3. Public Nuisance

Now back to our situation... Ah-moe, the son of Ah-mooe, was the first one of the royal family to be lacking in the intelligence gene, or simply put, plain stupid. (And lazy. And proud. And a trouble-maker... The list goes on, and on, and on, and on... )

Now, you see that Plutonians are divided into two rather extreme ends - the very intelligent, and the, ahem, very stupid, which make up of less than 0.1% of the population. Those who are stupid are condemned to do simple laborious jobs. The Royal Family has always held them in contempt and this made Ah-moe a greater disgrace to them. After many years of cover up (often blotched by Ah-moe himself), the Royal Family couldn't stand the sight him anymore, and sent him to a very distant small town, just to keep him out of their minds.

As you can predict, the townsfolk didn't like him much either, especially with him creating so much trouble, and most of all, pretending to be clever all the time (when he was far from it). They devised a not-so-secret plan and tricked Ah-moe into marrying the fiercest woman in their community (by simply taunting him that he wouldn't be smart enough to marry her), hoping that with her around, he could finally be controlled.

They were dead wrong. It turned out that his wife, Ah-pui, wasn't exactly the type of wife they had expected, one who could keep Ah-moe under control. And a few tumultuous years later, this was where Ah-moe made his ultimate mistake - naming his sons Ah-moo and Ah-mo, instead of Ah-ne and Ah-noe. (Ah-moe had a younger brother named Ah-me.)

After a few years of tolerating the annoying Ah-moe and his even more annoying son Ah-mo, the rather peaceful Plutonians got pretty frustrated. (Remember that one Pluto-year is really quite a long time.) Finally the tolerance of some of the citizens collapsed, and they reported Ah-moe to President Ah-mooe (who had deliberately cut off all contact from Ah-moe all these years).

That's why they were now standing in front of the panel awaiting judgment. Thousands of people have gathered outside the court, anxious of the results (for various reasons)... They have long known that directly defying the founder's laws was a very serious offense, and this is the first time in the history of Pluto that any royalty was to stand trial. But largely, they wanted to see them condemned, punished and humiliated...
