Chapter 159 - 159.The case is closed... (1/2)

Kendra just shook her head unnoticeably as she passe everyone that knew her. They smiled and was curious so they followed. Someone even sends a message to the Lord and Lady. ''Kendra went with a huge smile on her face to Main Hall.''

When they saw the message they had to laugh and show it to Isaa that just felt sorry for the fool.

''Let her have some fun. She is at that age where she can afford to be playful. After all, she has us as backing, right dear?'' Of course, Lord Cassian was on teh side of his precious daughter. After all, Kendra would act like this only if someone overstepped to much and offended her..or them?... Ugh in this case, should they go watch as well?

Lady Xara saw his changing expressions and swung her hand and with loud thump hit his head. ''Let her have fun, you have work to do. Sit and finish, now!!!''

Isaa actually sat there quietly but was stupified by viciousness her mother sometime shad towards her father. Maybe she should like that as well in the future. Then husbands will listen better, look at how he listens to mother's words... amazing.

''Mom, you are my idol.'' Isaa held Lady Xara's hand.

She looked at stary eyes chidl in confusion. ''What is Idol?'

''That is a word Kendra taught me. This means someone who you look upon and is a role model for you and future life.'' Her hand softly toughed the baby's stomach and felt small movements inside.

Lady Xara and Lord Cassian looked at each other and the Isaa. ''Does that mean Kendra has someone who she looks up at?''

Isaa nodded. ''She told me she does, but when I asked who she just smiled and said, secreeet.''

''Oh.'' They shrugged it off as tehy had anyway so much to do. The paperwork they had never stopped for a second. But that doesn't bother them. After all, they are sharing everything including this part. At least they are in the same place and can work closely.

Lord Cassian gave Lady Xara glance and she went furious as she hissed: ''Do that one more time and I won't see you until our chidl is born. Understood?''

he felt he overstepped and just hugged her planted small kiss on her nose and sat down to work. He didn't see how angry expression changed into loving one on Lady Xara's face, but Isaa did. One more thing learned, be vicious if there is no other way but love with all the heart and protect the one you love, no matter how silly he is.

Suddenly she remembered Cian's silly expressions since they met the first time and chuckled. Yep, same as father, if you can have grand breakthrough after closed cultivation, you... will... be ... mine!!!

Inside the  City Hall was a different picture. Kendra set judges, lawyers, prosecutors ...whole system of laws like in past life. So in case of dispute, everyone was even in eyes of law.

There were five judges that handled cases fairly. When they arrived one of the courtrooms became free so they were lead inside by guards.

They set them on two sides. ''If any of these sides make problems you will get great fines. If you didn't know, out city lord loves gold...very much. So get him richer... please.'' One of the courtroom officers smiled at both sides as he said these words and then just bowed.

Then he stood still while his eyes darted from one side to the other.  Kendra rose her eyebrows. This officer is cute. He can't wait to earn more money for her father but doesn't know that City Lord's daughter is there. She almost started laughing but stopped herself.

Soon a man came in in officer's uniform and sat on the main position of the court. ''I am judge Chris Ma. Does any of the sides need a lawyer? They are free. I recommend one. '' he looked around and saw a woman with children raising her hand after she spoke to the boy behind her.

''I would need one as an original citizen of Caledon Valley.'' She said with a shaky voice and sat slowly down.

Chris Ma scrunched his eyebrows. This means ha has to call the rest of the judges in and the City Lord. Her words meant official request to be judged as Citizens of this Valley. It means this man has someone big behind his back and she needs protection from the City Lord.

He coughed and breathed deeply. he turned around with serious expression and with a grave voice said. ''Call the great court of Caledon Valley we have requested here. Hurry!!!''

As the woman was preoccupied with children and the man boasted with friends the only person who saw nervousness of the judge and his quick response was Kendra. Father chooses smart people indeed.

When the rest of the judges entered they recognized Kendra. But she put a finger on her mouth and winked at them. Chris Ma saw everything and was confused. He whispered to the nearest. ''Do you know that boy?''

The judge smiled. ''You have no idea. But to tell you one thing. When that boy starts smiling brightly, those that annoy him, usually get badly hurt ...or die. Let us deal with this case. If that child called for the Great Court that means again some people are acting up. So just be calm and do what you learned in this short time.''

Bunch of soldiers came in standing on all sides of the courtroom scaring that man and his friends into silence. The woman got scared but one comforting hand patted her shoulder and she saw boy behind her smiling. ''With those words, you called Great Court of Caledon Valley. Only citizens o this Valley can call upon them. the main judge is Lord Cassian himself. Please trust him.''

The woman sighed in relief. She looked at the two girls and boy with a comforting smile and hugged them. The children were not nervous at all. Actually they felt much safer with all those soldiers around then with their father, so they felt actually quite relaxed.

''We will commence soon the Great Court of Caledon Valley. For those that don't know this instance can be called only by original citizens of Caledon Valley. The main judge will be his Lordship Cassian of Caledon Valley. Please wait for a bit until he arrives.'' Soon few servants came in with some warm tea and snacks and brought them to the woman and children.

''Hey, what about us?'' The man complained.

The servant respectfully bowed. ''Any of you gentlemen are original citizens of this Valley?''

''We are not. Does that mean we do not get any?'' The man now was quite furious.

Servant sighed. ''The children are scared so our Lord felt that they should be calmed down. So he sent these snacks from the palace. If you want you can ask him personally for some.'' He then bowed again and turned his back to flabbergasted people.

The husband jumped up and pointed his finger at that man's back yelling loudly at him. ''Insolent!!! Do you know who I am? You will crawl soon under my feet you worm!''

The servant stopped his tracks and turned with ironic smiles. ''Thank you for your donation. And by the way, are you the King? Only she has higher power than him. I am his personal servant and his right hand. You yelling at me is as spitting at his face. Nice fine you shall get then. Have a nice day...'' Turned around and left.

The court officer had sparkly eyes and took his notebook out. ''Screaming and yelling in court 10 gold, insulting an officer of Caledon Valley 100 gold coins. Insulting our City Lord 20 plank hits or 1000 gold coins. Do you want to get hit or to pay?''

Suddenly a voice could be heard from outside booming. ''Who dares?!''

A burly man in a robe came in followed by a beautifully dressed woman. He looked at the court officer with despise and yelled. ''Who dares to beat my son-in-law?''

The court official noted something in his notebook and smiled. ''May I ask who you are?''

The man scoffed. ''Of course, such small officer in this back thrown country town, of course, have no idea who I am. I am Lord General Ernon Parri from Capital city and this is my daughter Sandra and my son in law Cirio Tripol from great clan Salis. You still dare to find him?''

The court official just shrugged. ''I work under Lord Cassian of Caledon Valley. If you want to argue about the rules in this city you need to talk to him. He will be soon here. By the way, you are fined as well 10 gold coins as you yelled as well. For any more yelling cursing and such our city can get only a bonus, we really hope you are wealthy enough for further payments.''

General Parri stood there completely stunned and looked furiously at the judges and the officials, but when he saw that he was ignored he wanted to rush and beat them up. Unfortunately, one of the soldiers stood straight in front of him and started ta him coldly. ''General. City Lord will be here soon. Please voice your sorrow when he arrives.''

He looked at soldier in ager but when he felt suddenly power around the soldier he got calmer and looked around. All the soldiers in the room were power users. ''I will need to report this to our Ministry. Lord Cassian is gathering army a sit seems.''

The soldier just calmly stared at him without any fear. ''Do that, when you go back to the capital. Until then you have to follow the laws of our Caledon Valley. Please be seated next to your people.''

General Parri just huffed and sat down. His daughter sat down next to her husband and send poisonous glances at his ex-wife and children.

Senna ignored her completely. She let children eat sweets and drink the juices that were sent from the Lord's Palace. Kendra sat behind them and just joined the fun.

Suddenly the door opened and the court official yelled. ''His highness Lord of Caledon Valley and Lady Xara are present.''

The two people entered the courtroom and sat on together in mid between the judges.

''As it is Big Court of Caledon Valley called Open the doors for everyone to hear it. this has something to do with all citizens of our Valley. So they need to hear EVERYTHING!'' He waved his hands and back doors, side doors stood open and soon a crowd of peopel entered.

The court official yelled. ''Silence!!! No one is to speak of now or will be heavily punished.''

Everyone went mute. They knew that teh fines in this court were so unreasonable so they just shut their mouth.

''Who is filing a lawsuit?'' Asked the court official.

''My name is Senna Kal. I am his ex-wife. We divorced while ago and he got married to the daughter of General Parri. We have three children. My plead is to give me full rights over my children and change their last name.'' She bowed respectfully in front of the court and sat down.

Court officials turned his head towards the other group. ''What do you have to say to your defense?''

General Parri was stunned. ''What do you mean defense?''

''She just asked your son in law to give her full right over children, are you willing?''

Cirio Tripol listened to his wife's words and smiled. He didn't stand up or show respect just gave wile smirk. ''Let her have it. My wife just told me she is pregnant. Those children mean anyway anything to me.''

Lord Cassian saw Kendra smiling at Cirio and coughed lightly. ''Wait a minute. They will bring the City Book and do all the paperwork while you are here. Congratulations on this case. New life is always good.''
