Ch. 12 Trial

~Y/n pov~

We stood outside of the throne room.

"Four cardinal heroes come in."

We were greeted by the Queen sat on her throne, beside her stood Melty.

"I thank you all for coming." The Queen's authoritative voice called out.

"Myne isn't here." Motoyasu looked shocked.

"Neither is the King." I pointed out.

The Queen turned to the guards, "You can bring them in now."

"MYNE!"

"MOTOYASU!" Her annoying voice screeched .

Both Myne and the King were in chains.

Oh, so was my hunch right ? The King was also working with Myne?

"What's going on?" Ren asked.

"That should be obvious." The Queen stated, "These two are criminals."

Everyone looked at her in shock.

"Let's start the trial of the foolish King and the first princess."

"Mama please.." Myne continued to shriek and beg for mercy, pretending she wasn't guilty when she clearly was .

The King also pleaded, "What is this my Queen? What caused you to do this to us? This is an accusation!"

They were getting more desperate by the second .

"With the four cardinal heroes in attendance, this trails seeks to punish those responsible for shaking the country to its core , as Queen I shall serve as judge ."

"What!?" The King growled, "Don't tell me the devil of the shield has brainwashed you."

The Queen held her hand up and froze him in place, "The shield hero has no such ability and you know it! I can't believe I even have to say that."

A man holding a tray walked up to her.

"What is that?" Myne panicked .

"To ensure a fair trial, you will be given a temporary slave crest."

Myne struggled in the guards arms , yelling protests as they made the slave crest.

"How could you do that to your own daughter!?" Motoyasu was angered.

"Because my daughter is a pathological liar." The Queen answered calmly.

Myne protested, "I'm not! You know I'm a good girl, an honest girl!"

"Let us officially begin the trial now. Your crimes are clear for all to see, you can't worm your way out of this."

"What so called crimes are you claiming they committed ?" Motoyasu yelled.

The Queen ignored him, "Let us begin with recent events, using a fabricated holy weapon, the pope of the three heroes church tried to murder the cardinal heroes and frame the shield hero, but he was killed in the attempt. We are gathering the remnants of the church as we speak."

"What's that go to do with anything!?"

"The King and first princess were colluding with the church all along."

"No that can't be."

"Any objections to this charge."

Myne immediately started spluttering out nonsense in her shrill voice.

Though, she was immediately hurt by the slave pact.

"It's appalling to think the first princess would try to overthrow the state." The Queen remained expressionless.
