The
doors opened once more and the people in front of him finally ventured in. They’d
all been waiting for over two hours for The Empress to hear their case, and he
was getting a bit weary of having to share a waiting area with a bunch of
criminals. His was only a territorial dispute with his neighbour over a paddy
field; but the atmosphere was tense. Already there had been three fights and it
looked like the intervention from the guards inside the courtroom weren’t
putting people off from gearing up for a fourth. With each disruption the
guards had simply dragged the offenders away; presumably to a holding area of
the city. There they would be dealt with before returning…come to think of it he
hadn’t seen any of his fellow civilians exit the court. Perhaps there was a
contraflow system in place to avoid congestion in the city.
