248 Chapter 248
Everyone gawked at the scene as Alex entered.
While many clicked their tongue with disdain, many felt that something big was going to happen.
Not all of the nobles were fools or conceited and some observed things carefully before deriving an inference.
“Fool, weren’t you taught how to represent yourself before others?”A noble spoke.
” No, I wasn’t taught.”
“If you have so much free time then why don’t you come and teach me.” Alex sneered.
The noble lips closed tightly and he glared at Alex.
Alex walked towards the middle and threw the head towards the Throne.
The head rolled on the ground and reached the stairs leading to the platform of the throne room.
“I want to ask what is this?”
“When the Imperial Envoy took him, they promised to punish him and give me justice,” Alex shouted and raised his voice higher.
“I have heard that the guy sitting on the throne who was previously my father is a strong man filled with a sense of justice and magnanimity.”
“He is strong enough to shoulder the Entire Kinley on his shoulders.”
“But after this incident, my eyes were opened. All of these were false rumours that were made to hide the weakness. You can’t even punish and keep a mouse properly, what right do you have to act all haughty.”
“Don’t you feed the prison guards well or don’t you give them a salary to do their work.”
Alex rolled his eyes toward everyone and then pointed his hands.
Josh who was at the back was scared out of his wits and tried to hide.
“You all can ask Sir Josh!”
“I have already cut an arm of Angus and under constant torture, he was reduced to a sack of bones but even after this he was able to escape the prison.”
“Tsk…Tsk..”
“What a disgrace?” Alex spoke with disdain.
The temperature of the surroundings seems to rise by a few degrees as Alex starts to blame them.
“King Alex, you are being too much. All the prison guards are faithful and do their duties well. You are slandering The Emperor and committing an offence.”Count Heidelberg stood up and spoke.
He thought of taking this chance to bootlick and speak up for the Emperor and who knows, this may be the wisest decision on his part.
“Seeing you sucking up Prison guards, it seems that you have a hand in this kind of thing.”
“Tell me why you freed Angus from prison?”
Everyone’s gaze fell on Count Heidelberg.
Count Heidelberg’s face became pale and he shouted”I don’t have any hand in it. How dare you tarnish my reputation. This Count’s reputation is known throughout the place.”
“Is that so? Then why are you spouting all this bullshit? Did you see anyone standing up and speaking for them? Why are you the only one speaking for prison guards?” Alex snorted.
Count Heidelberg, had a sudden realisation and he stared at other nobles who averted their gaze.
No one was fool enough to oppose Alex when he had a valid reason and that’s why they must refrain from speaking up and just stay quiet to watch the show.
“Your Majesty, is this how your rule? What kind of ignorant people have you been supporting? This guy is messing the command right under your nose?” Alex spoke with a saddened expression.
Kevin who was looking at the scene with an indifferent look suddenly clenched his fist and his expression hardened.
The main motive of the gathering was to see how much Alex had grown after recovering but little did he expect that this brat would directly go after his head and soil his reputation.
He liked Alex’s courage in confronting things like this. One might think this was quite a rash decision but in a way, it was the best way to muddy the waters.
It may cause a commotion and pull all the enemy’s eyes but in this way, he could segregate enemies from friends.
He could also feel grievance in Alex’s heart and he could feel that he was targeting him with each word.
It angered him greatly, this was a stain on his reputation. Alex had recently entered Zenith and someone had already targeted him.
It would be easy to accept if the other party was an assassin but sadly he was a prisoner who was prisoned in a heavily guarded prison.
Anyone would be a fool to believe a Transcendent rank expert escaping from prison. If this matter came to be known to the public, he would be a joke in the eyes of other Empires.
His eyes reddened with anger and he observed everyone’s expression from the royals to the nobles and none of their emotions escaped from his eyes.
“And even if he isn’t the one, if there is a helper of the culprit, he must be a high official. Since it happens once, it can happen twice.”Alex shouted.
“If the officials release prisoners like this to kill people how would everyone sleep in peace? Who knows from where a convict may drop up.”
“I am saddened and disheartened by this situation.”
The entire hall already plunged into silence when Alex blamed them one after another.
Kevin tapped his finger and spoke, “Today this Emperor had shamed you.”
“Since Angus was spared and brought here according to an imperial decree, his responsibility lies with us.”
“His escape and all the troubles caused to King Alex and his families would be compensated.”
“And this matter would be investigated thoroughly. I want the heads of everyone involved in this event.”
“I don’t care if it is noble of lower authority or higher authority, everyone would be killed.”
“And!”
Emperor Kevin paused and spoke heavily “If this had anything to do with the members of the Royal family, report the matter to me. I will decide the punishment according to the offence.”
“I assure you that the preparator would be punished no matter what.”
“So, King Alex, are you satisfied?”
“Very satisfied, Your Highness. I might not be able to sleep today due to the excitement of seeing the convicts getting executed.” Alex spoke.
“Good, since this matter has been settled, let’s move to the next.”
“What punishment should be given to Alex for his imprudence?” Emperor Kevin spoke with a smirk.
