The king was so angry that he almost lost his temper.

"King, please help me. I almost lost your great figure."

"In broad daylight, they hired someone to "kill" me and beat me like this. You must punish them severely."

When Besta saw King Gazer sitting quietly on the high ground, he immediately knelt on the ground and raised his hand to point in the direction of Rimuru.

Hey!

You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want! What do you mean by "hiring someone to kill someone"? They have been staying in prison these days and eating well.

Where have they done such a thing!

King Gazer on the throne heard Besta's cry, and then he opened his eyes and looked down.

Best's arm was bandaged, one leg was lame, and his face was bruised and swollen. It was hard to tell that he was a human.

Gazel twitched his mouth slightly and closed his eyes silently.

This unknown murderer was quite measured!

Kaijin and the three dwarf brothers all stared at Besta angrily with their eyes wide open, and their hearts were full of anger.

This insidious and cunning guy actually distorted the facts and spread rumors in front of the king again!

If there were no strict rules - during the adjudication process, if you speak without the king's permission, it will be regarded as disrespectful to the king and executed on the spot.

They might have been unable to suppress their inner impulse and cursed at Besta's nose.

However, Rimuru seemed unusually calm. He calmly observed Best's every move.

Just now, he keenly noticed that a small piece of purple skin was exposed on Best's bandaged arm. There is no doubt that this is obviously a mark left by frostbite...

At this time, the judge finally spoke, his voice was loud and powerful.

"Marquis Best, according to the accusation you made, Kaijin and others hired assassins to attack the nobles."

"However, we have found out that Kaijin and others have been detained in prison these days and have not had contact with other people. Therefore, your accusation cannot be established."

Hearing this, Besta's face became extremely ugly. Although he was very unwilling in his heart, due to the lack of solid evidence, he could not let Kaijin suffer the death penalty.

"But it is a fact that Kaijin attacked the nobles..."

The following trial was the same as the original story. The person who defended Rimuru had long been bribed by Beta, and directly exaggerated and admitted the crimes of Kaijin and others.

"My king! Did you hear it? Please punish these criminals severely!"

Besta couldn't wait to make a suggestion to the king.

He even arrogantly smiled smugly at Rimuru.

That bastard!

"Silence! Now announce the verdict!"

"The principal offender, Kaijin, will be sentenced to 20 years of forced labor in the mines. The other accomplices will be sentenced to 10 years of forced labor in the mountains. Then the court will be closed--"

"Wait."

A deep and majestic voice sounded, like an invisible wall, blocking the words that the judge was about to pronounce.

King Gazelle slowly opened his eyes, his deep eyes as bright as stars, staring at Kaijin in front of him quietly.

"Long time no see, Kaijin. How have you been doing during these days away from me?"

King Gazelle's voice was calm and gentle, but it contained an irresistible power. Kaijin's body trembled slightly, and he obviously did not expect the king to speak at this moment.

"Yes...! It's great to see that you are still so healthy!"

Kaijin's response was a little hesitant, as if he was caught off guard. His movements were slightly slow, and then he knelt on one knee, bowed his head and answered respectfully.

Although his expression seemed calm, there might be a ripple in his heart.

"Don't worry about me. In comparison, I want to know more..."

King Gazel paused, with a hint of expectation and inquiry in his tone.

"Are you still unwilling to return to me?"

This sentence was like a sharp sword, piercing Kaijin's heart. His eyes flashed with complex emotions, his lips moved slightly, but he did not answer immediately.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and the entire court fell into a dead silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

The people around suddenly became agitated, whispering to each other, as if this had never happened before.

Besta's face turned pale in an instant, and his face was full of incredible astonishment.

"My most respected king,

!"

"Please forgive my rude offense, I already have a new master! This contract is my most precious treasure, even if you give me an order, I can't give it up!"

Kaijin straightened his body, staring at Gazel Hero King without flinching, with a firm light in his eyes.

His words were like a boulder thrown into a lake, stirring up thousands of waves and completely changing the tense atmosphere on the scene.

The soldiers who were originally guarding on the side were now fierce, staring at Kaijin fiercely, with their hands The weapon was already unsheathed, shining with cold light, and pointed directly at the arrogant man who dared to contradict the king.

However, even in the face of this, Kaijin did not have the slightest fear. He still held his head high and looked back at King Gazel without showing any weakness, showing his determination.

King Gazel slowly closed his eyes again and whispered softly.

"Is that so..."

The whole hall was once again shrouded in deathly silence.

Not long after--

"Then I will announce today's verdict."

Along with these words, a strong and majestic aura surged from King Gazel, and his eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened, emitting a heart-pounding light.

"Expel Kaijin and his companions from the country. I will not allow you to exist in this country until I change my mind!"

His voice was as loud as thunder, echoing throughout the palace.

"Then, disappear from my sight! "

When the last sentence came out, King Gazel's tone became more severe and unquestionable.

Hearing the king's final judgment, the soldiers around put away their weapons and knelt on one knee on the ground to respond to the king's declaration.

Rimuru stood aside and watched all this quietly. He clearly felt King Gazel's unparalleled kingly dominance, but at the same time he also noticed the loneliness in his eyes.

This contradictory emotion made Rimuru feel very confused. Perhaps King Gazel did not really want to drive away Kaijin and others, but had other difficulties?

The soldiers took Rimuru and others away from the palace and expelled them from the country in accordance with the king's order.

"Besta, do you have anything to say to me?"

King Gazel said lightly to Besta, who was still angry below.
