“…Solo, come on. You need a break.”
Ivory offers him her hand.
“You’ve been working on the village a lot lately, so…let me get you some lunch.”
“…?!?!”
Lumi looked stunned to hear what Arthur said, even in her incapacitated state. She blushed hard, did her best to look away…
But couldn’t turn very far. Ivory noticed the feelings though…she was a Rider too, after all.
“…Thank you, Arthur. You may be seated.”
“…Yes. Tell the court how she has affected /you/.”
“……..”
Ivory gives him a deadpan look.
“Are you here to brag about your kingdom, or testify for Lumi? Pick one and not the other!
And I will not tolerate insults thrown towards Neo Arcadia while you are here.”
“Arthur.”
Ivory wasn’t gonna let that slide.
“A reminder that you are in a courtroom. No matter the kingdom, making threats like that is not acceptable.
Do that again…and you will be dismissed prematurely.”
The Overlords were…confused by the display, to say the least. And Ivory sighs, covering her face with a hand to hide her eye roll…
“What did I say about the theatrics, Arthur…”💧
“But…very well. Continue.”
“…@KING_0F_CAMELOT wishes to testify as well.
Very well. Come forth.
Tell the court how Lumi’s affected your life…how your fate would have turned out had you never met her.”
Ivory looks over at Lumi, to see if she was listening to his words.
The little girl…was stunned. She didn’t think these people would care about her this much…
“…Thank you, Suguru Geto. You may take a seat.”
“Another sorcerer was possessing you, passed down from one to another…
And Lumi made it so you had your freedom. Have you been able to adjust back to your life?”
“Who was this human who imprisoned you? And how did Lumi go about in setting you free?
How has she affected your life since then?”
Ivory takes note of that…and decides to ask one more question.
“…Did Lumi…tell you of her paradox label? Did you tell her of your fate? …And yet, she acted to change it anyway?”
“…So it was a natural occurrence.”
“Or foul play on her end!”
An Overlord interrupts Ivory, who merely glares at them to shut it down.
“Do you really think she knows how to pull that off? Besides…this is indisputable evidence.
Princess Lumi was always meant to exist.”
The Overlords were…understandably flabbergasted by the presentation of the evidence.
“You k!lled humans?!”
“How dare you present this here! The Hein Era was centuries ago!”
“How was she even in that time period?!”
Ivory waits for them to finish speaking…before-
“…So the Overlords claimed that you were destined to die. If not by one thing…then by another. And Lumi changed all of that…
Including recently. Is that correct?”
Ivory nods as Chef testified, but then…knew that he had next.
“Now then, sir…you have evidence on all that Lumi’s done for your world. Is that correct?”
“Cease this immediately! You call this a fair trial?!”
Ivory jumps off her steed’s back and lands in the center of the courtroom, Fefnir growling at the Overlords.
“I may owe you my life, but I draw the line at this cruel treatment of my sister.
If you are demanding a-
