In Black clover with Grimoire of Omnitrix

Chapter 59: Chapter 54: He Will Ascend The Throne... Don’t Worry, Your Highness...



Clover's capital...

Parliament's courtroom...

When the Wizard King was announcing the past misdeeds of the current King Augustus Kira, who killed his nephew for power and ascended the throne, everyone, including Ben, listened to him without missing a beat.

Just when Ben was thinking everything was over and the king before him would be punished, King Augustus Kira tried to find a suitable reason for him to escape from the Wizard King's clutches.

Haha~

The Wizard King, with a little laugh that seemed to mock the king's stride, announced that the royal prince of the Clover Kingdom was still alive.

Swish~

Before everyone in the courtroom could process the information, the Wizard King vanished from his spot and teleported before Ben with a knowing smile adorning his face.

"He is present here... one of the most promising mages I have met in my experience. Let me introduce you to the royal prince of our kingdom, Prince Benjamin Salvador Kira."

Wizard King Julius pointed his hand toward Ben and announced this, which made everyone present in the courtroom exclaim.

All eyes in the courtroom were on Ben, looking at him while murmuring among themselves.

"____"

Feeling all the eyes on him, Ben was stunned. His face darkened, and the back of his head started sweating due to the sudden attention on him.

'Who am I? Where am I? How did I end up in this situation?'

While he was thinking about why he ended up in this situation, with dark lines on his face, suddenly he remembered his mother's face from this world and the scene when she passed him to Father Oris before she died.

Clench~

After a moment of daze, remembering the love and departing words of his dying mother before she arrived at the orphanage, his hand involuntarily clenched tightly.

Everything started to click in his mind, and his eyes landed on King Augustus Kira with a dark expression, while half his face and eyes were covered by his hair.

"Even though Queen Julia was able to escape the pursuit... she was hurt very badly... before she died, she somehow, with her will, held on to her life and passed the royal prince to a very small orphanage."

After announcing Ben's identity as Prince Benjamin Salvador Kira, the Wizard King Julius did not stop there. He also explained how Queen Julia protected his safety by giving her life.

Hearing this, the anger inside Ben started to rise rapidly.

"Ben... calm down..."

Charlotte, who was sitting in the front, looked at Ben worriedly. She could see Ben's anger rising.

"Ben..."

Even Nebra, who was chatting with Ben a moment ago before the Wizard King interrupted them, now looked at him worriedly. She didn't know what to say; for some reason, seeing Ben like this made her feel hurt.

"You... you have no right to live."

After a few seconds of silence, Ben shouted, while his green eyes glimmered coldly for a moment, reflecting his inner turmoil of emotion.

Flash~

"DIE... YOU FUCKER..."

With a green flash, Ben transformed into a heat blast and launched himself toward Augustus Kira to kill him.

The temperature inside the courtroom increased rapidly, while flame balls were summoned on both of his hands.

Just when he was about to strike Augustus Kira to death, he was stopped by the circular sphere that bound him and halted his movement in the air.

"Calm down... your highness."

After stopping Ben from attacking Augustus Kira using his spell chrono stasis, the Wizard King requested him to calm down.

"____"

After requesting Ben to calm down, the Wizard King released him from his spell.

Flash~

With a radiant green flash, Ben turned back to his human form and walked back to his place with a solemn face. He knew that even though the Wizard King requested him to calm down if he pushed Julius too much, Lucius, who was in deep sleep, might wake up.

"Ben... I am always with you."

Seeing that Ben had calmed down, Charlotte held Ben's palm and consoled him, with deep sincerity reflected in her eyes.

"I know..."

Feeling touched by her sincere words and reassuring hand, Ben smiled gently and nodded his head.

"____"

Cough~

"Don't think you're the only one who supports him, Captain Charlotte."

Feeling like a third wheel with Charlotte's declaration and Ben's response, Nebra coughed and spoke, her tone dripping with irritation.

Push~

"Ben, I never imagined you would become a royal prince..."

Nebra inserted herself in the middle of both of them by pushing Charlotte aside with her back and started to change the subject.

Grit~ Snort~

With a snort, Charlotte looked at Nebra with a little mocking smile, seeing what was going on in the vixen's head before her.

But for Nebra's bad timing, she and Ben had already established their relationship, which she was maintaining as a secret—even her squad didn't know, according to her.

"So, traitor Augustus Kira and the others who accompanied him will also be booked for treachery. As a royal traitor who killed our king, Aldric, he will receive a death sentence. On the coronation day of Prince Benjamin Salvador Kira, he will ascend the throne."

With a firm tone, the Wizard King announced the punishment for the treachery committed by Augustus Kira and his companions.

Cough~ Cough~

"I don't want to..."

Hearing the Wizard King's intention of making him king, Ben coughed intentionally and tried to deny it immediately.

"Don't worry, Your Highness... you won't need to struggle over the power. I pledge my allegiance to you."

Before Ben could even finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the Wizard King Julius, who declared his intention and looked at him strangely.

"____"

'Why is he so keen on me ascending the throne? Is there a reason behind it? Is this Julius' decision or Lucius' decision?'

Hearing the Wizard King's decision, Ben could only swallow the words he wanted to say. In deep thought, he was confused, doubting the reason behind the Wizard King supporting him so much in becoming king.

He couldn't judge whether this was Julius' decision or if Lucius influenced him to make this choice.

Shiver~

If it was Lucius' manipulation, he couldn't help but shiver, thinking about the consequences of ascending the throne and Lucius' plan for him.

When the lightning attribute was fully integrated into Ben's body, it didn't cause pain like the previous time; this time, the process was smooth.

"What the..."

After the integration, when Ben's eyes landed on the number of FP points he gained, his eyes nearly popped out of his eye sockets. He even nearly blurted out the numbers—they weren't 10, 20, or 30 FP points. The FP points he gained were 440 after the court trials.

'It must be due to me being a prince.'

After concluding that the huge amount of FP was due to him being announced as a royal prince, suddenly he felt that being a prince wasn't bad if he could gain this many FP points daily.
