Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 54 Lawsuit

As the sun was rising on the horizon, a beautiful young woman with long blond hair and light brown eyes opened the carriage door.

They had stopped before a large building that looked special.

Before her eyes were two large gates and behind them was a large building decorated with different jewels and statues on the road connecting to the building.

One statue of a goddess holding a scythe in one hand and balance in the other hand was particularly eye-catching.

The scythe had a red blade and white body which looked magnificent.

The statue was pure white with simple-looking golden cloths wrapped around her body.

Her eyes were pitch black as if void of any emotions.

She looked around this familiar place with anger in her eyes.

'Today is the day I get back what's mine. Just... if just Eon was here,' she clenched her fist.

The sole purpose of coming to the capital as soon as possible was because of today's hearing.

I wanted to give my precious son everything he could ask for here but now... he was taken away from me.

He wasn't with me when I wanted to tell him about everything he didn't know.

I wanted him to look up to me.

Seeing his excited, happy, and maybe angry expression was the only thing I was looking forward to.

To tell him about who I was.

Who he was.

I wanted to travel the whole capital city with him.

Maybe more than just the capital city.

We could have done many exciting things like kicking off these pigs that made me miserable.

They were the reason my little boy had to suffer and they were the reason he wasn't with me!

I was angrier with them now!

I was enraged!

"Nolen. It's ok. Calm down."

Brian hugged me from behind and pulled me back to reality.

Around us, people were passed out and some were choking while holding their necks.

I walked inside the building without looking at them.

Grandpa Zhen was there to take care of these small matters.

I stood beside a large wooden door on the ground floor.

This was the only room on the entire floor of the building and used only to solve big matters like mine.

Behind me was a young handsome man with light green hair and amber eyes.

Wearing a noble outfit underneath his white fur cape, he stood beside me with a dignified, confident expression.

The area was bustling with people even though it was so early in the morning.

Today was a good show for some while some would just remember it as their worst nightmare.

No one wanted to miss out on this opportunity.

You can guess from how the preparation for today was going on for the last few days for some people in the capital.

Though for me, it was going on for the last six years.

And there was no way in hell I was only here to win.

It was more than just one case that would be fought today.

I have my own counter sue for their any and all opposition.

I swore on my name that they won't be able to utter a word in there when today would come.

Today might have been the happiest day of my life but, now nothing mattered anymore.

I had lost the one that I wanted to give my everything.

My love, my time my everything.

Now... I had lost my son.

I had lost my pride and joy.

My greatest gift and everything I fought for.

I... had lost as a mother.

But this increased my fire to take everything back.

I knew... I knew my son wasn't dead.

He was alive, fighting for his life.

If anyone could survive hell and return back with that same smile, it would be him.

He could do it... I was sure.

So I had to do what he asked me to.

I had to look after my family.

My devastated husband had taken all the blame for what happened to us and the one that soon will be with us.

The new member of this family and the little sibling of my brave son.

My brave son who protected his parents from great danger.

Clearing the tears from my swollen eyes, I looked behind.

"Theo, Brian... let's go."

They nodded and the two guards who were covered in white armor announced our arrival and the gates opened.

At the end of the hallway was a huge table and three thrones, decorated in all types of gold and jewels.

Under them were two tables and in the middle was a giant ball of water, floating in the air.

Two tables were for the people who were to present the case and under them was a large number of small chairs decorated modestly in total darkness.

Those were the seats of the jury.

I walked up to the right table with three chairs behind it.

On the upper floors were the balcony of the spectators.

Common folks who considered themselves somehow related to today's hearing were present there.

As soon as we sat in our seats, the doors opened again and people of the opposition walked in.

A pig-like fat bastard in extravagant clothes and jewels.

Two normal-looking bastards who did dirty work behind everyone's backs.

And lastly, a man with a finely built body, covered in a noble purple suit.

A black cape around his clothes indicated his proficiency with darkness attribute.

As soon as my eyes fell on him, a sharp aura started oozing out of my body.

This bastard was the main reason I was here.

Though he was weaker than me by a large margin and struck at (tier-4) his entire life, he knew how to use his brain a bit.

I had let my guard down once in the past but now, things were different.

Now... I was a wounded mother who has lost her precious son.

I could very well kill him if I let go of my conscience.

"Oh! Former guild master. It has been a long time~."

Count Keres Lowell. The bastard who framed me for the murder of our former guild leader.

I was boiling with anger and now, I was smiling furiously.

"Oh, you little piece of trash. You have no idea what you did to yourself.

[Kneel]!"

At my command, all four of them fell to their knees.

Their minds went blank and the smirks on their faces instantly turned into fear.

These minor characters didn't know how much I had changed.

Now I wasn't just some cold princess who could be played around.

I had much greater authority from when I was here before them.

This level of authority could even be fatal for a (tier-6) mage at full power.

It wasn't potent back then but after Eon, everything changed for me.

p I never wanted to get strong before because I was a fool to think I was already strong.

I was nearing my potential now but, this much was enough for these shitty basterds for now.

"Nolen, enough. We are in the place of judgment. We can do that outside."

Fortunately, Brian was there and they were still alive. This was enough to conclude the small anger of right now.

I could read the thoughts on their faces.

Those horrified eyes, shaking bodies, unclear minds, and... guilt.

Neither that pig nor that bastard could have thought I would straight out attack them in a place like this.

'How could that bitch ger strong? Wasn't she already at some border village?!'

'This little bitch, was she always this strong?'

'Why is she so angry when we had done nothing right now!?'

They were the reason my previous baby was struggling in some dangerous woods.

If I was never there, things might have been totally different in the first place.

I sat down with anger still lurking on my face.

Time passed as I was lost in my agonizing thoughts and the voice that took me back was the voice of the start.

"Everyone! Show your respects to the judges of Meyat!"
