"What did you say?"
I didn't hesitate to point towards Lugard as I repeated myself.
"Sir Knight almost killed me with his heavy pressure!"
I obviously couldn't say aura as it would raise the question of where I had learned the word.
The Emperor's laughing face had vanished as if it was never there.
He turned to Sir Lugard at his side.
"Well? Is what my boy said true?"
By now, Lugard's face, which was full of anger a minute ago, was now filled with despair as I could see sweat slowly forming on his forehead.
"It is not at all true, your majesty"
"Liar! He's lying!" I immediately proclaimed in a tone as high pitched as I could muster.
This was the fun part about being a kid. My words tended to be more believable than that of an adult.
The Emperor's eyes darted between me and Lugard as I guess he was wondering who he should believe or how to handle the situation, before his eyes finally settled on Lugard.
