The whispers fell silent when the door opened and heavy footsteps entered Mirror Castle, accompanied by the clinking sound of chains.

Sunlight sprung from the tall cylindrical windows, illuminating his pale white skin and slim figure, as Iro Fenice led an Iredescent criminal into the main hall, standing behind him as he walked forward.

The Iredescent criminal was bound in silver chains around his arms and chest, keeping his hands tied behind his back. Iro's blue firewall encircled him as he walked, allowing restricted movement so he wouldn't escape. The firewall appeared like a force field made of film that was flame, kept within a close but safe distance.

The Iredescent criminal was handsome, with lush hair as soft as velvet and as black as coal. His Byzantium purple trench coat gleamed over a metallic dark emerald green long-sleeved shirt and slim-fitted black pants. His black boots, constructed of thick leather material lined with Mijishian steel, were the shoes that made the heavy footsteps.

Suduko Tristanle, the Ruler of Iredescent, was seated on a throne made entirely of shattered glass, the mirrored design scattering the morning sunlight into rainbowed hues. The sunlight skipped over his tall muscular figure, ascending his wavy, shoulder-length sky blue hair like a ladder, climbing to where a lightweight purple crown rested atop his head, glittering with the Iredescent rose emblem shaped from a purple gemstone.

His enormous wings were deep shades of blue with silver glitter. A deep purple cape draped stylishly around his sleeveless tunic and pants, a myriad of blue colors, reminiscent of the sky meeting an ocean.

Suduko's main advisor, Raistin Fenice, was on Suduko's right side. Raistin was a Phoenix, an eternal that was considered the most powerful lifeform in the galaxy. Raistin ranked higher than anyone, even the Ruler of Iredescent, though a ruler was designated to rule planet Iredescent.

At first glance, one could hardly tell that this skinny attractive man was the most powerful lifeform in the galaxy. Long black hair, earthy brown eyes, smooth olive skin, a formal black suit, and a cheerful demeanor was what was usually seen of Raistin at first glance.

Today, however, Raistin's cheerful demeanor was replaced with a solemn gaze as he met the Iredescent criminal's eyes. Eyes that proved he had no remorse, feeling validated in his wrongdoing. Raisin sighed, not liking this sunlit melancholy event, though he was thankful it seldom occurred. Crime was rare on planet Iredescent.

Near Raistin stood the Iredescent criminal's children. He locked eyes with the oldest, his daughter who looked exactly like her father with long, thick black hair and emerald green eyes. She was holding her brother's hand as he cried, upset over his mother's death.

Even at sixteen, her impeccable beauty stood out like a rose in a garden, her light skin shimmer glistening like dewdrops on grass after a rainfall, touched with starlit diamonds that shone brightly from the night sky.

Her brother was thirteen. The sunlight illuminated his golden blond hair and andalusite eyes, reminding him of Vinessa. The Iredescent criminal's eyes hardened at the thought of his wife. His son was the very image of her, an image that filled him with vile. His eyes returned to his daughter, her fierce eyes demanding him to explain the crime he committed.

But the Iredescent criminal smiled tenderly at his daughter, having no intention of explaining himself, feeling justified in his actions.

"Killian Decuir, you are accused of murdering your wife, Vinessa Decuir," spoke Suduko Tristanle, starting the trial. "You are convicted of murder. Do you plead guilty of this crime?"
