Chapter 1085: Chapter 639: Court in Session (Part 3)
Dorothy: “……”
Looking at the familiar courtroom scene in front of her, the homebody witch widened her eyes with a slightly embarrassed expression.
Meanwhile, Lord King Yama had also tidied up her attire, then walked up to the high platform with her head held high.
There was a plaque hanging above the high platform, inscribed with the words “The Bright Mirror Hangs High”, and on the round pillars flanking the platform were written “Right and Wrong Clearly Distinguished, Good and Evil Clearly Judged”.
The Judging Witch, who had long been waiting beside the main seat of the platform, kindly took out a tall cushion and placed it on the seat that was originally of normal height when she saw her master arrive.
Upon seeing this, Lord Yama’s expression flushed slightly. She looked with some reproach at this recently promoted subordinate; it was her clever handling of affairs that had led to her promotion, but where had her keen intuition gone?
She caught a glimpse of the observing Witches below from the corner of her eye, feeling as though her authority was somewhat undermined by that cushion.
Nevertheless, since the cushion had already been prepared, it wouldn’t be appropriate to have it removed.
She deftly leaped onto the cushioned seat and nodded contentedly.
Perfect, the height was just right. Although her intuition seemed a bit off today, probably distracted, she still paid great attention to detail in other aspects.
Especially when she noticed that the other Yin Cha had sensibly brought chairs for the guests.
Indeed, having a good assistant is valuable, and the rest of this blockheaded bunch has shown some improvement lately.
Clap…
Seeing that the esteemed guests were all seated, Lord Yama picked up the gavel from the desk and gave it a powerful strike, the clear sound echoing throughout the hall.
“Court in session.”
“Confess and be lenient, resist and be strict. Defendant below, do you have anything to confess?”
Lord King Yama said.
Though small in stature, as soon as she entered her work state, she exuded genuine authority, a powerful aura enveloping the entire hall. Even Dorothy, seated at the side, felt a heavy pressure.
“Wow, such a powerful official air.”
Thought the homebody witch to herself.
This wasn’t mockery but a straightforward observation.
Moreover, this heavy official air was mixed with that wondrous spiritual power which unconsciously compelled truthfulness. However, perhaps due to the earnest nature of this interrogation or the added venue support, this power was several times stronger than what she had previously experienced.
If Dorothy were the one being interrogated now, despite her Bodhisattva Heart, she would have already been overwhelmed by the sheer force, confessing her guilty thoughts in detail.
As for Kamo Tadayuki, the Great Onmyoji, she was not known for her mental strength, and her soul body had already been severely wounded along the way; how could she withstand such an interrogation now?
She immediately raised her head, ready to confess fully and truthfully, but upon raising her head, her eyes widened in disbelief.
“It’s you? How could it be you?”
Kamo Tadayuki stared at the Judging Witch standing beside Yama’s Palace, dressed in uniform, holding a pen in one hand and a book in the other, her voice filled with rage and terror.
But the Judging Witch’s pretty, or rather handsomely unruly face, broke into a smile.
Hehe, who would’ve thought, the wheel of fate turns.
….In the Great Onmyoji’s terror…..
