslave women.

"Rubby, relax. I'll take good care of it. You need not worry, so far, I have searched all corners of the empire, and as a result, I did not find a slave trade like Marquess Ahen" said Zac, which made Rubby feel a little calm. The woman sighed harshly, "Where are they now? I wanted to see him." said Rubby, who then made Zac open his eyes wide.

....

Krekka...

"You've been waiting a long time, Marquess?" rubby said as soon as he opened the prison bars that locked Marquess Ahen. Just in case, he brought Sir Ethan behind him.

Rubby was silent for a moment, he recalled the ridiculous thing Zac said before he entered this dungeon, that he had to bring a knife there to stab Marquess Ahen in the stomach if there was anything that was not possible. He had Sir Ethan by his side.

"Think about it yourself" said Marquess Ahen, impressed. He decided to turn his face away once their eyes looked at each other.

"I wonder why a man who used to be so arrogant to me, now turns his face away as if afraid?" rubby said fishing, and Marquess Ahen who was basically not easily denigrated began to be upset to hear Rubby's remarks just now. "Can you stop repeating the same sentence?" Marquess Ahen steadied his heart to stare at the face of the woman beside him.

"Alright, I'm tired of arguing with you, too. So, let's just say it's just the beginning to make small talk." Rubby took a deep breath, he exhaled her into the air. His gaze now turned into a sharp gaze that pointed at Marquess Ahen. "So, what is the important matter that even a Marquess, ah no, a prisoner like you, called me here?" ask Rubby straight to the point. Yes, his arrival here was not only his wish, at first, it was Marquess Ahen who asked to meet with Rubby, he also promised not to hurt Rubby while they met.

"I want to make a transaction."
