“Lies!”Little Momo’s mother yelled out as she stood up. “My daughter never did such things!”
I turned and looked up at her and sneered: “She never did!? Why try to cover it up? I have more witnesses and people you threatened to back up my claim than you have as alibis. You wish to cover up everything, but you forget the paper trails, and the lips of those around you are easily pried open with a bit of coin. I may be young, but I am actually quite wealthy. All I needed was to give a bit of money for testimony and promise the safety of them and their family. Which I can do.”
“You! What can words from so long ago prove!? As long as the verdict has already passed, nothing can be done about it!” The woman was so flustered that she had already spilled the beans. I sighed at her stupidity as I watched her husband stand up and slap her. “Stupid woman!”
“You hit !? You actually hit !?” The woman yelled out, only to be slapped once more.
I sneered and turned back to the judge and asked: “So what now? She has already basically confessed that the daughter she calls Little Momo had killed others. What does it matter if she also died now? Isn’t this Karma?”
“We can not take your words as truth! So it will not be added to your defense. The fact of the matter is that you have already confessed to killing the noble children, so you have no defense left.” The lead judge spat out.
“Oh? Is that so? Then let’s do this. Since you are going to convict anyway with that indifference of yours and inability to care about what actual justice is. Why don’t I take justice into my own hands? You will not listen to a word I have to say and will always side with those you have made dealing with.” I said with a smile, but before I could do anything, the lead judge’s face went red with anger.
“You dare sully my na now!? This is the court of law! Everything we say and do is just!” The lead judge yelled out.
I ignored him, grabbed the tal chains binding , and ripped the tal cuffs off my wrist and ankles, to everyone’s surprise. I stood there and rubbed my wrists as I looked up at the judges. His expression showed just how surprised he truly was. I guess he never believed I was strong enough to do this. But I could care less about his thoughts at this mont: “Diablo, seal the room!”
“Yes, master!” Diablo’s voice echoed in the hall before he even appeared.
A heavy pressure suddenly fell over the court. At the sa ti, Bell used my call as her cue to co out of her space and sit on top of my head with her chin raised high. “In this world, the stronger you are, the more say you have in the world. In This courtroom right now, I am the strongest here. So let ask you sothing. How corrupt are you?”
As I asked this question, I used a new technique I learned from Diablo that it seems only dragons can do. It’s called Dragon Speak. Basically, I infuse mana into my voice, and it sends a suggestive signal to the target, and it will cause them to answer or do anything I say to them. To be honest, it was quite overpowered. But I was able to make Lance dress and dance like a girl out in the garden while I was practicing it. But now, for so reason, he refuses to speak with .
The judge’s expression went blank. His eyes lost all life as he stared at . “I have convicted over three thousand one hundred innocent people for cris they never committed after receiving paynts from high ranking nobles. I have snatched girls of age from their hos and made them give birth to many children. I have protected nobles for the sa reasons as well as covered up other various cris such as murder and human trafficking.”
The judge kept saying all his cris out loud for all to hear, causing people’s eyes to open wide. He was even naming the people he was involved with, causing them to stand up and shout out that he was lying and saying he was trying to take them down with him. While this was going on, the other two judges next to the lead judge kept trying to stop him, but there was nothing they could do. He was under the effects of my dragon speak. The only judge not caring about what was going on sat at the end with his eyes closed as if none of this had anything to do with him. He went on for almost thirty minutes before he finally went quiet.
“I see! I see!” I suddenly yelled out. The lead judge’s eyes soon gained their life back, and he stared at in horror. I looked at him with my lips curled up as I said: “A corrupted judges panel is not sothing this kingdom needs. All the people you nad today are nobles this kingdom does not need. As of this mont, every noble nad by him is now no longer a noble. Your house, your land will be reclaid by this kingdom.”
“You! What right do you have!?” A marquess yelled out as I turned and looked up at him while narrowing my eyes. “What, right? My right is the fact that I have the power. Do you not see the man standing next to , making you sweat under his pressure? Do you not see my cute Little Bell on top of my head? As of this mont, my words are law. And soon, you will also spit out all your dirty deeds. Diablo, each noble on that list, make them say out their na and then secure them.”
“Yes, Master!” I could see Diablo’s lips curl up into a devilish grin.It seed he was happy to finally get to do sothing demon like for once.
“To all in the audience right now, let tell you that this trial was a lie. Even if I was convicted of a cri, it would never even do anything to because there is no one in this kingdom who can keep here. But I do not wish to leave this kingdom because I love it. I was born here and raised here. And I will be damned if I will allow anyone here to ruin such a great kingdom.”
“Well said!”
