King Ramos sat on his throne in silence as a bored expression was written all over his face.
Beside him was his latest concubine,Amelia was no where in sight. Infact since a year she had refused to leave the harem because of the shame of having her position dragged by whores and harlots.
Every new concubine that King Ramos brought he made them seat beside him like the Queen.
"Let the Trial start" His voice rings in the court room.
Surprise edge at the faces of the Cabinet members as Queen Amelia walked in.
She took her seat in the congregation where commoners had seated since her throne was occupied by the concubine.
Shortly after the guards draged in Ahishar and threw her before the King and Cabinet members.
Amelia had heard about the Trial.
Ahishar was an ambassador for the Witches when there was still peace and harmony in Gabesh, after the burning down of their tower no one had heard from her again making everyone think she was dead,her sudden appearance had stunned Amelia as well as many cabinet members.
"Do you know who the Queen witch is and where she is?" King Ramos asks.
"I have no idea your majesty" Ahishar whispered firmly.
King Ramos shook his head in disbelief.
"You must know, you're an important person in your kind" The concubine smirks.
All eyes turn to her momentarily.
"What? I heard" she scoffs arrogantly.
"Who...is..it?" King Ramos asks gritting his teeth in anger.
"I...have..no...idea" Ahishar says gritting her teeth equally.
She had challenged him openly.
"Very well, you're of no use to me or Gabesh so I'll declare a sentence".
Amelia particularly looked shocked. This was not a real trial at all. There were no witnesses no persecution the cabinet members where not even given the right to decide if they found her guilty.
"She of no use to you but I very much am" A voice rings in the throne room.
All eyes turned to the door where Sophia stood with her shoulders held high.
"Who is she and who let her in?" King Ramos shouts loudly.
"uhm...the thing is that I am a witch so I just used a portal" Sophia says.
Gasps are heard as well as murmurs.
Zadok rose not understanding what was going on.
"Impossible,how could you use your powers?" Zadok asks but Sophia just smiles sweetly at him as realisation Dawn's on him.
"You're the Queen?" He whispers to himself.
Sophia stepped further into the room, Talmon trailing behind.
She had to be confident and strong if she wanted to save her mother.
Ahishar just sat in agony,she never expected her daughter to risk her life and that of Talmon's like this.
Amelia observed the scene unfolding, looking at Sophia from head to toe she could already see that she was in a Witch Queen's dress.
Their usual pale colored long gown( grey,Ash, black or even white) that flowed to their feet.
"Would the witch Queen just walk in here and hand herself over to me?" King Ramos smirks.
"Am sure she would,just like you're doing, Killing witches for your family's revenge and sacrificing myself for my mother" Sophia shrugs.
"Is that so?" He asks as his smile widens.
"Listen carefully your Majesty I am here to make a deal with you"
"His majesty doesn't make deals" A guy said.
Obviously the King's right hand man.
"Of course he will when I have the solution to is unending problem" She says folding her arms.
