妻子的秘密

Standing in shackles was the beast king himself. His hair was ragged, and he did not dare to look up at me. I can understand why. He suffered such utter defeat at the hands of Grace! Although Grace was thousands of levels higher than him but still. The imperial court was created by me. It was to ensure fairness. I was to watch over the proceedings on any case brought to the court. And with my busy schedule, one wouldn\'t really want to wait until I was free. But this court was for nobles only anyway, so it was hardly the case that I would need to come here often.

  "Today\'s court session will be broadcasted to all cities, towns, and villages! Today we will show the world we are not so easy to bully!" I announced as I stood up. With a wave of my hand, a large water mear appeared in the air, and another water ball appeared next to it. The water mirror split into four and showed all sides of the room. 

"Ladies and gentlemen. We are broadcasting the trial of the former beast king on the grounds of his invasion of our Cyrilia Empire. While our side\'s losses were very minimal and the beast kingdoms were in the hundreds of thousands, it does not mean such events can go unpunished. Many lives were needlessly lost because of how this man, the beast king, handled his kingdom\'s affairs. Because of this, his kingdom is now part of my Cyril Empire. 

"I must make it clear that I do not wish to invade anyone. I do not wish to start wars. But there are times when my empire is being bullied, and I will not stand down. Beast king! How do you plead for the invasion of my Cyrilia Empire?" I asked, looking at the beast king who had yet to raise his head.

"I am guilty. I am guilty of being stupid to think I could even beat the youngest hero in history, Empress Faith Cyrilia." The beast king finally lifted his head and pleaded guilty, his eyes full of regret.

"How do you plead on your collusion with the Altorians, a race that threatens all races, not just humans or demi humans?" I asked once again. All crimes must be laid out, so the world knows why this trial is taking place.

"Guilty! I never thought the Altorians were trying to make use of me. My mind ended up muddled, and I listened to what they said. But a lot of that was out of fear and hatred for the fact that humans and demi humans were living side by side naturally as if neither was inferior to the other!" The beast king replied honestly.

"It is good that you were so willing to plead guilty. Now then." I clapped my hands, and the body of the Altorian woman I had killed was brought out. She was tied to a stake, and her head hung lifelessly to the side.

"This here is the woman you had…." I had not even gotten my question out when three figures appeared in the courtroom. 

"Trinity! You dare!" The man who just yelled with massive killing intent was none other than Azengrade himself. I had purposely left the barrier around the capital and the courtroom down while casting individual ones around the city itself. Only the imperial courtroom was not protected by a barrier.

"Oh! If it is not Sir Azengrade." I snickered as I stood up. "It is good that you showed up since I want to show the people who are watching this that people like Sir Azengrade here are the enemies of all races. The worms that will burrow into your minds and take away your life while using your bodies to commit nefarious acts." 

"You! Trinity, you will not live to see another day!" Azengrade looked as if he was about to attack, but Atollie appeared in front of me. 

"Sir Azengrade, I would be careful. Atollie likes to punch people after she watched me punch this woman here to death." I said with a smile. I ignored the strange look Atollie was giving me before continuing and saying: "And just so you know…. I am not Trinity."

"You…. Wait…." Azengrade seemed confused by my words. But I did not care. 

"Azengrade, it is good you came because we still have a lot to discuss between you and I." I waved my hand, and a thousand layer barrier formed around the courtroom, and even all the officials disappeared through trap doors that were now sealed closed. 

This whole thing had been a trap from the start! I had planned to try to use the Altorian woman as a means to draw out more Altorians, but I never expected to pull out a big fish. "I must thank you, Sir Azengrade, for your inability to calm down when one of your worms is benign disgraced. Oh, by the way, the worm in her head was dug out by me and is being tested now." 

Azengrade\'s face turned ugly. I guess he never expected that I would do such a thing. "Trinity or whoever you are. Return my kin\'s dead body now, or I will kill you and then your entire nation!"

"Oh! I am so scared. The big bad worm wants to kill my people." I ran and hid behind Atollie as if I was scared before sticking my head out and hugging her waist, and looking at Azengrade: "Not! Like I would be scared of you any longer. The only one in this room that I would have a hard time with is you, Azengrade. But that doesn\'t mean there is no one here to counter you. Atollie, please hold the worm man at bay while I deal with his people."

"As you wish, Master."
