Chapter 462: Justice or Tyranny?

Arthur felt a rune take hold of his consciousness, imprisoning it. As his frown deepened, he tried to shake the rune off. However, he could not do it unless he used his decryption abilities. It was the wiser choice to stay put in this situation than to run away. After all, he was not the traitor but the victim.

The other lords seemed to be aware of the situation, as their outlines sat calmly on their pillars. However, the nobles below were not as calm in comparison, and they chattered away like a million cockroaches.

Arthur could make out their conversation, and it mostly involved their astonishment. It seems that most of them had no news that this war summit would also be a trial for the king to weed out the traitors from his midst.
