Thousand Lives

Chapter 7

"SLAP"

Loud noise echoed throughout the court hall, breaking everyone's train of thoughts. Every single life jerked their heads to the source of the noise, only to see the empress half bent and prime minister Yu standing straight in front of her with his right hand in the air. At the very first glance, they could say that he had slapped the empress in the middle of the court.

"Is this how I raised you. You are a disgrace to the Yu family name. How dare..." Prime minister was barking like a dog at the empress which was cut off by her.

"Law is blind not the Lawkeeper." Mika said still glaring towards the person sitting on the throne. "Do you even know what 'EMPEROR' stands for." He said emphasising word emperor as he continude "It means 'father of nation', a person who looks after every single life residing within his wings. If you think you are ruler then you are damn wrong. You are just a slave, slave of this throne, slave of people. You are here to ensure that they are having proper meals, primary nacessities and proper place to live. You are here to keep them safe, not to blindly killing them without getting in depths of matter's truth." He said without stopping, even to catch his breath. "You know, the richies you are living in, has came from those lowly beings's hard work. The food you eat, clothes you were, place you live in, your jwelleries, other antics and everything came from their blood, sweet and tears. You do not earn anything, the people you speak lowly of are the one paying for your expansive livelihood.And most important fact to not to be left out 'They are loyal.' And here you are just neglecting their existence for nobilty. An animal would be better for that place though it can't do judgement but it also won't bring anjustice to them." He took a deep beath after speaking for so long that too nonstop, he added "A puppet, moved by his own subordinates is not suitable for such a high position."

He than moved from his place towards general Mu. Coming in front of him, he stop in his steps than further said "If his majesty, the emperor, thinks that I have committed a crime than , here take this and slay my existance in half. I am standing here and won't even flinch a bit." He threw the sword, grabing from general Mu's waist, straight, only one step away from emperor's feet. Once again stoping everyone's breath.

Mika moved back where he was previously standing " 3 hours, I have been standing straight for 3 damn hours outside. And now here too. At least you guys should have prepared one seat to rest. If not here then arrange one outside." He complained like a child as if he wasn't the person who has stopped their breath with just his words.

He sat on floor makind loud 'thud', his posture remained of an old granny from countryside, sitting on her bad. Although he sat like that and didn't utter anything else, didn't meant that he was calm. He was still angry, sitting with frowned brows and dark eyes. He was determined to give justice to the maid and so many others like her, whose likes were considered on per with insects.

Everyone in court were stunned at Mika's performance. They were confused on how to react. It was like a storm came unannounced, made a chaos then died down. Long Xin and Han Zhi couldn't recover from shock of that idiot saying such cleaver things. The person they knew since for at least a month now, has behaved like nothing but idiot and weirdo. She always said that she was a genius but never looked like one from her actions. And here she is saying some thing only a wise soul would say. What the hell happened to her? did a wise soul possessed her? No mattter what the cause is, they were sure that she , who has lifted her finger on the emperor and also insulted him in a worst way, will only be sentenced to a cold, cruel punisment. The person sitting on the throne was one's big brother, the other one's father and an emperor but even so they both decided to stick to the idiot until the end, no matter what consequences they have to face, cauce what she just said made that much respact for her in their hearts.
