Alpha King of Water

SECOND MOTION

HALI’S POV

“A traitor!”

“A murderer!”

Everyone was shouting at me while I was ramping on the red carpet of the Court Room. The manacle was fusing my hands at the back. Pyro and Zephyrus, my father and brothers, were seated on their respective thrones. Pyro was first, followed by Zephyrus, and then my father.

“Behead the Alpha King of Water!”

I looked around with sarcasm on my face. “Behead without even a trial? Hell, if Raiden woke up, you’re all gonna die.” I whispered, saying it to myself.

Pyro seemed to be bothered by the shouts of people. The irritation was on his face. Everything made him bore, sleeping was an exemption.

I went to the center chair where the accused should be positioned. The guard finally removed my manacle. It pained my wrists, especially I had no energy, I usually got that from the hole I buried my cock.

“All of you is in this hall to trial the Alpha King of Water that accused of slashing his brother with the knife with poison, The Alpha King of Lightning. Whatever is the decision of the Ministers will always be acceptable to the Alpha Kings and Higher Kings. May the decision is fair and the justice will not be masked.” The Spoken Man had finally opened the trial discussion.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I looked around and saw nothing. They were all wanted us to drag down therefore the Elemental Kingdom would be a big chaos. The Alpha Kings loathed each other for rivalry of the throne. The truth was, I wanted to be the Higher King, but in a real battle, by combat with the Alpha Kings, not with this shits killing my brother like a coward man. There is no need to spill blood or cut life. Just pure fighting with the strength to strength.

“The first witness is given permission to speak.” The Spoken Man spoke as he hit the bell. Everyone was silent. I only heard the scratching of someone’s feet. The blow of warm air comes from the outside. It was summer therefore the freaking temperature was hot.

I was startled when the first one who stood up was Zephyrus. He had no emotion on his face. He even avoided looking at me. Do not tell me he was the damn first witness?

When he sat on the witness chair, I confirmed that my guess was right. I gasped for air. I did that gently to prevent everyone from noticing it. I had no knowledge why Zephyrus was doing this, but surely, he had a reason. He may be the most playful king among all of us, but he was not a man who would do such stupid nonsense things without thinking.

Zephyrus gazed at me. He mouthed ‘sorry’ before he began to speak. “I saw King Water holding the same knife when I went to his room. He was gazing at it with his sharp eyes. I thought he would just have his training or would be used that for hunting. However when King Lighting had been poisoned by the same knife caught from his chamber…” Zephyrus moved his head down. He sniffed once and then looked down. “I honestly don’t know what to think. You can judge my story and investigate what was truth.”

Admittedly, what he did was the hurtful truth. It was like betraying me without a final basis. I understand that he loved us both, but what was the purpose of his witnessing when the right person who did this to Raiden was free walking around us? He might cause danger again.

It was my mother. He always wanted to rule the Elemental Kingdom. Possibly, executing me was her first step. I would be forever against her plans.

“Speak up your opinion, King Water.” The spoke person gazed at me, followed by everybody in this hall.

“Agreed.” I chinned my head up. There was no fear running into my system. My eyes went to Zephyrus. He fought my stare as it took a second. “If that’s what you think am I.”

I would never be scared of the things that I did not do. King Lightning was annoying me at times. He was against my desire to women. He was mad every time I f*cked women because he said “Respect women,” but that would never be the reason for killing my won blood. I only had my brothers in spite of how messy my life was. Murdering them would never be my choice unless I was forced to.

I slowly closed my palm as I prevented myself to be mad at Zephyrus. He was my partner in crime. All my shits, he knew. We were capable of understanding each other more than best friends. This thought me a lesson that not everybody should be trusted.

“Continue your statement, King Wind.” The spokesman gave him permission to talk again.

“We all know King Water.” Zephyrus moved his head down. He could not straightly look at the people. “All of us called him a Mad King. He shouted at people even in small things.” He sniffed for the second time.

My eyes went to my mother. She was in front of the hall, listening. Her cold eyes that was the same as mine did not care at all. So what if I am executed? I was just a moving shit of this kingdom even my father did not care at all.

“He scolded everybody he wants to scold of. He teased people he trips to annoy. He…” Zephyrus finally looked into my eyes. “If he wants a thing, he works for it.”

“Therefore you concluded that he poisoned Alpha King of Lightning?” The spokesman interrupted the statement. In this hall, all of us were equal. No kings. We were all accusers when we committed a crime.

Zephyrus stood up. He bravely looked around. “I said what I said. He is a mad king. Not a perfect person, but who among us are? Nobody is perfect.” He walked towards the front. “He may be not a good example as an Alpha King… So do I.” His eyes were no emotion. “Admit it. If you look at him, he seems a not winning king. A defeated king who will just scold and scold and be mad.”

He paused talking. I saw how strong he was t stand there as a serious man. Not his usual funny face who joked and made things funny. “Hali can subject to poisoning King Lightning.” He shook his head. “But I will never believe that.”

My head moved up as my eyes widened. I settled my stare on Zephyrus while the people murmuring. Different opinions could be heard around the hall. Is he not standing to me as guilty?

“He is a Mad King, but he will never be a brother’s murderer. He stand brave to fight me when I was a kid even if he got twenty stabs on his back. He saved King Fire when the flames were eating him by giving him water. He cut off the head of a man who belittles King Ice’s ability which was really publishable by death. Lastly…” He pointed to the second floor. “King Lightning can speak.”

I was in shock when I saw King Lightning on the second floor, staring at us on the first floor. The surprise never left me when Pyro stood up.

“Second motion. King Water is an innocent.” Pyro said with all his heart. The door opened widely. It was Colden with Zarya on his back.

“Second motion. King Water is an innocent.” Colden spoke up.

Then, everybody heads up when Raiden said. “Second motion. King Water is an innocent.”
