In Another World Where Religion Prohibits Anal !

55. The Justice

The king gestured for the hearing to start and the young relative of the fat noble came forward. 

I looked at the fat noble and his wife who immediately avoided any eye contact with me as if they would turn to stone just by simply looking at me.

Relative - Your majesty, I Ronald white accuse the commoner Hikaru, who runs a shop called Dimensional delights and sells things of questioning nature. Which made my older brother to be concerned about the quality and purpose of such strange things. He went to the said shop to inquire about it and was rudely rejected by the shop owner for any meeting. And then when he asked with a bit more authority as a noble should the barbarian shop owner of this shop came barging in our family estate and beat up many honorable warriors of this country and hurt a noble of this country for no reason other than the whimsy of a wicked man who clearly hates being questioned. I ask you as his brother to enact justice on his behalf, your highness. I ask for the death penalty. 

The king - Do you have any proof to back up your claims?

Relative - Yes, your majesty. All the people present in the estate at that time and the owners of many respected shops can testify about all the events I spoke of if asked.

The king - How do you plead Commoner Hikaru ?

Hikaru - Not guilty your highness. The accuser himself was not present there at the time and nobleman Armond has clearly not revealed all the truths of the matter to his younger brother.

The said 'nobles' were surprised to see a commoner not show even a hint of fear in front of the king and speak with such fluency.

The king - And how do you prove that?

Hikaru - I can show you the events that happened near my shop that made me confront the said nobleman for harming my employee.

The whole court suddenly came alive and started murmuring among themselves. They only stopped after one of the officials raised his voice and ordered them to be quiet.

The king - Show me you said ? How?

I took out my phone where I had saved the footage from the CCTV cameras which recorded all the stuff that happened near the shop.

Everyone was looking intently at me as I played the video. Everyone gasped when they heard the sounds and saw the moving pictures. Once again the murmuring started and even court officials and the guards were too busy being shocked to remind them to be quiet.

After watching everything where Armond blatantly tried to barge into my shop and ordered his minions to attack Irene the king finally nodded. Of course he was also surprised by such out of this world technology but he maintained his facade Better than others.

Ronald - Your majesty it's witchcraft ! Such thing is impossible ! It's something he made all on his own... We can't use such things as evidence !

The king - Hmm.. The validity of such method is of course questionable.

What? The king is speaking on his side? Ahh I get it now. No wonder despite looking like scared dogs the couple accused me because the aristocracy and even court officials including even king maybe wants to see me get punished. They must not have expected for me to have such proof.

Ronald - Yes, Your majesty. And it just further proves how odd the nature of this person is. 

Witchcraft and the form of child. Such a child can't possibly be an owner of a shop or possess such power to cripple Armored knights. Such an existence is too dangerous to be left alone. Destroying things when whimsy siezies him.

All the nobles started nodding and saying things like 'that's right' and 'he is dangerous'.

The king - Commoner Hikaru you stand accused of humiliating a nobleman unprompted in his own home despite Being a commoner. What are your last words before I declare my justice?

Hikaru just looked around the room and saw all kinds of faces greedy, fearful, just plain cruel, some were genuinely conflicted but thought it better to avoid speaking their mind. 

A room full of cowards and weak men.

These are the people who decide life and death for millions of people? What nonsense !

Hikaru - Well if that's how it is then maybe I should just leave this kingdom. Maybe king Araknese would be more amiable to buy new powerful weapons that I made. It was a mistake to come in this city.

I shook my head as if disappointed in the lot while I could clearly see the expressions of everyone changing immediately to one of dark and frightened. But it was clear as sun what they really wanted.

The king - You have those strange weapons in large quantity ?

Hikaru - Yes, I do. I was thinking of selling it to a man of nobility once I settled in with my business but it seems leaving is my only choice now.

Ronald - As I said your highness, he insults your position so blatantly and thinks he can escape his fate to sell his cursed weapons. I say Death to the demon !

However the constantly supporting crowd instantly pulled back and remained silent. Surprised by the sudden even Roland looked back but only found people looking in all directions except his.

The king - The evidence does give the accused a right to enact violence to protect what is rightfully his.

The crowd instantly nodded as if that was the only thing true said in this trial and ignored the baffled Ronald and his brother who was sweating profusely now.

The king - However you did raise hands against a noble and that is against the law. The accused will compensate the accuser with 100 gold coins and with this I declare this matter concluded.

I had to fucking pay? For what? To thank him for attacking my shop? What of my fucking compensation ?

Hikaru had spent hours talking to Jace a supposed member of minor nobility and had learned all the rules and beliefs this bunch had, so he was well aware of how unfair this thing was.

Hikaru - If I may speak..?

The king - You may...

Hikaru - Can I also accuse someone right here or do I have to come another day for that?

One of the noble - You can accuse someone but questioning the judgment of royalty is punishable by death.

Hikaru - Okay... Very well then. My accuser right now was Ronald White, speaking in behalf of his brother and the judgment was in his favor. I have no problem with that, the person I'm accusing is Armond White. I accuse him of defamation against me Hikaru as I have proof in which he multiple times refers me as devil - the enemy of faith. This thoughtless actions of his has made my business suffer huge losses. 

The king - Very well, we hear this accusation and see them appropriate. What compensation do you seek?

Hikaru - As a great damage has been done to my reputation because of this I ask something equally valuable in return.

Roland - And what would that be ?

Hikaru - As compensation to my losses I ask for Lady white.
