"Alright let's get started shall we!" Miss Mercy bowed at me and a White Man to the left of me. The same men who flashed the first light In the forest. He was sitting comfortably On a red throne unlike me I was stuck In a glass box, and their supposed to hate my kingdom for being unfair or something but at least I would've had a decent chair. More than decent actually...My father...She made him sound like a tyrant or like he didn't care about the kingdom's feelings but that's not...that's not my father..I left because I didn't want to be locked up not because he was a manipulator or abuser but maybe Im thinking too much about this because at the same time-
"Hellooooo! Name Ma'am" Miss Mercy sang leaning on her podium. I jumped but let out a sigh, let the trial commence!
"My Names..V...."
Miss Mercy lifted an eyebrow.
"Vengeance" I accidentally said out loud but no one thought that name was unusual nothing was heard from the courtroom full of people. "Alright Vengeance Your being accused of breaking Forrest Accommodation, Forrest Destruction, Defamation Of Character, The Liars Habbit, PA to The Captain, Disrespect to the Karma Constitution/ Company, and last but not least resisting containment/detainment. "What do you have to say for yourself Vengeance as a spy for the City there's no way to not be aware of the forest rules" She pressed, The white man to the left of me shook his head
"Maveen, If I may?"
"Take It Away" She smiled almost like she was watching her favorite TV show, no way she was amused by a trial.
"This girl Is 14 years old and therefore not aware of The Liars Habit she also goes to an underpaid school In the City the Karma Constitution was barely talked about she did not know of these forest laws this was her first spy mission here You can't really-"Miss Mercy walked down the stairs of the big stage her podium was sitting on top. She glared at the man "You can't really think you can lie" She looked down at the man."Mr. Phoniex you do know I am empathic, I feel traces of deception In your tone, you are under oath!" Her voice grew loud.
"I understand Miss Mercy" He looked down, his body shook, the man was petrified of this woman who seemed to be so childish and kind I didn't understand It but maybe that's another thing about this "forest society" Guess I'll have to ask my dad..heh my dad. I miss him
"Truth Is My-" Miss Mercy raised her hand high then balled her fist up she lowered It to his stomach "I hate liars" She punched his stomach region sending him flying, cracking the wall as well. The Church burst Into gasps.
"He's gone and made Maveen Mad" One voice ooed from the audience. A kid clapped jumping up and down laughing "Miss Mercy!" She yelled happily. "Her Strength rivals that of Goddess's" A man mumbled. "Maveen" One person started. "Maveen" A Women Added. "Maveen" "Maveen" "Maveen, Maveen" The crowd chanted getting louder each time. She floated back over to the podium. "Maveen!" The people of the court grew louder. "Order!" She yelled banging the gavel. The court was silent now as I stood In shock. She has so much power as a judge...
"Anyway" She smiled.
"Since your lawyer Is a hideous, two-toned liar, and I traced no malice In you I'm just gonna let you go!" She smiled brightly. A spark flew to me"REALLY?!" I yelled out. She nodded happily, her personality reminded me of our jesters"Yep Normally we would go through such a long struggle to find a better-equipped lawyer for you but enough I'm the judge I call the shoots!" She laughed after that.
A Man came behind me with a key unlocking the handcuffs. I was so happy I could've broken down, finally, I could go home, Finally, I could see my father, trying to explore the outside world was a mistake, the biggest In my life. I looked back at the man with wet closed eyes "Thank you" I was so happy I wanted to run out right there and never look back not worry about fights, the justice system, this stupid war brewing, or "Karma" Take her to the confession room. My heart dropped "Karma" I almost forgot about everything he's put me through all the anguish, betrayal, and mental abuse. I opened my eyes to see the one taking the handcuffs off me was Indeed Karma. He nodded at Mercy not speaking once to me. We walked out the glass room and of the court Into the hallway where he finally spoke up. "Im not just evil okay?" He said. "I don't want to talk to you"
