Chapter 191: The court summon (1/2)
Rudra was summoned to the Elven court. The court was filled to the brim with court officials , members of the Church , the royal family. The second queen , the queen , princess Ruby , first prince Rumi and King Frey.
King Frey sat on his throne as he looked down on Rudra and his crew who were surrounded by Royal guards.
Frey said ” Today , we have convened this royal court session , as the Honorary Bishop of the Church ' Shakuni ' has made bold claims slandering the Royal Family. He calls himself an Oracle capable of recieving divinations from the goddess and has accused that the first prince is not a high elf and not my son , but a son born from an illicit affair between the Queen and a mere servant. That he does not have the blood of the goddess in his veins ”.
Loud chatters and murmurs broke out everywhere , the royal court had became a mess , between those chatters some words spoken loudly were .
” BLASHPHEMY ”.
” THE QUEEN IS A S***”.
” AN ORCALE? ”
” He's a HUMAN”.
However both the first Queen and the first prince paled , they knew all this was true. But inside this royal court , they could not run , they could not hide. They were already here.
The first prince shouted ” SLANDER! , U should cut the throat of this human , human's are deceitful and disgusting species , we cannot take the words of a human at face value. If I was not a high elf , It would have been found out long back. My blood is rich in vitality , it oozes with mana , it is as pure as any other high elf in this room”.
Many heads nodded , the prince's blood indeed contained the vitality of a high elf there was no doubt about it.
Maybe the human was lying ... Humans could really not be trusted.
Someone shouted ” You liar , how dare you slander the prince , you will pay the price of your uncouth tongue ”.
” KILL HIM! ”.
”lying human!! ”.
This is where the members of the Church stepped in , the cardinal said ” King Frey , I will not stand idle as the Honorary Bishop of the Church is being disrespected in your court.”.
Following his declaration the paladins from the Church drew out their weapons. The royal guards pulled out theirs in retaliation .
The environment overall was extremely combustible. Just a little spark and an all out war would start.
However , just then a voice was heard
” SILENCE ! ” , It was King Frey.
” No one will speak in this court without permission now , or you will be jailed in the dungeons for three days ”. He declared.
There was pin drop silence in the court. The paladins and the royal guards sheathed their weapons.
King Frey said ” Explain to me Honorary Bishop Shakuni , how do you respond to these charges ”.
