Chapitre 21: Blinded justice
"Since Lady Dawson wants this to be a public event I as the host shall do as you please."
Celestia signals her employee to place two chairs on the side for the two involve party to seat in the center of the restaurant. She turns to Keane.
"Sir Keane sorry to trouble you however can I please borrow your knights."
Keane looks at Celestia and nods her head slightly, Celestia smiles lightly. Cepheus expression turn a little dark as if he ate a lemon.
"Thank you, can I get your knights to stay on the outside and surround everyone in the restaurant who are downstairs, I don't care if they are nobles, merchant or commoners. Don't let them slip past your men, if they resist do as you see fits as we have robbery in the restaurant."
Celestia didn't hide the conversation between her and Keane, she purposely said it loudly so everyone heard her. The noble lady stood up quickly as she pointed at the waitress screaming.
"So it is true you did steal my jewelry, when you bump into me."
"I really didn't, I'm innocent."
Celestia felt an headache from all the screaming, Cepheus saw her iterated expression so he release his energy towards the crowd as a warning. Scaring those who are mentally weak, some fainted and some almost passed out, if not for their knight standing near them they would've embarrass themself.
"Now let's get to business. Since we're all busy people and it's the Symphonia Festival I don't want to take up people's time."
In other words the person the people should be blaming for wasting their time is the heroine since she wanted it to be done in public and not in private between the two parties. Those who understood Celestia understatement looks over at the heroine displease.
The heroine also realise her mistake however she already knows the truth since she played the game before, the one that really stole the gem was no one. There was no stolen gem, the whole incident was just that the waitress accidently split the soup on the ladies dress.
The heroine felt confused as she thought back to what Celestia said, and looks at the noble lady agitated emotion, then at the waitress. Did she miss something important as she play the game, she remembers that during this level she only got a rank C. Did she miss a important part of the incident.
However Celestia didn't allow the heroine think in peace as she got the manager to turn on the holovid to everyone to see. In the holovid, shows the noble lady walking into the restaurant and sat down in her seat, as she places her gem on the table. The waitress came to take her order and left, the gem is still there on the table.
Celestia kept her eyes on the waitress as she saw that the waitress face looks pale as she panic watching the holovid. She looks at the noble lady and her maid as they focus on the recording calmly and lastly at the heroine as she watches the holovid in shock.
In the holovid it shows the same waitress coming back to serve all the food placing it quickly on the table, as she places the last few dishes her hand quickly grabs the gem slipping it into her pocket however her hand hit the soup and it fell on the noble lady's dress.
The noble lady stood up straight looking at the waitress disgusted. The waitress stood up taking a step back in panic, as she looks up towards Celestia she glares at her with hatred. Celestia raise a brow confuse why the waitress looks at her with hatred.
"Why do you look at me with so much hatred?"
"If it weren't for you I would've escape with this piece of gem, young miss you grew up with wealth, you don't understand the struggle us commoners go through."
"You are right, I grew up with a golden spoon, but you grew up with a broken spoon. I got to live under a protected roof and warm bed but you, barely get to sleep under a roof and get a little bit of left over cotton you call a blanket to keep you warm at night. However there's one thing you have said wrong not all commoners steal, lie or are evil like you. You are yourself and they are their own individual self, don't place them in the same category as yourself. What you have done today it was your own decision and not what the commoners wanted. Keane I'll get you to decided her fate she is no longer my, Septihanus people."
Cepheus eyes looks at Celestia with tenderness as he silently watches her silent everyone in the crowd. His woman is truly a queen who rules over the mortals. If they weren't standing here in public we would have cornered her and kiss her lips.
However he knows his limit as Celestia is still young he control his burning desire, Celestia still isn't 18 yet he will patiently wait till she is 18 and marry her. Of course Celestia doesn't have a clue that the man standing beside her are already planning to kidnap her at 18.
Celestia saw that the heroine slip into the crowd and ran away however Celestia didn't care as she stop another death flag. Celestia looks at Cepheus and went out the room slipping to the backdoor, letting Keane clean up the mess.
Cepheus held her hand tightly, Celestia looks at Cepheus confuse.
"What's wrong?"
"You knew that Lady Dawson didn't know the waitress stole the gem didn't you?"
Celestia looks into his eyes and can see that she can't hide anything from him so she told the truth.
"Yes I knew from the very beginning, but people like her are blinded by greed and seek for people's approval she only sees the surface. Since Lady Dawson wanted to do it in public I did as she please."
Cepheus pulls her into his arms as he hugs her tightly, he leans in and bites her right ear, Celestia gasp, as she looks at Cepheus accusingly with teary eyes.
"You...You, why did you bite my ear?"
Cepheus throat went dry as he tries to calm his desire down.
"There was a bug there I flick it with my finger. I'm sorry."
Celestia knew he was lying however looking at his calm expression she didn't bother to expose him. She pushes him aside as she walks off. Cepheus follows behind her quietly.
