Aside from those powerful people, Leo's friends were actually also present in this Royal Court.
Madam Silva was currently watching Leo in one of the VIP room in the Royal Court, along with Evangelion, and the 4 girls, specifically Cassandra, Elizabeth, Angel, and Veronica.
Princess Tiana along with Magical Knight Karl was also present, though the two were obviously trying to hide their presence the least bit possible in order to hide from her older brother, Crown Prince Edward.
At the audience side, the entire Savage Foxes faction and the rest of the members of the Mischievous Lion faction were also present, alongside with Butler Xiao, Fatty Ben, General Kevin, and Van, four of the people that made up half of the Heart Noble Household was completely present, representing the Heart city.
Unbeknownst to everybody here, Leo's Master was actually also present. She was just sitting inconspicuously in the very corner of the Royal Court, silently watching how her disciple would handle his current predicament. Also to prepare for any possible worst-case scenario. After all, no matter how prepared Leo was, there would always be an unknown variable. And such unknown variables were what she was preparing herself for.
”I heard that Caynis, one of the known Elder 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 you 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 questioned, while seriously staring at Leo Heart in front of him.
In the middle of the Royal Court, Leo just let out a mischievous smile on his face. The Crown Prince Edward's question was the same as what he had expected. In fact, it was almost the same as what Madam Silva had asked him before.
So, he just repeated what he had said to Madam Silva back at Sword and Magic yesterday.
”The Black organization is related to the death of my older brother!” Leo replied, immediately causing a loud commotion inside the Royal Court.
”Reinhart was killed by one of our own?!”
”The report before was clearly from the battlefield, so how did it become related to the Black organization?!”
”What is this! Why did the Silver royal family hide such a huge secret from us!”
Loud voices of doubt, shock, and displeasure to the Silver royal family quickly sounded around the Royal Court soon after Leo said the introduction of his defense.
”Silence!” Crown Prince Edward exclaimed loudly while at the same time releasing a powerful Magic power, immediately causing all the people that attended to behave themselves.
”Do you mean that this is related to the case you had secretly submitted to the Silver royal family 8 years ago?” Crown Prince Edward asked as he wanted to clarify something.
”Yes! All the evidence I had gathered throughout these years actually pointed towards...” Leo said as he slowly moved his finger towards Elizabeth, ”Her!”
*Bang!
”How dare you accuse my daughter about your brother's death! My daughter Elizabeth was even the one that insisted to marry you, so how could she kill your brother, you bastard!” Vincent Snow immediately became enraged as soon as he heard Leo accusing his daughter about such presumptions thing.
”Let me finish, father-in-law...” Leo said as he turned around his head to face Crown Prince Edward, ”But, I, fortunately, discovered that 8 years ago, the Snow Noble Household had honored the part of their deal, and I had also found out just around the past week that my fiancée was actually not against our parent's pre-arranged marriage!”
”Hmph! Good thing you're not such an ungrateful child. Red Heart, your father, indeed has a good child, I'm so envious of him, huhuhu!” Vincent Snow's mood quickly changed as he suddenly started acting a bit childish.
”Am I not a good daughter, father?” Elizabeth quickly rolled her eyes at her father's childish act.
”A good daughter should not insist on leaving her father just for another man, huhuhu!” Vincent Snow replied back like a child once again.
”FATHERRR!” Elizabeth quickly exclaimed in annoyance as her face turned burning red.
”May I interrupt the father and daughter's lovely conversation, since we are still handling a very important case here...” Crown Prince Edward can't help but interrupt.
Vincent Snow and Elizabeth Snow quickly nodded their heads in understanding.
”You may continue!” Crown Prince Edward said as he motioned for Leo to continue with his explanation.
Leo nodded his head as he continued, ”After finding about that, my investigation took a huge turn, and that huge turn specifically pointed towards...” He again turned around as he slowly pointed his hand at where Walter Skull was sitting at, ”Them!”
Unlike Vincent Snow, Walter Skull just raised one of his eyebrows as he turned serious.
”Not the entire Skull Noble Household though, but only Richton Skull, one of the members of the Black organization!” Leo said, dropping a seemingly huge explosion towards everyone present in the Royal Court once again.
”Do you have any proof?” Walter can't help but ask. He wasn't mad about Leo's accusation. In fact, he was also suspecting the same thing for a very long time now.
