THRONE Series 1 "HOPE" Fall To Jail

25 - Death and Life Punishment

At Gerald's place of work, all the workers who were there looked grim. They saw a TV broadcast showing the perpetrators behind this week's serial murders.

Kanae, far away from Furuji, approached her friend and nudged her shoulder. Furuji, who still did not believe what he saw, was slightly surprised by Kanae's unwillingness.

"Furuji-san, still don't want to tell me?" Ask.

Furuji let out a small sigh, then looked into Kanae's eyes.

"Sure to hear?" Furuji asked for the captaincy.

Kanae nodded quickly.

"Actually, the person we're calling isn't his family, I don't know what that has to do with Gerald, but it looks like there's something important. What happened was that he misunderstood my words and .." was silent for a moment.

"And..??" Kanae waits.

"He's ancem going to kill me"

Kanae shuddered at hearing that.

"Isn't that woman's voice like a teenager?" Kanae still did not understand, but felt afraid.

"Let's see, that's why I was curious, so I found out who he is"

"Ohh so you want to be sure you have a new story, is there a result?"

Furuji nodded, Kanae as if in disbelief with him, clearly painted on her face.

"What's the outcome?" Challenge Kanae.

Furuji put down his knife and stared fixedly at Kanae's eyes as if he wanted to tell her he was serious.

"The woman lives on the outskirts of 'em, she has a husband much older than her, wearing glasses. The woman had a burn on her neck, and my suspect was right .. If he's a little budding"

"Oh well deserved, are you direct?"

"No, ask the people around"

"You believe me, Gerald's the killer?"

"Once again, but .. He's a little weird"

Gerald was already in the building that would be the venue for his trial. The courtroom still seems to be in use to prosecute a criminal, the proof is that the lights above the door of the trial are green.

Gerald was not alone he was accompanied by Leonardo, they were sitting on an outdoor waiting bench. The two of them did not open their voices, just waited for the place to be empty.

Before long the silence was broken with the arrival of Jarden, he threw a smile at Leonardo who immediately looked at him.

"Master, please sit down" Welcomed her.

Jarden was still throwing a warm smile, his hand holding a blue map.

"Thank you" Reply Jarden and sit next to Leonardo, while Gerald is silent.

Jarden glanced at Gerald who was staring at the floor blankly.

"He's fine, isn't he?" Ask Jarden to Leonardo.

"Yes, he's just a little bit hurt"

"What about the crash site?"

"Seriously damaged, not just cars, some electricity poles and asphalt were also affected"

"Have it?"

"Emh, I'm not sure what the cause is, isn't this weird sir? How could the accident damage many things even though there is no natural disaster"

Jarden smiled again, he placed the blue map on his thigh.

"Leo, do you believe in ghosts?"

Leonardo shuddered.

"Gentlemen, who doesn't believe in ghosts" she replied a little afraid, she also rubbed the back of her neck.

"Oh, kidding"

They both laughed a little.

As soon as their little laughter came to a halt, the door of the courtroom opened and the man with the handcuffs in his hand became clear, he was escorted by two burly aides.

Leonardo and Jarden who saw the familiar villain immediately bad mood, who else if not, Shibata Genki. Criminals captured by their own team.

Gerald was also anxious about the same thing, but there was something strange about his gaze.

"Can I ask you?" Pinta Gerald suddenly without turning his eyes on the handcuffed man.

"What?" Jarden Sahut.

"He is, Shibata Genki, right?"

They are shocked to hear Gerald's question, how he knew the name of the criminal who had just received the sentence, Shibata Genki is a high-class criminal only known to the police.

"Yes, how do you know?" Ask Jarden back.

"He's a criminal in the black book, nobody knows but the police" Leonardo added.

"He was working with someone who was causing the grief" Gerald replied, leaving them both even more astonished.

"Sadness?" Jarden seemed to be clueless but the word made him curious.

"What does that mean?" Leonardo was also curious.

"Tell Daniel Wexi B if he's been wrong against me"

"?????"

"Taun Daniel? You're really arrogant Gerald, a murderer like you doesn't deserve to mention that honorable name" Jarden said with an annoyed smile.

Aires, Luvia, walks down the hallway of the classroom after Luvia's own chaos.

They were forcibly expelled from the classroom by all students, their classes were empty lessons, so this was a golden opportunity for all students who sought justice to expel the destroyer of justice.

When Luvia kisses Yuuki and is hit by Aires. Luvia felt something missing from her was on Yuuki. Although she was hit by Aires, Luvia still looked at Yuuki with a longing gaze but she herself did not know. Yuuki had her lips covered and her face was very red, although she looked annoyed but on the other hand she also looked relieved.

"I hope that this foolish and empty child can return to what it used to be" Inner Yuuki and went back to his stool.

After that... They both accepted their classmate's expulsion.

In the hallway of the classroom, they walked without a word.

"What's my fault trying? Though I am martial" Luvia thought in silence.

"Bas stupid, if he wants to pervert, not in class too" thought Aires annoyed.

The faces of the two were not wearing, they stared at each other in the opposite direction as if they did not want to look at each other.

Up behind the school park, they sat close together but ... Back to each other.

"Aires is stupid, it hurts my head to be hit" Luvia complained.

"My friend this is normal isn't it? " Heran Aires.

A guy with green hair flashed in the hallway and ended up in the back garden of the school carrying a lot of books in both hands, while counting the number of those books, he felt a strange atmosphere around the back garden of the school.

He looked around and found two girls sitting by a tree seeming to be gathering strength, that guy is Reno.

"Aires?? Why didn't he get into class?" Reno muttered in wonder.

Reno runs out of the teacher's office near the school's backyard, Reno picks up a workbook and doesn't know about any problems in class.

He decided to approach them, intending to rebuke, perhaps.

Neither Aires nor Luvia spoke, but both looked very upset.

A cold wind blew against their skin and flew the yellow leaves of the garden trees that could be counted. When one leaf touched the ground, the two of them faced each other.

Reno who approached them stopped in the middle of the road, he was surprised to see the two of them, like he was playing an Action movie.

"Why did you kiss her?" Open Aires first, he seems to no longer be able to resist the feeling of the aggressor.

"I didn't accidentally" Luvia replied innocently.

"Where possible, you deliberately pulled the collar" Rejected Aires.

"No, it's wrong, I pulled his collar to avoid a slap" Tukas Luvia.

"Hoo, I see, but isn't there any way other than that ridiculous thing" Aires said.

"There's no other way, there's no saying face what's in front of you" Luvia said.

"Heh, you can already nag ya, using that unprincipled proverb I've never heard, cheesy, silly" Ejek Aires.

"What?!! silly?" Press Luvia

"Yes, what do you want?!!"

The gazes of the two of them grew sharper, the fierce debate made Reno gulp.

"How do I call them?"

"You're jealous of Aires" Cetus Luvia.

"Heh, envy? You can't see yes, my lips are more expensive than the market"

"What?!! The market!" Luvia was really furious.

"Emang's right, right?" Tanya Aires pressed.

"Company, I was wondering who your first kiss was, What's with that guy?" Tangent Luvia who made Aires face redden.

"I forgot my first kiss, don't talk weird, who was your first kiss?" Ask back Aires.

"My first kiss?" Wonder Luvia.

"Heeh, don't tell me the same rough chick? " Sindir Aires.

"Emh.. Not like.. Why emang? " Aires curious.

"When I kissed him.. Feel something" Luvia explained.

"Huh? Rasain what? Her lips?"

"I remember the taste of his lips, his mouth the smell of alcohol, my dizziness.. Not that, but... I think I know him"

"ee..HahahaHaHaHa.. Meaning... Actually you just want to boast of your kiss with that girl right, then you make a strange sensation like in anime-anime romance, Your brain is not sane" Ceplos Aires. It seems like Aires is less sensitive.

Luvia was furious to hear Aires' words that had crossed the line. He was serious about his confused feelings.

"Gezz Aires stupid.. That's better than getting slapped with tau, you insensitive Aires" cried Luvia.

"What did you say?!!!"

The eyes of the two of them turned fiery again, nothing blinking, the wind blowing again making the mane of the two of them danced little.

Reno smiled amusedly, she felt this was her chance to reprimand them.

"Hey you guys, there is a task from Mr. Yamada Uzumaki, let's go to class" Cut Reno with his trademark smile.

Luvia and Aires stared intently at Reno, as if he were hit by stone ruins, seeing their anger both on him, his smile gone in an instant.

"I'm just reminding" the huddle trembled slightly.

"You hear Luvia Monster kiss?"

Luvia nodded.

"Mr Uzumaki"

Day .. The two of them laughed loosely making Reno tilt her head even more confused.

"Haah? Actually, are they fighting or what?"

"Reno, where is Mr Uzumaki?" Luvia asked, she approached him with a ignorant look.

Seeing Luvia's change in behavior, she slightly regressed her body.

"W-what are you gonna do?" Reno asked nervously while holding back the books she was carrying.

"What yes?? Kiss may be" said Luvia Jahil.

Reno pocketed her lips tightly and shook her head in refusal.

"Don't do anything stupid" he refused.

Aires was very upset to see Luvia's behavior that was out of bounds.

"Luvia!" call Aires.

Luvia turned her eyes.

"What?"

Aires face was very close to him making Luvia startled instead of playing, he immediately pushed his friend's shoulder.

"I'm sane Aires" he said.

"Heee, really?"

"Yes, don't do anything stupid"

"You copied my words" said Reno.

"Here Luvia, don't you like kisses"

Aires began to approach him again, seeing that Luvia felt terrified, and there was a sense of disgust. He also shuddered in horror.

"Don't!! I'm still Sane AIRESS!!" His shout then galloped leaving Aires behind.

Aires followed after her, but pausing for a moment, she looked at Reno, waved and smiled sweetly.

"Thank you Reno, see you in class" he said.

Reno is very happy to get the attention of Aires, although her behavior while with Luvia and when alone is much different.

Aires laughingly chased after Luvia who ran like a demon, they made a scene in every hallway of the classroom with shouts as well as laughter, they made a fuss, a wonderful adolescence that can never be done in the future.

Tells about the hallway, this time there are parents who look anxious about something, they walk down the aisle of the hospital, they are both Erlo's parents.

Ziri stood in front of the door of Erlo's room which was busy with the examination, before long both Erlo's parents arrived in front of Erlo's room which was immediately saluted by Ziri. He opened the door and saw that some doctors looked gloomy.

Both of Erlo's parents calmly walked up to the doctor, and asked a lot of questions.

"How's Erlo Dok doing?"

The doctor shook his head slowly, making Erlo's mother hold back tears.

"He needs immediate cardiac surgery, otherwise .. He won't survive"

"Then do it immediately"

"There are no cardiac inventories at the hospital now, and Mr Erlo's heart type is rare"

"Do whatever it takes, don't let my son die, or I'll sue you all" he said.

The doctor just silently heard him, he bowed his head as if there were no more words.

Erlo's father was so angry, he started to mess up, then he took a cell phone in his pocket calling someone.

"Doctors can't do anything anymore?" Ask once more.

Take it slow the doctor answers everything.

Before long, the phone was picked up.

"Hallo, do you have the same heart as Erlo?"

"...."

"Good, get to this hospital right now"

He turned off the call and stared intently at the doctor.

"You hear, when his heart is up there's no failure in his operation, understand!!"

"Good Sir"

"Erlo's gonna be okay, right?" Ask the wife.

"Yes, you've been able to calm down that's more than enough, I'm sure our efforts aren't in vain"

Erlo's mother nodded softly, she stroked Erlo's hair and looked at her softly.

"Wake up, baby"

As the trial began, Gerald sat in the middle of the audience. No prosecutors, no lawyers, just a judge and some cops.

A lot of cameras were glaring at him, and reporters with their laptops, parents who lost their children, and a few bigwigs.

The trial seemed very strange, there was no help for Gerald and no charges were common in the trial.

The faces of those in the room looked very tense, some were furious, angry, disgusted, annoyed, and impatient, let alone the families of the victims.

Gerald stared blankly at all the cameras that were on him, at that moment someone with a Jack The Rapper mask was watching in a light blue painted room, without any lighting and windows, and there was no light, only the light of the TV gives an idea of what the room in his place is like.

His hands played baseball, twirled it and threw it in every direction.

He chuckled, it seemed like it was a habit he often did.

"That plain face, makes my stomach tickle"

_____

Jarden was ready with his blue map, Leonardo was sitting on Gerald's right side, and the judges were in front of him quite a distance away.

The judge in the middle knocked on the hammer, breaking the tension with the sound of that absolute knock.

"Punishment will soon be dropped" The Judge's voice echoed throughout the room.

Jarden stood up from his chair beside Leonardo, walking to the center in front of Gerald.

"I will propose what punishment he deserves" Jarden said valiantly.

"Please" Hand over the Judge.

"The punishment for the criminal named Gerald for what he's done is...."

"He will be jailed for 2 weeks, in continued exile for life, not considered a Harnzov society, he still gets the right to go to school, but whatever society does to him will not be punished unless it kills him, it's a mental punishment for a 20-year-old who will be inaugurated next year, but I'm gonna use that law on this kid"

The noise of the audience who were present echoed in the room, the sound of typing laptop keyboard also enlivened, some did not understand the punishment received by Gerald, there are also those who are dissatisfied.

"Which means, despite attending school, he is the same as never, only still guided through education" he said.

From the TV, Jack the Ripper saw how Gerald's expression when he was sentenced was never expected.

The calm-eyed face of that lament turned riled up, he seemed to be eager to reject the punishment.

A terrible laugh came out of Jack the Ripper's mouth, he was satisfied, he was proud, and felt powerful, he laughed at his enemy who had been caught in a trap of strangling the neck until it was almost broken, wriggling wanted to break away but was helpless.

"Now, what are you gonna do Gerald"

There's a saying, face what's in front of you. When I tried it, I was blown away, but maybe it's better than running and being stamped a coward for life.

Gerald.
