Otaku Witch-Chapter 1460 - 796: Scales of Love and Lust
Dorothy has never done anything wrong in her life. Although her mind is often filled with naughty thoughts, she’s never acted on them. She’s definitely not someone who does it first and then thinks about it like some other people.
She’s never hurt anyone. She treats everyone equally like family. Is there anything wrong with that?
Absolutely not?
If you do no wrong, you’re not afraid of ghosts knocking at your door.
Let it be an Asura Field or whatever. Only the guilty would actually fear such a thing. As a homebody witch, she’s upright and unafraid, so how could she be declared guilty?
Even though Dorothy has no real expectations from the so-called Lord Demon King up on the stage, since he made such a formal court setting, the upcoming trial should at least be fair and just. To convict her, solid evidence must be presented first.
On stage, the homebody witch stood tall, fearless, and stared defiantly at the Lord Demon King playing the chief judge on the high platform.
"Bring it on, show your evidence. Today, I’ll show you what family bonds truly mean."
She conveyed this silently with her gaze.
You think being a Demon King is a big deal? Don’t think you can do whatever you want because of that. Trying to turn my friends against me? You genuinely underestimate the bond between sisters.
Dorothy trusted her sisters. She believed they wouldn’t fall for such an obvious trick. If both the accused and the plaintiffs stood united, they could easily overturn this pathetic court and pass this final trial.
Yes, yes, her sisters were smart. Such a simple thing should be crystal clear to them.
The homebody witch made eye contact with the sisters seated in the plaintiff’s section on the second floor, and they returned her gaze with an understanding look.
"As the plaintiff, I withdraw my accusation against the defendant. I do not think she is guilty."
Senior Mia spoke first, saying this.
"I too withdraw my accusation. This trial is meaningless."
Madeline followed suit.
Although Little Fox Audrey was still too timid to speak, she immediately used her regained magic power to write a few big words in the air in front of her.
"I agree as well."
Alice read Audrey’s words, expressing her own stance at the same time.
Now, only Ruthfiel and Wendy, who hadn’t fully grasped what was happening, were left to make a statement.
Just as the two were about to announce their decision to drop charges, the chief judge on the high platform spoke.
"Silence. This court is not a place where you come and go as you please."
She said this, but her voice was filled with a delighted chaos.
Dorothy: "....."
Seriously, do you have no shame? We didn’t come here of our own free will. You brought us here.
The homebody witch silently complained in her heart.
She had a bad feeling inside, suspecting Artie was up to some sneaky tricks again.
She wasn’t wrong. The Lord Demon King continued to speak.
"In this Court of Lust, all testimonies come not from your words, but from listening to the truest desires in your hearts."
"Words may be lies, but desires cannot be faked."
She said this, and then suddenly clapped her hands. As her applause echoed, a gigantic ethereal scale appeared in the center of the theater, silently floating above the stage.
Dorothy frowned as she looked at the scale, intuitively sensing that it was no ordinary thing, probably a Divine Artifact.
Tsk, Artie really went all out for this. To trap her, she even brought out such a treasure. Dorothy felt overwhelmed.
The homebody witch had mixed feelings.
She took a careful look at the scale and noticed that the two trays were different.
The left tray was filled with images of romantic moments between couples, sweet enough to make anyone yearn for love.
The right tray, however, was somewhat indecent, brimming with the essence of spring. The suggestive poses were enough to make an innocent little witch blush with embarrassment at a glance.
"What kind of improper things are these? They will corrupt children."
Dorothy continued to complain internally, but she more or less guessed the purpose of this thing, which made her frown.
Oh dear, this is troublesome.
She thought to herself.
And then, the Demon King’s pleased voice rang out.
"This item is called the Scales of Love and Lust. The left side measures love, and the right side measures lust. Our judgment will proceed based on the inclination of this scale."
"Next, I will weigh the defendant’s desires for all of you, one by one. If you, the plaintiffs, truly wish to forgive this licentious Casanova, place your love on the left side of the scale."
"As long as your love for the defendant outweighs her lust for you, I will believe that you truly don’t care about her sins, and have no grievances against her."
On the high platform, Miss Phantom Thief narrowed her eyes behind her butterfly mask, her gaze sweeping across the young witches in the plaintiff’s seats.
