"Ti'll we meet again"

Techno had left swiftly after that statement. Now he was regretting it. He regretted not talking more with the enchanter, Cypress they had said their name was. Techno had never heard anything like it. Although he could tell it was not a normal overworld name, nor one from the nether, those tended to be long and wordy like his own. He'd only realized how little words had been exchanged between the two after he had went over the conversation over and over again in his head. So little words, yet the sound of her voice was stuck in his head. The way she had laughed and smiled with the most genuine smile he had seen in years. Their energy was really contagious.

He was in turmoil over his decision to leave very quickly. Even the voices in his head seemed split. Half warning him that if he stayed any longer he could have been recognized, or even had already been recognized justifying the need to move fast. The other half arguing that he could have stayed longer and talked more since he hadn't talked to anyone other than Tommy in months, he had only been communicating with Phil through letters. The voices convinced Techno that he had done the best thing in leaving quickly, he could have handled the guards that might have come if he had stayed longer. However, he was pretty sure Cypress would struggle with the guards, or worse she would aid the guards in taking him captive. It was for the best. he told himself over and over again.

It was not for the best.

------------------------------------( Cypress POV )----------------------------------------

His abrupt exist had not shocked Cypress one bit, he seemed to be in a rush from the moment he had entered her humble business. However what had surprised Cypress was mere moments after the pig man named technoblade had left her line of sight, three netherite clad men had showed up forcing their way into her stand.

"Who are you and what do you want." Cypress spat at them as the last one made their way into her stand. Cypress had never especially liked the government or the royal guards, though she never had a reason to outwardly hate them. But now as three heavily armed, what cypress could assume were guards, made their way into her stall she began regretting not speaking out about the corrupt government sooner.

"Who we are is not your concern." said the tallest guard, with an air of worry in his voice, although he seemed like the kind of person to always be worried. He had bright orange hair and what looked like fox ears poking out of his helmet.

"And what were doing is giving you a chance to admit to your crimes and come with us before we take you forcefully." said the one in the middle, a slight smile creeping onto his face. His black hair tucked into a beanie underneath the helmet. all three were wearing what seemed to be butchers aprons underneath their armor.

then it hit cypress, their here to arrest me, but why, i haven't done anything illegal.

"I haven't committed any crimes, i don't know what your talking about." Cypress responded, the confusion clear in her voice.

"playing dumb are we well-" the middle one started to say but was abruptly cut off by the smallest of the three. "Big Q now is not the time for this" he said facing the beanie clad one. Then facing back to Cypress he said "Cypress L'Ghast you are under arrest for conspiracy to commit war crimes. You will be taken to L'Manburg to await your trial, any failure to comply will be seen as an admission of guilt."

Little to say Cypress was confused and terrified at the same time. She was also quite angry and for good reason. She was being taken to the capital to await a trial for a crime she obviously didn't do. Sure she wasn't the most patriotic but she wasn't a war criminal (that's called foreshadowing).

She had spent so long working towards a stable life only to have it turned upside down now. Sure she would probably not be convicted, because she was innocent, but rumors travel fast. And once she returned to her village, hopefully she would be able to come back, she would defiantly be known as the girl who got arrested and put on trial.

what happened to the justice the government was supposed to provide each and every citizen

this did not feel like justice, in fact quite the opposite,

injustice.
