I'm gonna be evil again and let you read the trial but in Bumblebee's POV ;D

And I hope all your questions will be answered =)

The guard tower (Boreas POV)

It's a shame that Aria had to go so soon but it was great while it lasted. Now I'm on my way home but first I have to get my bag. I walk up the stairs and greet everyone I see. One of the guards walks up to me and leans on my locker. "Boreas, where are you going." I try to get through and get my bag but he is blocking me.

"I'm going home."

"You can't", he says and hands over a mop. "You are the youngest here and I order you to mop the floor." He can't be serious! My time is over I'm not on duty. But it's no use to argue so I take the mop and begin to walk outside to the well. But before I'm out I think that I see him open my locker, but that can't be right. Once I'm out elite guards walk up to me with...handcuffs? What's happening?

They grab me and put the handcuffs on my hands. "You are under arrest." They push me inside the palace and I demand to know what I'm suspected for. They say that I shouldn't play stupid and keep pushing me toward the courtroom.

People in the halls stares at me when they see me coming. They have always seen me happy but now they see me as a criminal. And I don't even know what's happening, I feel so confused and humiliated! I try to get out of their hard grip when we are inside the courtroom. "Let go of me!" I practically shout.

Every senator and advisers I have known have their eyes glued onto me. I look around the room and I see Mikolas, Orpheus, Eileen...and Aria. She must think so badly of me right now. I lower my head in shame as her eyes meet mine. I slowly walk to the middle of the room and I hear that everybody stands up.

The trial has begun.

I look up and see that Menelaus is the one who stands behind the podium. His eyes are filled with mockery. I bet he is the one behind this. "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 for yourself? Guilty or not guilty?" I open my mouth and are about to tell him that I'm not guilty. But he interrupts me. "Remember that your punishment can increase if you choose to lie."

It doesn't matter. if I'm proven guilty I will get the death sentence anyway. The only difference is how I'm going to die. But that won't happen because I haven't planned to kill anyone. "Not guilty sir", I respond with hatred in my voice.

Menelaus commands his adviser to come and present the "evidence". He shows a picture of a flower to everyone and starts reading a scroll out loud. He says that they have information that I stole a poisonous plant from Rachal and that the flower causes immediate death to whoever drinks or eats it. His adviser also says that I spied on Menelaus and Orpheus this morning. Plus that I have done that for quite some time.

"I'm innocent! I would never want to harm anyone!" I exclaim in despair. He tells me to be silent and Mikolas later tries to convince the senators that I'm a good person and never would do anything like this. Orpheus stands up and wants everybody to calm down. He will see if I have any knowledge about the flower and if I even have the flower in the first place.

I thought they would question me, but the elite guards are going to search my uncle's house and my bag. I get kind of relived, now they will see that I'm innocent. After a long wait, the guards come back and they have...

the flower with them.

I'm so screwed. I have walked into a trap, a really well thought out trap. The guards say that they found the flower in my bag as well as a scroll about the flower itself. I'm terrified when I look back up at Menelaus again. He takes a brief look around the room and starts speaking.

"Boreas you have lied to me, this court and the emperor. You have been proven guilty that you planned to commit this dreadful crime!" I look at Aria with saddened eyes and say goodbye probably for the last time. "Justice has been served and the punishment of your crime will be death."

It feels like I want to scream, and tell everyone that he is the one who wants Orpheus dead not me! But it's no use.

I am going to die...

The Dungeon

"You have another visitors", says the guard outside my cell as I finish the drink I got. After the trail, I was brought down here and many came to visit me. My friends came first and they swore that they would get me outta here even if it would take them all night. Then it was my uncle and he was furious at the senators that they made such a stupid decision.

The most painful visit was from Aria. We didn't even say anything, the silence spoke louder than words. We held each other for a long time, trying to ease the pain. There were no tears, no anger, just sadness. But eventually, she had to go and I was alone.

I try to find a comfortable position but it's not easy when your hands are cuffed behind your back. The chain is attached to the wall, to keep the people safe if they choose to talk with me. Definitely not comfortable but it is a good thing too because Menelaus walks into my cell and I just want to punch him.

"Why are you here?", I hiss. "To mock me or to gloat about your victory? You demon!" Menelaus tells the guards to leave us and he bends down to my level.

"I must admit that you proved to be a far more dangerous opponent than I thought. I underestimated you."

He draws his sword and moves the sharp edge to my throat. "A mistake, I do not intend to make again!" Then just get it over with. But I need to know one thing first.

"Before I die tomorrow I must know how you did this?"

Menelaus starts by telling me that during the conversation I had with Orpheus, his spy stole the flower and made the guards put it in my bag. It was the same for the scroll. "I still don't understand why you are doing this and why are you telling me?" Surely he can't be so stupid that he is going to tell me his evil plan. I can demand a re-trial because of this.

"You have no idea how it feels to be treated like dirt. I was born in the colonies before I meet Orpheus. Even though slavery wasn't allowed anymore, people in the colonies were abused because we where poor. I was a miner and became a gladiator later in life. I meet Orpheus and we both didn't like how people were treated. But as a result of our debates, Orpheus was the one to be voted as the leader. I have planned my revenge for years climbing my way to power!"

I Look at him and starts to cough when my throat starts to feel weird. "Why are you telling me this?" I ask again. He says it won't matter and takes up my cup. He turns it upside down and starts to explain that the drink I drank was originally made to cure a sore throat. But it softens up the throat so badly that it removes your ability to speak.

"Because the only thing that could be worst than not knowing your enemy's plan, is knowing it and never be able to tell anyone." My cough becomes more severe and I move my hands to my aching throat.

"If you somehow make it out alive, which I doubt. You may never regain your voice again." It hurts so much that I wriggle on the cold prison floor. I scream out of pain but no noise comes out from my mouth.

Menelaus smirks and locks the door. His steps becoming more and more distant as I continue to wriggle out of pain.
