187 This Is Not The Complete Truth!
Four Primes came back to report the Crown Martinet.
"We are unable to find about the odd vine...we never encountered such strange thing...!!" four Primes were at losing.
"Why don't you say you are hiding the truth...why lame excuses...!!" the male Martinet pointed them out rudely..!!
"We cannot justify our innocence respected Crown_but the blame is groundless_!!" they pleaded to the Crown..!!
"Stop son_you are being rude_we will talk about this matter in front of the Beasts Court..!" he wanted to investigate this matter personally now so Crown Martinet stopped everyone from any further accusation or blaming.
Jen and co. were supposed to leave the next day but the Crown Martinet personally informed them that safety barriers of Macabre Dwelling were activated the night before so they were requested to stay for another day...!!
Beasts Court was called the next day that means thousands of beasts were here to watch the proceeding of such big incident of Macabre Dwelling.
The Crown Martinet was sitting at the highest altar.
A guardian beast spoke the orders of Crown.
"Whoever is behind is given one and last chance to reveal himself... if the Crown found out then the whole race of the particular being would suffer the consequences... it can be the annihilation of certain race..!!" guardian beast voiced out...!!
Jen and co. were also there out of curiosity.
A demon beast who was standing at some distance found this opportunity to fuel the suspicion... most of the beast was thinking on the same line.
If the odd vine was harming beasts upon close contact then who could it be to place the odd vine in the essence pool_?_??
Many were suspecting human colony.
"Who could it be_ other than humans_?" spy demon beast spoke up.
"If beasts are unable to touch the odd vine then this can be ungrateful humans doing_!!" he tried to fully flame the fire.
"Humans are not ungrateful... respected Crown...!!" a Prime spoke up on this accusation.
"We did not bite the hand which feeds us_it is not our doing_we help other humans to tame Escort Sentients_this is our bread and butter_how could we burn the bough which we are standing on_??" the Prime explained through wise arguments..!!
"No one is allowed groundless accuses_!!" Crown Martinet interrupted.
"Why don't you say_you are siding with humans despite their low bearings_!!" Many demon beasts found this heaven-sent opportunity to disgrace the Crown Martinet...it would also help to provoke the other races who were seriously concerned about the matter of essence pool..!!
Crown Martinet suppressed his fury and asked..."Why would I take side_there is no reason for your nonsense_!!"
All the beasts of every race were stunned to hear the demon beast spy...now they wanted to know the reason...!!
If someone pointed out that means there was something amiss about which they were ignorant... they would not let anyone go who tried to keep them in the dark..!
"There is a reason_did you forget_the Defender of Celestial Sphere is your backer_and he happened to be a human_do you deny_??" a sharp buzz produced all around the Beasts Court...when thousands of beasts gasped with astonishment..!!
Now that you made us remember... in the war against Demon Beast Race...the Defender of Celestial Sphere was at your back...seemed today we happened to find the true culprit but they did not voice out their inner thoughts.
"To strike against Demon Beast Race was a decision for the safety of Macabre Dwelling... and this has nothing to do with present problem...!!"
Crown tried to clear the misunderstanding which few beasts of demon race were trying to create skillfully.
Slowly the thousands of square meters Beast Court had become squeezing for the more beasts to come and listen to the proceeding, beasts of every race, color, genre were present, ground beasts were standing in rows after rows while the flying beasts were able to hide completely the vast sky..!!
All eyes were on the Crown Martinet and the members of his small clan.
It was a tense situation.
Jen and co. could slightly summarize the situation that could turn worst at any moment.
There was silence for a long time.
"We would not accept any other condition except to annihilate the humans who are guilty..!!" it was a good chance to strike the iron at this crucial moment.
Demon beast was thinking that his leader would be pleased by his excellent effort to put the humans in line.
"It is unacceptable for us beasts...why human are trusted blindly... did not we know... the humans are most cunning creatures...they could corrupt the place they are living... they could kill their own blood relations for the sake of bigger profit...they could silence their opponents just to prove their authority... how can we trust such worst creatures..??" many beasts were speaking in unison.
Jen and co. and many other humans who were standing among beasts were dumbstruck to hear this_why_because it was the truth about humans_beasts we're right in their allegation..!!
It was the truth but not the complete truth.
There was another side of this picture.
Jen was clear_there may be people who could do such villainous things but there were also those who could sacrifice their lives to save their motherland... there were many who would earn living not for themselves but for the betterment of family... there were those who despite being powerful would live humble...!!
A beast would never feed his infant many years...only a human a father a mother could do this..!!
Beast threw their children to learn themselves while human gives several years of their lives to help their children, how to walk, how to eat, how to read and many more.
They were not as ruthless as described by beasts.
Jen remembered that her uncle and aunt loved her much without any personal benefit or motif of gaining.
If they were not as affectionate and kind...she might not be able to develop complete and perfect sentiments along with considerate personality.
"This is not the complete truth_I will prove it_there is a wolf among the sheep..from your own race..!!" a calm and composed yet delicate voice rang out...Jen gestured Elenchi to translate it to all beasts
