Edict

"Rigel Maverick Ginehart, you are to surrender and be willingly investigated for the crime of deceiving the king and for your attempt to overthrow the throne. The Ginehart Duchy will also be under scrutiny while you are being investigated. Any resistance will be seen as an act of rebellion against the king."

Onyx closed the piece of paper and looked down at the kneeling person before him. "What do you have to say?"

Cygnus stayed silent for a while before he answered the man. "If that's the case, then, you don't have the right to look down on me."

"What did you say?" Onyx became furious because of the man's words.

Cygnus stood up from kneeling without accepting the edict. He even had the time to pat the dust that was on his pants before he fixed his sleeves. He then looked at the line of soldiers who were there to capture him. It was truly amusing that it made him smile.
