Hey guys, let's find out the pleas of the accused party! Much love, RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
"You are now going to be asked how you plead on the charges that are currently against you" Ben advised as he looked at the accused party.
"Do you understand?" he questioned.
"Yes" they all said together.
"Queen Elder Leah Beauty of South Riding" he said as he looked at her.
"Yes your Majesty" she replied with a blank look on her face.
"On the count of treason do you plead guilty or not guilty?" he questioned.
"Not guilty" she stated bluntly and I watched as Ben's eyes widened in shock. I had to make sure that I didn't show any emotion on my face. I didn't know how she could even say that given the amount of evidence that was against her - unless she didn't know?
"On the count of conspiracy against the crown do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben asked.
"Not guilty" she repeated.
"On the count of conspiracy for blackmail, do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben continued.
"Not guilty" she said for the third time.
"On the count of accumulation of information against the data protection act, do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben said.
"Not guilty" she said for the final time.
"Thank you; you may sit down" Ben answered and I watched as Queen Leah sat down on the seat that was waiting behind her.
"Dame Aphrodite of Olympus-" Ben started.
"Yes your Majesty" she replied.
"On the count of treason do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben asked and I watched as she quickly glanced at her family before she looked back at Ben.
"Guilty" she advised and the whole courtroom gasped. I watched as Queen Leah snarled; surely she could see that now that Aphrodite had pleaded guilty this was going to throw her into disrepute.
"On the count of conspiracy against the crown do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben continued.
"Guilty" she repeated and everyone gasped again. I watched as her family looked down to the ground in shame and I couldn't help but look down at the floor. I hated how this was affecting everyone involved; I just hoped that we could all get through this together.
"Thank you; you may sit down" Ben advised.
"Thank you" she replied and she sat down next to Queen Leah, who crossed her arms over her chest and looked away from her.
"Princess Tabatha Lilly of the Piccaninny Tribe-" Ben started and she smiled meekly up at him.
"On the count of treason do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben asked.
"Guilty" she stated and her parents looked down to the floor in embarrassment as everyone else gasped.
"On the count of conspiracy against the crown do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben stated.
"Guilty" she repeated and everyone gasped again.
"Thank you; you may sit down" Ben repeated and she sat down.
"Ava" Ben directed to her as he looked at her.
"On the count of treason do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben questioned.
"Guilty" she admitted and again the courtroom filled with gasps.
"On the count of conspiracy against the crown do you plead guilty or not guilty?" Ben continued.
"Guilty" she repeated and I watched as people shook their heads in disbelief.
"Thank you" Ben said and she nodded at him.
"Ceto" Ben said and he glanced over to her and she nodded at him.
"On the count of treason do you plead guilty or not guilty?" he asked her and she looked down nervously before she answered.
"Guilty" she confessed and Queen Athena shook her head in disappointment.
"On the count of conspiracy against the crown do you plead guilty or not guilty?" he asked for the final time.
"Guilty" she repeated and she looked down at the bottom of her tank.
"You will now all be presented with the evidence against you" Ben advised as he looked at the five of them.
"However you will be told when certain evidence is aimed at one of you if this is the case" he added.
"So let's begin..." he started and my stomach started to burn. It was now the point where the evidence now had to be discussed - and I didn't know how to feel about it at the moment.
P.S. Hey guys I just want to make you aware of something….
This is the part that we are up to right now; we are currently up to date. Right now I am working on the evidence and I will try to get it all together and make sure that it is perfect before I post it. See you all soon!
