LG109 Night One: TOWed out of here
Lord R2D2 was not exactly the most temperate of lords. It was a fault of his parents, being named with one of the most ridiculous ever to grace the Final Empire. He sniffed, irritated at the other lords. Fools, the lot of them. Most were half-breeds who didn't know how to run a business.
He looked around. The energy was high in the counsel chamber. Lords began to shout and names thrown out, wild accusations. One of which was his own. He grimaced, hating the sound of it. Are-Too-Dee-Too. Ugly, awful. It did not fit his station whatsoever.
"Who said my name?" he said, putting down his fist on his table. He was a powerful man to say the least, and his voice was deep and authoritative. Naturally the room silenced.
Dedri aquiesced. "Lord Markus, I believe, Lord . . ."
R2D2 cut him off before he could utter his name. "That's nonsense! Why would I be . . ."
He was interrupted by a cool voice, low and threatening. "It is not just him, Lords. With all due respect, I believe R2D2 to be a Venture spy. No offense, of course, my Emperor."
R2D2 curled his fists. Lord Sart. That man had the arrogance to walk in late to a meeting pivotal to the fate of the Empire and just accuse him! "How dare you?" he whispered quietly.
"No. He has a point." came another voice, Renalis by the sounds of it.
More voices chimed in, each agreeing. Lord Ruler, these idiots! Even a fool Thug could tell you he was innocent!
"Lords!" he shouted, louder than he meant to. He forcibly calmed himself down. "My lords, it is nonsense that you think I'm a spy of . . ."
Markus spoke again. "Emperor Elend, I motion that we remove R2D2 from office."
R2D2 stood up. That was it. His name . . . his rusting name!
Elend glanced at him for a moment. "Lord R2D2." he paused.
R2D2 braced himself for the sentence.
"You are hereby stripped of your titles and exiled from the city of Luthadel."
No. No.
Stripped of his titles. Exiled.
All his life, his fortune . . .
Gone.
"Please escort Citizen R2D2 from the premises, Captain Hammond. He has no place here." Elend turned away, trembling slightly.
R2D2 thought for the briefest movement of resisting, before the Thug grabbed his shoulders and towed him from the room. Best of luck to you all, he thought bitterly, as the doors slammed behind him.
