THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 547. The Trial in Court

Sam's voice echoed around the already silent court. They didn't expect Sam to explode here.

The military commanders and generals present in the court today all looked at him in awe.

"What would you do if you didn't get the reason?"

One of the court officials who seemed very interested asked.

"I will take back everything I gave to this nation."

"Take everything back?"

"The cities I conquered, the armies I trained, the glory I gave to this nation. Everything."

When Sam said these words, everyone took a deep breath. They looked at Sam as if he was a madman. She had already walked on the edge of the razor but now she was dancing on it. He directly said that he would be a traitor and discuss treason right in front of the emperor in the middle of the Imperial palace.

There was no way he would survive this predicament.

The emperor who was calmly listening to what Sam said, smiled and this was the first expression he showed. Everyone felt that the emperor would kill Sam as soon as they saw that smile.

"You're talking about betrayal right in front of me?"

"It would only be treason if I betrayed first."

"You're talking enough, aren't you?" The emperor chuckled and continued.

"Today, I'll not only give you a proper explanation for the humiliation you suffered in the ceremony, but I'll also give you a reason why you shouldn't betray the nation."

Only now did the court officials come out of their shock and one of them stood up and said to the emperor in a serious tone.

"Your Majesty, I think we have no reason to do that. He was a traitor who hid so much hatred for the nation. He will be a threat to the safety of the nation and the people. We have to announce his crime and execute him."

"Yes, Your Majesty. Someone as vile as him and so arrogant and so greedy for money and glory will be a threat someday. It's better to stop it while we still can."

Everyone gave various suggestions, mostly aimed at killing Sam.

"Did I ask one of you to speak?" The emperor said in a cold tone.

"I'm sorry Your Majesty." Everyone suddenly stopped and said in unison.

The emperor looked at the butler and said.

"I've never been a tyrant, but you made me look like this in front of a war hero. If you don't tell me, why you're doing this, you'll wish you were dead. I'll let you experience every torture that exists in the Empire's dungeon."

The chief officer immediately knelt down and said.

"Your Majesty, this is Minister Soma's son, He told me to do it and he threatened to kill my family if I made a mistake. There have been several people lurking near my house since the last few days, when I was still considering this. .

Forgive me Your Majesty."

He started prostrating with tears and snot running down his face.

The Emperor sighed and said.

"You're an overly vulnerable butler. I apologize on behalf of the minister and the court. But I can't let this pass you by, you're relieved of your duties as a palace maid, you'll be transferred to the imperial farm and you'll be given a place to live within the ranch. You must meet the needs of the Imperial Guard Beasts. Take your family and report to them at night."

"Thank you Your Majesty." The butler breathed a sigh of relief. With that the emperor gestured for her to stand by the side and look at the minister standing on the other side. He looked down and his right hand trembled.

"Minister Soma, I want to meet your son now. I hope you don't mind."

"Of course, Your Majesty. It would be an honor for him."

He said it with a trembling voice.

An imperial guard moved in and went to the Minister's residence. He came back after a few minutes.

The young man walking beside the imperial guard had a carefree attitude as if he did not care about anything that happened here.

Sam recognizes this guy, he's one of Paradise's most permanent customers. He's whoring like there's no tomorrow. Even the woman in that part of the brothel in heaven was an acquaintance of this man.

Sam had seen him quite a lot during his time in heaven.

"Sarn greets Your Majesty." He entered and bowed to the emperor.

"Sarn, you are here because you are a suspect in the matter that occurred at the Empire ceremony. You have to tell the truth, otherwise I will throw you into the Empire's dungeon and give the torture full access. Do you understand?" The emperor said in a serious tone.

Sarn became serious immediately, he saw the rest of the people in the court and the butler finally, suddenly and his entire body was trembling in fear.

He did not expect this situation to be revealed. As for Sam, he didn't think that he would dare go out and blow something out of proportion.

"I understand Your Majesty."

"This officer claims that it was you who gave the slip to him and asked him to send it to Sam. What did you say about that?"

"I ..." She did not know what to say, she started moving her lips but no words came out, she looked at her father for help.

His father looked at him coldly, his eyes hinting at something else.

"I did it Your Majesty." He agreed in a low voice.

"Why?"

*PACK*

At this moment, a slap landed on Sarn's head and he fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, this brash son of mine is jealous, he must have done so because of Private Sam's great achievement. After all, being the minister's son gave him a lot of pressure and he was burning jealous because of his achievements from a mere soldier.

This could be considered a quarrel among the younger generation. I hope you forgive her."

All the officials sneered at his response. Everyone knew he was trying to protect his son, especially emphasizing their status as ministers and soldiers.

"Your Majesty, I have one important question to ask. How did Minister Sarn's son get the scroll of my achievements that was supposed to be on stage with the other scrolls? Shouldn't they be with the Minister? Over where? What is my performance roll? And this was an imperial ceremony, it was supposed to be a ceremony that honored the contributions of the soldiers.

Is this something for the Minister's son to play? He can do as he pleases in this ceremony, I want to ask, who exactly is leading this ceremony?

Did the minister's son think that he was above the emperor himself?

Even if it was set aside, for the minister to assume this was a quarrel among the youths, was the honor value of a soldier so small in your eyes? Or are you implying it's just because I'm an ordinary person? I'm pretty sure, Yodha who is in the same generation as your son has better achievements, being a battalion commander at such a young age, why didn't she do that to him? Because he's Marshall's son.

Or because he's a dragon and I'm a human? After all, I don't even have any relationship with the minister's son. I had never met him before let alone talked to him to provoke jealousy. If only serving the country as a soldier and contributing to the war could spark this much jealousy in the son of a noble and he could vent his anger in such a prestigious ceremony, who is responsible? Is it just because we have to just die without any achievement so as not to be humiliated?"

Sam's words left everyone dumbfounded. He was too eloquent and he overestimated everything but they could not refute him. He clearly implies that the minister has something to do with it and if the minister does not explain it properly, his work ethic will be questioned for the rest of his life.

When there was no response from the minister except a cold stare, Sam said.

"Your Majesty. I want an answer immediately."

"Minister Soma, an answer."

"I confess. I'm the one who did it and I purposely made this all to humiliate Sam."

"Why?"

"I don't have a reason, I just don't like his face." The minister's answer was really frustrating. Everyone knows he's lying.

The Emperor looked at him coldly and said.

"Throw him into the Empire's dungeon and do level-3 torture, his titles, lands, honor are all stripped away. Until he tells you the real reason why he did that, don't let him die. Take advantage of the Empire's head users if you have to."

Everyone looked at the scene with their mouths wide open, they did not expect that the minister would lose all his glory in just a few seconds. But few understood that this was not over and the emperor continued.

"Take the minister's son and do the same torture for him. Find any information they can provide. I need results in a week.

The trial will be adjourned for one week and after the hearing is over, another open court ceremony will be conducted to honor Sam's soldiers separately.

And on behalf of the imperial palace, the throne, I apologize for the humiliation you suffered."

The Emperor said as he stood up from his throne and Sam bowed in response as he said.

"I don't deserve your apology, Your Honor, I thank you for being fair and just."
