Promised to be in an unending solitude. There was a girl, a graceful and majestic appearance, exhibit in elegance and dignity. She walked, through the seemingly endless hallway, along with two people in her side. They wore a steel like clothing in grey, from top to bottom, plastered in heavy machinery. Giving a sound of pressure, and an echoing sounds of cogwheels, creaking reverberates the hall.
"Thud, thud"
Each steps caused a loud pang. They walked without even speaking. Yet on the other hand, the person in the middle. The girl, walked through without a sincerity, her grace, she who does not contrast to the thing, to those being on her side. She wore goldlike robe, a white shirt followed by a leather vest clinging to her shoulder. And a dark greenish pants, layering in her leather boots. It only differs was with her shackles, clinging on her both hands. Walking silently.
Footsteps of the three echoed throughout the hallway. None didn't bat and eye. All staring at front gate from the distance in front of them.
"Thud, thud, thud, thud. Clack, clack"
The gate, what once so small in the distance started gaining in size. They were nearing their destination. And after some time the gate was now infront of them. Creaking resonate through their ears as the door flung open.
The two people on the girl's side suddenly grabbed her both arms and forcefully advance her through the gate as she clicked her tongue.
"[REDACTED] so you came, as the judge i shall gave you the call befitting of your crime!"
Inside there was a judge, infront of the lavish hall thoroughly designed with pride. Large and imposing stone's carved followed a set design. There were seats for the observers, outside the circular hall. With a wall of glass that acted as a window that made no sounds to leave.
"Haha. Stop blabbering and just get to the point"
"Bam, bam, bam. Silence, evildoer. You don't have the luxury to decide in this room."
"Isn't it not fair? I don't even have a lawyer, come on get me one." She chuckled.
"I said silence!" The judge then once again, used his hammer. "Bam, bam, bam, bam"
"ahahah, are you that scared?"
The shackled girl muttered, the stood silent after that. It was after all, inevitable. She, while standing there, already knew what will happen next. Judges stared with hostility, the observers murmured in silence, moving their mouths to one another, watching the trial of the girl. Wearing a Victorian outfits coated in jewels. It is the same as the judge.
'dam, these government scum. This union! Ughh.'
Even if the girls thoughts were not favorable to her own country, she still grew up in this place. The Union of Gheritudes, her home country. The place where she eats, where she slept, her home, a place where she lives. Now betraying her. The place she new, now filled with dirt and garbage corrupts that degrades the Union more and more as time passes by.
'but still... I've never thought my involvement here would damage the Union quite this large.'
"And now, to list of all your crimes i hereby commence the trial!"
The judge exclaimed stopping her train of thoughts. She rolled her eyes off and moved her mouth to replicate the world 'yeah, yeah, yeah' silently.
"To start it off. [REDACTED] accused of-"
"Mass murder in the Unions palace killing the royals and the 3rd candidate of presidency. Sigh. Of course, of course, it's the first thing you mentioned cause damn, it's the only time the Union were able to frame me. And yep... Of course i would plead guilty, cause why not. There wasn't even a lawyer to defend me.
"Wha- you how-"
"Oh shut up, just finish the verdict."
The judge, his eyes widen as the girl taken his speech that was supposed to be his, he then gritted his teeth as his words were cut off by her once again. The judge then calmed himself down and decided to make the decision.
"The verdict is... Guilty."
He then used his hammer for three times after continuing.
"In addition you were also acc-"
"Accused of the planned bombing in the Kasles that destroyed 24% of the militaries assets and also the only formula for an elixir."
'they really are using me for the people to believe that it's not the Union's fault for the accident huh. When will they stop with their scripted, and fabricated words i wonder. '
The judge, in a state of confusion then clicked his tongue before giving the verdict. Guilty.
'how did she know?!'
Asked the judge who's baffled at her demeanor. He then stopped paying attention to his thoughts to continue the trial.
"Furthermore yo-"
"Attempted terrorism to the greegherio dam and flooded the province of Khalis to embezzle the ministry of Gheritudes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, go on with that bullshit."
The judge was rendered speechless. The girl had recited off what he's supposed to say in perfect unity and leave some few comments of her's. She rolled her eyes off and the judge clenched his fist. Then giving the verdict, guilty.
"To top it all off -"
"Accused of sabotaging the national stratum cable to vandalize public transport to destabilize the country and to abduct livestocks. Didn't that got fixed in like just hours. Can't you give a better crime to blame me?"
"Silence! I never gave you the permission to speak! Your life depends on me! So be quiet!!
She chuckled, yawning at the process. The judge then once again clicked his tongue in anger, baring his hostility to the girl below her, before calming himself down, inhaling and exhaling softly. Then again giving the verdict of guilty before continuing.
"And lastly you-"
"Attempted to organize military personnel and bait them to fall flat in the gates of the Abyss to call for the demon king to demolish this accursed country. Wow you really went hard in this last one huh.
'They really blamed me to most of the resistance's crime huh. How petty can these politicians be to blame almost everything to a single person. I wonder who's more malicious, the demon king or them. Well to be honest i don't think that the demon king have the capacity to-'
"ENOUGH!, you scum of a criminal, I WILL HEAR YOUR WORDS NO LONGER!"
The judge stood up screaming in anger, cutting of the girl's train of thoughts once again.
"What? Am i supposed to be formal even if i can't defend the accu-"
"ENOUGH! I SAID ENOUGH!.. you"
The judge point's his finger, clenching his jaw, as the girl chucked at his image.
"Pleading guilty in all charges, i hereby DECLARE YOUR SENTENCE. DEATH PENALTY! GET HER OUT OF HERE!!"
A loud sounds of the judge's hammer was heard "BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM" Then the two escorts before grabbed the girl once again as she laughs, dragging her off the room.
"HA HA HA HA. These dumbass couldn't really keep their temper long huh."
'Scums. Drag me all you want but if you think killing me will silence me then you're wrong. I'll remember you judge, i'll remember these two guards, i'll also remember these observers as well. Just you wait, just you wait.'
Laughing as she was dragged off the court, glaring daggers at the judge as the door slowly shut closed.

"Your Majesty, please reconsider your words."
Her, pleading at me with concern.
"Why? I had already consider it, that I will leave this place and go to the land of man. Will you dare disregarding my decisions?"
I retorted, staring at her, then i stopped and instead marched to depart at the Kolealis stronghold, my castle, where i used to stay. Then as i depart, she followed me.
"To my deepest apologies your majesty if my words disregard yours but there wasn't really a way for you to leave to the land of man."
"You don't have to worry. If your worries was that if i declared war unprepared and lost then fret not. I won't, I'll just spy on them and take a look understood?"
"Uhh. Please your majesty, if you want a spy then it can be me or someone you wanted.
I stopped at my tracks and looked at her, narrowing my eyes.
"Oh my... So you're saying every demon can leave this place with the exception of myself?
flinching at my words anxiously, she looked away. Sighing back ignoring her, i continued my march.
"Please listen to me, there wasn't really a way for the demon king to leave this place before that time arrives."
She plead, following me and trying her best to halt my advance, which failed, as i continued to advance.
"What do you mean?"
I questioned.
"Allow me to tell everything thoroughly"
She continued.
"Your Majesty be it that you couldn't leave this place, was due to the way this world is constructed. Supposedly demon kings couldn't leave the place until the gate in the land of man opened, the gate where the land of man and the land of demon would connect. Therefore it is why i'm telling you your majesty it is futile to walk around aimlessly."
She explained with a pang of concern pleading in her eye. Truth to her words, she hadn't said any lie, although she hasn't fully explained it yet, giving me a moment of contemplation.
"What are the condition in opening the gate?"
I asked, giving her another question, as i move forward.
"... Vital fluid, full enough to fill an entire pool. Lambs, the wool of their body to burn in the passage of rights. And lastly, an elixir. To connect our world between each others. With the right conditions the gate will open."
"I see... So is that why demons other than me could be able to go to the other land, to do such conditions. is what you're stating? Then why not just transport me?"
"Apologies for the misunderstanding your Majesty, only demons with the higher rank can be able to do such feat. And... No sir, demons couldn't interfere for the gate to open.
"Then why can't i?"
"The world made it seem that way... A law, presumably. And to your questions, no, transporting demons to the land of man require to be slightly stronger than the demon their going to transport supposedly."
Giving her full explanation, i ended my advance. Sighing heavily, i looked at her once again contemplating at the moment.
"Hmm, very well. I understood it completely."
"Is that so? I am deeply honored your Majesty"
Bowing at me in satisfaction she smiled. However that didn't last very long. If i can't go with any means necessary, then i can't do anything but retort to what i'm best at. Violence that is.
"I'll force my way out then"
She paralyzed after sho stopped bowing will her looking at me, her eyes devoid of life as if her soul fades away frozen.
"Umm... ah ha ha, surely not."
Sweat falls in her forehead in moments notice. But then again, she's sweater profusely after stating that i would leave here. And yes my words are intangible this point of time.
"you, as i said, i had already consider my choice. So do not meddle with your kings order... Is that clear?"
"Ah i-..."
After sometime along with her thoughts she sighed. She conceded.
"Sigh... Very well your Majesty, i shall respect your decision with my heart. Then please allow me to lend you a hand of needed."
"It is appreciated"
Nodding at her, with a brief moments of ease, i then once again moved forward without batting an eye on what's behind me. She followed relatively close to my side, slightly behind my back without saying any word.
Now what i only need is a way to leave this place, and since i couldn't leave this place as the demon king. I'll force my way out here.
