Punishment Dropped

The sun had come out from the eastern horizon, marking the beginning of a cool day in the Yan Empire. Birds chirping, cock crowing welcome the residents who began to activity. The streets, the market, the center of the capital are back to normal as before. Large buildings were fortified and beautified after being destroyed by the war 3 days ago.

The throne of the Emperor will soon be given to the first Prince, Yan Qianlong replacing Empress Xiang. The reign under the leadership of the Qianlong prince was considered to be the most viable even though the descendant for the Emperor's crown was actually Princess Yi. After a joint discussion and the decision of the new Prime Minister, Xuantong. Finally everyone agreed that the first Prince Qianlong would be the successor. Matrilineal Prince's side rose in rank and occupied the second residence under Empress Xiang who was still ruling.

A good news for the Empire because they will enter new times after dark times full of war blood. The newly assigned members of the Imperial cabinet were intensively working on and making many new proposals in order to rebuild especially the territory of the capital of the Yan Empire. The defense of the empire would increase rapidly, education would be improved, public services would be improved and the leaders of the useless branches eliminated and others. Most importantly try as hard as possible to resolve the conflict with the unfinished Dong Empire.

Good for them

Now Ishikawa Kazuki, a 20-year-old who has defeated the main enemy in battle, is lying in a coma on a bed that ties chains on his body. The place is in a special room built inside the shelter. Because Yan's security forces thought this was the only place that had not been penetrated by anything to date. They think the fugitives or criminals whoever they are holding with enhanced security now will not be able to get away.

Kazuki's been in a coma since the war ended. The war ended marked by the loss of Prime Minister Longwei, the loss of captured enemy leader Lordeus. And the sudden disappearance of the water monster left in the center of the capital.

Kazuki was found unconscious by Prince Ming Hao and Prince Yaoshan on their way following Empress Xiang's entourage. The two princes also found Princess Fangyin's younger brother in a weakened state near the area.

Once taken to the Empire to be treated it turns out the Princes only found out apparently the young man they brought was the father's killer. They were so enraged and asked the court to sentence Kazuki to death. Of course, being supported by the people of the court sentenced Kazuki to death. But the court asked that the perpetrator be held for a while until he was conscious of the coma to be executed in a conscious state. People strongly agree.

Kazuki's friends, Qixuan, Hao Jin, Jing's caretaker and the other academy teachers, filed for a hard delay. However the defendant is still in a coma and the evidence the court has is indirect evidence that requires the testimony of the defendant's alibi. And witnesses who are thought to be near the scene of the crime only heard a voice and a shadow at the time of the incident.

The indirect evidence that the Imperial family had was, a red scarf belonging to Kazuki. And the death message carved by the Emperor on the ground using a finger that reads ⁇ (new). Dew makes the moisture of the soil stay awake so that in the morning the writing is still there. The message of his death is difficult to understand, but it was deliberately made so that the perpetrator would not delete it.

But fateful today Kazuki has come to his senses from the coma. It does not sound like good news because then the delay of the trial will stop immediately and the trial will continue. Kazuki was carried with his hands chained with special handcuffs on the back, on his neck was mounted an explosive necklace which if hit something his necklace would instantly explode as a guarantee Kazuki would not run away. His clothes were thin white with long black pants like other prisoners.

All of them sat in their respective places, some community leaders were welcome to enter to watch the trial. Kazuki was on the podium facing the supreme judges. Had been given some trap and unreasonable questions, but Kazuki was able to answer everything calmly because he was not the culprit. Even so the atmosphere in the conference was tense, plus the interior of the building was bright red like adrenaline in it.

"Well, this one question may sound subjective to the audience, but I want the defendant's objective answer, Ishikawa Kazuki," he took a slow breath, "Why the defendant is so confident the defendant is not the culprit, he said, while the evidence says otherwise...?"

"Because I don't have a motive." Everyone immediately argued with each other hearing that. Because.., it should be true.

"According to the experts the death message of the late His Majesty Emperor Gaozo, inscribed new, could refer to a new person. In this context, a scarf was found that allegedly belonged to the accused, Ishikawa Kazuki. All evidence points to the accused. There was a rebuttal" Kazuki was speechless unable to refute, nor did he know why his stolen scarf was on the scene. After he stole it, someone else stole it.

In addition to answering strange and unique questions, the judge also told Kazuki to bring in his alibi witness when the incident occurred. But at that time Kazuki was sleeping alone in the Han residence because the Prime Minister and his wife were out of the area, there were no alibi witnesses.

The evidence is quite reasonable according to experts, the Judge sentenced Kazuki to death and will be executed later tonight, according to the time of the Emperor's death, his intention is for Kazuki to admit his actions.

Kazuki was unable to do much, the Immortal Dragon sword was confiscated, even trying to be turned off by the Empire's alchemists. That was why Agon's spiritual air was weakened, after all the two of them were fighting over the Yin key.

Kazuki sat quietly inside his cell staring at the floor. "What's really going on. Why did I get to faint before hitting the black creature..," he murmured softly. There is no fear of being put to death. Kazuki instead thought about what caused him to faint and his hungry stomach-kruyukk. Ah, he forgot to have a dimensional ring.

"Where's my ring?" lirih Kazuki was embarrassed to see that his hands were clean from everything.

"Jeez two silversku~," grumbled.

"Ah, you were the girl yesterday. Who is always near the battle!" kazuki said pointing at the veiled girl in front of his cell who suddenly came looking at him flat. It was Princess Fangyin wearing an ash hanfu with a hint of an elegant white complexion coming alone to the cell.

"Thank you for your help The chosen one, I am not completely satisfied with the outcome of the trial which handed down the sentence without making any appeal" said the Princess without looking into Kazuki's eyes who noticed her, "You look like Princess Empress Xiang. Ah, you are him." The Princess's ashes were slightly widened, 'She just noticed?' the Princess wants to laugh.

'So all this time she just thought of me as an ordinary girl.'

"What's wrong, you're here just to thank me?" kazuki's asking acting sick of facing the wall.

"Do you want freedom?" ask the Princess. Kazuki's brows furrowed, 'I was designated as the murderer of his father and he asked that?'

"Breakfast is a good breakfast, but a bad dinner. Don't tell me if this is just hope, because I've been pretty bad." Princess Fangyin only looked flat.

"I already know the new meaning of the Emperor's death message," the Princess said, having Kazuki's full attention taken by surprise, "New does mean new people, but not you in question. The point is I gave you an offer" Kazuki ran holding the door with an iron-tested hole, his face beaming.

Brang

"Yes I want to, I'm starving here. So please..," Kazuki's slur stopped, "Sstt, I have a plan."
