"What? Court? How dare they!" Voltare shouted angrily as he slammed the phone onto the ground, being that's the closest thing to him, his servants all stood up tall, awaiting for him to unleash his anger. Voltare stood up from his seat and walked around the room angrily, ready to slam something else.
"Yes master, would you like me to get your lawyers ready?" A man said shakily.
Voltare stopped walking and banged his fist onto the table, the tale shook under the enormous pressure. The row of men bowed immediately, Voltare scanned every single one of them.
"Where is this court?" He finally asked, voice tight.
"Master, it's in England."
"England? Who's suing us?" He asked, frowning, England?
"Master, it was said that it's the Majestics and the Blood and Roses, also young master Kai will be testifying in court."
Voltare's eyes grew large as he heard the last phrase, he grunted, his whole body giving off fire. He then looked at them, "we're going! Get the lawyers ready, the plane leaves in two hours!"
"Yes master!" The row of men bowed, and walked out, closing the door behind them. Voltare strode over to the window and looked outside at where Cecilia's room is.
Kai is testifying? A sinister smile touched his lips, they're probably suing him about how he placed the poison in Cecilia... but aside from her, do they have any other proof? He will win this case and he will make all of them pay!
[2 hours later]
Voltare stepped into his car and the gates opened, slowly a row of cars made their way out of the mansion. Seith watched and waited, soon the row of cars left his sight, he grabbed his bag and quickly walked out of his room.
Carefully, he walked down the stairs quietly and made his way into Voltare's secret room, looking around carefully before slipping in. The room is pitch black, Seith took out a night light and plugged it in, the room lit up dimly.
Walking quickly, he went over to the sets of T.Vs, those security cameras, he put his bag on a table behind him. Bending down, he saw stacks and stacks of neatly placed video tapes of the whole house. Running his hands down the stack of videos and looked at it, then one tape caught his eyes, that's the one that he's looking for.
Taking out another video tape from his bag, he copied down everything on the security camera video tape. Then he pulled the original one out and placed the fake one in its place, switching the two of them.
Stuffing it into his bag, he looked around, there're no security cameras in this room. He looked up at the T.V sets, and rewinded one of them to where it caught him coming down, pressing the delete button, everything's gone.
Grabbing his bag he walked over to the night light and pulled it out, carefully, he slipped out of the door again, back into his room.
[Seith's Room]
"Now let's see some proof." He murmured to himself as he pushed the tape into the VCR in his room and turned on the T.V. turning down the volume so that no one will hear it. He looked at it, and forwarded it until it got to the part that he wanted, he watched as Voltare and the man talked about the poison.
"How is she?"
"Master Voltare, the poison is working perfectly."
"Of couse, look who created it."
Seith smiled and then stood up, running to the bathroom and shut the door behind him, the video continued on.
"Of course."
"Master Voltare, I'm curious as to know if there's any cure for Miss Cecilia at all?"
"Of course there is, if you replace all the blood within her body, then she'll be fine. Time is up, we have to go now."
"Yes master."
Seith flashed the toilet and came back out, watching as they exited the room. He smiled, now he's got some proof that Voltare don't even know about. Pushing the 'eject' button, he bagged the video tape and picked up the airplane ticket on his desk, turning off the lights he walked out of the mansion as well.
[England- Court]
After hours of dicussion in court, Robert and the others seem to have the lead, but that's until the judge came back again. Everyone stood up in the room until he sat down again and everyone followed his lead.
He opened up his file and cleared his throat, then pulled the microphone back in front of him.
"Today, we discussed the case of Mr. Voltare placing a deadly poison into Miss Cecilia Joseph's body. We have did a through medical check up on Miss Cecilia and the result shows that she does have some kind of poison within her, which indicates that they were not lying."
He then closed this file and opened up another one, looking at it, he stood up and looked around. "I now have the conclusion here in my hands. After hours of testifying, we have made the choice that Mr. Voltare is not guilty of...."
"Your honor!" Oliver stood up immediately, the judge looked over at him and waved a hand.
"I know, I know. Your evidences were solid, especially bringing out Miss Cecilia, but the problem is that you don't have any proof that Mr. Voltare actually placed the poison into Miss Cecilia Joseph's body. For all I know, it could have been anyone in the world." The judge said.
Oliver slowly sat down and looked at Cecilia, whom just smiled and looked down. Hiura turned to Robert and he looked back at her as well.
How is this possible? Hiura gave him a look, he frowned and shook his head, not knowing the answer either.
Voltare smirked and leaned back onto his chair, looking smug.
"So... unless you have any proof that Mr Voltare actually placed the poison into Miss Cecilia Joseph's body, then this case is closed." The judge said and prepared to end this case, just at this moment, the door opened and Seith walked in with a video tape raised in hand.
"Wait, your honor, I have a solid evidence." Cecilia and Kai both stood up and looked at him, the whole court room erupted in soft murmurs and gasped.
"Seith!" Voltare said and stood up, eyes large.
Seith walked up to the front, and handed the video tape to a police, the police examined it and looked at the judge, whom nodded his head, the whole room quieted down again. Cecilia glanced at Kai, then looked at Seith, whom just gave her a confident smile.
Soon, a VCR and TV set was rolled into the room, the judge walked down the steps and placed the tape into the VCR himself, turning on the TV, the proof came out loud and clear.
"How is she?" Voltare's voice rang out, and his head appeared as well.
"Master Voltare, the poison is working perfectly."
"Of couse, look who created it."
"Of course."
The judge then stopped the tape at Seith's command, and everyone turned to Voltare, whom just sat there numbly. Oliver smiled at Seith and stood up again.
"Your honor... is that proof enough for you?"
The judge blinked and looked at Voltare, then looked back at Oliver again, and sighed.
Just like that, they successfully got Voltare into jail, and after that, Robert demanded a through research on Voltare and found out all the illegal deeds that he had committed in the past. Seith then took the video tape again, the Blood and Roses told him to give it to Vic, whom is still in Japan, and he will know what to do with it.
[Outside]
Cecilia and Seith stood outside of the court in a garden of some sort, Seith slowly walked over to a bench and sat down slowly, Cecilia looked down at him.
"Seith, thank you." She began softly.
"I know, you already told me." He said with a forced smile, Ceceilia smiled softly as well. Seith took in a deep breath and looked up at her. "The world is so small, I should have guessed the guy that you're in love with is Kai."
Cecilia looked down, and sighed tiredly. "I'm sorry Seith."
Seith just shook his head, and looked at her. She's paler than the last time that he saw her, the poison must really be working, pushing his hand into his pocket, he pulled out something. "Here."
She looked at him, he extended his hand and in his hand, there's a necklace. The necklace is made out of crystal, there's a blue hyacinth made out of sapphire and there's snow filled into the sapphire. Cecilia looked at it surprised, then looked at Seith, whom just stood up in front of her.
"Cecilia... I think this the last thing that I can give you... you're going to go through a lot of pain in the next week and little, the doctors will do everything they can to cure you. I hope this blue hyacinth will keep your life with you forever." Without waiting for her reply, he wrapped his hands around her neck and clipped the two ends of the necklace together and then stepped back.
Cecilia touched the necklace and the sapphire hyacinth, she took in a deep breath and looked up at him.
"Cecilia... promise me that no matter what happens, try your hardest, and come back to us again." He said sincerely, she smiled at him.
"Seith... thank you... and I promise you that I will try my hardest to come back to all of you. Thank you." He smiled back at her as well.
Cecilia reached up and pulled his head down, picking up her head she placed a soft kiss on his forehead. Like a sister, like a mother, then she released his head and looked at him. "Go back to Japan safely."
Seith nodded, and Cecilia nodded as well. Taking one look at him, she turned and walked towards the parking lot of the court, where Kai is waiting for her. Seith looked at her back for a minute, before turning as well, going in a different direction than her.
He blinked and blinked, his eyes are so sore. Closing his eyes, the tears that he had been hodling back so long finally rolled down.
There's no way for them to be together in this lifetime, but he will definitely wait for the next lifetime. In the next lifetime, he will find her before Kai does, and he will make her happy.....
