Chapter 320 - Judgment (2/2)
””City Lord!””
The city lord looked around at the carnage and asked after a bit
”...Can anyone tell me what's going on here?”
Mercury stood up and spoke
”Retribution, the Ralemt's have messed with us enough”
Lady Ralment let out a shill yell
”That's a lie!”
The city lord looked at both of them before he looked at Mercury and asked
”Retribution for what?”
”Smashing up our shop, scaring away our customers, spreading false rumors about the quality of our goods and harassing our employees”
The city lord nodded before he asked
”And why would the esteemed Ralmet family do that?”
”Because Lady Ralmet lost a case against us a week ago, about the custody of my child whom she claims is hers”
The face of both the city lord and Lord Ralmet darkened, clearly this was the first they had heard of this… Or was it?
”...Take the two of them away”
Mercury and Marie was taken away by the knights that the city lord had bright, they didn't resist as they were being taken away Mercury noticed that the City lord seemed to be exchanging words with Lord Ralmet and sharpened his ears and heard something disturbing
”What the fuck..?”
Mercury stopped walking and yelled
”What the fuck do you mean 'has she found another child'!?”
The faces of the city lord and Lord Ralemt darkened before the city lord spoke
”Care to repeat that?”
”What the fuck do you mean 'has she found another child'!? Is this some sort of habit for that bitch!?”
The face of the city lord suddenly showed a smile before he spoke to the knights that stood next to them
”Kill them both!”
Mercury showed a smile and prepared to use [Lesser metal weaving] on the armor of the knights around Marie when another voice yelled out
”[Judgment: Guilty]!”
The knights around Mike and Mercury quickly turned into a black stone, both Mercury and Marie looked over as well as The Ralmet's, their two remaining knights, and the city lord, there they all saw the Judicator of Ode, even though she wore a veil that covered her face most of her anger was clearly felt to Mercury and Marie, the city lord seemed a little dense on this point and yelled
”What was that for!? Do you have any idea how much cel it costs to train a knight to that level!?”
The Judicator ignored city lord and turned to the Ralemet's as she spoke
”Lady Helia Ralmet, Lord Julius Ralmet, for the crimes of kidnapping, torturing, and killing 54 children you are hereby deemed guilty [Judgment: Guilty]!”
Lady and Lord Ralemt let out a scream as they slowly turned into a black stone, the process seemed to be purposely slowed down so they would suffer more in comparison to the knight, their crime was definitely heavier, The Judicator then turned to the city lord that quickly began pleading
”Lady Judicator I had no idea that---”
”For the crimes of covering and destroying evidence in this case you are hereby deemed guilty! [Judgment: Guilty]!”
The city lord quickly turned into black stone much like the Ralemt's, then the Judicator quickly turned faint before she passed out, Mercury quickly appeared and caught her in his arms as he muttered
”Julia?”
