Chapter 61: Chapter 61

Chapter 60

"You don't have to go if you don't want to," Trevas said because he knew I had a bad memory of Plaza De Rinos. It was in that plaza that papa was killed and in that plaza it all started.

I don't know if Plaza De Rinos still looks the same as I remember but I don't want to know. Maybe it would be better if I didn't go first. It is not required to attend the four grand balls but we are required to go on the fourth day because that is where the ritual will be performed.

I leaned back on the sofa and gasped. I opened my mouth and said that I wish I hadn't just come when someone spoke in the direction of the door.

"Your highness, Jerome wants to talk to you" If my memory is correct, Jerome was the one Trevas ordered to investigate about the gold mine.

"Let him in" Trevas said and at the same time the door opened and a tall and big man entered who I think was Jerome.

"I've done what you ordered, your highness"

"Already?" Trevas asked curiously and even I was surprised too. He had just investigated about the gold mine, so surprisingly, his staff immediately investigated about it.

"Yes, it didn't take me long before I found out who already holds the title because he is a well -known person here in the capital."

I can't help but smile. Looks like I already know who.

***

In the center of the vast kingdom of Bauxacel is located the capital which is where the palace is located and in the center of the capital is located the Plaza De Rinos. On the far right of the plaza is a stone stage platform stained with blood and here the execution of criminals with serious crimes is often carried out.

If to the right of the Plaza is a scary place you will turn to the left side surrounded by trees and flowers. It also has a stage platform but it is much bigger and cleaner compared to the stage platform that is used every time someone is hung.

This part of the Plaza is used whenever there is a big occasion such as the threekingdom alliance ceremony. Large round tables were laid out on which expensive plates were placed, and expensive chairs with soft mattresses surrounded the table.

"I'm going to talk to her later" King Hermes said to his son Luke. They were inside a tent set-up at the back of the stage-platform. They can't go out until the grand ball starts.

Luke turned to his father. He was standing on the back of the tent while the king was sitting on a couch inside the tent.

"I will tell her everything before it's too late" continued the king but Luke still didn't say a word and just looked back outside the tent. No one knew what he was thinking.

The grand ball began and King Hermes and his only son Luke entered the scene. Everyone stood up when they announced their arrival in honor of the king and at the same time everyone sat down at the same time as he sat down.

"There are no representatives from other kingdoms yet?" the king asked one of the royal gurads but before he could answer a royal guard announced the arrival of what he expected.

"The representative from Beifang has arrived" Everyone turned in the direction of the door. There was talk today between the nobles who attended about the possibility that the representative from Beifang would not attend. The news has spread that Princess Alissa of Beifang is also Alissa Knoxx who is thought to have died here in Plaza De Rinos with her family so everyone thought that the said princess would not be attending.

"Is it really true?" wrinkled when Lina asked me, she looked at Jerome who was following us.

Jerome is holding the papers that I will need to punish the one who framed up papa a year ago. There are the titles of the mines and lands allegedly stolen by the Knoxx family and there are also the proofs of who actually owned the title to those.

"Yes, this is it Lina." I smiled at Lina before looking back to the front. Everyone is watching us, especially Jerome, who should not be here because only nobles can attend this celebration.

We walked to the very front and bowed before the king in respect.

“May I ask prince Trevas” Introduction of the king “What is one of your people doing here? And what are the papers he is carrying for? ”

"Let me answer your question Your majesty" I answered before Trevas could speak. I took one of the papers Jerome was holding and raised it in the king's direction.

“This. Will show how dirty and corrupt the government of Bauxacel is ”I said and suddenly the people shouted, especially the ministers who are in the leadership of this kingdom.

What what people were saying but I just stayed calm and watched the reaction of the king and Luke but I was very disappointed when they also stayed calm.

"Care to elaborate, princess Alissa?" said one of the ministers.

“What’s there to elaborate? Should we really believe what he says? ” I turned to the speaker and couldn't help but smile.

"You sure are brave to say that Minister Haviour" He turned to me and looked at me earnestly. “Let’s see how long that bravery of yours will last”

I took the book record of information about papa's case and I smiled even more when I saw the faces of minister Haviour and minister Laxxon turn white.

“Based on the record book of the investigation that was conducted a year ago on the case of my father. He was accused of: Bribery, thievery of citizen’s taxes and gold mines, stolen magical treasure, possession of illegal magical jewelries, abusing authority power for personal gains and lastly, he was accused of plotting a revolution against the royal family ”
