“Let's take a
breather.”

Watched Robot
Combat League today. Well, show had a lot of filler. Kinda expect it
from a show where they're battling human sized robots, they don't
exactly have the budget to be doing twenty fights for each hour long
show. Got really interesting during the end when the actual fighting
started. The start of the fight was meh, the sparks shown were pretty
much sparks preprogrammed to be made by the bots. But then the robots
actually started to damage each other. Parts flew off and stuff. The
victor won by beating the other with its limp arm. Yay robot
fighting!
Anyway onto the
flash fiction!
The Dragon's
Defense
“This entire
case against me is only baseless prejudiced mess!” Steve Scaletail
yelled. “I didn't kidnap any princess and I certainly didn't bring
her to my castle!” Smoke ejected from the dragon's green-scaled
mouth. He spread out his giant wings a little while sitting in the
defendant's chair to relieve strain.
The prosecution
stood up to the dragon with a confident glare and a fancy red suit,
“Baseless? We have testimony by a noble sworn knight of the
princess being in your personal quarters. When he went to scene he
found that she had to break multiple locks to escape.”
Steve got even
madder. “Break out? She was breaking in! The princess is a burglar!
Are you too dumb to figure that out!? She wanted to take all my
family heirlooms! Thank my firey breath I arrived on time to stop
her!”
The prosecution
look baffled. “There was no report of you having any family
heirlooms in your castle.”
Scaletail
groaned. “For the love of- My 'dragon's treasure'. Hey, humans of
the court? You know why all that 'treasure' is locked in chests
throughout a dragon's castle? Because it belonged to their dead
aunt. Fifty years the humans and non-humans creatures have been
under treaty and you haven't put two and two together? She was
pilfering me just like those adventurers of old! Then as soon as I
come in and say 'get out of my house!' she tells a knight I kidnapped
her!”
“We just
don't take your word for it,” The prosecution said.
Steve took a
breath. “And what does my own attorney have anything to say?”
The defense
attorney stood up, with a fancy blue suit, and said, “I'd like to
hear the princess's defense to my client's claims.”
Quickly the
princess took to the stand and quickly she spoke, her words like a
verbal flood,
“IwaskidnappedIdidn'tstealanythingIjustpickedthelocksandescaped.”
“You are very
arrogant miss.” The defense attorney said.
The princess
grew more steady and slowed her voice down, “How so?” So far in
the trial she appeared very sweet and somewhat childish, rapid
speaking almost like a nervous child's panic.
“You say you
didn't steal anything, but it is very plain to me that you did, and
you felt so confident in your lies you brought evidence in here by
bringing that ring in here. So cocky that you think you wouldn't be
caught.” The defense nodded his head like a disappointed parent.
“What are you
talking about? I'm not wearing any rings.” The princess's hands
were completely bare besides some overly expensive nail polish.
“Well, you
decorated it with a lot of new stones, both to make it look better
and to disguise it a great deal. And you're wearing it on your head.
Because you think a dragon's ring is a crown. You just thought my
client's family heirloom's were just treasure and that was a human
crown and not a dragon's ring. And even if you wiped it clean there
are enough makers marks on there to show that it isn't a human crown
you bought. Any dragon jeweler we bring it to will prove to us it
isn't a human crown.”
“Y-you.”
The princess's face turned red as a dragon's fire breath.
“One
stereotype got me this case. A princess's vanity.” The defense
attorney smiled. Ever since he saw that case-winning ring on the
princess's head he was trying to think of the best witty line he
could think of to end on.
