Sofya Romstun smirked faintly as she cradled her newborn son in her arms. “Ordering a foreigner to be arrested for treason? Nice one, Oren.”

"Damn, I overslept the trial now I'm to be killed on sight? What a world..." Argus Romstun chuckled and turned to the other side, continuing to snooze this little problem away.

"It is always a shame to see how stupid people can be." Manfred would say shaking his head "How far the Romstuns have fallen, slobbering the toes of Haense."

A certain Princess looked down solemnly upon the missive, her lips tight in a frown. 

 

"By and by, the days go on. Justice isn't as sweet as I had thought it to be."

Joseph d'Azor shook his head reading the missive. "I wish he had just shown up for the trial..." He tucked the missive away thinking back to his friend Helton, he could not help but be slightly happy at the outcome, justice had been served, hadn't it?
