I'm going to make this chapter short.

NOTE: I don't own any of these characters except the Narrator of this story.

The Crime

They have come for him. The flash revealed a lot to the people of the world. Hidden secrets that were kept for a lifetime are out and it caused a large change to the people. A big man wearing fancy clothes associated with five knights arrived at Corona. The kingdom guards asked the man, "What's your business here, sir?"

"I'm here to arrest this thief!" He showed him the poster of Eugene. The guards recognized the man. Immediately, they called the king.

"Explain your reason, traveler." The King of Corona asked.

"We have come to arrest this criminal! Eugene Fitzherbert, also known as Flynn Rider!"

The king said, "We have pardoned all of his past crimes. This man saved my daughter."

The man exclaimed. "His crime is murder! He murdered children!"

The king did not respond. He was shocked to hear it. "Children?" He cannot believe it. His daughter was saved by a child murderer. But he's not dumb to believe it so easily. He needs evidence. "Where's your proof?"

"Bring me this man and I will show you proof!" He ordered his five knights to enter the castle.

The king's men stopped them. "I will not let you walked in here without my permission."

"Are you helping a mass murderer? You want to stop me for bringing justice for this children? 112 children lost their lives because of that man!"

The king then yelled, "Call him. Call him!" The captain of the guard ran back to the castle to fetch Eugene.

Minutes later, the guards have brought Eugene alongside Rapunzel and Queen Aureole. He saw the large fancy man standing beside the king, his father-in-law. "Is there a problem?"

"What sorcery is this?" The fat man cannot believe his eyes when he saw Eugene. "He... he looked the same! Almost the same. His nose is a bit different."

Eugene sighed. They must have referred it to the wanted poster they found. "They just don't get my nose right."

The king then asked him. "Is it true, Eugene?"

"About what, your Highness?"

"You murdered children."

"What?" Eugene was surprised as well. He has never killed anyone is his life except for Mother Gothel. He cut off Gothel's source of life which leads to her death. "I didn't do anything! I'm just a thief, okay? I'm not a murderer!"

Rapunzel defended him. "He's not a murderer!"

"Fritz." One of the five knights said.

"Excuse me?"

"Remember him? How about Magda? Meinard? Gertrud? Evert? Claudia and Claus? Gisa? Helga? Ivonne? Elise? My little sister Olga? Remember them, you bastard!" That knight yelled at Eugene. He pulled out his sword to the man. "Why can't we execute him right here right now?"

The King of Corona told the large man to calm his men down. "Please! There's no need of violence here. If you wanted him..."

"But father..." Rapunzel begged her father not to send Eugene away. "They will execute him."

"If he's really guilty for murder, then I will pay any amount you like just don't execute him."

"Where's the justice in that?" Another knight asked the king. "What kind of a king who tries to save this worthless piece of trash? We want him dead!"

"Please! Don't let them take him!" Rapunzel begged her father.

Then Queen Aureole stepped in and suggest to start an investigation. She got over her brother's death. It's time to help the people who helped her. "I proposed a thorough investigation." She said. "If we got a clear evidence, this will prove he's innocent... or not."

Oh, man. this is going to take long. My murderer has my gem and he's on the loose spread all the secrets to the world. Some secrets are worst and it should be kept hidden forever.

Queen Aureole asked the large man. "Where's the scene of the crime?"

"Near our hometown." One of the five knights spoke. "Weser River. Hamelin."
