2 Punishment

"Worst case scenario is death ha... fufufu that's a new experience."

"Egh... silence I'm sick of it, can't you just feel a tiny bit of sympathy for other around you bastard, is this a joke to you, are we a joke to you, agh... I can't take this anymore, please let's just get this over with, I have waited three years for this day to come, finally, I can get justice for my daughter."

Said my father in a rather depressing tone full of anger for the person that is before him, which is me.

"I can't with you anymore, the family head and elders from the very top have decided your punishment, Martas cuff him and bring him to the office."

"Right away master Vorden."

With those words said I watch as Martas came before me with a hand-cuff, I handed both my hands with a smile and the butler had a slightly disturbed look on his face.

But he didn't let that stop him, Martas then came close to me as I watch him cuff me from behind, as of now both hands are behind my back.

But it didn't end there as my father said.

"Martas use the creams and the needle I'm not taking any chances, he might look harmless and weak, but that child is a monster in a humanoid form, physically he is weak but he is the type that plays mind games, as long as you don't look in his eyes or pay heed to his words then you should be alright."

"We're using needles again, hahaha how boring, really father if you're going to torture somebody uses a more crea...

"Shut up!!!"

"I don't want to hear it."

"Hmmm, what a party killer."

"Just get it over with Martas."

With those words said Martas took a weird cream, and place it under my blindfold as he rub it's under my eyes instantly I began to feel a burning sensation, and then heaviness, I feel like my entire eyelids were numb, I couldn't open them, what did they put in my eyes I wonder.

And finally, I felt a slight prick behind my neck as I curdle in pain.

"Agh... ok now that one hurt a little, what the hell did you put in me?"

I kindly ask with curiosity, but all I got was scoff with a half-ass answer.

"Just a suppressant, and also Martas there some chains over their, suppress his right to move as well, from there were going to meet the elder Cill."

From there Martas then began to chain my foot, as he place the chain on my neck as well, with the that said I was been pulled like I was some dog.

We began walking the hallway, for a while but I must say this is the first time I had been out of this place for years.

But really and truly I wasn't the one that killed my elder sister, she died that night by my cousin, and the only reason, I was blamed for this was because of an envious cousin of mine, let's just say I also had a childhood friend that he like, honestly my thoughts on her would be that she is boring, and plain existence she fails as even mere entertainment for me.

Her emotions never did excite me in the least, at least I got a good laugh from it nevertheless.

But we suddenly made a stop in front of the door, I watch as my father knocked on it, and that was when I heard an elderly voice of a woman.

"Come in."

With those words said, I look at my father as he opens the door, what followed was Martas pushing me to the ground at the center of the room which caused me to hit my head really hard.

"What a rough treatment for a guess."

"Shut up murder, you're before the elder of the Vorden family."

Stated the voice of an all too familiar woman, I look to my left and I saw, a clear skin woman dressed in a fancy blue dress.

This woman was Selena Vorden, my foster mother, we never had the greatest relationship, if anything my father at least love me more than this boring bitch.

But her anger entertains me nonetheless, if ever so slightly, but she was soon quite for talking out of turn, as the elder gave her a serious look that made her flinch back into place.

I then saw my father come in front of me as he said to the elder.

"Honorable Fifth Vorden of the esteem Vorden family, today I have brought my former son, Nexios Vorden to be trial and punish for the murder of my eldest daughter, Mimiko Carillon Vorden, as you have said the evidence is in."

The elder then look at me, as she said with a neutral tone.

"Is this the child with the "Archane eyes of fear" if so please remove his blindfold."

"What!"

Shouted everybody at the same time, and if you look around then you would see my mother and two younger twin sister, my uncle, and also my cousin that frame me, honestly I have it out for this guy, pray he does not slip, although I want to enjoy it if I ever get a chance to.

Of course being the asshole that he is, even more so than me, he was the first to speak.

"No you can't do that, you know what those eyes can do if you look at them please reconsidered honorable elder."

"Erwin Vorden, from the sixth branch family right, although I appreciate your concerns for the people here I will not tolerate such disrespect in this office, next time do not distract me when I'm speaking, now then Martas please remove the blindfold and forceful open his eyes, I just want to see it to make sure that he is an Archane eyes user.

Archane eye users are people who were born with magical eyes, but the thing is only descended from celestial spirit can have them, not only are they indestructible they can only be used by a descendant of the spirits of course even compatibility has to be taken into great consideration.

Before they can even remove it, and transplant it to a compatible user, these guys won't take my eyes I'm sure of it, the last time someone did that, their heads exploded and it instantly came back to me.

It is as if my eyes know who its master truly is, from there Martas then proceeds to remove my blindfold and use his fingers to forcefully open my eyes, instantly the room temperature dropped from zero as everybody began to hear voices of madness whisper into their ears.

I watch as the fifth Vorden Cill, was looking at me with a horrid look, she stared deep into my purple eyes that swirl like a black hole that leads to a never-ending Abyss that is unforgiving to all.

Her hands were trembling, automatically she snap her fingers, and upon doing that Martas place the blindfold back on me.

Everybody in the room struggled to breathe or stand up properly, I watch as my stepmother was tearing up and scratching her face as she began to whisper words of madness that makes no sense whatsoever.

my two twin sisters tried to calm her down but it wasn't helping much.

And she wasn't even the one that, looked directly into them, she just grazed with my blind spot, while the other who was out of my sight completely felt a lingering death over them, it was like a warning.

And even though my eyes were sealed shut, I can still see when they are close, as long as I don't close them to sleep.

So even with this on, I can see perfectly fine, although I really and truly don't know why they behave like this, the last time I check they didn't say this was an Archane eye, but now they are saying it is an Archane eye.

The elder breath in slowly as she regains her calm composer although a little shocked due to the level of madness that was invading her mind, only if it was only ten seconds she look directly at it.

"Without a doubt, it is an Archane eye, a new or maybe even lost type, I have never seen one that invokes such fear, normally for someone to possess an Archane eye they either have to be contracted to the celestial spirit, have it surgically transplant if they are compatible, or one must be a direct descendant of Celestial spirit."

"You are most likely the latter boy."

"As you should know former son of the Vorden family, one of your calibers would be wanted by many and all, but one thing is for sure those loved by the spirits much less those who are from their lineage are the ones that should be feared, that why for the sake and the future of the Vorden family I have made my decision."

At those words, everybody tensed up, some wanted justice for their daughter, others wanted me dead out of envy and reassurance, meanwhile, they are those who are conflicted but still want justice.

And as for myself, I began to smell a sweet and bitter scent, one I'm so used to as of lately.

This was the smell of disappointment coming from the elder, the smell of grief and hope from the father, the smell of pity and disgust from my uncle, the smell of happiness from the twins, and finally the smell of envy and rage from my cousin.

"What a fun day."

I whispered to myself, meanwhile I look towards the elder, who took up a paper as she said.

"After briefly investigating the case of Mimiko Vorden's death for three years, the oldest daughter of Elijah and Selena Vorden, an elder sister of Mia and Mio Vorden, and also the former eldest adoptive son of Elijah and Selena Vorden, we have concluded that no physical evidence led to him being the murder, hence fort as of this day all five elders of the Vorden family find Nexios innocent and should be free immediately from imprisonment."

At those words, everyone snaps out of their delusional state, as Erwin was the first to speak up.

"Bullshit he the murder, I won't stand for such injus...

But before Erwin could even finish saying what he wanted to say he was stoned in the head with a giant stapler, blood dropped down from his busted scalp as he looked toward to person who throws it with a shocked expression as he said.

"You... you hit me."

"That right next time I will staple your mouth together if you don't shut up this is your last warning."

Stated the fifth Vorden Cill who had a serious look on her face.

"But why grandmother, it's evident that Nexios kill my daughter his fingerprints were all over the knife."

"Elijah I'm very disappointed your son is left-handed and not right-handed, and there was also other evidence of multiple people being there that day, there was even a lousy cover-up."

"What!"

Stated Elijah in pure shock as the sudden revelation of the news shock him into a great ordeal and fell to the ground.

"Then Nexios isn't the murderer."

"Correct."

She stated back.

I look at this as a heavy scent of regret and despair travels through my nose I wasn't the murders I had no reason to kill such a hilarious woman.

Of course, with me being the asshole I am, I blurted out as followed.

"And the winner of the lousiest father of the decade goes too, Elijah, woohoo!!! no shit Sherlock I wasn't the murderer but yet you put me through this much predicament these last three years, honestly, I am the son and I think your a massive disappointment."

"Silence Nexios, I'm not finished with the verdict."

"Yess mmmm, although I like you, that personality and seriousness hide a rather fuck up emotion, let see agh... a nihilistic perfectionist now that's a first, your true nature is rather fucked up, but you smart, big brain when I see people like you I still have hope for this world, hahah."

"I said silence, I shall not tolerate disrespect."

"What I'm just playing."

"Child of mischief and deceitfulness I won't speak again."

"Aight, aight, cooldown I'm just playing."

With those words said she began to finish reading her paper as it said.

"However, though you were still there when it happen, you watch your sister die and did nothing but laugh, and giggle, it is obvious you dont know what remorse or love is, although what saves you is the fact that you're mentally sick according to your doctors, the fact sill stand, you did nothing when your sister was attacked, even now that smile on your face is still the same smile you had plastered on three ago, proof of your lack of sympathy and remorse for those around you, so it has been decided by all five elders that you are to be banished and disowned by this family."

"Sounds fair enough I guess, although I demand to be compensated for being imprisoned for three years despite the fact I did nothing now tell me grandma how will you pay me, it would be a tragedy if this reaches the media."
