Chapter 45: The Blood-Stained Audience Hall

Although the large-scale fighting was over, things were not over in the palace.

Discussions on how to deal with the situation in the future were necessary. Important ministers, powerful nobles, and necessary related personnel were summoned to the audience hall to discuss everything from the situation to their respective countermeasures.

Ye Kai was also summoned to the hall, even though he had only taken a short nap. But Ye Kai had somewhere else to go. The basic discussion was conducted by the king and his ministers, but when the agenda touched on the invasion route of the Treba army, Ye Kai was also questioned.

"Ye Kai, was it a coincidence that you used wide-area search in the Mirkali Forest?" Klein, who was presiding over the meeting, asked. Klein did not doubt Ye Kai's behavior, but only for information sharing.

"Yes, because that place is a frequented route, and it is customary to conduct wide-area searches to prevent unnecessary increases in magical beasts."

“Well, this behavior doesn’t seem contradictory, but are there any other issues?”

"I have a question." A noble raised his hand and spoke, "Can you prove that you are not a spy for Treba? On that day, did you go to the Mirkari Forest to report the location of the patrol to the Treba Army and avoid being held accountable for this action?"

"I can't prove here that I'm not a spy for Treba. Something that can't be proved has the same reason as a negative proof."

The so-called devil proof.

"Wait, I'll make sure. He's not a spy for Treba."

“But maps are supposed to be strictly managed. Don’t you think it’s more reasonable to suspect that person rather than think that the information was leaked?”

It was a reasonable point, and many of the nobles nodded in agreement.

“What about the spies hiding in Holmt? Those people must be agents of Treba, and they must be involved in part of the plan. If Ye Kai stops them, doesn’t it prove that he is not an agent?”

Grout's point of view was recognized, and the noble who spoke fell silent without rebuttal.

"Then the hypothesis about the invasion route seems to be correct. Let's continue investigating..."

"About the map, how about asking Count Lugia?" Ye Kai interrupted Klein's attempt to continue the meeting.

"What are you talking about, you guy. What did I do?" Count Lugia, who was originally in the corner of the audience room, was startled by the sudden question.

"What did the Treba Empire give you in exchange? At least when it comes to introducing the Treba Army to the country, there is no one else but you."

“This is a groundless accusation! Is there any evidence?”

"At present, we are just judging based on the situation on the spot."

"Please explain, Ye Kai."

The king spoke, and the commotion in the hall gradually died down.

"I looked at the map and found that the only way for the Treba army to enter that invasion route is through the territory of Earl Lugia. They have 20,000 troops. It is impossible to advance without being discovered by the patrols. Did you shut up your patrols? Or did you modify the patrol route?"

"I-I didn't do that! There was no report!"

"I did some research and found that a senior and powerful noble like you should have the opportunity to access the map. Are you the one who leaked the map?" the black-haired boy kept asking.

"Your Majesty! Why do you allow such a child to talk nonsense? Have you forgotten my loyalty?"

"It sounds like what Ye Kai said makes sense. Next you have to prove your innocence."

"……" Count Lugia, who had originally sought the king's support, became the target of questioning.

"You are surprisingly ignorant. If you see the people in the army either confirm or choose not to confirm, you will pretend to be deaf and dumb. Then, let's go ask those people."

Ye Kai immediately unfolded his multifunctional gloves and shot two beams upwards. Someone suddenly fell from the beam in the hall. The hall was filled with screams. The man in black was struggling in pain with blood on his injured shoulder and thigh.

"Ugh! There's no other way! Take the king as a hostage! Kill the one who's in the way!" Count Lugia suddenly changed his expression and shouted loudly.

The two men who had just flown down from the beam tried to approach the throne, but Ye Kai was standing in the aisle.

One person restrained Ye Kai, and the other tried to go around and get closer to the throne, but before he could do so, Ye Kai had already swung his silver claws and his head quickly flew up.

As the head fell to the ground with a dull sound, the chest of another man dressed in black was pierced by Ye Kai's silver claws.

"Who invited you into this hall? I will not let you kill yourself."

Walking to the two kneeling men in black, Ye Kai pulled up one to ask. When he grasped the hand that tried to take out the knife from the hiding place, the knife stabbed into the floor.

There was only the man in black who was suppressing his screams, but in the pain of suffocation, he unconsciously pointed at Count Lugia.

"Count! Bastard!" the king drew his sword and the guards behind him shouted.

"A foolish king who only knows how to squander money on ignorant commoners. A country that despises noble people should get out of here as far as possible. I will restore the kingdom to its original appearance." Count Lugia fantasized with a scornful laugh.

Behind him, a thick murderous aura began to spread, sweat poured out from his back, and he turned his head in fear.

“You want to hurt my relatives?”

The slightly reddish silver claws on his hands became even redder. For Count Lugia, death was approaching. Because the murderous aura was too strong, no one could move.

"Ah! Woo--!" A mournful cry came from the man sitting down.

At this time, the only people who could barely move were those who were close to Ye Kai. Klein and Graud surrounded him from both sides, and the king opened his arms to block Count Lugia.

“Stop killing, Ye Kai.”

"Please, hand him over to us! There must be a formal trial! Otherwise, Holzlein will not be considered subject to the law!" The king pleaded, and Ye Kai lowered his right hand that was raised to pierce Count Lugia.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. You have a little more time to live."

"Your Majesty! This monster must be dealt with immediately! It poses a threat to the kingdom!"

"Shut up! You people, I will behead him now with my own hands! But you will judge. I will let him die officially."

The words echoed through the hall, but they were just empty echoes.

"Ye Kai, you did this on purpose."

The meeting in the consultation hall was temporarily interrupted, and the newly appeared criminals were being interrogated. Ye Kai was caught by Graud when he was transferred to the spare room of the palace, and he asked.

“No, I was just driven by passion.”

"Don't lie. If you're serious, a few of us can subdue him." Glaud said that he believed Ye Kai was obedient in order to maintain the royal power.

"I'm so hungry that I have no strength left. This Kashitan fruit is really delicious." Ye Kai kept cutting the white fruit.
