A Girl Who Was Told "You Have No Talent" Turned Out To Be A Talented Monster - Chapter 76.2
This was not a case in which royalty would normally appear. Behind this move was Redner, seated next to the King.
He was having a good view of the situation, while also initiating his plot to finish off Baider, his pawn, that Baider didn’t know.
At the same time, he wanted to show his brother, the King, how unnecessary adventurers were.
Of course, this was only possible if Baider was doing a decent job.
Baider was seated in the knight’s seat on the left side. The knight played the role of a so-called prosecutor. This time, Baider was playing that role because he had directly captured Litty and Dande.
Next to him, Luciole, the young captain of the Gold Griffon Corps, was observing Litty.
“Is Ilysis absent?”
“It seems so, Captain Luciole.”
“Hmmm…”
Luciole thought that even a serious girl like Ilysis could sometimes do something questionable as he watched the situation. And as usual, his focus was mostly directed at Litty and what Ilysis might be thinking regarding this situation.
In the midst of all this, the chairman of the court gave an overview of the case and then asked Litty and Dande if they admit guilty, Litty’s answer was obvious.
“I didn’t do it.”
“Yes, I did…”
“There seems to be a discrepancy, isn’t there? Knight Baider.”
The chairman stared at Baider. Although somewhat intimidated, Baider was confident of victory.
He had prepared sufficient cards to support his claim. One of them was Yggdrasia.
Proving the legitimacy of a statement was not proven only by what the statement contained. But also by the person who made the statement.
“Your Honor, I would like to ask Aldis-san of Yggdrasia to testify.” (Baider)
“…The girl Litty standing over there used to be my apprentice. I don’t normally accept just about anyone. But she insisted on it so much that I was forced to bring her along because of her enthusiasm.” (Aldis)
The courtroom was abuzz, as the fact that Yggdrasia had taken an apprentice was, of course, unknown.
Litty was expressionless. She was confident that no matter what happened, she was not in the wrong.
“From that time on, whenever she didn’t like something, she would take it out on some other person or something. When it comes to training, it’s tough, of course. However, Litty put her own lack of ability on the shelf and kicked a pot of soup up in the air at the worst time.” (Aldis)
“Oh my…”
“How ungrateful!”
No, it was the other way around, Litty argued in her mind, as the pot Aldis kicked up almost hit her.
But Litty knew there was no point in such an argument.
“I see. The rough behavior was confirmed on a regular basis, as he mentioned.”
“Then she ran away…and we met again just recently here in the capital. Oh, it’s like she did it again.” (Aldis)
Those in the audience seemed to accept Aldis’ claim. Who said it, that’s what matters most.
If a person who earned credibility by producing a good track record said that what was white was black, people would believe that it was black.
“I…no, I put a lot of effort into training adventurers here in the capital. Of course, she is no exception. But…it is difficult. Education is…”
“Can I speak?”
The one who raised his hand was Luciole, the captain of the Gold Griffon squad. Baider was surprised to hear this unexpected person speak up.
“Knight Luciole, you may speak.” (Baider)
“I heard that Aldis has trained Litty himself, but her behavior did not improve. In other words, isn’t Aldis responsible for her behavior?” (Luciole)
“Wha…!”
The wind in the courtroom changed a little again at this perfectly reasonable argument.
Litty was thankful in her heart for the unexpected help.
“Isn’t that rather rude?”
“Hmmm, but it is the case, isn’t it? It seems to me that you want to make this Litty girl look bad at all costs.” (Luciole)
“Huh?”
“Quiet.”
Aldis’s temper never abated despite the chairman’s words. He stared at Luciole as if he would tear him apart.
Baider, finding the situation taking the wrong direction, played another card, saying, “Your Honor, there were people who witnessed some of the property damage crimes. We have also managed to find other criminals involved. One of those criminals has already admitted being guilty of the crime and also mentioned Litty’s involvement with them. I would like to question him.”
