Kyle mumbled and invoked the magic.

No, this is not yet completed as a spell, so it may not be strictly speaking magic.

To be precise, magic was used since the phenomenon was triggered by Kyle's magic power.

Kyle has decided to use the trial to rule in his newly acquired land, which is far away from the kingdom of Fontana, with which he has no connection.

A lord who rules a land has many tasks.

The most important is surely the collection of taxes.

It is absolutely necessary to use those taxes to run the estate.

But there were other important tasks as well.

On the other hand, if you make a judgment based only on the rules of the Kingdom of Fontana, you will surely get into trouble.

In order to clear this problem, Kyle, as the Reed family, is going to conduct the trial, but the final judgment of guilt or innocence is going to be made by asking the people of the kingdom to make a decision.

Of course, arrests, detentions, interrogations, etc. will be conducted as a preliminary step.

By giving the power of trial to those who live in the land, which the Reeds should have, they are trying to win the hearts of the people of the land.

In a normal jury trial that I know of, only those who are present in this court would be the judges to hear Kyle's plea and decide the verdict.

But here in Richard, or rather in Reed's territory, it was different.

The word "judge" was murmured by Kyle, though it has not yet become a spell.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com
He said that he always says this during the trial, planning to make it into a spell eventually, and from the amount of magic power he uses, it is likely to be a so-called "lord-level" magic.

And the effect of the spell to be used in this spell culture called [Judgment] was to "telepathically" speak to all those connected to the Reed family's magic path at once.

In other words, after murmuring the word [Judgment], Kyle forced the owner of the [telepathic] magic to speak to him in his brain.

Then, he tells them the crime of the defendant who is a suspect and the sentence he is asking for, and those who listen to him tally up the verdicts of guilty or not guilty.

As a result, if the number of "guilty" is high, the sentence is carried out, and if "not guilty", the defendant is released.

I heard that because they can think of several things at the same time in their minds, it is not so much of a burden for them to listen to the contents of the trial and make a decision on guilt or innocence.
