Accusation
"You might have seen me side by side with Viola, I dare to not say otherwise. Why would I, after all, as she is a dear friend to me. It was also me who helped her with her problems and who was there to listen. I put my time into helping her, and she repayed me with love and respect. Why would I waste my time helping someone to kidnap or even kill her afterwards? Why would I hurt someone so pure? Her soul was made out of diamonds, innocent and lovely, but in a great pain. The gods love her as much as I do, they favor her indeed, and I serve them with all my heart, just like I serve my queen. So, I ask again - why would I be accused of doing such terrible thing to a pure soul favored by those whom I serve?"
After my rather short speech, the hall started being noisy. People were talking to each other, telling their opinions to others, and screaming. Screaming that I am a liar.
This city, or even this whole country was indeed cursed and gods didn't care about it at all for its people are of evil hearts. I tried to change it. And I was nearly successful. Gods favored me ever since, of course they did, that's why they gave me a lovely fate, that's why they let me serve the queen. But this isn't supposed to happen! I am here to help. May the gods forgive these people, for they do not know what they're doing.
After few minutes that felt like eternity to me, the judge finally silenced everyone who was present.
"Silence, people! It is our queen's opinion that matters the most. Let's hear what her majesty says."
The crowd got silent as the queen, Rosaria, came into the hall and stood in front of me, looking into my eyes with great pain.
She did not want to believe that it was actually me, yet there was something that got stuck in her mind, repeating it was her, it was her, it was her, it was her over and over again. Her head was so full of it, even I could almost hear it.
She sighed and turned to the crowd.
"I believe Mythia is.. guilty."
Her words shocked me, but the crowd seemed to expect as much.
"I'm guilty! Why would you say so?" I said as I slowly started crying.
"Well. It is you, Mythia, who spent most of your time around our princess. Perhaps you were jealous of her beauty and wanted to be the only beautiful lady close to the crown. Perhaps you had other reasons. However, even the saint ones can suffer from jealousy. With those words being said, this court is no longer. It's finished. You will go to jail and tomorrow, we will behead you."
Her words made no sense to me, but all my thoughts and words that needed to be said got stuck in my throat and didn't want to get out. I was choking in them.
This is not fair! I love Violet, she's like my sister! I'd never.. oh, your majesty, why.. why did you do this to me..
But, nothing but people scraming "JUSTICE!!!" could be heard, as my mouth was locked and I seemed to lost the key to open it.
She nodded at two big men - or mountains of pure muscles, rather - so they got out of their chairs and walked towards me, grabbing my arms and taking me to jail. And I was still unable to speak.
