Chapter 118: Leo’s secret? Part 1 (1/2)

With the battle done, it was time to clean up the mess.

Silver city soldiers immediately went down from the wall to surround the place. The warriors that participated have also quickly begun snatching some ordinary items to profit from before the Silver city soldiers arrived to fully barricade the place.

The people that died weren't ordinary people, after all. Strict countermeasures should be applied in case of some unexpected variables.

The ordinary warriors were also aware of such a thing, that's why they only went to grab some ordinary and useless items. If they had possibly gotten themselves a powerful tool, then surely they would encounter danger from the Black organization later on, which was obviously something they don't want any part of.

Evangelion along with Jason and Vismot soon after landed nearby the Sword and Magic merchant caravan. With the accusation of Caynis, they of course can't just ignore such really important information. After all, the latter was the nemesis of the Smiling Lion organization, so the latter should have a reason about accusing Leo of being a part of the Smiling Lion organization.

”Due to Caynis, a leader of the Black organization, accusation against you, I need to take you to Madam Silva to clarify your innocence...” Evangelion said as soon as he approached Leo. He naturally trusted the latter more than Caynis, hence he said ”to clarify your innocence,” instead of ”to investigate whether the accusation was right or wrong”.

Moreover, Evangelion had also thought of a very important effect on this. With Leo's suspected identity of being a part of the Smiling Lion organization, the Silver Kingdom would obviously make a move sooner or later. So, he needed to move faster in order to protect the latter.

With the Sword and Magic handling the case, it would obviously sound like that Leo was a part of their organization rather than the Smiling Lion organization. Hence, easily fixing the mess.

”I understand!” Leo said as he decided to not defend himself at this moment. Being defensive at this moment might just make the situation much more worst, so he might as well just explain later on.

Evangelion immediately put his hand on Leo's shoulder as he casted a Teleportation spell soon after, quickly vanishing away from the place.

.....

The next place that Leo had appeared to was exactly in front of Madam Silva, who was currently wearing a very solemn expression at this moment while looking at him.

”How would you explain this situation to me? Oh, I meant to say, to the Silver Kingdom!” Madam Silva said as she suddenly shook her head, obviously feeling helpless towards the current situation. She naturally believed Leo was not a part of the Smiling Lion organization, since she had been observing him all this time. But, she can't do anything unless he himself provides solid evidence to clarify his identity.

”I naturally have a reason why I was hunting down the Black Organization,” Leo said calmly. He had already prepared for this situation, so he wasn't feeling nervous at all. In fact, he was even very calm at this moment since this sort of situation could actually add another cover to his secret the moment he successfully provides solid evidence that he wasn't a part of the Smiling Lion organization.

”Then with me and Evangelion here, we will act as your witness to clarify your innocence the moment you face the court of the Royal family!” Madam Silva said joyously. She knew that Leo was really smart, so with him having a reason, it would surely mean that he was confident that he would be escaping this mess easily.

With the accusation of Caynis about Leo being a part of the Smiling Lion organization, the Royal family of the Silver Kingdom, who had been chasing after the organization's tail for a very long time already would obviously pay attention to this mess.

This mess would surely be brought up to the Royal family court. That was also one of the reasons why Evangelion quickly made a move. It was in order for the Sword and Magic to protect Leo from the unknown means that the Royal family would surely use it in order to extract information from him.

After hearing Madam Silva's question, Leo then began explaining his reason.. or excuse...

.....

Just like what was expected. The case of Caynis accusing Leo about being a member of the Smiling Lion organization was indeed brought up to the Royal Court of the Silver royal family.

Inside the Royal Court, Leo was currently standing in the middle with the presence of the Crown Prince, Edward.

Crown Prince Edward was a man in his mid-twenties, with an extraordinary bearing and a handsome face, expected already from the Silver royal family lineage, a silver hair like Princess Tiana, and a muscular, but at the same time perfectly fit body.

Crown Prince Edward is a known man due to his wise ability to use the hammer of justice to confront many of the powerful and dangerous criminals that were causing havoc around the Silver Kingdom. In short, he is the protector of justice in the Silver Kingdom.

Also, Crown Prince Edward is an 8 Star Mage, a really powerful person that shouldn't be taken lightly. He might be involved in a lot of things concerning the laws and justice of the Silver Kingdom, but he is in fact a really powerful mage.

The topic about Crown Prince Edward is also one of the most popular talks around the Silver Kingdom. Especially at that time where he had saved the Royal army from the brink of total elimination in the Nine River Forest, the third most deadliest wilderness aside from the second rank Twilight Forest of the Southern region and the first rank Limitless Cold Mountain of the Northern region of Silver Kingdom.

Talks about how the Crown Prince Edward implements the law of the Silver Kingdom is also another famous topic. A lot of dangerous and powerful criminals had already been executed due to his capability. In fact, two of the very famous leader of the bandits in the Hundred hills of the southeast of the Silver Kingdom named Thousand Kills Ye Zhong and Blood Eyes Yuki, wasn't even able to escape from his hammer of justice.

”I heard that Caynis, one of the known leader of the Black organization, in the confrontation between Sword and Magic, Snow Noble Household, and the Silver city soldiers, had accused you, seemingly sounding really confident and with his own reason in mind, about being a part of the Smiling Lion organization, a very famous organization that protects the light of the Southern region of the Silver Kingdom through the dark, how would you defend yourself from such accusation?” Crown Prince Edward said, while seriously staring at the young man with the full name, Leo Heart, in front of him.

At this moment, Leo standing in the middle of the court wasn't feeling the least bit of nervousness despite the countless eyes of powerful people staring at him while at the same time releasing powerful auras.
