NADIA VS. EDWARD — DAY 1
October 15, 2026 • 5:00–7:54 p.m. SLT
Presiding Magistrate: Kelli
Representing Nadia: Lady Kati Evans
Representing Edward: Jessika Roberts
◈◉◈ ══════════════ ◈◉◈
MY OPENING STATEMENT
Presented Nadia’s case as that of a Free Woman protecting her home and person. Explained that she had not invited Edward inside, had objected to his unwanted contact, and had sought assistance when he refused to leave.
Asked the court to consider whether a Free Woman could safely open her door in Turmus, and why Nadia would have raised the alarm if she intended to seduce Edward.
MY QUESTIONING OF NADIA
Asked Nadia to describe the encounter from the beginning, including where she and Edward stood, how he entered her home, and what happened afterward.
Nadia testified that Edward walked past her into the kitchen without an invitation and removed his boots. She clarified that he did not push or shove her, as there was enough room to pass.
She stated that she asked him to leave, but he ignored her request. According to her testimony, he touched her cheeks and lips, tugged her clothing, and pulled her closer. She slapped his hands away and struggled out of his hold.
Nadia described warning Edward that she would call a guard. She testified that he threatened to tell the guards she had invited him inside. She then went outside with her broom and called for assistance.
Magistrate Kelli cautioned me against leading the witness while I was clarifying the distance Edward had entered the kitchen. Returned to asking Nadia what happened next.
Finished my questions and requested permission to recall Nadia after Edward’s testimony. No explicit decision on that request was given in the recorded proceedings.
THE DEFENSE’S POSITION
Jessika argued that Nadia invited Edward inside, removed his boots, and attempted to seduce him. She asked the court to release Edward and have Nadia enslaved.
During cross-examination, Jessika questioned Nadia about not seeking a physician, having no Free Companion, and appearing angry rather than sufficiently frightened.
Nadia confirmed that she had suffered no physical injury, but maintained that Edward’s contact was unwanted. She denied inviting him inside or seeking his attentions.
THE SLAVE’S ACCOUNT
Jessika quoted a statement attributed to Tayir. Magistrate Kelli questioned whether the slave had been tortured before her testimony was presented.
Moved to strike and admonish. Jessika acknowledged that she had no proof of torture and agreed to striking her statement about Tayir. No separate, explicit ruling on my full motion appears in the record.
EDWARD’S TESTIMONY
Edward testified that Nadia invited him inside, backed him toward the slave bed, and began removing his boots. He claimed that he objected, warned her about a collar, and was threatened with a call for guards if he refused her advances.
When Jessika asked what words Nadia used to invite him inside, he said she allowed him inside but did not give the actual words of an invitation.
Edward stated that Nadia went outside first and that he followed and waited calmly for the guards. His questioning did not directly address Nadia’s allegations that he touched her face, tugged her clothing, or pulled her closer.
WHERE THE COURT RECESSED
Jessika finished questioning Edward. My cross-examination had not begun when Magistrate Kelli recessed the court until a date he would announce.
Both advocates were instructed to prepare closing statements. No verdict was given.
◈◉◈ ══════════════ ◈◉◈
MY PREPARATION FOR DAY 2
- Ask Edward for the exact words or actions he understood as an invitation.
- Ask what specific conduct he claims amounted to attempted seduction.
- Question him directly about touching Nadia’s face, lips, and clothing, and pulling her closer.
- Establish whether Nadia asked him to leave and how he responded.
- Clarify where he stood inside the kitchen and when he moved toward the slave bed.
- Clarify what he claims Nadia wanted him to do when she allegedly threatened to call the guards.
- Ask for a decision on my request to recall Nadia, if further testimony is needed.
- Prepare my closing statement around the testimony and evidence accepted by the court.
Keep the focus on whether Edward entered without permission and touched Nadia against her wishes. Clearly distinguish what each party testified from what the court has actually established.

[17:11] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "That said, for the understanding of all present the trial shall proceed in the following order.

[17:15] Kati Evans: "Thank you, Sir"
“Magistrate, the evidence will show that Lady Nadia was a Free Woman protecting her home and person. She did not invite Edward inside, objected to his unwanted contact, and sought assistance when he refused to leave. Her actions—including taking up a broom and raising the alarm—were efforts to protect herself and her home.
Through Lady Nadia’s testimony and the evidence accepted by this court, I will ask you to consider two questions: Can a Free Woman open her door safely in Turmus? And if Lady Nadia intended to seduce Edward, why did she raise the alarm?
Any claim that her conduct justified enslavement must be examined against the specific acts established by the evidence and the laws of Turmus.”
[17:20] Kati Evans: Sir, do you want to add anything to my opening statement or shall I continue by callin Nadia to be questioned?
[17:21] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): The charges of the man Edward(EdwardK3nway) entered into the home of Lady Nadia(nadiastorm) with unwanted affection. Are accepted by the court.

[17:25] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "Then bring it forth Lady Kati

[17:27] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): We will have her take the stand when the time for witnesses is this is the time for opening statements and bringing forth evidence Lady Kait.
[17:28] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): Kati
[17:28] Kati EvansKati Evans nods "My apologies"
[17:29] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): Are you finished with your opening staement Lady Kati?
[17:29] Kati Evans: Yes I am Sir.
[17:31] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "Now we go to the Advocate of defense, Lady Jessika you ma now give your opening statement and any evidence not witnesses. at this time."
[17:32] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) nods and clears her throat, then begins to speak, slowly and carefully
[17:32] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): Thank you, sir magistrate. This man before you, sir Edward, is accused of a crime he didn't commit by Nadia, a woman who, in Edward's presence, acted in a slave-like manner by lustfully attempting to seduce him into her bed.
The facts of the case prove themselves, and make it clear the truth of what happened.
On the evening of October 6th, the Turmus woman known as Nadia was found holding a broom outside of her house and yelling for guards. Nearby, outside of her home, was the man known as Edward, standing barefoot.
Nadia was clearly not afraid of Edward. She was not running away from him.
Nor was Edward ashamed of anything he had done. He was not running away.
Instead, it was what appeared to be a spat between two adults ... and a free woman who was upset because a man spurned her sexual advances..
[17:33] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): According to my client's account, Nadia invited Edward into her home and, while he was there, she took off his shoes so he could be comfortable.
Edward was still without his shoes when he and Nadia were discovered together. If he had been ashamed of his actions, he would have put them back on.
The fact that he was barefoot helps prove the matter.
Nadia claims Edward entered her home uninvited and took off his shoes. That seems extremely unlikely. Only a man addled in the head would do such a thing, and Edward is an honorable man who is very intelligent.
[17:34] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) shook her head after hearing the defense statement. Kept her calm composure..
[17:34] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): Edward is a traveler. Hailing from the north, he books passages on ships, working for his fare, and visits many different lands. Would a man like that not have a good head on his shoulders and know how to behave around women?
Nadia clearly invited Edward into her home, and this woman removed Edward's shoes to help make him comfortable.
She then attempted to seduce Edward into her bed ... behaving lustfully toward a stranger, like a wanton slave attempt to convince her Master to take her sexually and use her like a sensuous beast.
Edward told her that he might collar her ... a statement of truth, for Nadia deserved the collar for her actions that evening, actions that no free woman would ever commit unless she desired a steel necklace around her neck.
In response, Nadia realized the error of her ways, and she grabbed a broom and yelled for help from the city guards.
[17:35] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): When people approached, Nadia claimed that Edward had attempted to assault her. Her own actions prove otherwise.
If Nadia had been assaulted, then she would have been afraid of Edward, and would have run away from him the moment she had a chance.
Instead, Nadia, a mere woman, stood around with Edward, unafraid, holding nothing but a broom in defense.
Surely everybody here knows that a weakling woman could not hold a man off with simply a broomstick? It would have been so easy for Edward to grab the broom away and assault Nadia, but Edward did not, for he is an honorable man.
Instead, Edward, innocent of the charges against him, calmly remained at Nadia's home, prepared to face anybody who arrived.
[17:36] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): And so we have today ... a woman who lustfully attempted to seduce a man into her bed ... a woman deserving of the collar ... and a man wrongfully accused of assault, a crime he didn't commit.
I ask the magistrate to release this man and arrest this woman, enslaving her and either giving her to Edward as his property or transferring her to a Turmus slave house.
Thank you. The matter is in your hands.
[17:36] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) still compose by the fabricated words being said. Still no reaction made by her.. Looking to her Advocate in disbelief..
[17:37] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) looks at Edward and nods gently, having spoken her opening statement, and prepares a scroll to give to the magistrate.
[17:38] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Looks and hears the movement about. Giving a nod to Jessika, Then back to Nadia staring toward her for just a moment and shakes my head. Eyes lock back to Kelli. Standing respectfully.
[17:41] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "We have heard both sides opening statements it is time for the Plaintiff's advocate to call forth their witness. After which if the Defense wishes to cross-examine they may do so after the witnesses final say."
[17:44] Kati Evans: Sir, I would like to ask Lady Nadia questions at this time, with your permission.
[17:44] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "You may proceed, Lady Kati."
[17:45] Kati Evans: Lady Nadia, Please tell the court your name and your standing (visitor, resident, or citizen) in Turmus.
[17:46] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) stands patiently on the stand awaiting her advocate questioning.. As the Magistrate give her the permission to continue.." My name is Nadia, a citizen of Turmus advocate Kati.."
[17:47] Kati Evans: On the day in question, where were you, and what were you doing, when you first saw Edward?
[17:48] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) heard the question and respond.." I was at my dwelling just finish super an emptying my wash basin outdoors.."
[17:49] Kati Evans: Where was Edward standing when you first saw him?
[17:49] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " He was on the bottom of my stairway to my entrance to my home.."
[17:49] Kati Evans: What did you say to him?
[17:50] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " I said he startle me, and ask what brought him to my doors.."

[17:51] Kati Evans: Was there anything else you talked about?
[17:52] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " Aye, we spoke about my homestone where i was born and his travels.."
[17:53] Kati Evans: What happened next?
[17:55] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " He continued about talking, we exchanged names and thats when he moved closer to me on the stairway. Said my name was a good one. Then he ask if I was free companion after other travel conversations.."
[17:56] Kati Evans: Did you continue to stand there talking or did anything happen at that point?
[17:57] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " While I was asking him what bring a northerner to Turmus. He walked passed me on the stairs into my home, then remove his boots in the kitchen.. I continued standing there in amazement.."
[17:58] Kati Evans: Please describe where you were standing in relation to the doorway. When this happened?
[17:59] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " I was standing on the top of the stairs, the entrance to the kitchen.."
[18:01] Kati Evans: That mean you were standing in front of the doorway, when he went through, is that correct?
[18:01] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " Aye advocate Kati, correct"
[18:02] Kati Evans: Did he push you to get past you or give you a shove out of the way as he went into the kitchen?
[18:03] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " No, the passage way is wide enough to pass advocate Kati.."
[18:05] Kati Evans: How far into the kitchen did he go? For example using the distance between the two of us; was he this distance from the door or further into your home?
[18:07] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) remained calmed. But the advocate questions made her uneasy to relive it.." Edward was not far inside the kitchen from the door, a broom length away, from where I am to you, but a little further .." she gestured with her hand
[18:09] Kati EvansKati Evans turns and takes another step away, more like this distance into your kitchen then from the door?
[18:09] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) looked at Kati distance.." Aye, a little closer.."
[18:09] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "Take care Lady Kati that you do not lead the witness."
[18:10] Kati Evans: What happened next?
[18:12] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " After asking him to leave and he telling him he was rude to enter my home uninvited. I close the door a bit to get the broom from behind the door.. He continued speaking, ignoring my request to return where we first met. He complimented my home"
[18:14] Kati Evans: After you asked him to leave, what followed?
[18:16] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " I told him, I cannot entertain a man that was not my mate And I may be subject to a collar if caught. He moved closer to me, then caress my cheeks and lips and tugged my dress."
[18:17] Kati Evans: So at this point what do you do now?
[18:20] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " I slapped his hands away, and he pulled me closer. I fight and wiggles out of his hold.. Moving to the door, I said you dare touch me, picked up your boots and leave my home. He didnt comply.. I told him Ill be forced to scream if he didnt leave.."
[18:22] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " After getting closer to the door he at a safe distance, he said if I called a guard. His exact words was " scream lady and I will tell them you open the door and invited him in.."
[18:22] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Raises a eyebrow at Nadia knowing fully well how the events truelly happened. He remains silent. once hearing that he shook his head.

[18:37] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) " As he came up the stairs as I await a guard. She said she wasnt a guard but an advocate and her name is Jessika. Thats when Edward started spewing lies to her about what had transpired. Lady Jessika nodded, then the Ubara came.."

[18:41] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) looks to Kelli and nods. "That was fully described in the incident report, sir. I was not a witness to the incident itself, so I have no conflict of interest. Instead, I simply arrived after it was over, and heard what both parties had to say ... which I included in the report and filed with the magistrate's office.
[18:43] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): files through the scrolls before him and reads over the report again
[18:45] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "It appears it is here wirrten before me in the reports I will let it continue. However, Lady Kati time is getting of the essence please finish your questioning as soon as possible. So we can allow the defense their opportunity."

[18:48] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "Lady Jessika you may call your witness."
[18:48] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) gazes at Kelli. "May I not cross-examine Lady Nadia, sir?"
[18:48] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Looks back to everyone Hope that they had dinner before coming. as finally Kati finishes.
[18:51] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) stands straight before those gathered, her hands folded calmly before her. Her voice remains measured, neither shrill nor angry, but carrying clearly across the chamber, looking at the defense advocate, as she asked about questioning..
[18:59] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) leans over and whispers into her advocate ears.." Seems nacrolepsy took over the defense.."
[18:59] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) looks toward Kelli, awaiting permission to question Nadia
[19:00] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): Is she the witness you wish to call forth Lady Jessika? "
[19:01] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): Yes, good Magistrate. After cross examining Nadia, I will wish to question my client.
[19:02] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): Very well permission granted. Please try to make the questioning to the point."
[19:02] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) turns to Lady Nadia ... good lady, did you seek out a physician after your encounter with Edward?
[19:04] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) stands tall and proud, shoulders squared and chin held high" No advocate Jessika, no need, I was not hurt. He only touch my cheeks and lips and tugged my clothing.."
[19:05] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) nods. "So you are saying he did not assault you, but only touched your cheek and tugged your clothing? You are saying you were not harmed by my client?"
[19:07] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) listened and made a grimace countenance.." I am not sure what your asking advocate Jessika. If a man enters your home and touched you, when you did not reciprocated. Is that not assault?"
[19:08] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) nods. "I also see it as assault and I believe that any woman who was assaulted in such a manner would have sought out a physician afterward for examination ... but you did not, and that is strange." *pauses* "Do you have a free companion, lady Nadia?"
[19:10] Nadia (nadiastorm): /me" I see what your saying. But why would I go to a physician, just because. I was not hurt, but i was touched unwantedly.. No I do not have a mate. But what does that have to do with anything?"
[19:11] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): Are you not lonely at times, lady Nadia? You have no free companion, so isn't it possible, lady Nadia, that a single woman such as yourself might have desired to seduce this man, to bring him into your home and perform sexual acts?
[19:13] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Eyes look to Jessika hearing what is being said and then turns to nadia Wondering what is going through that skull.
[19:13] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) smirks to her words.." I get lonely lady Jessika. But I wont pursue sir Edward lady, look at him.." she points with her hand at Edward.." I am sure there is better looking suitors here to show heat too.. To answer your question, no I was not in heat.I spoke with the man, as one might speak with any other. I did not court him, proposition him, nor give him leave to believe that I sought his attentions.."
[19:14] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) nods at Nadia's words. "Moving forward, according to a witness at the time, you did not seem very afraid of Edward. You seemed angry at him, possibly because he spurned your advances, but you did not seem very afraid. I am going to quote the slave Tayir, who was a witness after the incident. During an interview, she said, "The mistress seemed frightened, Mistress - though more angry and upset."
If this man assaulted you as you claim, lady Nadia, wouldn't you have been terribly afraid of him ... and not just angry and upset?
[19:15] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "Hold Lady Jessika has the slave been brought before a torturer?
[19:16] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) gazes at Kelli. "I requested as such of sir Aries, but I have not heard back if that was done with the slave."
[19:17] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) listens.." No disrespect advocate Jessika, but I wa snot born in the south. I am a torvie woman, and if I wasnt in the south. My hair claw would have been his throat. So pardon me, if I am terrified by a man that can compete for my best hairstyle contest. Aye I was angry, angry I showed kindness to be assaulted.."
[19:17] Kati Evans: move to strike and admonish
[19:20] Kati EvansKati Evans looks toward Magistrate Kelli.
[19:21] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): Looks to the Lady Jessika "I asked you a question. I have no scroll here before me that shows the slave was tortured.
[19:23] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): As I said, sir Kelli, I requested as such of sir Aries, that he would torture the slave, but i have not heard back whether that was done so. Therefore, I have no proof that the slave in question was tortured.
[19:24] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "And yet you try to bring the slave's testimony before the court, knowing that a slave's testimony cannot be accepted save for torture?"
[19:24] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Sighs and still remains standing as he hears the blind man. Then the magistrate speaks and he looks back to the man.
[19:25] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): I have observed different behaviors in different courts regarding that issue. I will accept striking my statement about the slave Tayir from the record, and will be satisfied to move on with the questions of Nadia.
[19:26] Kelli Gяєyℳooη:-Rizzo (kellygr5): "Lady Jessika I would ask that you bring Edward forward if you wish to continue I beleive LAdy Nadia has answered enough questions."
[19:27] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): Sir Kelli, I have not finished my questions of lady Nadia, but I will do as you say and bring forth my client for questions. *At saying that, she steps back from the podium and motions Edward to stand*
[19:28] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) was getting weary standing so long.. Green hues widen as the magistrate direct his questions to advocate Jessika.. She waited to hear Edward side of events..
[19:28] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): Sir, please state your name and the location of your home
[19:31] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Smiles and nods. I am Edward, Home is merchant ship of the Thassa. I do not know of my family or true home other wise I was told I was born in the Northern villages. But my life has always been on a Merchant ship.
[19:31] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) nods. "Sir Edward, how did you first encounter the woman Nadia?"
[19:33] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Looks to Nadia as he speaks. I met Nadia working her pad the her home with the broom in hand. Cleaning it seemed. But it started as just a tour of the city.
[19:33] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) nods. "Did lady Nadia immediately tell you that she desired to have sexual conduct with you?"
[19:35] EdwardK3nway: No she did not. I arrived and offered my greetings, That i was a visitor. Showed her i was unarmed and commented on her beauty with the choice of clothing that she had. She replied that i was very handsome, her advance came after of a long time of speaking to each other.
[19:37] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): You said in your account that she invited you, a man she had just met, into her home. How did you react to her invitation?
[19:38] Nadia (nadiastorm)Nadia (nadiastorm) thinking to herself. So much hot looking Turmus man to invite this man into her home..
[19:40] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Nods her Invite seemed well polite and out of respect. I felt that it normally against the laws to allow a un-companioned man into ones home. But I still allowed my self to be brought into her home.
[19:40] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts)Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts) nods "I would like to read to you your testimony as compiled in the incident report. You said, and I quote, "The lady here invited me in her home. Took my shoes off to wish to seduce me into her bed, closed the door and everything. I being a man did tell her I could collar her and suggested she called the guards cause she said they will take her word over mine" *pauses* "Is this a true statement of events, sir?"
[19:42] EdwardK3nway: Yes it is true. There is a few missing parts as I just went to get to the point. As before she went to seduce me, But the missing parts is more is how much she enjoyed it when i Commented how well her kitchen was laid out.

[19:45] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway She allowed me inside, I went to the back of the kitchen to give as much space as she arrived inside the room. I made clear to her that her kitchen was well designed placed and look lovely. After that she wanted to know more about me. Speaking for several mins she backed me up to the slave bed. and started to remove my boots. That when i objected and told her about the collar and tryed to stop her for her protection.
She threaten that the city will take her side over mine and will scream to call the guards if i refused.
[19:46] Jessika Roberts (jessikaroberts): Tell me, sir, honestly ... do you think a woman like Nadia who invited you into her home for sexual conduct should remain a free woman? Or should she be collared and serve as a slave?
[19:47] EdwardK3nwayEdwardK3nway Looks and Smiles. That is not for me to decide, IF the magistrate or leaders of your city to decide.

A guilty man would of ran, A attacked woman would of ran northern or not. a woman is still a woman. Just cause a woman is northern does not make her any more unique than a southern lady. Forgive me Magistrate if i over step.
