The emperor sat down as the judge. I wondered how a man whose heart was like stone, will be the one to administer justice. I sat close to my mother who smiled at me.
"Do I have your permission to start ?" The prime minister asked.
"Go ahead, please," Emperor Sargon said.
Apollos ruffled through the pages slowly, his eyes darting left and right. He soon found whatever he was looking for. He read aloud, slowly:
"This dispute is between Mrs. Caldor and her husband. Caldor got married to his wife here, and after some years he fell In Love with Stadia. Now, he wants you to permit him to divorce his wife to marry the love of his life."
"I see…What did our law say concerning this situation?" The emperor asked.
"A man who is not a king can not have more than one wife" He answered.
"Is that all ?"
"Yes my Lord" Apollos confirmed.
