It was after all, that the judgment was held during the sight. A chair is provided for three deputies to hang on the front, one of which is the throne.
Prince Fritz, who appeared so lost from the arrival of a single line of Alicia, naturally sits on the throne. Then Chancellor Yugdrasil sits next to it, and on the other side another man refrains. If Alicia remembers correctly, she should only be a scholar who serves the castle as a king's advisor.
deputies and witnesses, and the heavy towns of Aaldar gathered to watch the end of the judgment. As they align together, a large door opens with a painful sound, and Liddy Sutherland, consolidated by a knight on both sides, reveals himself.
I hear chatter because Liddy's hands are chained. You must have noticed Alicia clouding her expression about that. Though just stronger than usual, Liddy tried to lift her lips so as to reassure the princess.
Liddy is taken straight to the center of the hall and connected to where he was prepared as a stand.
The prince opened his mouth, seeping through the mockery of "I want you to indulge often, my neighbour's guest house". "If so, but innocent, it is not a very acceptable treatment. But it will reveal how this referee should have handled it."
"Never mind. According to my meagre experience, it's not inevitably bad to have an unprecedented experience. Sooner or later, I'll tell my grandson about it."
"Let me also sincerely hope that such a day will come"
Words were abandoned with a cold voice on his back, then Fritz raised his right hand toward the Chancellor beside him. Using that as a signal, Yugdrasil stood up and now hereby declared that Liddy Sutherland's trial would be held on charges of attempted assassination of Emperor Elizabeth.
Needless to say, the referee proceeded in a way that was unfavourable to Liddy. Cutting off the samurai who witnessed the fall scene of Emperor Elizabeth stood on the stand, the witnesses who appeared one after the other "accused" Liddy of being the culprit, stating the rationale in a staggering manner.
Something that I could tell was clearly a fabrication to provoke Liddy and elicit her disrespect, and Alicia hissed inside. Though completely rounded, once Liddy had an angry personality. It was also said that if false testimony followed, it would be resurrected.
But contrary to his apprehension, Liddy, who looked uncomfortably in the face, was never angry, and he listened calmly all the time, and answered calmly if asked about anything. It is probably a testament to the strength he has worn, and at the same time a manifestation of trust in Alicia.
"Dear Alicia, are you sure?
When the four testimonies were replaced and the small break was pinched, Beatrice, who came to the side inconspicuously, snuck in Alicia's ears.
"We received a message from a collaborator who keeps Alberto himself. When the situation changes and we don't meet here, we support them with different actions."
"What do you mean? What's a different course of action?
If surprised Alicia asked back, Beatrice shook her head with a slight frown.
"I don't know the details. But the collaborator -- he won't betray you. He has a reason to help us."
"But... Mr. Alberto said he would never stand on the stand."
"Yes, but the decree says it's worth a try."
"Yes..."
With her hands on her mouth, Alicia often conceived. Alberto was one of those people who stayed on the scene that night and is a valuable one who can tell the truth besides Liddy. Not getting his testimony is painful, and not showing up here could even create an even more unfavourable situation for Heilland.
But on the other hand, the people of Aaldar know very well that Alberto is Liddy's loyal squire. Where Alberto complained about the truth so seriously, the prince would kick ass saying he was lying to shelter Liddy.
"- Okay. Mr. Alberto's missing hole, I'll do something about it. Here, let's do what we can."
"Yes, you're right."
Brings a soothing grin and beatrix snorts. Almost at the same time she left Alicia and returned to her seat, the referee resumed.
The next person on the stand was its beatrix. Standing majestically in the center as your lady, she declared the following with a lucidity that gently, but without giving a gap to pinch objections, strikes down the starchy air until then.
"I, Beatrice Crown, hereby testify that my guest Lord Liddy Sutherland is innocent by oath of heavenly stars.
Then she confessed one after the other about what she knew "that night.
That Liddy Sutherland was invited by a neighbouring country with a special mandate.
That the special mission had been given not only by the will of Princess Alicia, who sent him, but also by the will of Empress Elizabeth.
That Liddy made contact with the Empress that night in order to raise a report about her special circumstances, and that's why the Empress paid people to keep in mind.
As mentioned above, Emperor Elizabeth and Liddy Sutherland are in some sort of complicity, and it is hard to think that he would poison the Empress.
The fact that she stated them clearly caused a few shocks to run amongst the people of Aaldar.
We all naturally know that she is Heilland, and that she has brought Alicia back to cure the confusion. Still, one of the most trustworthy figures of the Empress began to suspect Liddy when she clearly said she was not the perpetrator of the attempted assassination of the Empress.
The true confrontational structure of the offense that plays out in front of us - I wonder if that is not the simple thing of Aardar vs. Heilland, but, in fact, the dispute between the prince and the empress over the throne.
People alternately ask the Prince, who looks down cold from the throne, and the Beatrice, who sits on his own seat with a clear face, as he suddenly explores the answers to the terrible possibilities that have surfaced. In the meantime, an elderly scholar representing the three deputies opened his mouth.
"Thank you for your testimony, Mrs. Crown. But what the hell is a special case? We cannot judge how strong the connection between Lord Sutherland and His Majesty would have been had it not been revealed"
But the opposing lady dared not answer, and shook her head softly and clearly.
"Come on? I don't know. Anyway, it's a special mission. Go ahead, ask the others."
Before Madame sent her gaze that way, people saw someone who was indeed worthy of answering the question - the blue rose of Heilland, Princess Alicia, rising.
Alicia stood next to Liddy's connected stand, taking the gaze from all directions to the center at a calm footing.
When the air changed, Alicia looked over at the people with her empty eyes. That's Mrs. Foreign Minister. Skilled rhetoric and performances created a situation where everyone had to pay attention to Alicia's testimony that followed.
However, there is no way to panic to Chancellor Yugdrasil and Prince Fritz, who line up their seats as the king's deputies. I guess I naturally expected this one to list the connection between the Empress and Alicia as a trump card.
With a cheek wand on his hiccups, Fritz puts a thin grin on his mouth. Next to it, Yugdrasil, who was also progressing, gave a light meeting.
"We appreciate your efforts. Dear Alicia, may I have your testimony?"
"Yes."
Answered briefly, Alicia exhaled small. That's how she calmed down, and then again, she stretched her back and shouted Rin up to the gathering crowd.
"The testimony of Mrs Crown's Foreign Minister is true. I, Alicia Chester, made a pact with Lady Elizabeth during her earlier visit and decided to send Liddy Sutherland by agreement with Her Majesty. Therefore, there is no reason for his people to attack His Majesty. That's all I can say."
That's all I've said. Alicia thanks the lady on the spot.
The square crouched to a witness who shut his mouth without telling him one thing that mattered. Still, Alicia doesn't keep looking straight at the front and slightly moving. Then Fritz stood up on the lid and paid his right hand horizontally as if to dispel the perplexity full of halls.
"Alicia. Are you going to fool our country with this judgment?
"No, Your Highness. I don't mean to."
"So you told me everything? All the truth to reveal."
"That's different, too. That's what I said when I said everything I could say."
"What?"
Once again the hall is full of blemishes. Without all of that as a thing, Alicia raised her clear voice.
"My contract with Master Elizabeth was made in secret by agreement between the two of us. At my sole discretion, I cannot testify. Therefore, we demand that you call Elizabeth as a witness for the continuation of a fair trial."
One doubts his ears, and looks at each other. But Alicia's empty eyes are only directed straight at Prince Fritz. Next to the prince being taken aback, too, Chancellor Yugdrasil lowered his brow and smiled flutterly.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that. Your Majesty is now lying on the hospital bed. So this is how we stand and judge the three deputies."
"I know. But from what I hear, you think His Majesty's condition is already stable? You don't have to be able to attend all the lengthy trials, you just have to come here for a dozen minutes."
"Whatever from me...... It's the medical officer's decision."
"Then at least bring me to Lord Milene. I would like to ask His Majesty's permission."
"It's the same thing. Don't you understand?"
"Really..."
Only sincerely, rationally. Yugdrasil speaks to Alicia. Naturally, his statement is muscular, and the princess reluctantly has no choice but to accept it. Yes, people thought.
But.
"Lord Yugdrasil, this is a different promise"
Shaking her head, Alicia asks the Chancellor in a harsh tone of questioning. As people frowned upon the sudden call, for the first time Prince Fritz also took his eyes off Alicia and turned his gaze to Yugdrasil, who leaned his neck in surprise.
"Promise? What's a promise?
"I'm afraid I don't remember."
"Are you going to cut white? Weren't you also able to join hands with our country apart from His Majesty"
"What are you talking about? I don't know what that means."
"No way, have you forgotten this?
That said, Alicia releases something on the table in front of her. It was a piece of paper that was rounded and tied.
Next to the Chancellor, who frowned further, Fritz glanced at him and asked him to bring paper to a soldier who would refrain nearby. The moment he opened it he received it, the prince closed his eyes.
"Is this...!?"
"" I swear by the protection of heaven. I will welcome you as a friend. "
It wasn't Alicia who made you scratch the contents, but the defendant, Liddy Sutherland, who had been quietly watching over what happened until then. Normally, defendants are not allowed to speak on their own, but they do not try to blame him with any of the one who drinks solitary spit and waits ahead.
Thus Liddy dwelt a flame that swept and burned in the back of his eyes, staring up at the Chancellor Yugdrasil.
"I made an old covenant and pressed the engraving of the black horse of Julius the Conqueror as a sign of it. Lord Eric Yugdrasil. You did it."
"No, I'm not."
It was Prince Fritz who shouted. Disturbed, he turned his suspicious eyes to the Chancellor, "Because you made a covenant... But, but," he shook his head.
After all, Alicia realized that she had the right view.
When I spoke with the prince in the garden at night, it did not seem to me that among the Fritz princes I had cast down Emperor Elizabeth and instead my ambition to take the throne was to sleep. Then it was after that night that he consolidated his resolve.
In that light, it can be predicted that the cooperation between the Prime Minister and the Crown Prince has also been established in recent times here.
That is, there is no strong trust between the prince and the prime minister. That's why Alicia broke that soft, brittle relationship.
Naturally, the other party would have expected this one to rebuff the Chancellor with evidence of a pledge stamped with the Senate stamp. So aside from telling the truth, the Chancellor must have been explaining to the Crown Prince how he had entered into a pledge with Heilland.
So Alicia tries to discredit the shocking "fact" for Fritz - the possibility that he fears most "the Chancellor has betrayed himself". If they could show him the pledge after suggesting that an agreement was also secretly concluded between the Chancellor and Heilland, they wondered if the prince, who could not trust him, would have suspicions at an early stage.
(I honestly didn't think it would work this far...)
A glimmer of sweat slipped off Alicia's forehead before the upset also glanced at the Chancellor's frizz.
Regardless, what Alicia and the others said earlier is a lie. Yugdrasil exchanged pledges with Lloyd Sutherland to break up relations between the two countries, not to cooperate with Heilland, etc. If he was in a state of calm, the prince would have realized this was a trap, too.
The prince, however, was much more hunted down than he realized.
The fact that I poisoned my real mother, albeit with paralysis pills. Pain betrayed by one of my loved ones who is supposed to be my driving force. The certainty that the Prime Minister, the only accomplice, is moving with different thoughts than he is. They twitched like cotton and tormented him, exploding on the occasion of the ripples Alicia had caused, an anxiety that could no longer be contained.
At this time, the prince was desperate to think. If what Alicia says is true, in the worst case scenario, it is possible that the Chancellor tied his hand with himself to fit him.
If so, was it right to follow Yugdrasil's advice to keep Emperor Elizabeth away from this occasion? Would it not be wiser to call Emperor Elizabeth and let the Chancellor bear all the sins before her than to continue to forge a dangerous cooperative relationship with Yugdrasil like this?
"Please. Please make a decision."
"I won't, Your Highness! It's all a fabrication!
"Master Fritz!
"Your Highness!"
Alicia and Yugdrasil, two voices echo in the hall. Shut up. Prince Fritz managed to shut up and scream. And I gave a glimpse of the options I was going to take.
Do you believe in the Chancellor and meet Alicia's demands?
Cut the Chancellor and swallow Alicia's demands?
- Which way, let yourself live.
But before the prince could give an answer, the door was opened and one knight jumped in between the sights. After offering his thanks, the knight headed straight under the prince and apologized again to the people, "I'll grab your rudeness," he eared to the prince as follows:
"Your report. The people are packing the main entrance right now. The numbers are over hundreds and about to swell up. The Wang Metropolitan Guard is responding, but it could still develop into a riot. Let's do it -"
