Chapter 151: Sentencing
"Hm...? What the...? Where am I?" Muttered Leptar with a groggy look on his face, blinking a couple of times to let his eyes adjust to the brightness, before letting out a sigh as he got a look at the sight before him.
He was in a large room, restrained against the back wall, with the Elders, Grand Warriors and the Knights seated before him.
Thick chains were wrapped around his body, and a pair of handcuffs were on his wrists. His body felt weak and low on energy, he was barely able to muster up any strength, before glancing down at the handcuffs, which he realized were sapping his stamina.
"I see you’re finally awake," Remarked one of the Elders icily.
"Seems so...I definitely feel like I could take another nap, though, I’m absolutely exhausted," Yawned Leptar, as he leaned back against the wall.
"You certainly are awfully calm, given your current position, aren’t you? Don’t bother trying to resist. Those handcuffs are Magic Items, they drain your stamina and leave you in a constant state of drowsiness, you won’t be able to muster even a fraction of your strength while they’re on you," Responded Zesta with a frown.
"Yeah, I already figured as much, I can feel them sapping my energy as we speak. I must say that I’m surprised, though...tell me, why am I still alive? When I lost consciousness, I was certain that I would never open my eyes again. And yet, here I am."
"That’s exactly what we’re here to discuss. We shall determine your fate here and now," Responded one of the Elders.
"And you’re letting me be a part of that discussion? My, how laudably generous," Laughed Leptar in amusement.
