My King System Chapter 43

"So what are you going to do when those people come back?" Meurig asked.
"Don't worry, I already have that covered. You two can go back now, I only summoned you two to inform you that it might take a while before you can roam around the world freely," Yuki responded.
"Can you go back to the crown now?" Yuki asked.
Without having to respond, both of Yuki's undead summons returned to the crown.
[Open inventory]
Yuki placed the crown back into his inventory and awaited the return of his interrogator. Even though he had informed his friend that he had a plan, that was false. Yuki quickly needed to come up for an excuse as to why his seven allies had died in a way which was believable.
"How did they even find out about them in the first place."
"I had made sure that I incinerated all of their bodies so that there was no proof. The only way they could've found out was through someone's ability."
"Using the same weapon I created to defeat me, how fitting."
"However, my legacy has just started, no amount of research will bring me down!" Yuki thought to himself.
He continued to think for a bit over an hour until he decided on the perfect story to tell. Once he had accomplished that, Yuki patiently awaited his questioning. After what felt like weeks, Carmi finally arrived at the cell. Behind him were 3 figures which Yuki assumed were the people he once thought of as friends. Carmi entered the cell and closed the door behind him. He had brought a book as well as a pen to write down notes with.
"The 4 hours you had been given have passed. The interrogation shall now commence," Carmi said.

Yuki nodded his head in agreement.
"I only have a few questions so please be cooperative so this process takes a lot less time and we can move on with our day," Carmi sighed.
"What is your explanation for the death of the 2 victims you had killed in the kingdom who went by the names of Demosthenes and Kumara?" Carmi asked.
"Oh so that's what the white haired man's name was," Yuki thought to himself.
"Well I only killed them as a form of self defence, I didn't have any other choice," Yuki said.
"According to witnesses, you were attempting to harm Demosthenes, what do you have to say to that," Carmi asked.
"The whole altercation started within the shack, Demosthenes's group came in and tried to assault me and everything that took place after that was me defending myself," Yuki protested.
"Where would that shack be now?" Carmi asked.
"Well, I kinda destroyed the entire thing when my sword's power went on a rampage," Yuki replied.
"Can you demonstrate that so-called power?" Carmi asked.
"No I can't, it was apparently an accident and I will need to reach at least level 60 to use those powers at will."
"Well at least that's what a mage told me," Yuki replied.
"Thank you for all your corporation, that'll be all for today."
"Your court hearing will take place tomorrow morning, get well rested," Carmi advised.
Carmi stood up and walked out of the cell and the 3 figures that were waiting for him outside the cell followed suit.
"Great, everything is going just as I expected," Yuki said to himself.
It was night time so Yuki lied on his cell bed and closed his eyes. He instantly fell asleep. Yuki hadn't realized how exhausted he had been from the dungeon.

The next morning, Yuki was awakened to the sound of knocking from outside his cell. Yuki stood up and when he looked, he recognized Carmi. Behind him were Katsumi, Jobon as well as Rui. He didn't say a single word to them and neither did they.
With no resistance, Yuki began to follow Carmi out of the cell.
"So no handcuffs?" Yuki asked.
"There would be no point to them, every level 2 player is strong enough to break one of them like a twig. We could ask another level 2 player to dedicate their ability into creating custom handcuffs for an occasion such as this, but that would be a waste of resources as level 2 players are few and far between at this time. The world needs more time to develop and cultivate strong people so we can use the abilities of others freely," Carmi replied.
"No need to over complicate things, I got the point," said Yuki.
Yuki continued to follow Camri until they finally reached the courthouse. Yuki kept walking until he reached the courtroom. There was a judge and 2 people standing at her side. Yuki assumed that they were the other level 2 players Camri had mentioned. Other than that, there were also the mercenaries that Yuki had beat up which worked for Demosthenes.
"All rise. This court is now in session," the judge said.
"Now Yuki, is it true that you have murdered 9 people so far. Yes or no?" The judge asked.
"Yes, but-" Yuki began to say.
"I only asked for a yes or no," the judge interrupted him.
"Now you claim that 2 of the 9 murders were against self defense. Let's say that were to be true, how do you explain the other 7 killings?"the judge asked.
"Your honour, I would like to say that I did not kill them on purpose," Yuki argued.
"What do you mean? Explain yourself at once!" the judge demanded.
"Well one day as we were hunting monsters in the forest, me and one of my so called allies got separated from the group. As we continued walking through the forest, a bunch of monster incense activated and brought tens of monsters all to us. I had just recently reached level 2 and my ability timer had also reset which allowed me to change it into an AoE type ability. I went on a rampage and destroyed all the monsters in my way, however as a consequence I accidentally killed my beloved allies as well," Yuki explained.
[Activate Skill: Faker]
Yuki began to make himself fake cry at will which made the judge feel sympathy towards him.

Steps of the Immortal Tree
Evan stood on a hill, staring calmly at the gate of his former clan. A crowd waited behind him, some eyeing the clan in an unresigned manner, others looking at their spiritual support. Some of the young children shivered at the gnawing cold. Wind howled in his ears, seemingly deploring his fate. A silvery cloud drifted over the mountains surrounding the compound. The roar of a river could be heard from underneath its frozen surface. He had reincarnated many years ago. Hailed as a prodigy from his youngest age, Evan had seemingly tread on a path to invincibility. He had gotten married with his childhood sweetheart and had cultivated with a group of friends, forming a considerable power of his own. Yet now, here he was, devoid of any path to move forward, with his energy locus destroyed. His wife was dead and his branch had been kicked out of the clan. He looked at his progeny that had been entrusted to him. The baby seemed content in his father’s strong arms, too young to understand anything but the warmth of the father’s beating heart. Signaling to the people behind him, he turned around and the procession gradually disappeared in the distance, as the sun gradually set and the stars acted as a guide. --- Author-san here.
