As the plane came near Zackaroth the great Citadel security was rushing about. It was heavy everywhere. The main city of Naga had a curfew for a few hours to prevent any attacks by loyalists or terrorists that resided in Zackaroth. Cops patorled the streets directing all people torwards there homes.


When Aleksandar would arrive he would be lead by armored van and escorted by army jeeps torwards the Citadel. When he'd arrive he'd be directed to the court room where the actual leader of Zackaroth , James Aimless Miranda, would be the head judge along with two others. He would be provided with a defense atorny and Zackaroth would be waiting for a proscutor from any of the other nations involved.

Pythogria would like to send observers for this trial.

We, Emperor of the Empire of Balknska Kraljevina shall not be disturbed by such nonsenses like this court, mumbled the 86 year old emperor/ king. We decline any statement, we do not respond to any of your questions. We shall not be judged by our enemies. We demand an official international court or immediate freedom. We order this little bishop of Zackaroth to kneel before your superior and to let us go. God wills it thus.

OOC: You know, in any real trial that would get you into more trouble. Would I have authority to respond IC to this?

OOC: The carachter of Aleksandar is one that is old, tired and absolutely incapable of comprehending what has happened to him. He reacts in the only way he knows. He is imprisoned in his own world of protocol. Go right ahead and respond IC

OOC: OK

"So, in effect, you are just going to deny every last thing wioth no proof whatsoever?"

Aleksandar did not utter a word and watched with empty eyes into the court room. I am the emperor. You are but a servant.
How dare you prosecute an old man like me?! I am the mperor. I am the direct vicar of God. I am above your laws. Don't you look into my eyes, worms! Kneel! I am the emperor!

"Just because you are old, does not mean you are good. The Old Tyrant of Pythogria, Xeriap, was around 95, and yet Hitler seemed a savior compared to him. And an Emperor is not always a benevolent governor."

The representative coughed.

"And no person can be above the law, emperor, middle class, king, or anything else."

I cannot have committed any crimes, the emperor is incapable of that.

At this moment of time the National Prosecutor of The Republic of BK enters the room. Excuse my late arrival gentlemen. I was caught up in a traffic jam. My name is Vasil Glagac. I am the prosecutor in the name of the Democratic republic of BK. I would like, your Honorable Lordships, to explain the world of thought of Aleksandar. If you do not understand this, you will not be able to prosecute. In the years before the birht of the empire, the king was considered not a real figure of power, but rather a ceremonial figure who represented the will of God on earth. He did not rule himself, but he left the country to the rule of a nobleman. After the limited democracy was imposed, the bourgeois were also represented, be it marginally. The emperor was claimed to be blameless and sinless. In his entire education he was not taught that his actions had consequences, but that if he failed, some one else, mostly a minister was to blaim. Therefore, he does not understand the idea of crime and punishment.I belief that we need to explain this to him, to see if he comprehends the idea and if he is able to stand trial.

"Indeed."

"Now, Emperor, you must realize that your actions-- they have consequences. Just because you are an emperor does not make you blameless."

OOC: What crime did he commit?

OOC: He did nothing to stop grigorevicz basically. Speaking of which, his trial is still going on in your court, isn't it? I just made him issue a plea

OOC: Ah. And I'll reply to the trial.

" Order ORDER! There shall be no explanation. If this man truly believes in God then he knows we where all born in sin. He would know that God placed the morals of Himself withen all people. You knew what you did was wrong but was blinded by Satan. Though we cannot judge your actions at a God believer we can judge that which you have done now. You have comitted crimes against humanity. We have yet to decide if you shall face the death sentence. If you do...may God have mercy on your soul. If not you will either go free if you are found unguilty or, with permission will work the rest of your life in zackaroth's prisoners labor camps." said James his voice booming.



OOC: Can someone send a Defense guy? I don't think I can play one.

OOC: Of course, the king/emperor is a very old man. He has been taught certain things and because of his age, he it is very hard for him to change his mind. For the moment, I will play a defense person, but I hope somebody will take over from me quickly.

Your Honour, this cannot be tolerated! Intervened Fizan Aficz, the defense atorney for Aleksandar. You are allready biased in your judgement. I demand this court be suspended and another judge found. This court is not impartial. We suspend all coorporation with his court until we have an impartial judge. My client hereby withdraws any pleas he may have made and refuses to enter a new one. If zackaroth is not able to facilitate an independent court, we demand that the trial will be continued in Pythogria.
We would like to state that our belief in God is not the same as yours. The king cannot be born in sin. He is not the same as us humans. he is the perfect ruler, who does not rule personally, but grants power to lesser beings.

OOC: Fine, I'll play defense. This post is Pythogria talking though.

IC:

"I make a motion that we simply let this man go. He has no power anymore, and he really can't hurt anyone."
