No, I'm not dead, I just had some major setbacks.
13
West Denio helplessly to the process of her sister, the feast days that had followed the return of the king had been completed and it was time to re Gothan returned to resume his commitments. Among them was the pending trial of Esta, the mercenary army recruited by the Crown Prince and his accused of attempted murder, the king sat composed and authoritative on his throne at his right hand was no Katona, the youngest son, to the left, the representative of the State Council.
Prince Frey would be the first to be heard as a victim and a witness; West, who was aware of the relationship that existed between the prince and his sister, hoped that the his best friend's brother had liver enough to defend the honor of the woman, complained to admit that, actually, the best solution to take off from quell'impiccio - why develop a relationship with a boyfriend with another woman and not be put in a good light - the prince would have been to deny the release of Esta.
"If we just try I swear I do it in slices, although the crown prince!" thought with a touch of hate the young captain of the guards.
Silence pervaded the great hall, the king was about to speak.
"As you know the attack on my son's life took place during The campaign against Jukigabijo, but only now it was possible to organize a worthy process, mercenary Esta, please forgive me if your opinion is on hold for so long. "
She bowed her head as a sign of respect, it was rare for a king to ask forgiveness, let alone a murder suspect, remained silent to hear the testimony of the Crown Prince.
"My father, the offense has been done to me is very serious, not only for myself but also for your person, anyone who dares to harm me as if recasse damage to you. Father, the offense was vindicated when it was received, believe me when I say Esta, the mercenary who is accused not only has never lifted a finger against me, but he saved my life!
I'm not here to accuse, I am here to defend her against accusations that were raised unfairly. "A murmur
generally spans the room, Lady Utena, in the front row, shook her fan she had with her fingers until they hurt. How dare that bitch be near her prince? It was all done in the tent of the prince was known, and what she did there? Suddenly he felt observed, felt people's eyes as sharp knives ready to mutilate.
"You poor, yet are not married and he already has a lover. "
"treason even before marriage. "
'And I thought that the prince had a dignity. "
" What courage to marry him now. "Lady in the Kino
ignored the whispers and giggles, was a lady of class and could not fall to a miserable level, but in silence prayed that Esta was found guilty and sentenced to death.
Katona read carefully the reports of the General in which he explained in detail the reasons why the mercenary was to be sentenced, his attention was struck by a strange contradiction: first claimed that the woman had killed an old noble then in subsequent reports spoke of an attack on the Crown Prince. Did not return, at a logical level it was clear the mistake.
"Father, I put some questions to General Finve, which dealt with the arrest warrant. "
Re Gothan watched his youngest son, in the eyes of the boy could read something, wanted to find out how far it would be pushed as he had already realized that he knew he would do anything to defend the woman.
"proceeds as well. "
Katona thanked him with a nod, he rose, bowed in front of his father and invited the general to take place in the stage Finve place not far from the royal throne.
"General Finve, you have been instructed by my father to follow the issue, right?
In your first report you speak of the murder of a nobleman fallen in subsequent years, however, we note that the indictment will change drastically. Talk of "attempt on the life of Crown Prince Frey noc Savhr to Irrfad." How do you explain this sudden change? "Esta
started, even though he knew had never given weight, only then realized that with the help of the young princes, had a few more chance to save his skin.
Finve, a man of about fifty years, bald and with a physique not quite at full strength, he rose from his seat and walked slowly to the royal throne, it was possible to perceive the authority emanating from the bottom of the huge room.
"Your Grace, what you say is true. When I was informed of the incident, the news that we were few and confused, what was certain was that the mercenary had killed the old nobleman. In the following days, some soldiers came to me exposing their testimonies, their stories fit the woman's intention to kill the prince has become clear as day. "
" Lies! He killed just for my defense. "West shook
the hilt of his sword until it become white knuckles, why was it necessary to stage all this farce? The word of the Prince Frey was worth much more than that of the general Finve, His Majesty would grant Esta immediately after listening to his eldest son.
"Order. "Commanded the King Gothan with a wave of his hand. "I've heard enough. Esta, get up. "
She carried out the order received, stared at the floor and marble tile decorations obtained by combining the various geometric designs, did not dare look up, he dared not utter a word. In his silence he prayed all the gods that he knew the pardon, the Goddess love, the God of Justice, the Goddess of War, the High King of the Gods ... lifted up a prayer for them all.
With the corner of his eye he saw his brother a cold sweat. If the king had judged innocent, he promised that he would ask forgiveness for the horrible way in which he had treated.
"Esta Nameless, you have been accused of trying to kill my son, my heir. So what happened in Desert Skeleton, Frey came to me to report immediately. I never believed the accusations that you were raised, I learned about while riding in the desert and I know that you'd never done anything like that. " The room fell silent
General, Lady Utena showed his teeth like a rabid dog, West held its breath, Katona looked hopeful his father, Frey sighed happily.
"Esta Nameless, according to the testimony of my son, whom I love with all my heart, I forgive you by the prosecution of his attempted murder. General Finve, you have done your duty with great zeal, I am proud to have men like you in my army.
Esta, I will prosciolgo, but do not want your presence in the army. Find someone who makes you a guarantor and will enter the castle guards. "The mercenary
immediately turned to his brother, he was his only option.
West saw his sister turn in his direction, he needed his help, gliel'avrebbe denied? No. With a firm step and head held high you closer to His Majesty, rested on one knee and with the most convincing tone of voice that he spoke.
"Your Majesty, Esta Nameless is actually my sisters, our mothers are different, but we share our father. Your Majesty, you are asking for a guarantor, well, I'm guaranteeing it. I will accept the responsibility of every act of my sister. "
" You are the West Denio, the captain of the guards, is not it? "
West nodded with a nod.
"Very well, then it is so. Do not be sorry, I guess, that your sister take your last name. "
A West did not mind at all, would never have admitted, but he loved his sister, the only family he had stayed.
