Matthew said casually as if he was just telling a joke. "I'll retire from my position as the King of Veritas, and you can also behead me."
The sentence spoken by Matthew made the Emperor and the rest of the people in the courtroom shocked. They widened their eyes and repeated the words to ensure they had not heard wrong.
Osbert even stood up from his throne, his eyes looking straight at Matthew, who had an arrogant expression. "Don't joke around! This court is not a playground!"
The smile on Matthew's face gradually disappeared, giving his face a more severe look. This time, he lowered the intonation of his voice so that the people around him would no longer think he was talking nonsense. "I'm not joking. If the demon fox does anything harmful to humans, then you may punish me as collateral."
