Chapter 6

“…….”

“…….”

“Heros, what have you done?”

“You don’t have to change it!”

Guh….in front of me is Iustitia, The Justice. This woman is the one who govern the balance of the right and wrong. Her title is too befitting for her or I could say that it’s fit her too much that it makes me want to puke.

“Do you know how your action will affect you?”

“Uh….probably?”

Even though this woman is quite a hard-headed person, I am quite “close” with her. Well on my early days, I am quite a mischievous boy so you could say that she is like the leader of a discipline committee while I’m a delinquent.

“Killing a Sovereign, breaking into a random world without consenting with Domesticis, and beating a < Magnus >. 2 violence act and 1 trespassing act. Do you have any reasons for this?”

“First it’s for my freedom, second I don’t even know how I was transported into this world and three, Philip the one who starts the fight.”

“Freedom? You’re already a retainer of a Sovereign, so you should follow on how the contract had been written. Do you have any proof? And lastly, he doesn’t have any intention to fight isn’t he? He is tasked to capture you, why don’t you oblige?”

“A contract? More like I’ve been forced to do contract with that damn woman. I should already been released from the contract a hundred years ago, now tell me why the hell the contract is still in effect? Proof? I don’t have it, if you want proof so much, go find Basileus’s soul and interrogated him. If he is asked to capture me, why the hell did he summon you?”

“…….In Socializing act, you can’t address a Sovereign like that. And I don’t know what kind of condition is in the contract with you and Amare, but no matter what happen, if the contract is still in effect there should be a reason. I already search for Basileus’s soul, and it seems to be dispersed from the underworld. And there is no reason for you to fight him even if he is just summoning isn’t it?”

Yup that just how it is, inside of this woman’s head there only rules, rules and rules. And what? Basileus’s soul had dispersed?

If you encounter this narrative on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

“What do you mean by that? Basileus’s soul had dispersed? That can’t be, right? I’m pretty sure I had just killed his physical body.”

With a solemn expression she shakes her head and stares at me.

“No, it is the truth, I already went into the underworld and ask Mortem about the registry. So there shouldn’t be any problem. Now do you have anything to say, Heros?”

See? She only saw the “right” part and will disregard any unconvincing reason immediately. This is why she is hard to deal with.

“I already told you that I don’t know anything about Basileus’s soul.”

“…….Well like always, you’re hard to reason with.”

It’s not me, it’s you! Damn it realizes it already!

“Anyway, the biggest fault that you had done is……waging war towards the Sovereign. There’s no changing that.”

“Hey, hey, it’s not wrong right? If both parties are consent there is no problem with dueling isn’t it?”

“Dueling doesn’t include killing.”

“What if there is no choice but to have only one ending where one of the parties are going to be killed by one another?”

“If you’re talking in “dueling” term, that shouldn’t happen.”

Thought so….

“Whatever let’s just get this straight, so what are you going to do now?”

“Bring you to the Judgement Hall and we can discuss it with the other Sovereign over there.”

So predictable. But not like I’m going to follow her.

“Being judge by sickos? Not happening~”

“I guess so……If just you end up into my place….You would already become my right-hand man.”

Uwehhh, I don’t even want to think about it. Me wearing that kind of uniform? Ugh…. I felt like I’ll become something scary…

“……I don’t even want to think about it.”

“………”

Suddenly terrifying aura emerges from her body and it covered this whole place. Uh it seems I had stepped into a landmine?

“Woah, woah. Relax Ius! It just a joke, a joke alright?”

“……Joke or not joke, this event will still go in this path isn’t? So let’s just move on to the next stage.”

Well at least she is a straightforward person. But…

“No way. You do know what will happen if both of us fight isn’t it?”

“It can’t be help.”

…….*Sigh*

This is why every one of them…..

“Are your mind only focused on your duty? Can’t you even have some guilt?”

“Guilt doesn’t have anything to do with rules. It can’t be help with the condition right now.”

“We’re not talking in a level of civilization here. It’s a “world”. You’re not annihilating a whole civilization, but a “world”. Can’t you even have some tiny guilt or compassion inside your heart? Aren’t you an ordinary being too before?”

“The present and the past, both of them are different yet it also same. Can you comprehend this? It was left behind by the last Sovereign who I take place from. For me I take it as an encouragement to move forward rather than looking into the past. So, events that happened in the past were not something that needs to be reason with the present time. What use is guilt and compassion if a problem can be solved by disregarding it?”

“It’s not a matter of reasoning, it’s a matter of conscious and sanity.”

“Conscious and sanity is not something that need to take a heed of with my current position.”

That is why all of you’re sick. Just why did I ended up into your circle.

“……And if I don’t want to fight?”

“Easy, I just have to force you.”
