Chapter 237: Emperor’s anger

Viktor assumed something like this might happen. The saint couldn’t find anything to kill Viktor no matter how many assassins she sent. Instead of dying, seeing Viktor coming to her own house made her feel nothing but disturbances. Also, her charm magic didn’t work on him so it made her more frustrated.

The worst part of all was, he knew she could use charm magic and brainwash everyone. To kick him out of the palace, she was left with no choice but to follow the oldest trick.

...

"How dare you steal my staff!!"

The whole classroom became silent because of her scream. She then said, "I couldn’t find my holy staff this morning. At that moment, a poor man came to me saying that I needed to save his daughter. The man cried falling on his knee and I couldn’t help him at all.. hic...hic... then..then I asked the maids to search all over the palace and they found my staff in Viktor’s room... hic.. how dare you steal it! A poor innocent has left the world for you.."

Viktor was genuinely left speechless at her words. Not only him, some of the heroes excluding the prince ran close to her and decided to hold her close to calm her down.

Viktor rubbed his forehead by holding back his thin ice patience and said, "Who permitted maids inside my room without my permission?"

"That doesn’t matter. What matters is that you stole my staff and I found it in your room!!"

The prince frowned and complained by holding the saint closer to his body, "So you’re saying my fiance is not telling the truth?"

Looking at his mental state, Viktor noticed that it was cursed with charm magic so he was technically the saint’s slave. If the prince disobeys her words, he’s as good as dead. Of course, only the saint knows how to fix him but it’s going to make him mentally ill for the rest of his life.

And yes, Viktor doesn’t care about anyone because they are gonna wake up as a newborn baby somewhere again. Fixing someone’s illness was nothing but a useless thing to him.

Viktor sighed and looked at the saint who was faking her sadness. "Akira, what should I do with her?"

Akira was also tense as he knew bad deeds will kill her one day eventually. Of course, almost everyone in the classroom knew she was faking everything so they didn’t give her much attention.

He stood up and said, "Are you telling the truth, Inamori? If not, I will not tolerate your disrespectful act towards our professor."

"So, you’re trusting a fake professor over the same person who came to this world with you!!" She used her native language so nobody could understand.

Akira hesitated to speak at first but when he saw his system gave him a small signal he knew it was already late. He saw Inamori’s status decrease as she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She fell to the ground and started to cough blood. Her body was trembling in pain but there was no sign of poisoning or any diseases.

It was her system which had yet to count the digits.

As she started to cry due to her pain, she mumbled, ’W..what is happening to me.. system...why my mana points are decreasing? What is going on.. stop it..’

But the system stayed quiet.

Quickly, some maids came in and took her to the infirmary. The whole class was shocked by the incident.

After the commission died down, Viktor told the six students to take their seats because he had something important to announce.

"Listen well, kids. You all know she was lying but I am too tired to deal with kids. I am way older than you kids can even imagine. Me stealing a staff from her room? How ridiculous...’

Shaking his thoughts off his head, he took out his dark gold staff out of his dimension pocket which eventually shocked everyone.

Yes, only S rank mage can use a dimension room and one can easily beat a demon lord if he wants. Seeing Viktor casually using the dimension room made them feel like the saint had actually made a grave mistake messing with him. A ’S’ class mage could easily save a dying man so why would he even need her staff?

Viktor then held the staff and said, "To wield great magic, a human body needs to have a good channel that can control the flow of magic."

He swished his staff and magically, a human body anatomy appeared on the board.

"Mana is a gift from the gods. So naturally, humans couldn’t adapt to the flow of mana within their bodies. Slowly after so many centuries, humanity was finally able to figure out how to use mana and also, they came up with the items called magic items.

A magic item helps the user to cast magic spells if the caster doesn’t have a good mana vain. The reason why I am teaching you is not for passing exams. I am teaching you to use magic items to fight the demon lord. You don’t actually need a certificate from the academy. What you need is field experience. You need to level up as soon as you can before the demon can come out. So I am going to teach you and of course, give you magic items so you can fight with fewer struggles. Before that, I need you guys to prove that you are worthy of having my magic items for the sake of humanity."

Viktor then told everyone to follow him to the training ground.

...

Meanwhile in front of the emperor....

The prince was boiling in anger as he stood in front of the emperor, waiting for his approval to speak.

The emperor was taken aback by his only son’s sudden appearance at that hour when he was supposed to take his classes. He frowned a little and said, "You may speak."

"Your Highness, the guest you called has stolen my fiance’s staff and stopped her from curing a patient, causing an innocent’s death. Not only that, she was poisoned by a certain someone. I assume it was also his fault."

"Prince Alexis, you may show the proof of your bold statement."

"I’m afraid I currently don’t possess one. But if you b..."

Before he could finish his word, the emperor cut his words and said, "Then you may leave. Don’t waste my time."

"But father! I have proof! Butler, please call the maid who witnessed the guest entering the saint’s room early in the morning!"

His butler called the maid in his office. "I present the maid who works in the hero’s palace. Her name is Mary and she’s the Saint’s personal maid. Show your respect to the sun of the empire."

The maid entered the office and bowed before speaking. "I saw the man entering madam’s room this morning. He was going through all her stuff and leaving before I could even catch him. After I followed his trail, I found the man and eventually the staff."

The emperor looked at her with a killing intent and asked, "How did the man look?"

Gulping a mouth full of saliva, she said, "He had brown hair, and his skin was a little tanned."

The emperor’ Shadow knights told him in secret that there was no man who worked in the imperial palace that matched her description. It was obvious that she was babbling nonsense.

Soon after she finished her babbling, the emperor’s butler took out the orb which was gifted by Viktor, placed it on the desk and said, "Now place your hand on his orb."

The prince saw the white orb and asked, "May I ask what is that, Father?"

"A truth-detecting orb. After 1000 trials, this orb was selected as a national treasure. No lie can escape its grasp. Now, Mary. Place your hand here. It will judge whether you’re speaking the truth or not."

That was the moment she knew that she had messed up. She was in front of nobody but the emperor.

With her trembling hands, she placed her hand on the orb and in just a second, it turned red.

Which clearly indicated she was lying.

The knight behind the emperor slit her mouth with a swing of his blade, making her jaw drop to the ground. She became terrified as she saw her mouth wasn’t with her skill anymore. Blood was coming out of her mouth but before making another noise, the knight made a clean cut through her skull.

The emperor looked at the prince’s shocked expression and said, "I will break your engagement with the saint. I will not allow such an illiterate, greedy person in my house. Knight, make sure the prince doesn’t come out. You’re under house arrest for falsely accusing my guest."

"F..father!!!"

’Silence!!!!! I will not hear a word from your mouth until I order you to come out. Now get out of my sight!!
