The Trial (1)

Only four people including Zero would be attending the trial from Baal's castle. Zero didn't ask why Coux was coming along, it was obvious that Baal needed his secretary to ensure he doesn't shrink from his duties. On the other hand, Zero was slightly puzzled as to why Baal chose to invite Ruth along at the very last possible minute. The Demon Lord practically manhandled the child into the carriage and tossed him onto one of those plush seats. Just before the vampire could protest, Baal shoved a specially prepared sandwich in the boy's mouth to avoid dealing with any objections for the time being.
