"So, I was attacked by your minister, Besta. These on my head are proof of that."
In just half a day, Suwey once again stood in the main hall of the Dowagon Palace, facing King Gazer.
But this time, he was not followed by Zhu Cai and Shi Wan, but by the Kai Jin brothers who were tied with iron chains.
Suwey pointed at the wine that was blocked in mid-air by the barrier held up by wind magic above his head, signaling King Gazel sitting on the throne to concentrate.
"It was this brave dwarf who saved me."
Anyway, King Gazer is capable and he probably already knew the situation a long time ago. What Suwey said now was simply for the ministers around him.
The ministers who participated in the trading meeting between the two sides certainly understood that Suwey had something good in his hands that could make him rich, and as subjects, they would also gain a lot of benefits from this transaction.
Therefore, even if they were in the same camp as Minister Besta, they had to start resisting Besta's actions at this moment when their own interests were damaged.
"Your Majesty! Minister Besta must be exhausted lately. Please allow him a paid leave. As for the timeframe, let's set a small goal of five or six years."
The sight of the ministers submitting petitions one after another made Besta, who had facial injuries and felt that he had won a great victory, dumbfounded.
He never imagined that the demon he thought was here to make people laugh could actually make the ministers of Dowagun take sides, and even oppose him, with just a few words.
Before Besta could recover from his stunned look, he heard the man sitting on the throne, King Gazer whom he served, speak lightly.
"Suwey, how do you think we should solve this problem?"
The Dwarf King threw the question back into Suwey's hands, not only to test Suwey's attitude, but also because he felt doubtful because he couldn't see through Suwey's heart.
Besta, who was eager for revenge, didn't even think about why the ministers around him would protect Suwey so much. He now had only one thought, which was to put an end to his injuries and old grudges.
Suwey, who was standing in the audience, looked at him with disdain. Besta's performance at this moment was completely like that of a villain who was plotting against others.
If it was the king of Farmus Kingdom, Besta's trick should be useful.
But this is the armed kingdom of Dowagon, and its king is a powerful dwarf hero king. Any conspiracy and intrigue are clearly visible to him.
King Gazer sat sideways on the throne, supporting his chin with one hand, watching the farce below with an expressionless face. He had already made up his mind, but Besta didn't know it yet.
"The verdict will now be announced!"
With the sound of a gavel, the old man in a robe stood up and summarized the incident.
"The principal offender, Kaijin, is sentenced to twenty years of forced labor in the mines! The other accomplices will be sentenced to ten years of forced labor in the mines!"
"However, considering that Kaijin's actions helped the guests, the sentence is halved! It will be ten years of forced labor, and the other accomplices will be forced labor for five years!"
"That's it! The trial is over!"
This was the conclusion reached according to the laws of the Dwarf Kingdom. Because of the agent, Besta, who was beaten flat, was ultimately found not guilty.
"etc!"
At this moment, Besta had already revealed a smile of success. He could even foresee Kaijin, who was framed by him, working hard in the mine after being stripped of his identity.
