CHAPTER 488: CHAPTER 488 - THE MATTER OF THOUSAND DRAGONOIR’S [ PART 2 ]

I don’t believe that people are good or bad. They can’t be any one part, there really isn’t a word for it or one that comes to mind.

We are like free flying butterflies that roam around wherever we want. Some want to go towards the blinding light, some to the free blazing fire.

SO I might be one of those that goes to the free blazing fire, you can’t blame me. I’m just trying to be me.

And somehow, it seems that having your own freedom to do things is not what people like nowadays... huh, they sure won’t like what the future generation will do.

Let’s get back to topic, I fucked up and now I was being taken to the queen and the whole kingdoms fucked up rich families.

What would be the correct thing for me to do now, someone like me, a criminal overlord or gang leader?

It would be to not admit defeat, plead and continue pleading until it would seem like my whole existence up to the crime is a lie.

But I’m not gonna do that... why you ask?

Because when you’re having an affair with the beautiful (crazy) queen of the kingdom, life could change in very interesting ways.

Like they say... Goddess is Good!

"-do you have anything to say for the crimes named against you?"

I hear Harry ask me and with my obviously Oscar level acting skills, I say...

"I Plead Guilty!"

"Hah!"

That... was a collective gasp from all the noble bitches around me.

I could see my words coming as a ballbuster like smash to them as some even took out their hand fans and started hastily cooling themselves.

FYI, it wasn’t hot here. There were water and ice sigmat users around that kept the place cool like AC, without the bad effect to the environment.

I look at Harry, the guy didn’t have a change to his face except that his straight brow, bend a bit... that seemed an achievement.

Then I look to Fang Bang who I’m sure is surprise-

’Why is she rolling her eyes?’

"So you admit to all the crimes that bare against you, then?" Abigail asked, with a hint of boredom.

"Yes, your gracious majesty, I do admit my gui- cough cough," I stop myself from doing anything stupid, "Wha- what other crimes are you talking about?" I raise a brow.

A small smile arrived on Abigail’s face, "Oh? So you don’t know or... you have other crimes that you have not admitted to, is that right."

"Cough Cough... you jest, my queen." I give a smile, praying in my mind that her games wouldn’t dig me any deeper.

"Hm... if you say so." Abigail’s smile wiped from her face and she turned to Harry, "Harry, would you be kind enough to state the crimes that Lord Henry here has been accused of, the ones that have surfaced to this court."

My face breaks into a sweat again.

’I can’t tell if she is playing or really does want to put me in the slammer.

’

’You know when I implied that having a sexual connection with someone who has direct ties to your cases verdict is a great thing... scratch that.’

’It could very well be your downfall.’

"The Crime of Henry Van Tax is as follows-" Harry’s voice broke me from my thoughts as I look at him, "-He has killed massive number of friendly troops belonging to the Dragonoir Family."

"To understand the crime, I must first tell you the circumstance leading to it." Harry said in a serious tone, "Two Months Ago, Lord Henry Van Tax took leave from his Academy, Leon High to go towards Whitedon City."

"As he reached there for personal reasons." Harry said seriously, not bringing any light to it, "He found himself coming upon a stage where the fight against Bandits came to a boiling point."

"As we all know, The Whitedon City’s rulers, The Religias House is an upstanding and righteous house that has always been strong against the kingdom’s enemies and has remained impertial to political matters, being the ever tall guardian."

"For long they had problems with bandit groups that roamed around their region and hid amongst the heavy forests. The Religias House has fought and defended the kingdom against this threat for decades until the recent time."

Harry didn’t need to take a breather as he continued, "The bandits had remained scattered since their very beginning. Somehow they found themselves together and joined as whole under the rule of their leader titled The Bandit King, Oricon."

"His power came to a quick end as he led an un-unified fight against the Religias’s and was captured."

"But the fight didn’t end there as they learned there was a huge force backing them. Finding the situation dire, the Religias House called upon for help which many houses answered, which connected the Dragonoir House to the cause."

"Then they led the final fight against the Bandit groups, where they were able to finish them off and finally cut off the bandit threat that roamed the city of Whitedon and our kingdom in whole."

Now Harry took a break before speaking, "This is the moment where Lord Henry comes in."

"He, amongst other noble houses had come to help the Religias in cutting off the Bandits... and had a big hand in killing their next leader, the son of Oricon, Orion."

A few murmurs went here and there.

"But it was at that fight that Lord Henry, in his own words, had to use his ultimate strength against the inevitable menace and finish him off for good." Harry’s eyes looked at the standing nobles.

"He gave a full power punch that killed the Bandit King Orion and wiped out thousands of Dragonoir Soldiers in the process."

"What!"

"How is that possible?!"

"Killing off thousands of soldiers with just one punch, are we talking about the same boy here?!"

As expected, many people expressed their minds. They couldn’t believe that someone like me could kill so many people like that.

All of them looked at me as their scissor like gaze sized me up, trying to dissect my body and understand how the fuck was that possible.

"Oh, I get it. He used a sigmat ring!" A guy said as he slammed his palms together.

"Of course he did, that was already taken in mind." One next to him called out, "But even with using a powerful sigmat ring, how can someone so young bring out so much power?"

"Yes, you are correct."

I almost smile hearing them. They thought the result was of me using a sigmat ring... wait till they find out.

"Ahem!"

Harry coughed as the people understood and silenced themselves.

"From what we gathered from others and from Lord Henry himself... it is said that he didn’t... use a sigmat ring at that time."

"WHAT!"

Someone from the Dragonoir’s side spoke out loudly, "TH- That’s impossible!"

I look towards the familiar sound and couldn’t help but smile at seeing my dear friend Peter with his frozen look. His face threatened to break as he pointed a finger at me, "Speak truthfully Tax! You did use the ring, didn’t you?"

"I don’t know how similar you are to your ancestors," Peter spoke coldly, "But you shouldn’t be shameless enough to lie before all the houses before you."

"So I ask, what ring did you use?"
