0066. Le roi et sa concubine ont tetement elecorchees (King and his concubines were heavily flayed)
There's no way to squint. The problem this time had already entered into the strange realm.
As a King and head of State whose movements are always observed, Kaizen must be able to take advantage at every opportunity. However, through the reported incident of Grand Consort Katarina, Kaizen was unable to take advantage of various sides. There was even a mute; given how Katarina was skinned at the first court held today.
The Duke of Edinburgh did not come empty-handed. The man came with careful preparation. Within a week, the Duke of Edinburgh had conducted a massive under-the-radar investigation. Although fairly short, but the Duke of Edinburgh managed to gather a lot of evidence that can incriminate punishment for the reported, namely Grand Consort Katarina. Now it is difficult to convict, because there is already evidence accompanied by witnesses.
In court, evidence and witnesses are the two most important options to consider. If both options are met, the High Court will conduct an ongoing review.
“Actually what have you done to my Queen, damn*n!” the hiss was actually shrill, yet it still sounded clearly in Katarina's ears.
Until this moment, Katarina was still a big head, if only Kaizen did not break the stigma he had believed.
“All will be fine.” Kaizen said a moment ago, still fresh in memory. However, the more evidence thrown by the Duke of Edinburgh, his lover seemed to be beginning to falter. The man appeared to be consumed by the Duke of Edinburgh's trap.
They were not only lovers, but allies as well. Breaking the trust between them was extremely advantageous for the opponent. Perhaps that is also the goal of the Duke of Edinburgh. In fact, Katarina always believes in Kaizen who offers love, affection, status, and protection from the beginning they met. However, the man's trust these days is easily broken.
“So, how is His Majesty the Concubine? Did you receive a report from the Duke of Edinburgh? Or refute the report?”
Catherine stood up from her seat. The sweat of a piece of corn that adorns the temple is simply ignored, because there is more important than a grain of corn that is a sign that he was hit by nervousness.
“I refute the report, because I think the evidence and witnesses brought by the Duke of Edinburgh are still not convincing enough. After all, no one can immediately say if I am the mastermind behind the attempted kidnapping of the Former Queen.”
“Moreover that is not convincing enough?” ask the Duke of Edinburgh with a face and a flat tone. “Here have been present witnesses who have been sworn will speak honestly.”
The Duke of Edinburgh still seemed calm, as he came without his bare hands. Like a chess piece, he had prepared several pawns that could completely eradicate the stubborn great nature of Grand Consort Catherine. The woman is the only king who has no veins of shame and fear. However, for now he will break the trust between the lovers first. If they were to split apart, it would be easier to defeat him.
“There's something I want to say, Duke of Edinburgh,” Kaizen said, opening the sound after a long silence. “On that night Grand Consort Katarina was carrying out her duties as the King's woman. How could he possibly have committed all the charges leveled by the Duke of Edinburgh? It could have been that all the accusations were deliberately made to trap Grand Consort Katarina.”
Quietly Katarina nodded with haru. In the end, it was this defense that he had been waiting for.
“Could be the soldiers and servants you mentioned as witnesses conspired to trap Grand Concubine Katarina,” Kaizen continued after leaving her throne. “After all you have conducted a self-inquiry, so there are most likely doubts arising on the results of the investigation. Supposedly, a big problem like this involves the internal party of the palace for investigation.”
The Duke of Edinburgh pulled the corners of the lips, creating a deadly grin that was rarely shown. He had guessed that King Robelia would defend all-out his mistress. Wh why? Because the woman is not only a lover and a satisfying partner above, but the best ally that is made into a pawn. The Duke of Edinburgh was too keen to assess the situation and conditions.
“Is there a guarantee of justice if internal parties are included in the investigation?” the Duke of Edinburgh. “From previous events, my younger brother who had just experienced an attempted kidnapping incident that could very well be an attempted murder, was, directly herded to the High Court only because of childish rumors circulating outside.”
Kaizen. Katarina also huffed. No one dared to speak up, except for the duke of Edinburgh who looked very gallant and brave to turn the subject around.
“My sister was not even given the opportunity to provide a defense.” The Duke of Edinburgh's sharp eyes. This time not only staring at lovers who often behave like animals. “You accused him of adultery and treason. Just because he was seen spending a few times with the Imperial Young Eagle, then you accuse them of having a disgusting relationship.”
“Do you guys have time to do a follow-up investigation?” ask the Duke of Edinburgh, again. This time her eyes stopped the woman who looked like she was in such ugly duckling. “Even before even 24 hours since the incident that shocked all the people of Robelia, the lover of your leader coolly invited the noble women to a tea party at his residence.”
This time it was Katarina who was made riveted. His mind wondered, how could Khayansar know all that?
Is it possible Khayansar psychic? It doesn't feel possible. More likely, the man must have had many accomplices in Robelia. It is also impossible that he could easily close his ears if since the last few months rumors spread if his sister asked for divorce to the King. The rumors had reached his ears.
“My arrival today was not to criticize let alone skin the attitude of the number one couple in Robelia, but rather to clear the name of my sister, Kayena de Pexley.”
Khayansar's abstinence from letting her sister's name be tainted for too long. Given the great possibility, his sister will still maintain “benih” entrusted by the rancid dog*n standing before him.
Kayena is too good to remove the innocent creatures in her womb. Reflecting from her previous loss, the beautiful woman was devastated. Even if this time she conceived unplanned, to her the creature in her womb was still the care of an innocent and ignorant God. So, as an older brother who wants his sister to live happily after being freed from Robelia's palace, Khayansar must first clear the brother's good name.
“Throughout her tenure as Queen Robelia, Kayena has done her job well. As a wife, or queen of this land. However, the replies you give are mistrust, betrayal, defamation, even attempted murder.” This time Khayansar stared at Kaizen. Tight, as if there was no other object in his eyes, other than his former brother-in-law who was lying*n it. “Clean my Brother's name. Please do a re-inquiry, because I have paved the way for the truth.”
After saying so, Khayansar walked one more step. Forward, facing King Robelia and her lover. “For the future, do not bother the Pexley family anymore, if you do not want this country to be a sea of blood.”
Obtaining the challenge of war openly, the courtroom of course became boisterous instantly. However, Kaizen herself chose to be quiet. Although his ego has been trampled on since.
“Please remove Pexley surname from existing history Robelia. Because we also do not want to deal anymore with Robelia, even though the last heir of this country will be with us.” The sentence was spoken aloud, covered in puzzles that could not be immediately understood. “As a last gift, I present a witness who is unlikely to doubt his testimony.”
There was a grin on Khayansar's cold face. After saying so, he then turned around, stepping away towards the door that had just opened. Let a young servant into the room.
“Complete your task,” Khayansar said as she passed the waiter.
“Good, Young Master,” replied.
Khayansar smiled thinly, very thinly. Even without turning around, he can win confusion and shock from the back. Followed by a loud screech of ugly duckling that now his heart must have stopped working stuff for a moment.
“Kyara, what are you doing here!”
