Chapter 1770 King of Bearling -Part 8
"Hah. I was wondering how am I going to refute that denial the Queen made. Guess this unexpected development is going to make things a little more smooth sailing." Jin thought to himself and the System also agreed that allowing the Masked Announcer to handle it would be a better choice as well as a good show to watch.
"For those who don't, well come give Three Winged Angel Dungeon a try and I promise I will greet you. I mean, you guys built an entire city around me and called this Capital not by my master's name or by the name of the dungeon but to some weird Bear?"
"If that's the case, why not give it to the challenger Jin? He has bears in his squad. Grey Bears if I remembered correctly." The Masked Announcer laughed as more reinforcements had arrived and even the Leader of the Royal Guards, Steele came to the scene.
As much as the reinforced guards would like to pounce on the Masked Announcer, Steele on the contrary gave an explicit order not to draw their weapons or even aim at him. "Anyone who does that would be failing to obey my orders!" Steele shouted and the rest obeyed, even the Royal Assassins who had prowled to the top of the pillars, ceiling, and chandeliers kept their weapon in their scabbards.
"Dear Steele. It's nice to see you again. How have you been?"
"The Masked Announcer. I never expect you to be out of that stinky dungeon. You now prefer to interfere with the human world?"
"Your words would never scare me, but thanks to you. The Leader of the Royal Guards acknowledged my presence and that I did not need to put my credentials out for the public to see! In any case, just a word of warning." The Masked Announcer's killing vibe was intensely strong as he stared at the Queen.
"Don't you dare lie again. This is your last chance." The Masked announcer said in a voice that proved that horror does not need to be a physical object. The Queen tried to stand strong but her legs were shaking from the murderous intent that the Masked announcer was emitting.
"I as the Queen of the Empire, retract the statement I had made before. The authorisation letter of challenge approved by the King of Three Winged Angel Dungeon is indeed here with us and it states that Lord Jin has been allowed to fight in the capital due to the authorisation that the Dungeon King had given. The rules of the old cannot be applied to Jin as he received grace from the King of the Three Winged Angel Dungeon to overwrite such a rule."
"See, why make things difficult and lie? You cost the lives of one …two, five people's lives because of your lies. And If I am not wrong, they are one of the few strongest and longest serving guards too, am I right Steele?" The Masked Announcer said Leader Steele's name without any designation or salutation for he did not care of the hierarchy that humans made.
"They could have been a great boon towards Jin's struggle to get the throne, but you have to lie." The Masked Announcer wallows with regret that he has to do something to make the game less fun. "So, now that you said it in front of the public, anything else you wish to reveal?"
"Nothing else."
"Really? What about the hmmm Dragons?" Masked Announcer said and the Queen stood her ground. She did not anything about the dragons.
"That is not related to the challenge."
"Are you sure? They are actually one of the reasons why I allowed them to challenge you."
"Then that is not your business. The challenge or letter did not state that I need to report anything to you about the dragons."
"You are not wrong with that… hmm let me have a look at the contract." The Masked Announcer asked and one of the Queen's servants fetched it and passed it to him. He read it for a moment and then tore it apart.
For a moment, Queen Thessalia was delighted that the Masked announcer just destroyed the authorisation letter. Jin who was watching the broadcast nearly went bonkers until the Masked Announcer took out another piece of rolled up letter for the Queen to see.
"There is an addendum to the contract. I will get Jin to sign again, so you don't worry about that. Besides, the previous one had yet to be signed by you too. A little irresponsible to the challenger who had sincerely passed you this paper for an official fight, don't you think?"
"It might be so yes but one must consider the actions and consequences especially when it comes to ruling not just the capital but the Empire as well."
"Hmmm. When I say read it, I expect you to read it but thankfully for you, I am in a good mood. So, continue, go ahead and read it."
That was where the Queen saw a new clause where the truth of the Dragon Mechanoids was truly the fault of the Royals. There was no going back from here. If she were to lie, she knew she would be mercilessly struck down.
"So, what did the new clause said?" The Masked Announcer continued to taunt her and the Queen kept quiet for a while, thinking of ways how to say it. "Come on, don't waste our time. Say it. Is it really that hard to speak it out loud?"
Seeing how it was so difficult for the Queen to announce to the public, the Masked Announcer sighed and used his magic to slip the paper away from her and into the hands of the Leader Commander of the Royal Guards.
"Steele, you should have balls of steel, right? Hehe. Say it out loud and clear for the public broadcast to hear." The Masked Announcer changed his tone for the last sentence.
"In accordance to the additional decree by the King of Three Winged Angel Dungeon, the Royals have to speak out the truth with regards to the Monster Mechanoids in public for the people to hear. More questions can be asked by the Masked Announcer."
"Lies will not be tolerated."
