Chapter 719
All the cameras were pointed at James.
He was filthy and unwashed all over.
“I do,” James said in a feeble voice. Although the witnesses had exaggerated, it was undeniable that he killed them.
“Good.” The Emperor stood up and cried out, “Since you plead guilty, what do you think your punishment will be in accordance with criminal law?”
“Execution.”
James looked the Emperor in the eye. His eyes were devoid of fear.
Although he was enfeebled, his stare was as menacing as always.
The Emperor was discomposed. Feeling as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast, he unconsciously took a few steps back. Immediately, however, he put on his facade. The panic which was written on his face disappeared. Scanning his surroundings, he announced, “James should be executed for his crimes in accordance with the law. Members of the jury, please discuss amongst yourselves.”
Hearing this, they exchanged their opinions in whispers.
Outside the courthouse...
A convoy stopped in front of the courthouse‘s gates. The door opened, and a general in a black robe with a one–star badge on his shoulder walked out.
Around thirty years of age, his skin was tanned, and his expression was grim.
In his hands was the Blade of Justice. It was a sword passed down thousands of years ago.
Since antiquity, it represented the highest authority of the state. It gave the wielder the right to kill tyrant kings and treacherous courtiers.
The sword was preserved with the establishment of Sol.
Ever since then, it had been wielded by the commander–in–chief of the Black Dragon army.
