LAW .

The rune appeared in the middle of the room, floating high above everyone's heads . Even Stella felt it judging her actions, and sweat broke out on her brow as she thought over the many insignificant times, she broke the laws .

”Judge who is acting within the interests of the kingdom, at heart,” demanded Joseph of the rune .

Carlos began screaming before he burnt to death . Another five people, who came in with him, also combusted where they stood . People scrambled away from the heat of their deaths, as the rune disappeared from view .

”Well, now that that shavist is over . Does anyone else wish to bring up issues?”

From the back, one brave soul yelled out, ”You just used your ability with magic to kill him!”

”That's ridiculous . LAW is impartial, even though I am a friend . What that idiot didn't realize is that currently, n.o.body can be more beneficial to the kingdom than me . For one, evil G.o.ds are trying to kill all of us, and I'm the only one capable of stopping them, which is an automatic win, while Carlos was trying to start a revolt in the middle a war, which is essentially an automatic loss . For two, even if the evil G.o.ds were dead, I'm the only one who is strong enough to get to the world tree to try and lift the curse to restore the realm, and increase the size of the kingdom more than a hundred-fold . It's another automatic win . And once I accomplish both of those tasks, I can spend far more of my time actually doing my duties as king properly . Also, there is no law forcing you to obey me . ”

Mumbling broke out as they all realized the truth to his words . Not one law required them to do as he commanded . Stella almost wondered if that was a bad thing to point out to them .

Joseph sighed . Stella knew he needed to clarify more, before the people would be satisfied, and she reiterated her hatred of politics .

”The council and I, make decisions based on what is best for the kingdom, and once you know what is best for the kingdom, you are compelled to act that way, but none of the laws force you to obey something I say that isn't for the good of the kingdom . Just don't become so hypocritical that you believe your own lies and justifications, like Carlos . ”
