CHAPTER 22

'TOOK OVER THE  CLAN'

ALTHYS TOKUGAWA

A TOKUGAWA spy called us to the Venizelos trial court para kay Art, I volunteer to be his lawyer without him even knowing it dahil matapos n'ya pala umuwi nung nakaraan ay hinuli na siya ng mga Venizelos guards.

Kasama kong pumasok sa trial court sina Shiela at kuya Cy, they all look so shock and I even saw the Rheanna's lawyer on the other side with his jaw dropping.

"Punta na kami doon" turo ni kuya Cy sa isang front seat kaya tumango ako

I stand in the counsel table with the prosecutor, tahimik ang lahat and every gossips stops as soon as I reach my place.Nilingon ko si Art at kunot ang noo niya but I just stand there looking at him with no emotions.

"Goodmorning everyone and thank you, welcome to the Venizelos Court Attorney Althys Tokugawa and Attorney Hace Hartford.. before we get started I am Revero O'Farell" ani ng judge

Marami pa silang sinabi hanggang sa si Attorney Hace na ang magde-defend sa kliyente n'ya na sina Rheanna at Artherios.

"Araw ng sabado ay napatay si Mr.Cervilus Nymus Venizelos ng kaniyang sariling anak na si Artillery Venizelos, we all know that whoever kills the emperor must be in prison and must accept the consequences which is the death penalty" may ipinakita itong litrato sa isang malaking screen "These are the proofs that Mr.Artillery Venizelos killed his own father, photos during and after the crime"

Lumingon saakin si Attorney Hace but I didn't react or anything, is he expecting me to be intimidated by his so called evidences and explanation?

Marami pa siyang nasabi ukol sa nangyari until the judge told me that it's my turn, I opened something on a screen and that is the old file of Mr.Cervilus na ibinigay ni kuya saakin bilang proof dito.

"Excuse me Miss Attorney, is that relevant?" ani Rheanna, emphasizing the word Attorney

"Very" simpleng sagot ko

Inayos ko lang saglit ang nasa screen bago ako nag-simulang mag-salita.

"I am hoping for no interruptions, let's get to the point.This is an old public portable document format of Mr.Cervilus and they stated here that his marital status is divorced which is confusing because he's been married to Mrs.Rheanna Vis Elwood-Venizelos and they have three sons," inilipat ko ang litrato at lumabas doon ang litrato ng lapida "This is a gravestone of Ms.Paint Wadsworth, did you notice that Artillery and Ms.Paint have the same surname and middle name?This woman has been assassinated by somebody and base on our research, she's assassinated by Medici Clan"

"There's also an audio record of Mr.Cervilus saying that he wants Artillery to be dead but he can't do that because he will lose his people and his wealth.Turns out that Ms.Paint is the ex-wife of Mr.Cervilus, si Mr.Cervilus din ang nag-utos sa Medici Clan para patayin si Ms.Paint and he performed the annulment thing after she died so he can be remarried to Mrs.Rheanna"

Everyone gasp on what they've heard at pinipigilan pa ni Artherios si Rheanna na sugudin ako.

"I'm not done, ang middle name nila Artherios at Gunwrench ay Elwood na siyang surname noon ni Mrs.Rheanna, Mr.Cervilus wants Artherios to rule the clan because he hates Art for having his dead mother's blood.Mrs.Rheanna is a mistress of Mr.Cervilus but after he killed Ms.Paint, Mrs.Rheanna became his wife" I saw people at the back crying for some reason "That day, Art killed his father because he tortured him and I called that a self-defense, Mr.Cervilus also killed my father infront of Art.It doesn't make Art an innocent man from killing his father but it makes the clan belongs to him and the consequences must not work to him for as he will be the next emperor"
