132 Chapter 131

"Your Majesty," Leon said. "First and foremost, she is a friend. So, I trusted her when she said that she wasn't aware of the plot to murder your son. However, her teammates also used her as a hostage in order to kill me. She led the mission, which ended up causing the death of your son, but while the others received the mission to kill him, her sole mission was to steal the water dragon's scales. That crime must be punished nonetheless, but I wish to ask for Your Majesty to be lenient."

"I see... in that case, I will trust your judgment." Makoto nodded. "About the punishment, I don't think anything will be necessary. Thanks to you, we are obtaining a lot of resources of the dungeons you cleared, and since you also taught Ren and his subordinates how to use Earth Manipulation, a lot of people were learning the basics of magic."

"I'm glad to hear it," Leon said.
