A silence enveloped the room.
The old man's declaration was very clear, once he chose the side. He wouldn't be budging it seemed.
"Do you have anything to say in your defense?" The Mage King said as he looked at Max. There was obviously no one to defend him here and he had to do it himself.
"He ended up in that condition because he failed to admit defeat. What happened was just an accident….but some people do like to exaggerate it…" Max said with a calm look.
Few of the people couldn't help but smile hearing his reply.
"You could have subdued him but you didn't? It seems that your intention was to kill to begin with…" The Lord of the Oven's house spoke calmly. The kid had potential. Was there any reason for him to let such a human go? No, definitely not…..not to mention he already had a tussle with his sons and side from that....it was rare occasion for his two sons to agree on something.
