Justice Court, Ascendria.
Ascendria was one of the many countries present in the Angel Continent, ruled by the Angel King Zadkiel.
The Justice Court was located in this place.
It was one of the major courts of Justice in the Angel Continent and all the first trials of people who have committed any offence was done here.
Justice was provided quickly and in case someone felt things weren't fair, they could challenge their case into a higher court which was the Vatican Court of Justice located in the Vatican City of the Angel Continent.
This was the highest one could go for a challenge and in case it didn't work either, one could send an appeal to the Heavenly Court.
If the appeal is valid, the case is conducted further into the Heavenly Court and this is the supreme verdict. There's no going beyond this and one had to accept the sentence given to them.
As for Lith, he had not done a major offence, but it also wasn't something small and was taken straight to the Justice Court.
The Angel Continent, as one would've imagined, was very vibrant and bright.
The blue skies, the clean places, the golden and white themed places, it was all something that reeked of purity and happiness.
Being a Vampire, this place wasn't well liked by Lith, but the former human in him could finally make out how heaven would be.
The Justice Court was located in a sky island with water falling from all sides of it, disappearing into the clouds, and creating a serene environment.
The Justice Court looked like a giant white lotus and there were a lot of people going in and out of it.
Lith was brought to the ground and made to walk on the gray stone pavement towards the giant lotus shaped architecture.
Once inside, he was taken straight into a small chamber where there was a judge sitting on one end and opposite to him was an empty chair.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were six other people sitting in the court and who they were, Lith had no idea.
Lith was made to sit on the empty chair and his judgement had begun.
The judge went through his file and then turned to look at Lith.
"You have crossed the borders of the Angel Continent without permission. What reasons they were, I'd like to know."
Lith sighed. "Will you believe me if I tell the truth?"
"It depends," the judge said flatly.
Shaking his head, Lith said, "Well, I accidentally teleported here from an inheritance trial and then those guys caught me."
Lith pointed at the four people in uniforms.
The judge nodded and wrote it down. "What was the inheritance trial and where was it?"
Lith shook his head. "It's confidential. In any case, let's not waste each other's time and get this done quickly. I wanna make a call, I am sure things would be easier for you and me both after that."
The judge looked at Lith for a few seconds and then at the uniformed officers.
The officers shrugged and the judge ended up nodding his head.
"Go ahead, make the call."
There was nothing the court would be losing and the accused had the option to bring in people they felt could help the case.
Angels were the most merciful beings and also very tolerant.
What was happening right now was that the Angels were following protocols given by their higher ups to ensure stability in the society.
There were no hard feelings or grudges. It really didn't matter to them if Lith went without punishment as they believed it could very well be an accident like he had just described.
Lith was surprised with this outcome. These guys gave him no trouble to make a call, no resistance to anything either.
In any case, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

Abalax World Academy.
It was yet another normal day for the Principal of the world's number one academy.
Emilia was sipping on tea and reading some students' papers while Sel was sitting on the sofa and managing the upcoming tests of fourth years.
Ringgg… Ringgg…
Emilia's phone rang and her attention diverted to it.
As soon as she saw the name of the person who had called, her face bloomed like a beautiful flower.
She immediately picked it up and said, "Husband! Where have you been for so long!?"
"How is my little angel doing?" Lith didn't rush and inquired about his wife's well being first.
The waves of emotions in Emilia immediately calmed down as she heard that.
Such small gestures were what she craved and loved the most.
Despite her asking him a question, her husband's first response was to know about her health.
This was very warming and truly made her feel that yes, she was indeed married, loved, and cared for.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmOn top of that, getting called a little angel, even though she was way older, was something that made her gleeful.
Trying to control herself from smiling stupidly, Emilia replied, "I am good. How is husband?"
"Not doing good," Lith answered.
"Why?"
"Because you're not here with me."
"Ahem. Ahem. Mr., you're in a court," someone said in the background.
"Huh? Court? Husband, where are you?" The response didn't go unnoticed by Emilia and she asked, slightly worried.
"Well… uhh… there occurred a small mishap and now I am in the Justice Court in Ascendria. Can you—"
"WHAT!? ASCENDRIA!?" Emilia slammed the table and said, getting worked up.
"STAY WHERE YOU ARE, I'LL BE THERE IN A SECOND!"
Saying so, Emilia cut the call.
Sel, who was working, had her attention diverted and looked at her Madam. It wasn't often that she would get to see her Madam in such a mood.
"Madam, is something wrong?" She asked.
"YES!" Emilia immediately replied. "Some fools touched my husband! Can you believe it? Not to mention, that place is my hometown!"
"…" Sel was speechless.
She couldn't understand how something which had an almost zero percent chance of happening, happened.
How in the world did her Madam's husband end up in her hometown and top of that, was now in court like a criminal.
How could this even happen?
Sel had so many questions, but before she could converse further, her Madam disappeared from the spot.
Shaking her head, Sel said softly, "May the Light bless those poor souls who unknowingly offended Madam."
