The palace's conference room was very crowded, not as usual. Because today will be a trial. It's not really the trial that got people interested. Trials have been conducted many times, but never this many. One reason is clear, because the king who filed the case so that the residents of Fantasy Land are very interested.
Adrian sat in his seat of power, accompanied by the judge and other officials, waiting for the trial to begin. Jian was seated in the middle of the room.
Witnesses took turns giving statements. Most of them were incriminating to Jian. They say that the perpetrator looks like a woman and his traits are like Jian.
Master Jian came forward to speak. "I beg your majesty not to be hasty just because of the witness statement, I believe my disciple is innocent."
"The head of the western faction was too defensive of his own disciples, it was obvious that your disciples were guilty" the judge sitting beside Adrian spoke.
"The head of the western faction, we have provided evidence and also witnesses here, do you have any evidence and witnesses that claim your disciple is innocent?" Adrian said.
"Of course I do not receive evidence from people closest to him, because it could be engineered" continued Adrian again.
His teacher fell silent, in his heart the teacher cursed the stupidity of his student. He knows all the evidence must have been engineered. Only one person can do that, Adrian himself. Because only he was really close to Jian.
No one realized that teacher Jian had disappeared from the courtroom. So was Haru who could only stare at Jian worriedly. Although he had composed words to defend Jian, he was not brave enough to fight his brother.
Jian only resignedly listened to the judge's decision. 'Is the fate of my life always like this, wherever I am ' . Thought in the heart.

The gate of the silver river was opened, jian was carried by two bodyguards.
"It's not too late to regret your decision" Adrian told Jian.
"Just do what you want" Jian replied.
"The bodyguards threw him into the silver river" Adrian ordered the guards to carry Jian.
That person was Haru, he sneaked in to save Jian. Without realizing it, a girl also came out from behind the rocks.
"Why are you here" they said simultaneously.
Haru was very surprised because Scarlet was also hiding there just like him. What is he doing here?, Haru thought.
"I'm here to save Jian, what are you doing here?" haru asked after recovering from his shock.
"Sama" Scarlet replied briefly.
"You also want to save Jian, are you familiar with him?"
"I only met him once, it seems he's a good person. So I want to help her" Scarlet replied calmly.
"You helped a man who was accused of being a criminal when he met once?" ask Haru astonishment.
"Of course I believe he's innocent, my gut has never been wrong all this time. After all I don't need a reason to help others."
"As far as you are. But since we have the same goal let's go down this river"
They also went down the river. Along the way they did not say much and only watched the silver river closely.
After they disappeared Adrian reappeared at that place. He doesn't seem to be really leaving. A silver light shot out from his palm. The light was directed towards the silver river. I know you're gonna be okay, but I'm still worried. This chest hurts, I'm more and more like him. Slowly muttered.
