The Trial 2
"Silence!" The supreme elder of the Edwardstone family roared as he looked toward that old local expert, who had not been given the right to speak.
Minos returned to his seat and said. "The trial cannot be about the victims of the Saints Killing Sect. That is a trial about a sect master's loyalty to the emperor and His Majesty's impositions."
"I did not disregard His Majesty's words in my act. It was merely a fluke of fate, created by the very members of the Saints Killing Sect, something that, yes, favored me. But I did not plan or intend for this to happen at any time."
"I could have gone against the enemy headquarters, but I didn't do that because I knew the consequences." He said, looking for the first time at those judging him. "Thus, I end my defense. I trust the imperial family will decree a fair and favorable verdict for me."
