"I am Rectiman Sepangle. I am a legal representative. And this is the court of justice." He explained as he walked into the room.

"Why am I here?" Char yelled.

"You are here because some people asked the Castle to let you speak. Like an apology. They are getting it." Rectiman replied.

"It is all over. There is no use of it anymore. My father died. My friend died. There is no hope anymore." Char said indifferently.

"Why?"

"We could not find our enemy."

"Is it necessary for every story to have a villain?"

"What do you mean?"

"There is no one against you."

"But we did nothing wrong. It was wrong on the part of the Castle to hide such important data from the people."

"Yes and no."

"What?"

"Yes because you have the right to know. It is a natural right, I agree."

"Then why no?"

"No because this isn't a game. We obey laws and nothing more."

"Are you trying to say that all these things are natural?"

"Yes. There is not villain. It was a past that we had. When human beings came to Styx they had decided that the posterity would not know about the earth. It is a matter of shame what our ancestors did to Earth. So when they framed the laws of nations they took special care to hide the truth. Only the laws could make us more civilized, restricted, united and mostly witty. They feared that we would do what they did to Earth on Styx too. Since laws aren't wrong, what did was also not wrong. Their intentions were pure."

"Are you saying that the problem is wit the laws?"

"Laws are for peace. That is why laws are build, to maintain stability."

"So there are no individuals, organization or the Establishment or anything like that against us?"

"No."

"What will happen after all these?"

"What do you think?"

"I don't know. I am going to die anyway. It is all over."

"If so this is the end of this chapter. This chapter will not be added to the pages of history."

"Who rules the Colony?"

"Laws."

"How?" Char asked.

"How?" Char asked
