How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 299

Chapter 299

In this world, the judgment is usually left to the local leader or the denomination. However, in the case of going to the denomination, there is really no ‘answer’, and in most cases, the leader takes care of everything.

The same is true of the present situation. As it is an unprecedented case in which a princess of a country was struck with a sword, the judge is of course the king.

There are no lawyers or prosecutors, and the audience becomes lawyers and prosecutors, giving out their opinions.

In other words, for me, it means that there are no allies except for Lina. There will be people who defend me to check the king, but I should not trust him too hastily.

It’s not that Lina advised me that it would be best to keep her mouth shut. If I just open my mouth, the other side will spit out swear words.

What’s more, the Ters royal family is in a very politically stable situation, with only family affairs being garbage.

Even if it was only a few decades after the great event of the Zeiros Revolution broke out, it was King Friedrich who calmed the chaos.

Even if there is a force to check him like Count Camar, it is not enough to become my ally. He will use me to achieve his goals.

So at first, following Lina’s advice, I kept my mouth shut…

“You dare to slash the princess’s noble face?! She must be executed immediately!”

“That’s right! What was the guy who didn’t even succeed to the title thinking!!”

“Looking at that guy, I think he knows the dignity of the Minerva Empire!”

As soon as I sat down, a number of nobles began to lash out at me. It wasn’t just cursing, but it was enough to make people confused.

I haven’t said a word yet, but I’m going to have you already executed, how dare you slap Hiriya in the face, etc.

I feel like I’m hearing the curses I’ve heard for the rest of my life. Even if I want to hear it through one ear, it’s in my ear! There are only things that stick

‘I didn’t commit murder.’

It was so absurd that it almost made me laugh out loud. Most of the aristocrats who curse at me right now have close ties to the royal family, or maybe they’ll use this opportunity to catch the line.

Do they really know what kind of atrocity Hiriya has committed? If you hear of Hiriya’s atrocities, you can’t wait to see how he will react.

‘Sister Adele…’

I shifted my head to the side, trying to ignore the bath sacks that came into my ears one after another. Adelia, who attended as an exclusive maid, is currently standing behind me.

It’s the first time she’s been in a situation like this, so her sky blue eyes are trembling little by little. Even though she pretends to be calm on the outside, even a cold sweat flows.

Last but not least, Lina, who attended as a lawyer, is sitting next to me. She, too, is expressing her dissatisfaction with her pouring outburst of abusive language.

“stop!!”

A loud cry that puts the already noisy judge(?) to sleep. It was quiet in an instant at the sound of an echo.

The main character of that cry is a middle-aged man on the other side. I’m not sitting on a chair at the same eye level as mine, but on a chair installed at a higher position.

The sky blue eyes were shining sadly, and the light blue beard, which was properly grown, added a profound sense of style.

King Friedrich of the Kingdom of Ters and the biological father of Hyriya and Adelia.

He was the judge in charge of the trial to be held from now on, and was known externally as a romantic.

However, from my point of view, the worst father, who, rather than taking responsibility for his illegitimate child, Adelia, tries to dismiss it as something that cannot be neglected.

Of course, it is impossible to make a good impression from the first impression, and the trial is expected to be difficult in the future.

Because Friedrich was Hyriya’s father before he was the king of Ters.

“Tell me your name.”

Friedrich spoke to me in a solemn voice. Seeing that he is not called a ‘sinner’, he seems to have maintained his neutrality, at least for now.

I got up at his command. Don’t forget to check out some of the main characters as you wake up.

First of all, Hiriya, who was slapped by me, is sitting next to me, a little further away, and his brother and Crown Prince Laos are also sitting there.

Lara seems to have decided that there is no need to show it. Or maybe it’s because I’m raising Onyao, so that I don’t show my dark side.

‘Think of Adelia with that in mind.’

If I had thought a little about Adelia, this division would not have arisen. Of course, if that were the case, she wouldn’t have even met her.

I grumbled inwardly, stood up proudly and looked around. The audience’s gaze is terrifying as they only put their own people in one by one.

Eventually, he caught their gaze and faced King Frederick head-to-head. I feel like my sad eyes are freezing my body.

“Of the famous Ters Kingdom…”

“I don’t need words from my mouth, so just tell me your name.”

Thank you so much. I didn’t really want to do it either.

I bowed my head at Friedrich’s consideration and said my name.

“My name is Isaac Ducker Michel. This is the spirit of Baron Michelle of the Minerva Empire.”

“Isaac Ducker Michel… I see. Red hair is very conspicuous.”

I hear that often. Originally, I would have said something like that, but Lina’s advice came to mind, so I didn’t add it.

As Friedrich’s order to sit down followed, and as I put my buttocks on the chair, he spoke to me in his characteristic solemn voice.

“You must know why you came to this place, and also to the palace of Ters.”

“Yeah.”

“Then let me ask. Are you really the one who slapped Hiriya, my lovely ‘second’ daughter and the second princess of the Kingdom of Tersu?”

As expected. Even though Adelia is in front of her, she dares to emphasize that she is her ‘second’, so it seems that she treats her like no one.

If it was in the past, the trauma would have gone away and I would have left, but Adelia is standing firm behind me.

I can’t break her heart. I pretended to be a little hesitant before answering the question.

“Yes that’s right.”

“King, we need not hear any more!”

“If the sinner has admitted his sin, what more can he need?”

As soon as I admit my guilt, the hyenas rush to me like this is the time.

Even if I wanted to remember each person’s face, it was difficult to remember in detail because they boast so many different looks.

Still, some people who raised their voices from before could be identified. In particular, I must remember that guy with his mustache growing.

“Shut up! Be quiet! You haven’t heard the whole story yet!”

Then one of the audience hurriedly stopped him in a loud voice. He didn’t have jet-black hair like a demon, but a blue-black man with a hint of blue.

Perhaps that person is Count Camar. The center of power that is currently at odds with King Friedrich.

As much as that person uses me, I have to use that person too.

“Looks like complicated things are intertwined. Why don’t you listen to it at least once?”

“Count Camar. Do you think the princess is also at fault?”

“You’ll know that when you hear it. Common sense, unless you have a mental problem, you can’t hit someone in the face for no reason, right?”

Thanks to Count Camar, the judge, who had almost caused a commotion, is quiet again. Even so, the stinging gazes of the nobles toward me are still there.

If I had been a nobleman in the Kingdom of Teres, I wouldn’t know, I must have been a citizen of the Minerva Empire, so I would have shown radical behavior.

Read At https://noblemtl.com

Even if there is an enemy within, there is no element that brings us together as much as an external enemy, even a real threat.

Fortunately, Count Camar is coming forward with common sense.

“Count Camar’s statement is also valid. Then let me ask. Why did you slap my daughter?”

King Friedrich calmly asks a question. He must have known about the circumstances of the war, but the other nobles didn’t know, so he must have asked that question.

Before answering this, he shifted his gaze to the direction where Hiriya was sitting. Whether the timing was good or bad, coincidentally, Hiriya also looked at me.

As soon as she met me face to face, she quickly looked away, but I could see. Dark circles that could not be covered with makeup.

Her former arrogant attitude has disappeared, and her reaction is trembling with fear.

I don’t know how that attitude will affect this trial, but it is important to exclude it and talk about the circumstances before and after.

“I’ll tell you that instead. Actually…”

But now is the time for Lina to step in. What she says directly will make her more reliable and stronger than what I say, and furthermore, she won’t be able to treat other nobles rudely.

What if someone shouts at her words? In that case, it is only giving a cause, so Friedrich must remain still.

The fact that Lina came is nothing like coming to represent the Minerva Empire’s position.

Moreover, you would have noticed that Lina’s existence itself was not a simple tail cutting.

“…what? Is that true?”

“Princess Hiriya, a man with a fiancee…?”

“For what the hell?”

At the same time as Lina’s pleadings are finished to some extent, murmurs rather than commotion fill the hall. Embarrassment and bewilderment settled on the faces of the nobles.

Apparently, Hiriya’s act of trying to steal a man who even had a fiancee was a big mistake from anyone’s perspective. They must have realized that it was Hiriya who provided the clue.

Of course, slap on the cheek is unacceptable. It should be noted, however, that this world is in the Middle Ages.

In a world that values ​​’honour’ above all else, even a small slur can damage the honor of the target.

What if the target was not an ordinary noble but a princess? Usually, these rumors spread among the nobles, but if they spread even among the people, it will grow out of control.

Well, with moderate distortion, you can turn Hiriya into a pitiful woman. It is doubtful whether Friedrich would do such a thing.

“Umm… Hiriya.”

“···Yeah.”

“Is Princess Rina’s words true?”

After hearing all of Lina’s argument, Friedrich asked Hiriya a question. Hi Riya, who was afraid of something with her head lowered, heard what he said and lifted her head.

After raising his head, he glanced at me once, and as soon as he met my eyes, he immediately responded by lowering his eyes.

Then she took a deep breath, pounding her chest, and answered in a trembling but audible volume.

“···Yes, it is.”

As soon as Hiriya admitted, the hall started to roar again. As soon as she admits, the mood shifts in this direction…

“Abama, can I say a word?”

Then, the man sitting next to Hiriya, Laos, raised his hand and asked for a speech.

At that one request, the buzzing that had prevailed in the hall was reduced in an instant, and all eyes were focused on him.

Me and Lina also turned their heads towards him. The corners of his lips that resemble Friedrich’s and that he stands out with his solemnity.

On the outside, he was advocating the image of a craftsman like Leort, but his smile seemed a little uneasy.

“Tell me.”

“Thank you. As you listened to Princess Rina, Hiriya showed a deep interest in Michelle Young-sik, and even courted her. But I think hitting a woman on the cheek just because it was so severe is harsh. Do you think this is correct? Don’t you think Michelle Young-sik’s response is too much?”

is that kid When I heard Laos’ explanation, I was taken aback and my eyes widened.

In my head, I can clearly see Ei waving his hand and running away from home. To that extent, the sophistry of Laos makes no sense from my point of view.

Who paddled Adelia first? It’s absurd to talk about the most important thing without mentioning it.

“Wait a minute. There…”

Just as I was about to open my mouth urgently, Lina grabbed my wrist under the desk and stopped urgently.

Looking at him with an expression of what he was doing, Lina looked at me with a hardened face.

Then she looked around and whispered that only I could hear it.

“I understand what you’re talking about, but don’t bring up Sir Cross if you can.”

“Why?”

“At least, the Teres royals will treat Lord Cross’s existence as ‘non-existent.’

After listening to Lina’s explanation, I understand. Even if I tell you about Adelia’s origins now, they won’t believe it.

Now, King Friedrich is known as a pure man who does not even have a concubine and only looks at one woman.

It is quite unusual to know just how important it is to the king of a country to have descendants.

So here you are revealing that Adelia is Friedrich’s hidden daughter? If that happens, it means that I have nothing to say even if my hair is blown away as an insult to the king.

‘These bastards?’

so it’s even more annoying You can’t drive a single person into the abyss of the abyss, and you’re trying to annihilate their very existence.

“It was overkill, though. Still, slap me on the cheek…”

“To hit the Lady in the face too, it’s clear that her personality isn’t good.”

“I was like that from the beginning.”

Due to the political nature of Laos, the perception that I was originally a garbage began to change.

There are things that wrap around hiriya, but Laos’s words were not at all wrong at first glance.

“Hmm. Hmm. Everyone. Wait a minute…”

“Reena.”

“Listen… huh?”

I stopped Lina right before she defended her. With her eyes wide open, she looks at me.

As she shrugged her shoulders with a smile that didn’t make sense to her, she shut her mouth tightly. Perhaps he noticed what decision I had made.

After a while she backed away and slowly got up from her seat. As I stand up, countless eyes are pouring in from all around me.

I caught my eye, and I slowly scanned the audience, including King Friedrich, before turning my head to Laos.

Laos maintains a relaxed attitude with arms crossed as if to say something.

On the other hand, Hiriya only looks at Laos and me alternately to see what he is afraid of, but the arrogant attitude he had seen before is gone.

“… …”

Finally, looking at Adelia, she only smiles apologetically, and nodding her head seems to respect my decision.

‘Is this a crossroads?’

Will you be left as garbage slapped on the cheek for not being able to control your anger for a moment, or will you take care of the things that will happen in the future?

It fits perfectly with the period Mora was referring to. It’s been less than a month since I slapped Hiriya on the cheek.

But now it’s been a month. I took a deep breath and looked straight at King Friedrich.

“I swear to His Majesty Friedrich, and to the others and the gods. From now on, my words will not lie at all, I will speak only the truth.”

“You don’t even need to go to Luminus-sama. We’ll solve it before that.”

Friedrich replied in a blunt tone. That means I might disappear as the dew of a prison sentence before I tell the truth.

desired sea. If I disappear as the dew of death, the Kingdom of Teres is immediately striding on the path of destruction.

I smiled inwardly and started to inform one by one about the ‘core’ that Laos had left out.

“It is true that I slapped Princess Hiriya on the cheek. However, she not only insulted my escort knight, but also threw an intolerable swear word towards her mother, calling her a prostitute.”

“What?”

“Is that true?”

“why?”

Another testimony confuses the audience. But Friedrich and Laos did not lose their composure.

As Lina said, it seems that they are intent on treating Adelia as non-existent.

“You probably don’t understand. What conflict between Princess Hiriya and my escort knight Sir Cross caused insults. But it will be a different story if you find out who my escort knight is.”

“Hey. That’s an interesting story. Can you tell us who that woman is?”

Beside him, Laos provokes with a sarcastic tone. I glared at him fiercely once, then met Friedrich in front of me.

He reached out his hand and begged me to tell him. He already knew what I was going to say.

To this, ‘for now’ they responded as they wanted.

“My escort knight Adelia Cross is the son of His Majesty Friedrich Duckerd von Kutchers, the king of Teres Kingdom…”

After that, Laos and Hiriya moved their gaze to the seat where they were sitting and finished their speech.

“The Crown Prince of Laos, Princess Hiriya, and finally Princess Lara’s half-sibling.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a silence like a dead mouse subsided in the hall. Actually, this is a natural reaction.

It is also true that Friedrich is usually known as a genuine man, and as evidenced by that, he has four children.

But suddenly, without any warning, a half-baked child appears?

“Hahahahahaha!! What are you talking about!!”

“Say something that makes sense! What do you mean?”

“Now that I see it, he wasn’t violent, he was just a crazy young man!”

Of course you wouldn’t believe it. Even if you’re not a member of the Teres royal family, you won’t believe it easily.

I stared straight at Friedrich, not paying attention to the sneer that filled the hall. He raises one corner of his mouth to show that he has won.

If I was led as an example with the charge of insulting the king like this, it would be my defeat. But I also have a secret number.

“Everyone be quiet!!”

The room that had been filled with laughter at Friedrich’s comments immediately became silent. However, in the middle, I heard the sound of someone laughing.

Then, Frederick shrugged his chin in a sullen posture, and opened his mouth quietly, taking turns looking at me and Adelia.

“Yes. That escort knight is my child?”

“That’s right.”

“I’m seeing that woman for the first time? Is there any evidence that she is my child? It’s not enough just to look alike.”

Friedrich cut off even the light blue eyes that were the only evidence in advance. I couldn’t help but sigh at his audacity.

But you have to be patient. What I’m revealing now is a bit strange, and even if I make a sudden move, at least it’s not at this time.

You have to build up the build-up step by step and be patient until Friedrich and Laos create a suitable excuse.

“Are you really going to deny it?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. So, may I ask what you think of the insult to my escort knight?”

“Hmm…”

Friedrich thought, stroking his well-groomed beard. Despite Adelia’s origins, the fact that Hiriya was insulted and even paddled is a problem that cannot be overcome.

Padlib is an unforgivable form of verbal violence regardless of East and West. Unless it’s an enemy, it’s often the case that he paddled out of anger and then spread to murder.

In that sense, Hiriya’s pad lip is at a level that can’t be said even if it’s hit in the cheek. But here a problem arises.

“I’ll have to listen to Hiriya’s side about this. Hiriya.”

“Yes, yes. Abama.”

Hiriya, who had been sitting like a squirrel until now, gently raised her head.

As I lifted it, my eyes met, and I flinched as if I was looking at some kind of monster. Why the hell are you doing that?

In any case, she crept up from her seat and faced Friedrich. She has covered it with makeup, but her face, which has become haggard in the past few days, stands out.

“Oh… how did the princess…”

“Because I broke my heart and was slapped in the cheek.”

“I’m so sorry.”

Nobles, especially noble ladies, reacted with regret as she looked like a pitiful female lead that would appear in a drama.

It’s an added bonus that she’s pouring evil glances at me. After all, that gaze is now dull.

But, since it’s a broken heart, I laugh out loud at the unreasonable noise of dogs.

“Is that person correct? Saying that you insulted that person’s escort knight.”

“Uh, that’s…”

Hiri, who keeps glancing at me without trying to talk. She slapped her on the cheek and revealed that she was Xenon, so maybe she cares.

Will it move according to the script that the Teres royal family has planned in advance, or will it show unexpected and unexpected behavior?

I and others awaited her answer. Then, after a few seconds passed, she opened her mouth, as if she had captured her heart.

“Mommy, I didn’t insult you. It was just an argument…”

“A quarrel? What kind of quarrel was it?”

“Let’s get along well from now on, but the person to serve may change…”

“Wow…”

I’m just admiring It’s the same as being ignorant, but it’s a word that turns herself into a woman blinded by love.

It is enough to instigate a denial of Adelia’s existence, and the audience also believes in it.

“Princess Hiriya. I swear to Luminus, is that true?”

Lina was also embarrassed, so she pressed Hiriya with a somewhat exasperated tone. Hiriya wonders if the pressure is acting or if she is being stabbed too.

Lina then looked at Adelia, who was standing behind her, and asked in an elegant and powerful voice.

“Lord Cross. Is what Princess Hiriya said is true? Don’t feel burdened, just tell the truth.”

“… …”

At Lina’s insistence, Adelia looked at me with a slightly hardened face. I responded by nodding her head at her worried expression.

There’s nothing she’s afraid of anyway. As much as she was denied her existence once again, anger would boil rather than regret.

“Absolutely not. Princess Hiriya said this to me. Why is an unrooted b*tch beside him? My mother said that she was a prostitute, and she said that I had no right to be by her side.”

“Did you say such harsh things?”

“I don’t think I’m lying…”

“Hey, nonsense! That must be a made-up story too!”

It is a reaction that does not easily believe Adelia’s testimony whether the image that the Teres royal family has built up is quite good.

If they believe in Adelia’s birth here, they’ll understand, but they won’t. This is also thanks to the image built up by King Friedrich.

Even though he swore to the gods, the oath is only effective in the sanctuary or temple, and has no meaning in this kind of trial.

As seen in any other trial, it is a kind of oath made by the accused or the witness to the judge.

“Everyone is quiet! We need to listen to that knight. This time, let me ask a question.”

Again, there was someone who calmed the chaos of the judge, Count Camar, whom I had been keeping my eye on.

Count Camar is also a strong wind among the nobles, and the audience becomes silent in an instant at his word.

Then he let out a long nose and asked Adelia in a stern voice.

“Did you say Adelia Cross? I’m going to ask you. Are you sure there’s no lie in what you just said?”

“I swear to Luminus-sama, for sure.”

“Hmm… Then, was there any minor conflict before that?”

Sadly, Count Camar also doesn’t seem to believe in Adelia’s birth. Even so, believing in something understandable can lead to severe headwinds.

Adelia glanced at Hiriya at the question of a minor conflict. She then let out a suffocating breath, and she answered in a scruffy voice.

“…we had battles before. And I won.”

“How did you win?”

“I think not doing your best is an insult to the royal family.”

Her testimony contains various meanings. He made Hiriya’s skills into a narrow-minded person by sneaking down on him.

It was the best answer that Adelia could give at the moment, and except for the birth, it can add probability.

“Such an arrogant… You must have done some stupid tricks!”

“How ashamed Princess Hiriya must have been. She must have wanted to show off her handsome face in front of the man she likes.”

“By the way, did you just insult me ​​with it? Is she different from the usual Princess Hiriya?”

“What else is there?”

It’s better to keep your arms bent inward and crayfish, and the audience doesn’t readily believe Adelia’s plausible words. Rather, she was busy denigrating her or comforting her hiriya.

Lina was also working hard to defend herself, but one decisive ‘evidence’ was missing, so she was standing still. Yes, it is too risky for Lina to directly mention the birth of Adelia.

It was like an implicit rule formed between the royal family. Moreover, if the relationship between the two countries worsened, there was nothing good about it.

“But if that escort knight is really the son of His Majesty Friedrich…”

“It makes sense, but it’s absurd. Do you know how much the two of you love each other?”

“Well, since Princess Lara, I’ve been taking care of myself.”

“But if that’s not the case, there’s no reason for all this…”

Fortunately, the rice cakes I had sprinkled before were slowly starting to grow. The audience also seems to doubt that the whole story of the incident has a deep connection with Adelia’s birth.

But this is not the view of the terres dynasty. Friedrich shouted as there was an atmosphere of doubt about his relationship with Adelia.

“Everyone is quiet! I can’t listen to you any more! Are you daring to harm me and the queen!”

The judge, who had been flustered by the rumors, went into silence in an instant. Insulting the king is a felony punishable by death.

In that sense, Friedrich has more cards to press against me. He looked at me with his bewildered eyes and said in a cold voice.

“Your word of mouth tarnishes my reputation. There is a reason for slapped Hiriya in the face, but it is not acceptable for the knight to call it my bloodline.”

“… …”

“I’d love to hear what you were talking about. This might be the last thing you can say.”

Do I have to choose between having my throat cut off or my tongue cut off? In a way, he is using the authority of the king, but the reality is different.

If it goes on like this, the situation could be adverse to the person himself, so he is blocking them in advance. Originally, once rumors and suspicions bloom, they grow out of control.

I looked around the crowd once after Friedrich’s words, as most of the eyes were on me. Curiosity, worry, anger, criticism, etc.

Various expressions are focused on me. He got up from his seat and spoke in a small way so that everyone could hear it.

“My Majesty Friedrich, I assure you in advance that I have no intention of harming Your Majesty.”

“You’re not going to be offended by talking nonsense like that? It’s funny.”

Laos, not Friedrich, laughed. Not only that, but Friedrich nodded as if in sympathy.

The appearance of trying to annihilate the very existence of a person rather than an idiot. Adelia doesn’t deserve this kind of treatment.

Not only does she have great talent, but she also has an outstanding beauty despite not being well-maintained.

Even if it is not me, a woman who deserves to be loved by other men and my family.

I took a long inhale and exhaled long, then I opened my mouth slowly, facing Friedrich head-on.

“… Her Majesty Friedrich. I repeat, I have no intention of harming you. I am only telling the truth.”

“I don’t need to hear anymore. Hey, that wicked bastard right now…”

“If the.”

I cut in the middle in a powerful voice before Friedrich had finished speaking.

Then he opened his eyes fiercely and spoke in a voice that seemed to contain his anger.

“If the same story is told in Zeno’s biography.”

“What?”

“If a similar story comes out in the upcoming Xenon biography, would you really deny it?”

Friedrich looks at me with an expression of half bewilderment and half bewilderment. This is also true for others.

It must be absurd that the story of Zeno’s biography came out out of nowhere. However, Zeno’s biography is currently being treated as a prophetic book or the Bible.

In particular, it has a reputation for showing situations that could become the ‘future’. In other words, now I’m asking if a similar situation in Xenon’s life would come out of nowhere.

At the same time, Zeno’s biography was written in volume 22. There is no such thing as bluffing to deceive others.

“Will someone in Zenon’s biography be born as an illegitimate child of the royal family, endure harsh abuse and contempt, endure it, and barely meet the companion he loves, but will he really ignore such a tragic story that he will be taken away?”

“Ha! How do you know that?”

“Who are you, you dare to speak like Xenon!”

“Aren’t you afraid of God! You must punish him for blasphemy right away!”

The expected reactions erupted one after another. Currently, the name Xenon is being deified by many people as well as demons.

Read At https://noblemtl.com

Even if it was a noble of the Kingdom of Teres, it was no different. In the pride of being a cultural powerhouse, Xenon should never be taken away and furthermore, it should not be touched.

I can’t help but get angry when I’m using such an existence in my mouth and using it recklessly. Perhaps you could say that I am a madman, or an ignorant ignorant of the subject.

“Are you taking responsibility for those words? Through those words, not only you, but your family and even the empire will shake.”

Friedrich snorted as if he thought my remarks were foolish. From his point of view, it would look like I was walking into hell on my own.

I looked away from him and looked at Lina and Adelia. Lina shrugged her shoulders as if she was doing her own thing, and Adelia had a sad smile on her face.

“I’ve seen countless idiots risking their lives to protect only one woman. It’s really foolish to walk down the path of destruction on your own.”

“At the very least? Did you say that? Sir Cross is like my family. Unlike anyone, I can be trusted to have you by my side, regardless of status.”

“Don’t open your mouth any further. If Zenon had seen this situation in person, he would have cried out in anger. Aren’t you really afraid of God? The world is far wider and more cruel than you think.”

Friedrich giving heartfelt advice as a king and as an adult. He was half-joking, but he probably said something like that because he thought it was pitiful.

“What are you afraid of?”

But contrary to his expectations, I am not afraid at all.

“Who will dare judge me?”

There is no ‘person’ who can judge me.

“I’ve never lied, and even God can’t punish me.”

The ‘gods’ are giving full support for me, and they are sincerely cheering for my future.

“Perhaps you’ll hear me and don’t believe me at all. No, you’ll think I’m crazy.”

I approach Laos with the draft prepared in advance, gently accepting the countless gazes that are being shot at me.

“But for this moment, you, not me, are wrong.”

Before long, Laos and Hiriya put the draft on the desk where they were sitting.

“I didn’t lie at all.”

proudly proclaim

“As proof.”

Anymore.

“I’ll show you that I’m Xenon.”

There is no reason to hide.
