"He was also in the place of explosion… woah, now I really do believe that he's the criminal." I nod with a smile on .
"I- It's… unbelievable." Arthur said with a lost look.
"Even with telling you." The leader gave a dark look at Arthur that he had to shook his head.
"Yes, I believe now." He nodded, "It was just a bit too… nothing."
"Well, we won't waste our ti any longer." He said and turned around leaving with Lazarus on so guards back.
"Please do make sure he gets the worst punishnt possible." I say.
"I can't promise anything but I know that the judges will decide accurately."
"That's what I'm saying." I wave them goodbye until they disappear from my sight.
"To think that master would be a criminal." Arthur murmured.
"Hm? Master… what do you an by that?" I ask but he ignored and left silently.
'The guy just ignored … well fuck him, it's not like I needed company anyway.'
"HENRY!"
Speaking of company.
I turn around and saw Wilson, Alex and Samantha running towards . More like it was Wilson and Samantha running and Alex jogging. But among the competition, Wilson was the one who won as he asked , "Where were you? We've been searching for you since the start!"
"I was just hanging around with Elisabeth."
"Elisabeth?" Samantha ca forward, "She was with you?"
"Yeah, she left only a while ago."
"Henry, so you were hanging around with her, were you guys caught in the explosion?" Alex asked.
"Nope, only the aftermath of it." Before they could ask anything, I reassure them, "But don't worry. and Elisabeth are completely fine… except for her being a bit dehydrated, we're okay."
"That's good." She nodded then rembered, "I just saw Arthur with you, he looks a bit gloomy though."
"Probably the explosion." Wilson said, "I saw a lot of injured people on the streets, still shooks just thinking about them."
"Well, it could be that… or maybe Lazarus got to him." I murmur.
"What do you an, Henry?"
I look back and smile, "Oh yeah! You guys weren't here to see the spectacle, were you. A while ago, Lazarus was here, trying to kill … again."
"Lazarus!" Wilson said.
"Again!" Samantha said.
"So what happened?"
I tell them the story. To attacking the guards and how he was the real criminal.
"Then the guards left, taking Lazarus with them."
The three were beyond shock. They didn't think that such an explosion would occur on such a happy day and they definitely didn't think that their own weapons instructor would be the bomber.
"That's…"
"Wow…"
"Hm, I might have believed in the wrong teacher." Alex said and thanked , "Thanks for warning about him, Henry."
"No worries. It's not like he wasn't holding a large red flag over him." I say and walk towards our dorm, "But at least now, that crazy guy would finally get punished for the cris he long should have been."
"Yep." Wilson smiled, "Let's see how the principal helps him this ti."
…
To The Present Mont…
Bonaire wrecked his head, trying to find a suitable reason how he's friend was caught in this ss.
Even with multiple students protesting before him, he wasn't the least bit swayed by them. He knew his friend well. He definitely wasn't soone who would do such an atrocity to his own kingdom.
The guy was a diehard fan of his kingdom and would gladly die for the cause. There was no way he could have bombed the capital, killing thousands like this.
There must be soone who had frad him. Soone had already frad him before and that very sa person could do this too.
But would that person really go to such depths to accuse Lazarus?
That was a question, Bonaire worked hard to get an answer for but didn't get one.
"Murderer Lazarus!"
"Bring us his head!"
But the opposition outside was too strong.
Bonaire didn't know how such a head strong protest suddenly started like this nor could he understand how these students hated Lazarus so much.
Because of all the things, Bonaire saw one thing in common with these protestors.
Their hatred for Lazarus was mutual.
They had gathered for the wrong cause but ca together with one mind.
Bonaire sighed and sat back on his desk. Opening a drawer, he pulled out a paper which had sothing drawn on it.
It was a portrayal of three people. Two boys on the side and one girl at the center. While one boy was frowning at the left, the other two were smiling.
Bonaire touched the girls picture.
'I'm sorry, Hana. But this is as far as I could help him.'
…
A few days later…
Inside the Royal Court of the Capital City.
A case was being discussed today and after a long investigation and bickering, the judge was ready to state his verdict.
The judge sitting on his high seat at the head, looked at the criminal for the final ti. Then he raised his gavel and said, "We, the judge and jury of the Royal Court of the Great Leonidas Kingdom, hereby proclaim Lazarus Blackshot Guilty of all the cris he has been accused of."
"So this court, sentenced the Criminal Lazarus Blackshot with the Death Sentence and it will be carried out with three days from today."
"Bang!" The gold gavel hit the gold block, carrying out the judge's sentence.
Lazarus, standing at the defendant's block, stood there with eyes wide as an owl. He was wearing a black jacket with overlong sleeves that was restrained from the back.
He knew his accused cri was quite hard and it would be extrely hard for him to escape from it. Still he had placed his hopes on Bonaire and his remaining friends in the army.
So even if he was judged as the criminal, Lazarus thought, he would escape from it with 10 to 20 years in prison.
But he didn't think that they would give him the death sentence.
"this isn't real… this isn't right… you guys are corrupted." He looked up with eyes of soone crazy, "All of you are corrupted bastards. I hope you all die fuckers, I'll fucking pray to the gods that you lose your balls."
The judge hit the gavel two tis, "Take him away!"
A few guards ca and wrapped a wire around his neck and closed his mouth before taking him away as Lazarus continued on blaming everyone.
While that was happening, I sat at the front bench, smiling at Lazarus's squirming.
'Just as planned.'
…
"It's nice to see you again, sir." Kuino, the receptionist at the Vagrant Palace gave a respectful nod.
"Hey there." I smile, "I need to talk to Agatha, is she free?"
"For you? Always sir." She nodded and got out of her spot, "Let take you there."
She escorted up and stopped before a door in the third floor.
The door had a tag written in gold.
'The Chairman'
Kuino gestured towards the door, "She's already inside, sir. If there isn't anything left…"
I gave a nod as she left.
I look at the door that led to the chairman's office and opened it. Inside was a luxurious office with several pricey ornants and furniture.
Behind a black premium rocky desk sat Agatha. She was working on sothing at her desk.
Hearing the door open, she looked up, her cold eyes turned immaculately warm.
"It's you, Henry. Tell … did you miss ?"
