JUDGES

PRESENT * - Archades 706 AV

The girl watched the judge leave, leave the room where they were training until a few minutes ago. Shortly after, on the threshold of the room appeared the figure of Judge Zargabaath came to take a look on how the training of the young assistant of his colleague Gabranth proceeded.

The judge's figure had suddenly appeared as if out of nowhere, Zargabaat was believed by many people, including many soldiers, a judge and an honest person, he was a man slightly older than Vayne had graying black hair and black eyes.

A face with the expression and traits of a mature person with features at the same time a bit doci, had polite manners. He was a very tall man with a slender, muscular body.

Even if they did not know each other very well at Chantal, it often happened that they met the judge Zargabaath, with whom he often exchanged some fleeting joke. Of all the judges, Zargabaath and Gabranth were the only judges with whom Chanal got along very well while with the rest very often there were fairly strong arguments.

In particular there was a strong dislike of each other with Judge Drace from whom Chantal was not well seen.

Zargabaath using an excuse tried to approach the girl, the ways in which the judge turned to Gabranth's assistant were always kind but unusual at the same time.

- Good morning, Lady Chantal, I am honored to see you.

-The pleasure is all mine your Excellency.

"Did something happen with Judge Gabranth?" Inquired Zargabaath, asking the girl, "The judge was worried about the strange behavior of his colleague.

-Nothing happened. He's just worried, but I ignore the cause.

-This is always the case, my lady is not new. - The judge sighed, thinking of Gabranth's situation.

-Excellency, it will not be for you a novelty, but to me this thing is a matter of concern. I have the feeling that Judge Gabranth always holds the weight of the world on himself. I wonder what is it that makes it go on? He is different both in the soul and in the body.

He pointed out the girl as she thought of her mentor. He knew very well what it felt like to be in that situation.

-I do not know, my lady. He is the most ambiguous and mysterious of all, I would dare to add that more often than not it is also very atypical. I do not know if it bears the weight of the world, as you say. But I know that the tasks he is occupying and carrying out, for his Highness, are of great importance. Not for nothing has complete trust of the emperor.

- Whether the emperor or another matters little. The judge is not calm, that's for sure.

- Are not you really sure? Did you ask Gabranth? "Asked the judge, asking the girl if what he said was true.

-I know it's enough. You notice especially, even if I know almost nothing about him .. I could not explain how I know these things, but I just know-

-Do you care about the fate of a perfect stranger? Excuse the question Lady Chantal, but what is it for you?

-For me?! ...- The judge's question took by surprise to the young girl, who had never wondered what the judge was for her. For her, the judge was like a figure of reference to what is ambiguous and mysterious.

Among all the judges and the imperial figures, Judge Magister Gabranth had something that attracted him something very familiar that in no way could the girl ignore.
