Chapter 1882 Argue

"Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?" Gilbert was struck dumb by the king's sudden orders. They had just entered the hall, and this was what welcomed them.

"Didn't you know? Odin deliberately hid the fact that he had the Purgatorial Tripod, and he had no intention of handing it over to the royal family. That is enough proof of his attempt to incite a rebellion. Do you not agree, Leader Gilbert?" The king was fuming in anger and continued, "The Purgatorial Tripod that is sealing Phillip's soul is guarded by the royal family for generations now. Taking it without permission is strictly prohibited. Who knows what he will do with it?"

Hearing the king's argument, Gilbert was at a loss for words. This was what he was afraid of the moment Rocky told him about the tripod. Thus, he could just turn to Rocky and hint at the young man to explain it himself.

"Your Majesty, it is true that I have the Purgatorial Tripod with me, but I did not mean to hide the truth without any good reason. I was just afraid that things might get even worse if it was handed over to the royal family. I don't think it is a good thing if too many people know that the tripod has been taken out of the Demon Sealing Palace!" Rocky argued with reason.

"Now, you are saying that you want to protect me? Then, why didn't you tell me that you have it when you and Layla met with me? If Enoch did not tell me that you have the tripod, when are you planning to reveal it?" Of course, the king deemed Rocky's explanation as questionable. The moment he

"Prince Enoch, logically speaking, Prince Zain's strength and your strength should be above Odin's. Let's say that Prince Zain was caught off guard. Then, why did you let your nephew be hurt to such an extent? Furthermore, you also let the culprit take away the Purgatorial Tripod? I thought you said that you were also at the Demon Sealing Palace at that time? So, did you just watch all of this happen before your eyes?" Gilbert asked with inquisitive eyes.

Enoch gritted his teeth, knowing how shrewd Gilbert was. But of course, he would lie through his teeth just to get out of this predicament. "That's because he played a trick and then summoned a mysterious helper! Don't dare accuse me that I did nothing while your Godly Genius was stealing the tripod!" Then, he tried changing the subject and said, "Odin, if you really are tasked to protect the tripod, then fine, you did your job. But now that you are back, you should hand it over to the royal family. If you are still unwilling to give it back, then it just proves that you have an ulterior motive for getting it!"

"I've had enough! Stop arguing, all of you!" The king eventually got annoyed by all the arguments that he heard. Enoch and Rocky had their own version of the story, and the only one who could prove which one was lying was Zain. However, in his current condition, they could not do anything. Hence, the king eventually decided that they would have to wait until Zain woke up before he made his judgment.
