54. Truth
54. Truth
From that day the customers of his shop dwindled in numbers. I don't know what they were afraid of but the mood inside the shop was one of happiness and pride.
Jace had told everything in detail to everyone last night which had made Hikaru something more than just a weird shop owner. The respect of their boss and pride of their jobs was visible in the eyes of all the employees as they worked.
I had hired some guards temporarily to keep watch below while I myself laid next to Irene who was better now but still needed rest.
Irene - You didn't have to go that far you know...
I was sleeping next to her, her arms wrapped around me. Actually I was the one who wanted to have her in my arms but my arms were too small for that, so I reluctantly settled in her embrace when she cutely offered.
Hikaru - It was necessary...
Irene - You were expecting it to happen...?
Hikaru - Human nature is inherently greedy, so of course people would try to get their hands on my shop but I wasn't expecting a crazy zealot.... I always imagined it to be more political...
Irene - That makes sense... What now? He is a noble and you ruined his reputation to the ground, I don't think the aristocracy will like that much...
Hikaru - It's fine. Not like I care much about this lame city. If it gets too troublesome we will just find another city or kingdom to live in.
Irene - I... wasn't expecting you to be so chill about it.. why do the threatening then?
Hikaru - I don't care about my shop but my friends are another matter. If I tell someone they might not believe me but I have enough tools to burn this whole city to the ground.
Irene - You... Do ? What really are you ? I believe in you of course but I don't think any normal human is capable of such things.
Hikaru - What do you think about this world?
Irene - Wh.. what are you talking about?
I just rolled my eyes at her as to say just answer it dummy.
Irene - I don't know.. it's the world.. dumb people good people.. kings and cities.. we live and die...
Hikaru - Would you believe me if I told you that there are other worlds like this in the vast universe...
Irene - Yo.. you ! Is that true?
Hikaru - I don't know either but I was someone else in this other world and one day I just arrived at this place...
Irene - Another world? All this things?
Hikaru - Yes, I still have a sort of connection to my old world but I can't go there anymore.
Irene - That's a lot for someone like me...
Hikaru - Hahaha leave all this nonsense, since you are to rest how about I give you some massage to relax your lower half?
Irene - Just say that you missed my pussy.
Hikaru - Irene my really tasty and sexy friend, I indeed missed the fuck out of you.
Irene - That's my boy, come on then...
After some good old cunnilingus enough to make Irene yell in stop after multiple squirts I went downstairs after a shower to see how things were going.
Everything was normal, people were less than before but still I noticed many of our regulars talking and smiling with Jace and Chloe.
Chloe was also in the customer service job, she was still learning stuff from Jace though.
I went close to them and they smiled amiably. Then Jace got back to talking while Chloe just glared at me.
Chloe - You are so strong !
Hikaru - Well that I am. Go do your job.
I slapped her bubbly ass to get her going, which proved to be a good motivation for her as she hurried along.
I also finished my round and went back to my room to play some games. In the evening at the dinner table I noticed one extra person in our midst.
It was Rachel. She was staying in with mimi who had offered her a place after she healed Irene yesterday. She was drunk so everyone was worried about her going back, she slept the whole day today and had just woke up.
Hikaru - Are you alright?
Rachel - Yes... I'm fine.
Hikaru - Enough with the crying already. He died, it's over. With a beauty and personality like yours, you can get thousands of men better than him if you tried.
Rachel - Uhm.. it's not that easy...
Hikaru - That's bullshit. You guys weren't even in the relationship, you just ran around him. You know nothing about him at all.
Rachel - He was a good man.
Hikaru - I will not comment on that.
She continued her mopping around while we ate dinner with lively conversation.
The next day Irene woke me up and I thought she wanted some Lulu in her huha so I started taking my dick out but she slapped me awake saying I was a lost cause.
When I finally washed my face I saw why she was waking me up at 6 in the morning. Some weird guy in strange clothes and funny hat was sitting on a chair in my shop, he had something on his hand. A neatly ordained parchment scroll.
Seeing me he stood up and started saying bullshit about my crimes and accusations and what not.
In short I was summoned to defend myself against accusations that were placed on me by some noble.
The king himself was going to judge the trial and provide justice.
I didn't know what it was about but clearly it was like a court case which I was expecting since I had made such a scene to a noble household despite being a commoner.
After spouting the official invitation the strange man left, giving me the parchment scroll. I threw it away and went back to my bed. I was summoned at 12 pm anyways.
The morning came I did all my routine and also deposited my daily fluids in long lost cave of my fuckbuddy Irene. After two hours of constant pounding, we ate breakfast and went to do our things.
She was back to her job while I had a case to fight. So I left the shop at 10 and started heading towards the royal palace. The walk took 40+ minutes and all the checking and procedures took another half an hour.
Finally I was in the court of the king Aramas, who ruled this kingdom. He was pretty old but was still healthy enough to do his duties. His only son Salaras was sitting beside him on right while left of the king was the queen Alethei. The prince was also married to neighbouring country's princess but she was not present in this court.
I sat with the other high class profiles who also had issues that were more important to the kingdom than petty disputes of commoners who were usually judged by one of the official.
At least they acknowledged that I have enough power to be in this court, that was point in their favor.
At last my name came and I saw who the accuser was and of course it was the fat shit that I had spared. He was accompanied by his wife who looked pale and lifeless and another guy who resembled the fat faced noble but was more younger and muscular. Must be a relative I guessed.
Well let's see how this goes. I stood up and went to the corner where all other accused were previously stood while defending themselves.
