Contarini seems to have already resigned, and Giovanni and Gianni seem a little nervous as Bernardo steps forward.
It was like Michelle was holding a casting boat.
Trials and battles weren't just head numbers, but they were important.
Of course, it was not Albrecht's concern, but simply stared at Bernardo.
Bernardo steps forward and looks down at his waist once, but he doesn't shut up for a while.
He looks at Albrecht with a distinctive stone face.
“If you have nothing to say, why did you come out? ”
The impatient Albrecht speaks first. The people around me also noticed why the person who became the participant of the family was like that.
He opens his mouth without changing his face in Albrecht's question.
“Your Majesty, did you get the letter? ”
Albrecht frowns slightly. It was a little offensive and embarrassing. Perhaps it was because I was troubled to meet with the parties before the trial.
People from other families or those who were watching the trial whispered. Did you make some sort of deal with the king?
Albrecht feels uncomfortable as people whisper.
“Why do you ask? I would have told you that letter doesn't make it easier for you to get a trial. Didn't you hear from your men? ”
“No, I'm sure I heard. But I think I've already had the pleasure. ”
"What the fuck are you talking about? ’
Albrecht wanted to make fun of himself.
“If you're going to talk nonsense, go back to your seat. The trial is no joke. ”
Bernardo stands as tall as a rock on his face, his hands tucked into his sleeves.
“I don't know if you believe me, but I'm a bit of a human mind reader. Not all of them fit, but eight out of ten, nine fit. ”
Albrecht is full of energy.
“So you've read my mind now? So, what was I thinking? ”
Bernardo looks down at Albrecht for a long time. Ironically, however, he did not reply to Albrecht, but spoke at his own pace.
“Reading people's thoughts is not as good as they think it is. It's better not to know, because you realize there's more to the world. Actually, I'm not very good at business. I just walked up here, avoiding the danger. So, I'm not very good with Bondi merchants. ”
Albrecht felt arrogant, but strangely not so bad.
I'm about to hear some bullshit, but I just grabbed his fist and stood by his side.
“Merchants are people who do business even after they die. I wanted to impersonate you, but I had to do some business, so I came to meet you and got caught here. Even if you're smart and smart, you can't help but stupidity that never leaves your nature. ”
Bernardo says the merchants around him are offended.
Smart people often feel bad when they are pointed out about their intelligence. You got caught because you lost so badly?
But Bernardo explained why he was captured, whether he had read their thoughts like a ghost.
“I'm not very good at business or dealing, and I've come to this place with just the ability to read people's thoughts, and I've also been overwhelmed by recent issues. because you can't predict the future. ”
Looking down, Bernardo's stone-like face slightly grazed and passed by.
Albrecht saw that look, but he didn't recognize it consciously. At that point, a very short moment passed my face.
It was a look of vanity or indiscretion.
“Moronini and Gianni have been offering war supplies to Sigmund, and his surrender has caused great damage. And to compensate for that, we made a simulation to kill Contrini on this journey. I recently made a confidential deal with Hestein in a letter. The negotiation was to open the gates of Lucretia and allow them to plunder for three days. And the reason I know that so well is because I was there. In fact, I didn't care whether Conterini died or not. Morosini and Gianni asked me to sign and seal a letter to Hestein. If I refused the offer, I was thinking of killing him, so I had no choice. Again, trying to avoid danger. ”
Bernardo's exposures are so overwhelming that people in the field are speechless. You allowed a plunder in Lucretia? Is this the world? Is this the farts?
The citizens of Lucretia were all proud and attached to their cities. People could not believe Bernardo's exposé.
Since Contarini was only close to Hestein, the other merchant doors wished for him.
To turn this upside down, he made a promise he shouldn't have to make. And to that extent, I was able to turn the relationship upside down and beat up Contrini.
Nevertheless, even Albrecht was speechless because he had never heard of human plunder from his hometown and home of life.
Moronini and Gianni's followers who were holding the weight throughout the trial looked frozen and open.
“Mi, this is crazy! Your Majesty, this is a madman's lie! ”
“You! You ruined everything!? ”
Morosini and Gianni's party cried out at the same time. One said something that completely disproved Bernardo's words, and the other said something that shocked the rest of Bernardo.
Gianni's owner, who was driving Bernardo as a hypocrite, cries out as he looks at Moroni's owner with a frown on his face.
“Hey! Idiot! I never should have teamed up with you, you idiot who sells iron in the first place! ”
“What, what!? If it wasn't for my mercenaries, you'd be dead ten times over! You filthy bastard!”
As I lost the weight, the southern monks were like fixers.
They started blaming each other for the trial. I dragged them all into the past and blamed each other.
Albrecht gives Randolph a glance, and Randolph nods and looks back at Erbin.
Hervin nods again and shouts at the knights.
“Shut them up! ”
Four or five of the knights in the intestine approached Moronini and Gianni's group. The guards were surprised and surrounded the party, but it was useless.
The knights were stumbled upon, their clothes torn, thrown away, and trampled down without a moment's notice.
A knight grabs Moronini's neck and slaps him on the cheek, Albrecht stops him.
“That's enough. ”
Then the knight expressionlessly shoved his head down his throat. Dangju, who was the old man's body, was unconscious, rolling the floor.
Even the villagers who were watching from afar, including those who were guarding, once again felt the fear of knights in an unprecedented violence.
Albrecht glanced at the parties coldly and said,
“If you make a fuss again, I'll raise a fuss until my teeth are gone. ”
The party of Moronini and Gianni falls to the ground with a blank expression thinking that it is over.
But even though I was dying soon, I was afraid of being beaten by knights, and I kept my mouth shut.
Albrecht looks back at Bernardo, surprisingly smiling. That smile was so bright and warm, it didn't match the situation.
“Oh, I can't believe this is so odd. If I'd known this was gonna happen, I would have been honest. Telling you what you think is, like, the first time you've ever breathed without breathing. ”
Bernardo was born with the ability to read people's expressions and understand their thoughts, so he lived his life hiding his expression and thoughts thoroughly.
And now, as I vomited the words in my heart without regret at the court, I felt an unspeakable sense of liberation.
All this time, he was locked up in a prison of his own making, and lived his whole life until he became an old man.
Bernardo looks at Albrecht with a warm smile.
“I told you I already had comfort, didn't I? It means I've read your thoughts. So we knew from the beginning that there was no hope, so we talked about it privately. I didn't give you this gift because it meant something else. No matter how cruel and insensitive a person may be when they receive a gift, their boundaries are very subtle. You read minds in the gap. But now I don't think I need to give you a gift. because the king is a man who lives with himself completely exposed. I envy you so much.I 've never seen anyone so beaten and cruel as you. when people who pretend to be desperate, who pretend to be vague, often cheat and hide themselves. It's amazing how honest you are with yourself. ”
Albrecht was not a very wealthy man, but he did not try hard to hide his face.
In retrospect, the bear was Albrecht, who had a reputation for being a knight.
Albrecht thought Bernardo had the ability to see everything just by looking at his face. I thought I could ride one of those.
Moreover, Bernardo felt more like confession than disclosure.
Albrecht has traveled the world, fought many battles and seen all sorts of human statues, but he doesn't seem to see anyone as unique as Bernardo.
Bernardo still smiled, turning his back to Morosini, Gianni and Contarini, and said,
“His Majesty had no intention of saving our party members in the first place. And yet, I tried to figure out how many more to kill. All this theatrics, it feels ridiculous. ”
Around this time, Albrecht opened his mouth. What is this, a little too much attention?
Bernardo turns his back on Albrecht and looks up at the sky.
“God, save us from our sins. ”
However, the cloudy sky, which had been cloudy since morning, began to fall a drop or two. I didn't even know it was God's tears for their lives, forged by betrayal and conspiracy.
A drop of God's tears fell on Albrecht's cheek. And I knew it was time for a verdict.
Shortly after, the rain grew thick. The rain strikes the earth, striking the knights' helmets, and making music.
Only the villagers who had watched from afar entered the building, went under the balcony, or under the trees to avoid the rain. The people at the trial turned the rain upside down.
Contarini, Morosini, Gianni and Michele's followers kneel before Albrecht. And after that, their sidekick is held captive by knights. One of them was Valentina.
There were also commercial inquiries from farther away, but they were mostly mid-managers and low-end employees, so I didn't really know anything about it.
The League of Merchants had many other commercial doors, but they were as different as whales and shrimps compared to those of Lucretia.
In other words, the people here actually ruled the southern market.
The employees at the top were looking at their supervisor and the party with a cross-eyed look.
They weren't always good at what the merchants did, but they were the ones who made them eat. And people who had eaten a pot of Miu or Gou or a pot of rice.
Commerce in this era felt like brotherhood because it was too risky to risk his life. How many obstacles we've been through together.
The people of the Morosini and Giannia families were especially more complicated. It was still hard to believe that their party had allowed Lucretia to plunder.
I thought that even if I made a promise like that, I would not keep it in the end.
Only they knew, of course, whether it was a solemn promise or just a promise surrounded by the back of Conterini's head.
Diego was among the people. When I was traveling with Albrecht, I never dreamed this would happen, but I didn't feel real about what was happening.
The parties were all the bodies of the elderly, so their heads and clothes looked endlessly disgraceful in the rain.
Albrecht was also in the rain, but his near-perfect muscles were revealed. It was dramatically contrasted with the lush bodies of the parties.
Albrecht wears his father's sword around his waist, and he looks down at them indifferently with blue eyes, holding Iliya in his left hand.
“Regarding the assault on the messenger who served under the king's orders, you are all directly or indirectly involved in this matter. To restore the prestige of the deceased king and to appease the injustice of the innocent victims, you sentence him as follows: ”
The parties of Morosini and Gianni seemed resigned, and the parties of Contarini and Michele were just promising.
The people around me were making faces that said, "Is this real?"
This is how the southern monks die? All at once? I couldn't believe it.
“The parties, including the parties, are facing beheading. ”
“Ah.”
“God.”
“Oh, no. ”
When the word "beheading" falls from Gekko Albrecht's mouth, people sigh. Diego just falls into a trance. Valentina's dying?
Valentina just looks down and looks sad. Now Rodrigo's 10-year-old face is clear.
In this age, there were many kinds of executions, including the honorable method of execution.
The commoners were usually hanged, and the nobles were beheaded. The beheading had to be done with a sword. A beheading with an ax was an insult.
Albrecht was considerate of their identities. It was out of interest to the merchants who sought thorough Silly.
It was the knights who sought honor to the death, not themselves.
Albrecht has chosen Iliya. The golden sensitivity of the white swordsman did not shine because of the rainy weather.
Albrecht's theory was that the condemned man should carry out the sentence himself, so he picked up Illudia and walked to the party.
It was Albrecht who almost died in the Great Moon War with Rutger in Lloyd Beck City.
Lucretia's Merchant Gate was more powerful than Lloyd Beck's Grand Gate, one by one. But in front of the king, he was just a merchant.
Merchants used to live on my good taste, usually because they had a smart head. However, they were also the ones who used to smash their noses at the most if they looked like fertilizer.
No matter how brilliant they were, their foolishness led them to a harsher end than their destiny. It was ironic.
