Lilly looked at the King of Cities on the floor.
He was the hardest one to kill at first. In the fierce battle, her entire team was almost wiped out.
It was until her father’s “headshot”, that they only managed to arrest and imprison him within the Palace of the Ruler of Hell.
The King of Cities’s essence was just his soul. Currently, his head was still in fragments. After such a long time, he still couldn’t piece his head back together like how it once was.
Before Lilly could speak, he immediately started talking: “I’ve done nothing wrong! Your father was a mortal who came down to the Underworld. And according to the rules, he was supposed to be killed!”
He thought he had caught on to a loophole.
He knew that Blake MacNeil was actually the Emperor Prosper, but they were sure not to reveal it just yet.
He thought that that was because he had not returned to his throne yet as he had no strength… Blake must be scared that someone out there might challenge his position secretly.
The King of Cities was sure that Lilly would not dare to speak such a truth.
Then what crime would he have committed to hunt after an undead person who was roaming the Underworld?
“Not to mention, at the time, Little Hades was still a mortal, she had not returned to the throne yet! I sensed that the rules were violated, and I did my job to maintain the balance of the Underworld. Was I wrong to do that then?”
Lilly nodded. “No you were not.”
When Redley was King Libra, he used his power for personal gain and went to the human realm to kill her, which was a violation of the rules.
So by that logic too, when Lilly and her father came to the Underworld as mortals, they too violated the rules.
The King of Cities was filled with pride. “So, what right do you have to judge me? Weren’t you also bending the rules for your own personal gain? Are you not using your power for your own personal gain once more?”
He had leverage over Little Hades!
Lilly nodded. “Sure, I may not have the right to judge my own matters. But they do, don’t they?”
She pointed at the Kings of Transformation, Styx, Contemplation, and the Five Offices.
The King of Transformation frowned his eyebrows. He had no idea how to help Lilly out and give the King of Cities the punishment he deserves.
The King of Styx was in a tough spot too. He was definitely on Little Hades’s side, but he couldn’t think of an excuse just yet…
Seriously, why would she admit it herself? She should have just denied it to the end!
No, but if she refused to admit her wrongdoing and lie that she had never been to the Underworld, then the King of Cities could deny his mistakes too…
The King of Five Offices looked at the King of Contemplation, who was speechless as well.
It wasn’t easy for any of them to judge the matter, as the King of Cities made sense too.
Since this was a public trial, Little Hades wanted to solve this problem and not leave any more leverage that others can take advantage of in the future as well…
How could they help? It was not that they did not want to, but they just had no idea…
Suddenly, Lilly, who was on the throne, started speaking: “Well then. The reason for my father coming to the Underworld is because…”
“He is the Emperor Prosper.”
With a single sentence, all of the Kings froze in silence.
