I have a long chapter for you guys (at least long for me xD) And some shit is going to go down!

when you see text looking like this= It's a flashback of previous events

And text that looks like this= is whats happening now

Dining Room (Arias POV)

I open the door and step inside. My father sits on the side of the long table and I go to the place in front of him. But the table has two more places and neither Eileen or Orpheus is going to eat dinner with us. "Who are joining us for dinner father", I ask. He looks surprised at me, I think he didn't expect me to speak to him.

"Well, I know neither you or I am so fond of our new visitors." That is an understatement. "But I think a conversation during dinner may change that." Good plan father lets sit down and talk to the person who wants to be emperor and take your job. Why not invite his unpleasant son when you're at it. The door suddenly opens and they walk in...great. So I gave up my time with Boreas for this!?

"Good evening Captain", greets Menelaus and shows back his purple robe. Kyros bows and smirks a "charming" smile before he sits down beside me. I move my chair a little bit to the left when he moves his eyes up and down my body. I take hold of the knife and fork and start eating the food on my plate.

Senator Menelaus and my father chats about strategy, battles they fought, and Menelaus even talked about how many he had killed. He sounds proud when he talks about it, at least my father shows some regrets about it. "Sir, you need to come immediately!" An elite guard stands in the door opening, he looks worried.

"What is it, soldier?" The guard collects himself. Whatever he has to say it must be big. "We suspect that someone has a plot to murder our emperor." Finally, they found evidence! I turn my head to look at Menelaus, I knew he was going to be arrested eventually. "Who is the accused?" my father demands to know.

"One of our own."

Court Room/Meeting room (Arias POV)

My father pushes me away from the courtroom. "Aria please I don't want you to be present." I look down as a familiar memory repeats in my head.

I struggle to get into the Meeting room, guards are blocking my way and my father goes up to me. "Aria please I don't want you to be present."

"I don't care, I must be there with him!" I shout furious. Mikolas looks at me conflicted and says that he knows that he's my friend and that's why he doesn't want me there. "Father you don't understand, I love him..." He looks surprised and sad at the same time and answer.

"I won't let anything happen to him."

I won't let anything happen to him...

But he gives up and I walk as fast as I can inside. I take a seat beside my father and Orpheus. Eileen is also there and she looks as concerned as I am. It's like my nightmare has become true when I see Boreas pushed into the room by rough hands. He has handcuffs on him and I see that he feels both confused and humiliated.

"Let go of me!"

"Let go of me!"

This is exactly what happened too Calchas...it just can't happen with Boreas too. You only get a few chances to achieve happiness. Calchas was accused of kidnapping but Boreas is accused of treason. That is a much more serious charge. His eyes meet mine and he bows his head in shame.

Boreas walks slowly to the middle of the room and all the senators and Orpheus stand up. I follow the others lead but secretly wish I was down there with Boreas to comfort him. Menelaus is the one to walk toward the podium, he stands there with his head held high and with a look of mockery. His voice echoes through the cold stone room. "Boreas Barrius, you are accused of treason against our emperor and our empire. Before we go further into this charge what do you have to say? Guilty or not guilty?"

Before he has a chance to speak remind Menelaus that lying to the court can give you an even a greater punishment.

"Not guilty sir." Says Boreas now with a little hatred in his voice.

"what do you have to say for yourself Calchas Jackobi. Are you or are you not guilty of kidnapping the captain's daughter?" Calchas doesn't say anything for a while but answers. "Not guilty."

Menelaus commands his adviser to come and present the evidence. Socrates shows everybody a picture of a flower and takes hold of a scroll and starts reading out loud. "We have information that this young man has stolen a poisonous flower from Rachal the palace doctor. This plant causes immediate death to whoever drinks or eats it." It's quiet and it feels like you can drop a quill and it will be heard.

He continues. "My master has said that he felt that this man was watching him and emperor Orpheus this morning. And that he spied on him for a long time." I see Boreas losing his mind and I just want to scream that he's lying and is the one who wants to kill Orpheus. "I'm innocent! I would never want to harm anyone", exclaims Boreas in despair.

"Silence!", shouts the adviser. I look around and beg my father to say something. He stands up and tries to convince that Boreas is a good person and that he rarely disobeys orders. Then to my surprise Orpheus stands up and wants everybody to calm down.

"Before we are to make a decision let me see if he has the flower and if he knows of the flower's abilities." Elite guards rush to the guard tower where Boreas keeps his things and some guards were sent away to look at his uncle's house. Then after a long wait, they come back.

"My lord, we found the flower in Boreas bag", says the first guard. "And this scroll about plants and flowers that have unusual abilities." I can't believe it, he will be punished for a crime he didn't even commit. Menelaus looks down on Boreas again and takes a brief look around the room.

"Boreas, you have lied to me, this court and the emperor! You have been proven guilty that you planned to commit this dreadful crime." Boreas looks at me with saddened eyes and I read on his lips. "Goodbye Aria."

"Justice has been served and the punishment of your crime will be death..." That last word hit me like a rock and It feels like I'm going to faint. I will lose my one true love.

...again
