Divulgence of Sacrilege

[Malek]

A trial on trial

Such a public statement was apparently quite expected, a response readied immediately. Darius Kallis takes to a public stand to issue his own direct statement.

"Cute.

To everyone that's begun worshipping a child, I fear for what Aphros is becoming.

One single crime, or any decision I've made on behalf of Aphros without proper representatives including nobility and the military. 

I'm waiting, Solomon. So is all of Aphros.

I on the other hand have witnesses to Sozha's threat, directly to nobility. Also her ordering of a young woman quite incapable of disobeying her superiors to leave my side when she was simply out doing errands with me.

Curious how I gave her the choice of whom to listen to, while your sycophant forced her.

Curious how she now says she's taken an oath after I left you, to one she can no longer disobey. You're no different to the betrayer Athelios fought, to protect our ability to choose.

Despite all this? The trial is the trial, even the notice states all possess the potential to challenge it. 

Aphros knows what I have done, all foreign negotiations handled by me, yet not a single time have I overexerted authority. 

I have proof. You have nothing.

Why not settle this the simple way? A trial before the trial. You can attempt to prove any crimes or overextension of authority you have against me. I prove your follower's threats, perhaps expose whatever else you get up to, hm?

The rest of nobility leaders, and our lovely knight commanders can decide.

You're right, Solomon. We are not the same. I taught you the words you speak, yet you never learned how to back them up."
