Chapter 35 - [2] Sentencing Him

"I can't believe this is happening! Does this mean what I'm thinking?..please god, let it mean it." I pray in my mind.

Although I know my father is still being known as a traitor and my brother.. Although now cleared of a crime he didn't commit, people will still refer to him as a traitor in there hearts because that's what they are made to believe. I promise myself that soon I will find a way to clear their names and besides perhaps Min-jun might know the person who framed him and Father. I will have to ask him when the Emperor sets him free.

I quit my thinking then begin yelling at my fast beating heart to be quiet as the Emperor begin to speck.

"For bringing in Mandir outcast into Mandir ..I hereby sentence Sangyun to death." The Emperor said and immediately two unknown guards enter the throne hall, bow to the Emperor and begin dragging Sangyun out.

"Stop!" A very familiar voice said out loud which made me to turn my head to the direction where the voice came from and indeed the owner of the voice is Kyung-sook just as I suspected. I begin to wonder what she's planning to do as she begin walking then kneel when she reach the middle of the hall where the Emperor throne is.

"Sangyun is not the one who captured Kim Min-jun. Kim Min-jun was brought to him by one of the street vigilantes and Sangyun poor brain didn't remember that Millin isn't part of Mandir, I guess because he was so glad by the reward he's going to be getting for bringing in a law breaker. He only had the intention of pleasing you ..His Highness and he never intended on doing otherwise. Please His Highness don't let an innocent person suffer for a crime he didn't commit while the real culprit live." Kyung-sook plead as she goes back down on her knees again even though the Emperor has told her to stand  ..after a while of her ridiculous plead for justice which I didn't buy, few of the elders all went on their knees and begin to beg the Emperor to please set the real offender to justice and let the innocent go.

I watch the two guards who came in earlier to carry out the command given by the Emperor as they all turn to the Emperor waiting for his new order.

"Do I want Sangyun dead? Of course because he wanted my brother dead and as far as he isn't going to be killed in my presents ..I'm fine with it. If what Kyung-sook said is true then I know the Emperor will set Sangyun free and I actually don't want an innocent person to die so if Sangyun is innocent then I'd like it if the Emperor set him free. Even if my husband dislikes his brother ..he still loves his mother, I can see it in his eyes though, he doesn't like that his mother is kneeling down in front of him and he doesn't like that what he's doing is making her unhappy. God, why do Kyung-sook have to be his mother? She's so wicked.
