The crowd understood the truth of Alec’s situation: there had been no investigation.
The king had renounced the War God Mage Academy’s achievements in a single, unchallenged decree, using Alec’s actions as a convenient excuse.
But now, with Alec’s bold justification and reference to the law, the tables had turned, he had exposed the lack of due process, indirectly calling out the incompetence of those responsible for investigating the incident, and by extension, the king himself.
Though Alec had not openly insulted the king, but his words were an indirect slap to the monarch’s authority, forcing him into a corner before the eyes of thousands.
“Don’t push your luck, boy!” the Golden Armoured Knight growled, releasing a suffocating wave of aura toward Alec, as Alec’s word indirect meaning was picked up by many.
