Chapter 84 The Just King
The guards stared at Zukor, who was in a guard uniform, his face concealed with a cloth, in surprise... Both Glad and Nlad were silently walking in front of him, both Handcuffed.
"Taking them to the cell, don't worry."
Zukor said to the guards, while walking past them. The guards looked at one another, and shrugged indifferently.

After walking out of sight, the two removed the handcuffs in their hands, and threw it to the ground.
"We have to move before they notice we're gone." Glad said, looking the at 10 meters tall wall in front of him.
Zukor looked around in confusion... "Don't this look too easy to you guys? That Kid called Aaron won't be easily deceived." He said.
"Can't you for once think of something good?! We just need to jump this wall, and we'll be in the city, then outside the kingdom." Glad said with a slight frowned.
"Look, We can arrange this crates and use it to climb over." Nled suggested.
"Good Idea!"
Glad quickly walked up to him, and the two started moving all the crates towards the wall... Zukor just stood there, moving his confused gaze around.
'This is too easy.' He thought.
"What are you standing there for?! Come and give us a hand!"
Hearing Nlad, Zukor quickly walked towards them, helping with the crates.
'How did a king get this low?! Even helping Criminals to escape.' He thought.
After some seconds, they finally arranged the crates in order, Glad moved first, then Zukor, and lastly Nlad...
They finally escaped.

[In the palace.]
[Throne Hall.]
Aaron stood with hands folded behind his back, his cold gaze fixed on the five guards, kneeling in front of him.
"How did three powerless convicts escape from under you noses without anyone noticing something?! How?!"
"We're sorry my king, We thought the man taking them to the cell was a guard... We'll receive any punishment granted."
The first guard said, his head lowered.
Aaron nodded at them, turned around and walked back to his throne, then sat down... Around the Hall; Lilly, Vince, Kira, Emily, and all the higher nobles and top figures were all gathered.
"Get up, you all can leave."
"Huh?"
The guards looked up at him in surprise.
"Didn't you hear me? I said you all can leave."
They all nodded.
"Thank you for your generosity, My King."
They bowed, and quickly walked away from the hall.
The Nobles and top figures all turned their heads to Aaron, utterly stunned.
"Did all of you think I'll punish them?"
Aaron asked, moving his gaze around everyone in the hall.
Some nodded, while others remained silent.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"I'm not a tyrant, and also not a good king... I punish those who deserve it, and pardon those who are innocent... Now..." He moved his gaze around everyone, and pointed a finger at an old man.
"Come forward."
The man looked at himself in surprise, exhaled and walked forward, standing in front of the throne.
"I heard you're the head of the blacksmiths in our kingdom, right?"
After dealing with everyone, Aaron stood up from the throne, and nodded with a smile.
"Ok everyone, there'll be a feast tomorrow, please invite your friends and families over... I have an important announcement to make."
The people all nodded with smiles on their faces.

[Night time.]
[Demon Kingdom.]
Zukor and the two Beast folks climbed over a wall, and entered a huge Mansion... They silently sneaked into the house through an open window... After entering the kitchen, they walked towards the sitting room, planning on heading upstairs.
Suddenly, the lights all came on, catching the three red-handed... Literally, Glad held a chicken's lap in hand.
They all turned their heads to the couches on their right, seeing an old man staring at them with a smile, a tea cup in hand.
"I know you'll come to me, Zukor." He said with a smile.
"Old man Fico?"
"Come on, Boy. Who are these two?"
"Oh, This is Glad, and he's Nlad... Guys, this is the man I told you about... He's my Mother's distance relative."
"Oh?"
Glad nodded, taking a big bite off the chicken meat in his hand.
Old man Fico moved his gaze on the two, and stopped on Zukor.
"You were so careless with your decisions! Why didn't you call to my notice before going to war? Now look, A kid is now the king... While you... Sneaking around the place."
"I... I don't have any excuse. But I want my kingdom back!"
"First of all, It's not your kingdom..." Old man Fico sighed heavily.
"Sit and have tea with me, There are things you need to know."
Zukor nodded, walked towards a couch and sat down, the two wolves stood at the side, close to the stairs, watching them.
"What's going on, Uncle?"
"What about your Mum? All this while, have you ever thought about her?"
"She... She can take care of herself, and besides, she isn't my real mother, so why should I be worried about her?"
"She's not your real mother, but she helped you take over the throne."
"That's because I promise to pleasure her every night... I don't care if that bitch dies! For gods' sake, She could plan her own Son's death because of pleasure, what do you think she'll do to me, who isn't her son?"
"Weeee wiiipp!!"
Glad whistled in amazement. "Wow! You're good. Having sex with you adoptive Mum, Impressive!"
Zukor glared at him, and turned his head back to Fico.
"Uncle, You need to help me, Mum told you to look after me before she died. So I need your help now... Please uncle, you're the leader of the blacksmiths, so if you can give us some money, weapons, and Armors.... I'll be grateful... Don't worry, I'll repay you back."
Old Man Fico thought for a moment, and placed the cup on the table.
"There's only one issue to your request." He sighed: "I'm already dead."
"....!!"
"....?!!!"
".....?!"
"What do we have here?"
"How Nice?"
"Oh?! Zukor is here too?!"
"We hit a Jackpot!"
"More money!!"
The three looked around them, the next moment; their eyes widened, and their faces turned paled.
