Neji didn't wait for the servants at the door to open them before he barged in, tearing the doors open by himself with Hinata and Hanabi fast on his trail. Hiashi figured that he would inevitably come as soon as he hears about his lover's arrest and so was waiting for the prince in the throne room.

"Oujiwe!" Neji's voice was something between an exclamation and a yell. "I demand to know what is going on right now. For what reasons do you arrest my right hand, surely you do not this without solid proof of your accusations." Neji's mind was reeling with emotions that almost overwhelmed him but several years of practicing self control as a prince helped him in keeping those emotions in check.

"We have a witness against her." Hiashi pointed out as if it were the most obvious thing. "She would be executed for committing high treason but the ones who she sends messages to have not been discovered."

"Oujiwe please think about this case thoroughly!" Neji exclaimed.

"Silence!" Hiashi slammed his hand on his throne's armrest. "How shameful of you to be caught in a scandalous act such as whoring with a servant, and after your wife has been chosen at that! I am disappointed at you. I can not face the land of snow properly, not after your outrageous acts!"

"Tenten is not a whore." Neji gravely muttered.

"Ah re?!" Hiashi dared him to say that to his face and Neji took the challenge.

"I said Tenten is not a whore! She is the woman I love!" Neji announced loudly, causing a series of gasps and whispers to erupt among the occupants of the throne room. Hinata's eyes widened before softening understandably but Hiashi was a headstrong person who loved things to go his way.

"Outrageous!" Hiashi yelled. "This is completely preposterous! That woman is a criminal and she shall be executed, this is my decree!" Hiashi raged like bulls in a stampede. Sharp inhalations from his daughters reached his ears at his decree.

"Oujiwe!"

"Ouji-sama!"

Neji and the princesses exclaimed at the same time but Hiashi was beginning to rise from his throne. "That is a befitting end for one such as her and as for you Neji, you are marrying lady Shion and until then you are on a lockdown. You are not allowed to step foot outside your quarters." The king made sure to get that decree across to the guards and people in the room. Giving Neji a look of utter disdain, he clicked his tongue and walked out of the throne room.

Palace guards immediately appeared on both of Neji's sides, ready to implement the house arrest when the prince broke free of their clutches and stormed outside. There was nothing he could do against Hiashi's obstinacy. He was completely powerless against the king and Neji hated it. He hated being at the mercy of other people, he hated being so weak, to grovel at anybody's feet. He hated it so much but if it was for Tenten's sake, he would withstand anything.

"Oujiwe!"

Hiashi turned around as the eunuchs behind him parted to create a path for him. His almost white eyes widened to the size of ceramic plates at Neji's next actions. Hinata gasped and Hanabi gaped. Gasps of shock resonated through the place, the loudest of which was Shion's who was watching the scenario from the throne room's doors.
