This choice: go with a punishment meant to shame me • Go Back...Chapter #24go with a punishment meant to shame me by: milida   She licked her lips "One of my favorite too sir and I have the perfect world in mind, one were the penalty for most crimes is to be made female"
You laugh "Pray tell more?"
She tittered and gleefully rubbed her hands "The miscreants first get transformed, then publicly flogged before being auctioned off"
You give an impish grin "Hmm so a one way journey I assume?"
She grinned and nodded her head "Indeed sir"
You laugh "Okay lets go with that"
Moments latter the room fades and you find yourself in a rather different setting suspecting you should have asked for a few more details before leaping into her suggestion.
You looked around and found yourself in a very quaint town, somewhat mediaeval European in appearance with narrow streets and picturesque houses, a bit like something out of a book of fairy tales. It however also had something of a modern feel, there were all types of shops from delicatessen and confectionery through to a larger department store.
As you were enjoying simply being a sightseer a girl approached you and asked "Excuse me sir, but do you happen to be the famous John LeMure?"
You puffed out your chest proudly "Yes indeed lass I am that very person"
She then clapped her hands excitedly "Fantastic, will you come with me, I will take you to my house and I will make you some tea"
Having nothing better to do and seeing she was obviously a fan of your you nodded your head. She led you through numerous winding streets which all seemed to be going uphill. Eventually you reached a charming little cottage set in a small wood. Just like the one in Hansel and Gretel and were somewhat disappointed when it did not have a witch inside.
The lady brightly declared "Welcome to my home, Mr LeMure"
She then showed you into the front room and pulled the curtains and somewhat furtively declared "We cannot be too careful, you never know who is watching,"
You guessed she was worried about local gossip so simply smiled back.
Just as you were making yourself comfortable, there was a loud banging on the door and shouts of "Police, open up".
This was followed by a loud crash and about half-a-dozen policemen crowded into the small room. They demanded to know who you were and to see their papers. You quickly told them who you were then realized that of course, you had no papers and nor did the girl who had brought you to the cottage.
Consequently the pair of you were placed in handcuffs and taken to the local police station where you were informed you would be before the court in the morning. Your questions as to what the charge was and demands to see a Consular from your embassy were totally ignored. You were taken to your cells for the night, which were adjacent to one another. Once you both removed all of your clothes, you were given simple hospital style gowns to wear. These the staff did up by tying three sets of strings at the back. The cell was rather bare and basic and you had not a good feel about what was coming and of course knew the eventually outcome. You pondered what they would do with your accomplish given she was already female. The pair of you eventually fell into a fitful sleep.
The following morning, still in the gowns you had been given, you both were taken into court. It was quite a formal affair with three judges, a presiding judge and two subsidiaries. The charges levelled against you were read out and absolutely appalled you. The first charge was that on the previous night you and both done a break and enter into the holiday home of the Governor of the area. The second was that on a date unknown you had entered the country illegally. The third was that you were spies employed by a foreign power. Each of you were separately asked how you pleaded to the charges and both of you naturally replied not guilty. The lady with you added that they were all trumped up charges for which she received a stern rebuke from the presiding judge.
Evidence was then called for and the police inspector said that the pair of you had been found in the cottage and on arrival they found that the front door had been smashed in to gain entry.
"That just isn't true, the police smashed the door in" you blurted out unable to stand the lies "And as i said she invited me in she told me it was her . . ."
"Be silent sir, this is doing your case no good whatsoever," snapped the presiding judge. "Carry on inspector."
The Inspector then continued "Thank you your honor, that is just what the defendant was claiming last night, but how can someone who does not own a house invite some on in, besides they had no papers on them and we have evidence the lady is a spy"
There was then a whispered consultation between the three judges and the presiding judge spoke saying that the defendants were found guilty on the all charges. There was a stunned silence before both of you shouted out that this was an injustice and that both of you were not guilty. The lady added they were all trumped up charges and that neither of you had been given a chance to properly defend yourselves.
A loud roar then came from the presiding judge telling you both to be quiet and that the sentence passed on you was one of life imprisonment and you would be converted to a female and your accomplish would be turned into a pony girl. Further, because of the constant interruptions, you would both be given 24 strokes of the cane at the next public punishment session.
You were completely outraged
