The Black Ice Dragon Legend

chapter 8 of the court

“This is just a misunderstanding. We have no ill intentions towards the princess. Instead, we always protect her. If your majesty does not believe, your highness can call the princess here and explain it.”

“You think I'm stupid! You and your friends are manipulating my daughter. If I bring him here, he will directly protect you!” “if you want to prove your innocence, and this is a misunderstanding, you must use another method. Can you?”

Simo was silent for a moment. It was difficult for him to prove it, only with Naria coming here, could he prove it, but Naria was now in brackets.

“Yang noble, sorry sassy.” Suddenly Ardia spoke and saluted. “But to me they are not bad people. If they were evil, me and the others would definitely be killed while fighting him. But, he gave me life until now, even he did not kill my comrade, but only injured him.”

“Ardia, don't tell me you've lost?” the king's face was filled with shock and disbelief. Three swordsman girls and very strong in his country, had even killed hundreds of people, lost in the young man who was only one person.

“Yes, your honor. Sorry, I failed in my duties today. But please consider your decision carefully.”

The king nodded and remained silent for a moment. “I decided to lock them up in the palace. If I see them committing crimes, I will not give mercy to them.”

“And, for you Ardia, I cannot trust you, even though you are my loyal servant. It's possible that you were manipulated by him and defended him here or there's something he's done to you.”

“Yang noble, he did nothing.”

“ya, yes. Take them all to jail. Tighten the guard and watch every second of their movement. I don't want anything to miss.”

Hearing that, all the soldiers immediately embraced everything including Ardia and her friend. No one fought back, including Simo. They obey everything the king says.

Simo could have beaten them all, but he didn't. It is better to talk about this than to make a mess in the land of people. But perhaps they will escape when the guard loosens or does not loosen even once.

Delisa follows Simo's plan, though she doesn't know what he's going to do. He was sure, simo had a plan.

They were then taken into separate prisons, spaced apart so that they could not communicate with each other and if they wanted to escape, the soldiers could find out. In addition there will be strict guard in the hallways, so, it will be impossible to escape.

The prison room was underground with dark yellow and dimly lit lights, but could still be seen clearly.

Simo was brought there and directly inputted roughly.

...****************...

The king sighed then sat on the throne. Problem solved. He thought too much about the matter, making him unable to sleep and wanting to stay awake all night. He didn't want anything to happen with his daughter.

Considering Andra said simo was very strong and cunning, making the king very worried about his daughter.

“the noble.”

“Ah, your prince has arrived. Is your mom okay?”

Andra came suddenly and saluted.

“of course your honor. Mom just misses me.” Answer Andra. “Your highness, have you punished that bastard?”

“Are the people you mean the people from the snow mountain empire?”

Andra nodded.

“I caught him, but I haven't punished him yet. There's an ambiguity in this case, and I'm having a hard time deciding. They looked very kind and wise, nor did they have any evil intentions. None of them look evil.”

“You're right. But as a king, I have to be careful in my decisions. Otherwise, my people won't trust me anymore. I have to find very convincing evidence to sentence them to death.”

“You rest easy your majesty.”

Andra approached the king and whispered.

Upon hearing Andra's plan, the king nodded and smiled. “You're right. We must have bait to do it.”

“prince, rest..”.

“Good noble, but when will you have my wedding with your daughter? If it gets faster, it gets better. Princess Naria will also forget that bastard and come back to love me.”

“This issue I will think about later.”

“Good your honor. I want to receive good news from you soon.”

Andra saluted then left from there.

After Andra left, the King sighed then closed his eyes.

...****************...

Three days passed after the king's conversation with Andra. The king today ordered some of his subjects to gather in the palace garden, where the king usually conducts his discussions and speeches.

Of course, some of the people will not be able to come to this event because of the time, distance and costs needed, most of which come from far away and do not have costs to come.

The king stood in the corridor with the empress. They both look brave and brave. No one dared to speak after the king came out. All the gazes were directed at the king.

“Thank you all who have come in this bright and happy morning.” The voice of the king is very loud and resounding. “I, as a king, am honored for those of you who want to come to this event.”

“Today.... I will conduct a trial for some who have dared to threaten the safety of the princess. And give them the punishment they deserve.”

“i will outline the issues and evidence that has been gathered to conduct this trial. But... As for punishment, I dare not. Therefore, I invite the palace magistrate to give a sentence for him.” The king slightly steadied the judges who were in the corridor opposite.

“And you my people, you can express your opinion on this, and give proper punishment. I believe more in the decisions of many people than in one person. Therefore, today the official court event is open!”

Some of the soldiers in the park rushed to the detention cell.

...****************...

After they arrived, one of the soldiers opened the door for simo.

Simo nodded, and asked, “Events have already started?”

The soldier nodded, though he did not know what he meant.

“My car has also started.”

Simo suddenly appeared behind the soldier and rendered him unconscious.
