Chapter 2: His Downfall
Arielle
Isn't it a grand party for a forgotten child?
Duke Vahal
You should be grateful instead or saying nonsense.
Arielle
Father is the duke of this empire. Thought, you have maybe fooled so much people in this empire, you cannot do that to me, father— your grace.
Duke Vahal
This ungrateful child. Are you implying something? You imbecile.
Arielle
Oh stop swearing, your not a child.
Duke Vahal
This... You really have gotten that rotten behaviour of yours from your arrogant mother.
Father had always insults my mother. He thinks he owns a lot, but this scum is just using my mother for his own gain! Never did he love my mother, so I was waiting for the right time to have my own revenge.
Arielle
I wish to say something.
I stare down the ballroom, where it was filled with people regardless status— no, more like people who only come to have political party instead of celebrating my birthday.
Arielle
I am Arielle, the only daughter of Elizabeth and a the only nephew of the princes, my rights have been determined.
Arielle
Listen well all of you!! My father the Duke, had fooled all of your eyes. Investing to this scum without knowing anything.
Arielle
My bastard father had killed my uncle! When literally my uncle had withdraw from the rights of the duchy.
Arielle
This secret had been hidden a long time, while it was cover up as an accident to a car crash.
Duke Vahal
What are you doing!?
I look at him and avoided him.
I feel confident that I call the reinforcement law of justice here. I secretly invited them, so that it will be grand of course.
Of course my claims aren't only based by words. The law enforcements is people that judge whether the claim is valid or not, and I assure you that the juridical method is not also connected to the Duke. I send all of my proofs and evidence in the court, secretly to private more necessary persuasion, I had to give the final blow.
Arielle
The Duke had sold our empire to the neighboring empire. The Narzian! We know that our empire hasn't been in a good terms with the Narzian, and use this to sell our empire, informations and all promise our childrens to be transferred in the Narzia.
Arielle
Childrens was lost everyday. That is because the Duke had sold them for profits that the duchy have.
Duke Vahal
Stop right now!
Duchess Vahal
Hon, w-what is she saying?
Duke Vahal
My love, this is nothing! Don't listen to this crazy girl!
Arielle
Your grace, of course, this is not an empty claims.
I took the papers from my thighs and smile. Throwing all of it into the ballroom.
Arielle
Lord Phindels son went missing, so in order to find him, he went to you for an aid and ask help.
Arielle
What did the grace say? "Don't worry, if you pay, I'll find him, " and on that same time, the Lord's child has been found in one of the slave cartels, that was headed to the Narzia Empire.
Arielle
Madam Mia's granddaughter, Lizbet was also found in one of those Cartel, not only that, it was owned by the duchy.
Arielle
Under the codename... Serven... The Former Duke...
Duke Vahal
You, how did you find all of this!
Duke Vahal
No, basis even on your claim, this won't even change a thing!
Duchess Vahal
Hon? This are? H-how?
Arielle
Falsely you mean... I didn't think your this stupid, your grace.
Before his grace were to respond. The door leading to the ball room was shut opened and knights of the imperial division appeared right before our very eyes.
Duke Vahal
What's this!? Who invited the law enforcers???
He didn't to have no idea, but soon as he talks, a tall man appears before us and more stopping the estates guards.
Geusts
Knight: Sire. Duke Vahal, you are under arrest for an act of discarding the imperial law. A traitorous action, of selling the empire to the neighboring empire, and kidnapping childrens that was found on the borders between the two empire.
Geusts
Knight: The Duchy will lose his rights and everything will be confiscated by the empire. All of the member of this crime will beheaded by the gallows.
Everyone was so shocked that no one was able to respond. My father was dragged, and his wife was also taken as well as his son.
Before even coming here, I received a reward from the emperor my uncle that I will be exception to the family members that will beheaded. He said, it's his gift and my reward for cleaning another scum of the society.
Duke Vahal
Wait! Arielle! How dare you! Arielle!
He kept screaming and screaming but I don't think I care about him anyways.
Geusts
Knight: The trial is within 3 days, all can come! Be witnessed or stand a still, we will welcome those who was also a victim of the duke.
Then, they left. Of course, there's no way they will live, the court only means a show of persuasion but actually they'll beheaded at the courthouse itself.
