Emperor's Reckoning

Chapter 611: Trial

King Pala furrowed his eyebrows. Despite the glaring eyes that were drowning the young man and killing intent that was cladding his soul, the young man hardly showed nervousness.

Barat, the leader of the Elite Five, noticed the attitude that the young man showed as well. He furrowed his eyebrows just like his king. (This young man… is Lyon Torga?) thought him. One glance was enough to make him swallow his saliva.

He had met and executed many people from his life experiences. There was not a single type of person that he had not met and ended. However, a glance was all it took, for him to understand, to know, what kind of monster the young man standing was.

He bashed the rumors that were surrounding the infamous. Took him one glance to understand that they still underestimate the young man named Lyon Torga.

(What in the devil’s name…) thought Barat before he averted his glance toward Hezar, who was standing near him. (The fool!).

“Hmph!” The king slightly grunted. “Lyon Torga, you are hereby the unforgiven sin that you have committed. You have broken one of the iron rules in Afurnae, bring a shake toward the foundation of this city as the role of neutral ground!”

“This is a grievous criminal act, for you have killed one of my subordinates,” continued the King.

“I don’t think that we should jump to a conclusion here,” a soft voice was heard but enough for it to quell the heavy atmosphere on its own.

The king of the Pala Kingdom furrowed his eyebrows as he took a glance toward the person that dare to interrupt his speech. His eyes narrowed and squinted as he muttered the detestable name with hatred, “Wanda…”

The half-elf half-dark elf raised her eyebrows with a smile. She knew her emperor’s charm was deadly and superior, especially coupled with his strength and indomitable aura.

“I think that you should not jump to conclusion that fast, King Pala,” said Wanda as she smiled not coquettishly but obnoxiously. She knew that the public generally probe about Cherie’s relationship with Lyon, after all, her daughter had openly tried to recruit Lyon even when Hilde and the two princes were there.

The king of the Pala Kingdom furrowed before he pulled a calm breath with his nose. “Is it me, or are you trying to salvage the sin that this detestable young man had committed?”

“My, is that what you think?” Wanda chuckled. “You mustn’t misinterpret my words that way, King Pala, you’re a strong man and I’m just a weak woman, please, by all means, interpret my words as best as for the general public. I mean to say that accusation without evidence is a dangerous path to be traversed but also if we only judge and do not know the full sequence of the story, then we are merely the same as the common mortal.”

(She really has ways with words) thought Cecile before she crossed her arms.

King Pala frowned inwardly but showed his smile outwardly. He must be seen perfect by all cost, though everyone had known how shameless their kingdom was.

“Very well,” King Pala said and nodded. “However, I will say this Queen Wanda, it will be a waste of time since we already know the result and by whom did he die.”

“I agree.”

The conquering tone came from the king of the Golden Dragon Kingdom. He stood up with his eyes naturally looking at the young man below. He had lived for countless years and only the young man there, that was standing, courting all glares, that could not only withstand but conquered back his proud bloodline.

The king of the Sverine Kingdom was about to stand up but his daughter stopped him with a light press against his shoulder. He looked at her and the latter shook her head.

The positions were two against one, Queen Wanda stood alone against the two mightiest of the four. Like the young man below, she stood her ground well. Her status as the queen was not rewarded by marriage, her status as the queen was acknowledged by her people and expert cultivators the like. Smiled like a fairy, deadly as a mantis. One wrong dance, she might cut off your throat.

Hilde was tensed, seeing Wanda, the queen of the Sverine Kingdom, standing her ground, but she neither said that she was backing Lyon nor judging him down. The careful words that she splurted were like a thin thread going through the hole of a tiny needle.

The princess that was famed for her Gae Bolg was worried. Everyone naturally averted their gaze toward them. There was no need to ask why, they need to know their position in this matter. To be with Lyon or to be with the two of the mightiest kingdoms.

The Bolg kingdom might be the weakest in terms of power, but fighting against them would only produce more loss than amicable victories. 

Hilde shook her head before she stood up before her father was. The look of shock came from her parents but she buried her fingers against her palm to calm her nervousness. The bravery caught even Wanda to raise one of her eyebrows.

“I-I think that the death of King Pala’s subordinate is most unfortunate, however, considering the strength that your subordinate had, it would be a matter of course that we should know about the reason behind his death.”

“Huu~” Hilde put her hand on top of her chest. She let out a sigh of cold relief. Sure enough, her heart was thumping.

Wanda took a glance at the young woman before she smiled (She is still young, but she is going the right path).

“I’m afraid young niece, you have no place to speak regarding this matter,” said King Pala as he furrowed his eyebrows.

“The reason is quite simple!” a smirk ensued.

“!!” the leaders immediately looked down.

Everyone’s eyes returned back to the main attraction. He had a smirk on his face already. The obnoxious smile that brought his own demise and fortune.

“Because he attacked me, while I was eating with my wives, my subordinates, basically, my family.”
