Odd Eye's
Part 52's. A shaky position
... ⁇ ODDEYE...
"Strong evidence of the authenticity of the stamp can not be denied. And as emperor I acquit General Javier on these charges"
"That's all?"
Hanaya finally woke up. A flash of hate is seen in his net. Not only was it a threat, the man now seized almost the entire reason why Hanaya was here.
There is no reason to give up. Enough in the past. Not anymore for now.
"Doesn't His Majesty want to settle this? Who did this was too gray to know, but the truth behind this incident was clearly there." Xavier cold.
"Regarding the culprits will be re-investigated. But what truth do you mean?" Reply Javier.
"That the Earl did do something taboo to his daughter." Xavier's voice triggered a ripple that had been extinguished. Clearly the suspicion on his figure remained, becoming an outsmarting doubt. The betrayal of his past clearly made it hard for everyone to believe. That's hard to believe because Earl's nature is very good.
"And again, there was clearly carelessness in this incident. If I was the culprit why would I wear the general's stamp and reveal my status that easily ? " xavier's falling voice was like a momentary giggle at Hanaya's neck, forcing her heart to pause for a moment.
What exactly is he thinking? That's why he didn't make it!
Hanaya should have noticed such simple things!
"If I was the culprit, I would have done the opposite, manipulated the evidence" Xavier's words sparked silence, while Hanaya stared at the man with horror. If Xavier was the culprit, he wouldn't have done that recklessly. The position is much more favorable to eliminate Javier then why did he expose himself blatantly?
A cold sail swept over Hanaya's spine as her eyes met the man's grin.
So, this is Xavier's true power ?
This man is not just a flawed beauty. He was a calm figure with elegance yet at the same time glistening vigilantly, harboring suspicion around him. Xavier's ingenuity, strength and thoroughness had it all.
Hanaya suddenly felt her entire joint weaken, as if something was stuck in her heart, drawing all her strength.
In front of Xavier, Hanaya was like an ant. The bite that he saw as painful as a form of resistance, was in fact like dust that could be removed in one swipe.
Hanaya was no match for that man. Not even Javier. The woman's lavender netra highlighted her husband's taste full of smell. Javier obviously has the throne, but no matter how much support he has, he will never be as perfect as Xavier by all his woes.
Why does the sinful Xavier have so much perfection? Isn't as a criminal he should be lacking ? Why is he so perfect ?
The indistinct initial character gradually appeared so clear, like a shadow in a rippling pool that was increasingly calm, that was Xavier. He was an early character that Hanaya never thought would contribute to his entire life. Gnawing and shadowing as the form of Hanaya's greatest fear.
"Looks like the Queen has something to say" Xavier's voice that was clearly like the whisper of death made Hanaya lift her face in fear.
What does he really want from her?
"Did the Queen not want to plead?" At that moment something hit his heart.
He's the one who gave all that evidence. Hanay is the one who left the stain in Viviana's palm.
Although Alexander was the real giver, Hanaya from the beginning became a hand that conveyed directly without intermediaries. He even urged Javier to do all those actions. All eyes inside here know who the hero who exposed Xavier's transgressions, Viviana de Lances the Queen and not Alexander the leader of a faction.
Something as if suffocating his throat, a pejorative gaze that flashed within Xavier's netra strangled Hanaya to the point of being difficult to say. The quiet room filled with an atmosphere of curiosity, full of demands - Viviana had to give her defense.
The highest position that originally seemed difficult to touch now looks shaky under judgment. Hanaya knows-that she hasn't gone beyond something. That she's still the same, helpless naive woman who hopes her life ends happily.
Hanaya did not know that being at the highest position with all the blasphemous gazes would be so terrifying and terrifying, as if facing a million-eye monster. She who is now a Queen is different from the gaze that was placed on her first. It felt as if every little movement of his would be the end of his life.
Since when did his psychic become so weak ? Errata, wasn't he so weak from the start?
All of these demanding gazes felt so restrictive, chaining him like a criminal in the last death.
Hanaya doesn't want to be here. He wants to go back, anywhere !
The pride that is lost is not left. The blackened ambition to get rid of Xavier is now like a point in a meaningless painting because it is covered in pulses of color.
The fact that Xavier was much stronger was a truth that Hanaya had been trying to cover up from the beginning.
He was like a frightened dog that barked loudly in front of a lion just to bluff. Like a crow pecking at the top of an eagle's head. Just because he grew up Hanaya felt able to get rid of Xavier, a solid early presence like a pyramid in history.
How could the appearance of a weak figure attempt to erase Xavier's absolute existence?
"Viviana?" Even Javier's voice could not break through the circle of fear that Xavier had planted around Hanaya. The woman is isolated under the impeachment of the charges with Xavier as the chief.
"A-a-a-
"Sir, we found the culprit." The sound of Amos coming in made all the focus directed at Xavier. But the intimidation instilled on Hanaya was so great that it imprisoned her mind and soul.
"Lady Rozetta"
"Tu-wait! Something is wrong!" Hanaya. Rozetta's name somehow managed to break through his prison of intimidation. Pulling the still shaken Hanaya.
"Sorry Your Majesty, we have the evidence"
But how is that possible ? How could Rozetta be the mastermind behind all this ?
"Show me!" Hanaya exclaimed roaring, clearly losing her composure. All the intimidation from the gaze of the eyes shut his senses and once his consciousness returned, the thing he heard was another fear of Hanaya.
Rozetta was part of a group that defiled the emperor.
"Bring him in." And as soon as the figure appeared, a stream of heat filled his eyes.
Rozetta looks so shabby. The mane was ruffled, her beautiful dress was full of tears with dirt on it.
"We found him trying to burn all evidence of his actions, Your Majesty!" Piles of paper on the writing that Hanaya knew so well appeared in his eyes, shaking off all the remaining trust Hanaya had. Rozetta engaged.
"We've identified her and lady Rozetta has even admitted it."
"Rozetta say it's not true?" Rozetta's eyes looking at him as usual showed constancy. A faint smile appeared on his lips, the same smile that was given as a greeting. Sincere and gentle.
Please, tell Hanaya that her suspicions at the beginning were not true. Everything that is seen today is not true.
Viviana looked shaken. Hugely.
"Lady Rozetta do you admit that?"
Rozetta's eyes stared at Javier who was sitting on the throne in majesty. Then a soft sigh was heard in a firm confession.
"Yes"
"Do you have no defense?" Javier asked, as if to give a chance to Viviana, the last hope for the woman.
Rozetta's eyes looked at Viviana, a gentle smile etched there as if to show that everything was fine.
"There is no defense. I can't deny the evidence, can I?" And as soon as the last confession fell Hanaya knew there was no hope left.
Rozetta is firm in anything. And his firmness was the thing Hanaya admired the most. Now that same determination is also destroying it.
"Why?" Hanaya's soft voice was clearly heard in Rozetta's ears. The woman breathed in with an appreciative smile. Viviana must have been surprised and betrayed.
Raising her face, her gray eyes stared right at the emotion-distilled Viviana lavender netra
"Because we're all pawns. And I'm just doing my job."
"Rozetta what are you-you
"Do according to procedure" Javier's final verdict without heeding Viviana made Hanaya stunned.
Before his protests could arrive, a massive procession was staged - leading Rozetta to his final place, the place of execution.
"Javier what are you doing?" Hanaya asked helplessly.
Javier's cold eyes looked at him "That's the law and I can't change anything, Viviana." The falling words beat Hanaya.
There's nothing he can do.
