A Court for the Coward

He's taken from his daughter without reason. He's placed in countless machines, painfully, to essentially become a machine. He never killed his father, but Ivan still must collect his punishment regardless. It is a new kind of justice, one engineered by former Statesman Lionel Castle. He sees potential in the once-proud land. Since the fall of the United States and its hesitant fostering by Great Britain, the orphan country's populace becomes pastoral, no reason to do anything. But Castle sees better. His new Court of Lions will be the trigger that ignites the respect these old states need. It has to start with one, and that one is Ivan Tiel, young enough and intelligent enough to be the ideal mark in this new game. But unfortunately for Castle, Ivan comes equipped with a fervent sense of free will. Being made into a mechanical prisoner only helps aid his mission for liberation, both for himself and his fellow Lions. But Castle is always five steps ahead. Is it too late for Ivan to find his own justice amidst calamity?
