Rise of the Inquisition (Arcs 7-9)

Chapter 192: Discussions needed

The throne room was dead silent. After Jingks had finished speaking, everyone in the room was waiting for a response from King Arthur, or from Einhart. Einhart continues to smirk, and he waits to see if King Arthur was going to speak. But when it became clear that King Arthur wasn't going to say anything yet, Einhart cleared his throat.

"There is no need for any discussion Inquisitor Jingks, for the outcome of the trial has already been determined. Mordred Diane is a traitor to High Garden, and the High Elves. She must be executed."

Jingks shakes his head while Archer continues to tightly hold onto to Lady Diane, looking back at Einhart with flames ablaze in his eyes.

"Do anything that is considered against Mordred, and I won't hold my fury back. There shall not be any execution, and Mordred will be walking out of High Garden, free."

Jingks nods his head as he agreed with Archer, under no circumstances would Lady Diane be staying in High Garden. Jingks, on the behalf of the Inquisition, was planning on making it a reality, with only one restriction that he was holding himself to. War.

"The Inquisition will not be allowing any execution of Lady Diane, who for the sake of no miscommunication, I shall be referring to as Mordred Diane while speaking."

"Took you forever to refer to her as Mordred--"

"Continuing on with what I was saying. If Mordred Diane is executed, there will be severe consequences for High Garden."

"Such as?"

Jingks had already assumed that King Arthur was well aware of the consequences, since the Lord Inquisitor's message for Einhart was very clear with what it said.

"King Arthur, I do believe you heard the message I delivered on behalf of the Lord Inquisitor, for Einhart, so therefore I don't believe I need to go into much detail about the severe consequences. They're pretty self explanatory. But, not only will there be consequences if Mordred is executed, there will also be severe consequences if she continues to be mistreated by High Garden. Therefore Einhart, I do believe that the discussion needed to be had is rather important. High Garden needs to correct everything they've done against Mordred."

Chatter started up again around the room. The Royal Class was speaking about the Inquisition, and about the warnings, which they considered threats against High Garden. Jingks could overhear a few of the conversations, and he hears discussions about the Inquisition defeat to the Legion of Death. The discussions generally concluding that even though the Inquisition lost to the Legion of Death, they still shouldn't test the Inquisition or try to provoke them. King Arthur hears these conversations, much like Jingks, but he shows no reaction to it. He wasn't paying any attention to the crowd around him, seemingly he was making conclusions about what they should do by himself, not influenced by the others around him.

"Very well Inquisitor Jingks. However, everything that High Garden has done against Mordred Diane is justified."

Jingks immediately shook his head, he couldn't find King Arthur more wrong.

"Your reasons for executing her are invalid, and simply aren't right."

"Inquisitor Jingks, you do not have the authority to be determining what are valid reasons for execution, and what aren't valid reasons for execution."

"Authority isn't needed King Arthur, to determine whether the reasons for an execution are valid or invalid. What determines whether your executions are valid or invalid, isn't authority but instead common sense. Executing someone over being something they were born as, for Mordred being half High Elf and half Human Beast, isn't justified using common sense. But, it is instead wrong and inhumane. She didn't make the decision to be born, but was forcibly brought into this without choice by her birth father and birth mother. If there is anyone that should be punished by such a law, which in my opinion doesn't make sense, then it should be the birth father and birth mother of Mordred."
