I was driven into a dungeon where a large portcullis was used as a door and torture equipment was stored.

This one was moved and came to collectors and twisted minds.

So I found myself in a big dungeon with lots of other cells.

There were children in it too, lots of children.

"Whoah! Did you see the dragon?" they cried.

One of the guards: "When you see him eating you like a snack, you'll immediately find him less beautiful, by the way, it's lunchtime!"

They threw dry bread and water into pitchers for the children and they opened a wooden trap in my cell and threw a little girl there.

"Your meal, monster!"

The little girl was breathing very hard and must have been 5 years old at the most. Just a worn and dirty torn to shreds dress.

Her breathing was jerky and she was in the corner of my barefoot cell and her bloody arms bloody with whips came between her and me.

I was revolted and anger was visible on my face.

The guards wanted to see the show that I was eating the child.

I turned my back on the child and started eating salads and cabbage that remained in the cell.

I didn't know people and I knew it made them mad.

I was then thrown a vegetable cart as they saw that I only ate vegetables.

"Ah, a herbivore..." Shit then. Well, I'm not going to look for the child in there." giggled one of the jailers.

Meanwhile, Erza had called in a lawyer and the court was directly above the dungeon. When we condemned, we opened a trapdoor and the condemned person came down directly from the room to the prison.

From prison, we heard judgments and debates and almost always a heavy, cruel and spectacular punishment. It was show justice.

The only purpose was to frighten the population and to show the omnipotence of the suzerain.

Felicius 2 is the current king and does exceptional justice.

His brother-in-law Profius, bishop and great inquisitor and father of Sheriff Rogue, have recently been in office.

Six months ago, Robur III, King of Anda-ar was murdered by black elves. They swore allegiance to Demon King Bhaal.

The militia was reorganized and the order of knighthood reorganized following this attack, which also had as collateral victims the 2 children of Robur III, 5 years old and 7 years old for the boy.

They were officially kidnapped to be sold as slaves.

As a result, Felicius 2, brother of King Robur III, was appointed Grand Regent by Profius.

Then Felicius had just been appointed King with Profius as his advisor and Snape to lead his entire clique.

Of course, the assassination was a false flag attack to take power, to execute the knights who did not want to comply with Profius or Rogue.

And to justify a culprit, he was blamed on Lord Bhaal and the black elves.

And there is nothing like a war to justify a drastic increase in the cost of living through heavy taxes!

Of course, the taxes were for the modest and the poor. The nobles actually supported the coup d'état. They could thus play the local lord with the weakened and unhappy population.

And Princess Sylvie and her brother, Prince Will, were far from dead. And closer to me than I knew.

"Lord Profius, I present to you our notable who will defend Ivan's cause." Says Erza.

"Lord Profius, Your Majesty Fecilicus 2, I introduce myself, I am a specialist in legal texts and my name is Pilate."

Félicius:" I see the dragon didn't waste time making allies here. But first let's give the floor to Bishop Profius"

Profius:

"We have been charged with bringing to justice the crimes perpetrated by the so-called Ténébrion. This evil being and considered as one of the four generals or Calamities of Demon Lord Bhaal, is not only a dragon, but is responsible for genocide in our kingdom as well as other kingdoms. His victims number in the thousands. Representatives of noble families who are victims are thus taken as witnesses.

The Queen of Magic Creatures, La Fae Magestia asked us to do justice also in her name and sent us Unicorns to hunt, find and arrest the criminal. He tore, devoured and burned and plundered the magic kingdoms. He left behind a bloody trail that culminated in the murder of my brother-in-law, His Majesty Robur III and the kidnapping where the children generally ended up in his stomach. The death of my little princess Sylvie, who was innocent, haunts me every night. His older brother, Prince Will, also grieves me.

His arrest and detention here without any bloodshed is a miracle.

Probably thanks to the Unicorns here present in their human form."He turned and greeted them.

Then he continued:"I respect the position of a notable and an honourable guild leader to want to defend the unjustifiable but, out of respect, I will give you the floor once. Since you're not noble, that in itself is a favor."

The king made a gesture with his hand so that Pilate could speak:"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"The dragon you have here, he surrendered of his own free will and is under our protection. He was a prisoner of Zanzar the madman in another world called Earth, a place similar to our world but where magic died out following the extinction of the dragons. He was the last of his kind and he came here with Chronos from the Gauntlet team. We enrolled him in the guild and taught him the basics of our language. A very sweet and gentle creature.

He bought a property legally and settled near a river. He comes to work at the guild to train young recruits and receive sweets in return. There have never been any incidents and his name is Ivan. He says he was a human being himself and found himself in the body of a dragon at the age of 6. He came here, fleeing persecution, but I see that even here it continues. You've got the wrong guy. He knows where Ténébrion is and all our lie tests were negative. I ask that he be released so as not to give the image of a country that does justice to innocent people, the guilty in the wild."

Visibly irritated, Profius spoke again: "So you insinuate that Snape, our Sheriff, brings innocent people here and that the king punishes them in place of the guilty in freedom???? That's a serious accusation!"

Félicius, looking at Queen Magestia's emissary, intervened:" Profius, this is not today's subject, let's focus on Ténébrion"

"Ahem, thank you, Your Majesty!

As I said (and he signalled to a soldier to lift the gate that plunged directly onto the roof of my dungeon, black and poorly lit), Come, gentlemen and ladies,"

And he waved to the witnesses to bend down to see me through the hatch. The lighting was very dark and you couldn't see anything, the children were screaming, but the resonance turned the complaints into roaring, probably with a twisted copper horn to distort the sound like the golden calf, a cruel killing instrument. Or the unfortunate man was roasted in the belly of the copper calf and his screams were transformed into bellowing by a metal resonance."Yes, it's him! I recognize him"

Another one:

"Bastard, you're gonna pay for eating my wife."

And a parade of embittered people or bribed witnesses took place above my head.A woman noticed a white shirt next to me and shouted, "Oh, my God, he ate a child!"So stupid, she didn't even ask herself why there were children in a prison.

"TO DEATH"

Clammer

"TO DEATH! THE DRAGON!"

Profius finally turned to Pilate as men closed the hatch and spread perfume to hide the stench of the dungeon:

"I have nothing more to say, Your Majesty, and I believe, dear Pilate, that the evidence is there. And I see no witnesses here, the defendant cannot be considered a witness, so I regret to say that the debate is closed."

Felicius:" I will give my judgment as there are no more witnesses or documents to add to this case. I'll keep it short and simple. People have suffered enough and Justice must be done."

I solemnly declare, On behalf of my people of Anda-ar and Queen Magestia who had the courage to ask us to do justice, that Ivan or Ténébrion say so, guilty of the alleged acts:

Genocide,Vol, damage,Assassinations,ConspiraciesWildernessBarbary and To eat human flesh.Add to that the fact of being a dragon from hell and Witchcraft and witchcraft

And finally,

To be a hellish Duke of Lord Bhaal!

Therefore, He will be put to death at the next moon, on the great square after having passed to the Wheel or its limbs will be broken

Upon his death, his body will be skinned and the profit from the sale of his constituent parts will be used as compensation to his unfortunate victims."

Pan, made his hammer on the desk

The case and my fate were sealed.

The countdown was on:

Run away from here or die!
