Arthur stepped forward. “Your Majesty, according to the law, defying an imperial decree is an act of utmost disrespect–punishable by death.”
“The King, you must not!” Brent Dale, a veteran general, stepped forward lustily. “Your Majeuy, Isolde has rendered great service to the empire, especially in securing victory at Zloimond. Her crime must have been committed in a moment of folly, I beg Your Majesty to show mercy.”
Arthur’s voice was cold. “Brent, are you suggesting that those who have performed great deeds should be allowed to act without restraint, even to the point of defying the King? If so, would that not lead to utter chaos in the court? Do you dare challenge the authority of the throne?”
Brent, a man of action rather than words, flushed red at the accusation. He quickly clarified. “Your Majesty, that is not my intent. I only plead for mercy. While defying an imperial decree is indeed a capital offense, there have been precedents for clemency. Considering Garrett’s lifelong contributions to the empire. I implore Your Majesty to be lenient.”
Deangelo stepped forward. “Your Majesty, Brent is not without reason. Isolde’s crime stems from her refusal to observe mourning for her grandmother. Unfilial conduct is indeed a grave offense, but I suspect there is more to this matter than meets the eye. I beg Your Majesty to investigate further.”
The generals, emboldened by Deangelo’s stance, began speaking up.
“Your Majesty, Isolde has always been a loyal and courageous soldier. She would not defy a decree without cause. There must be deeper reasons. I beg Your Majesty to grant an inquiry,” another general urged.
Seamus added, “Your Majesty, please show leniency.”
Arthur was taken aback.
These were seasoned statesmen and generals, not ones to speak rashly. They usually avoided meddling in contentious matters. Why, then, were they all coming forward to defend Isolde?
He suspected Pablo had spent money to sway them.
In ordinary circumstances, Arthur would have avoided antagonizing these men. But now, he was at a critical juncture. If he hesitated, he would appear weak, and his carefully cultivated allies would lose faith in him.
