Chereads / The Princess is A Mad Dog / Chapter 11 - False Trial

Chapter 11 - False Trial

After i left Myer with a clearly remark, i then walk myself to the court hall. countless royal, nobles even important people already fill the court hall. the way they looked at me reminded me of when I was on trial for the murder of a minister in my past life. I could see some familiar faces who contributed on bullied Amelia standing with full of might. Getting ready to see how she will be humiliated even more in front of lot of people even people from outside empire. If the real Amelia standing here in the middle full of eyes that looking down and mocking her with disgusting glare. Her mental state will destroy. As someone with a high pride, she won't be able to face the result. That was happened often with her condition that not a single one aware except for Emma. Like Vicent told me, the only person that Amelia could hold onto is Cessare. That was why she tried an extreme way to catch his eyes by killing her own self. But, she might never expected how much Cessare ignored her existences. Like how he standing right there without bating his eyes.

The reason behind Myer came to me before the trial might be because he worried that Amelia will tainted Mahalingga. Since lot of delegation even representative from another kingdom attend this trial. It seems the Emperor using this chance to trample the holy kingdom.

"He really have no pride, using me to put Mahalingga on his shoes" I vividly smiling then realize someone else staring at me. A tan skin Man with red eyes. A curly black hair falling softly from his shoulder. With a very good build. I tried to find his profile from Amelia's memories. But unable to find it. He then smiling gently on me. After Cessare this is the second man that catch my eyes.

"Attention!!!, Here is come, his majesty the Emperor of Gerantine Empire, Emperor Evan Franciess Gerantine!! May the glory bestow upon his majesty!!" All of the royal and nobles bowing their head when the emperor enter the court hall. i following them, i could feel a cold gaze from him, but ignore it. Once he and his offspring sit on their chair, people rise up their head.

"You may sit.." All of them then sit, while i'm standing in the middle of the court.

"Today, unexpected day that i'm myself never aware, i always believe that the person who will become the future empress of my Empire will be such a great woman. But when i received the statement about her wrong doing, i'm so disappointed"

"Princess Amelia, this trial is open to proof your mistake"

"Is there any word that you want to say before we start it?" I shook my head.

"No, your majesty"

"well then, let's start the trial!"

The trial start with Princess Freya's statement that mention i attacked her during her tea party with the other lady. One by one Freya's friend even Vicent her escort knight give their testimony during the incident. Not only accused me for attacking the imperial's family, they also accused me for abusing my authority as Crown Prince's Fiancée, and also the other accusations. They even using Emma's condition was because i bullied her. Emma explain that it's not because of me, but she unable to explain where all of the scars on her body coming from. Not a single person on my side. No witnesses on my side. Cessare only sitting still.

"So, Princess Amelia, was that all statement from every victim and witness is true?"

"Will my answer changed the fact, your majesty?" The emperor seems displease. He though that i will kneeling and begging denied all of that. But instead, i showed the face as if i heard such a ridiculous accusation of a child who throw a tantrum. Every people on the hall talk to each other, most of them ridicule me even look at me as if I'm a disgusting peace of shit.

"My testimony is no use in this court, as someone who is never been considered as a family member, I'm only on my own here" In the side of room, Myer frowning with a sad expression on his face. Witnessing how Amelia been treated like a criminal, deep down on his heart he feels hurt.

"We are always treat you as family princess, you seems misunderstand on your own"

"I won't denied your statement, your majesty. How could i? You will just adding another crime on my list"

"How dare you incriminate, his majesty like that, princess!!" Princess Freya pointed her finger on me.

"..."

"Then, i don't have anything to say.." Cessare keep staring at me. until his facial expression change after i brought up what i told him yesterday about our engagement.

"I'm glad, before this trial i already offer his highness the crown prince to annul our engagement"

"It's been 2 years since we've been engaged" Cessare gritted his teeth. People start to talk to each other as if because of that i 've turn into an evil woman.

"It's not like i want to keep postpone our married, princess. I'm an observant person. Seeing what happened today, i'm glad that i postpone it. Don't you think?" Cessare using this trial as well to put all the blame on Amelia's shoulder. He must on his idealism about taught a lesson to Amelia.

"I understand, your highness. I'm not blaming you. That is why, together with this trial, let's end our relationship" Cessare rise his eyebrow

"This and that is different, princess"

"As you wish then, your relationship with my son will end today.."

"Father, that--" although he still hesitant but he end up agree with his father.

"It's no used to continue the relationship that you never want, Cessare. His highness the crown prince from Mahalingga already witnessing this, and will agree as well, right?" Myer tightening his grip.

"Yes, your majesty" I'm staring at him after Myer gave his answer.

"Look at you, Myer. Easily agree with other people who tried to destroy your own sister. Seeing you like this make me remember my own brother, who dare to betray me" Even i already expected this from Myer, but somehow, i'm still disappointed.

"Then i will announced your punishment-"

"Wait a moment,, your majesty" I then stop he emperor before he state the punishment upon me.

"Please forgive me to cut the word, but i will remind you about something before you sentence me with an heavy punishment"

"As how I'm standing as a criminal on all of your eyes in this court, i have the right to judge people who commit a crime toward me as well"

"I will not judge them by the law of my kingdom since i announce that from now on, i have no longer attachments nor relationship with the kingdom. As a criminal, I've rip myself from my status as a noble and will refer myself as a commoner"

"ARE YOU CRAZY?!! WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO RIGHT NOW, PRINCESS?!!!" From every single word that I said, created a lot commotion in the court hall. Cessare put a smile on his lips as if he enjoyed this. Seeing this commotion excited me a lot.

"Well then, should I begin my first entrance as the real holy princess in this false trial?"
