"We're here to pronounce judgement on these rebellious sons of Makoha. Sons who didn't think twice before breaking the laws given to us for the peace of the planet. " An old Vampire elder said.
His words were met with agreement from the groups of people around. Their murmured agreement really obvious.
Reddy laughed. The sound causing the murmurs to cease as they all focused on him.
"Broke a law? Please pray tell how I broke the law," he asked in that voice of authority. One he makes use of when talking to those he feels are below him in status.
" Zoban! " His father angrily rose from his chair, but was stopped by his wife's hold on him.
" Don't worry my king. He's right in the questions he asked. Most times, we don't know the bad things we do until someone points them out. " Mistress respectively bowed.
" Bad things we do? More like the things we're accused of doing. " Happy sneered at her.
Ignoring his outburst, mistress turned to the vampire elder, bowing to him, she gestured to us.
" Please my elder, tell this petulant children what crime it is they committed. It seems like they know not their crime." She sat back on her chair, a pleased look on her face as she glared down at Happy whose entire focus is on the standing vampire elder.
"The crime of High Prince Buchim is this: making use of dark magic to ensnare the two unsuspecting princes of Makoha..."
"Unsuspecting? How can you say something you're unaware of? How can you possibly conclude we were unsuspecting when it's obvious we're not the same person?
Were you there when it happened?" Reddy growled at them.
" Don't mind his words my elder, please go on with your words," Reddy's father said. An undisguised glare leveled at Reddy who was furiously tugging on the rope holding us captive.
The pain I felt from his first rope tugging was so intense it momentarily took the breathe out of me.
" You're hurting me." i called out to Reddy to make him stop what he's doing.
"Are you hurt?" he lowered his voice to a soft whisper.
"No, it's only hurting me when you tug on the rope."
" Am sorry," he joined our hands together.
" It's okay." I tightly held on to his hand. Wanting to have as much contact as I can with him. Who knows if today will be the last day of us being together.
"Now can we start?" the Elder frowned at us. His eyes going to our joined hands which was in full display of those facing us.
"You can go ahead with your words, but make sure they're the truth. " Happy answered.
" Prince Buchim not only made use of dark magic...."
" Why are you Always referring to my use of dark magic?" I look at him in question.
I don't get why they will accuse me of making use of a magic I only heard of the night of our capture. The magic is something unheard of in Makoha.
