Boundary Labyrinth and the Foreign Magician

Eventually - a crowd will gather at the execution site... the Marquis Marblanche and the nobles who aligned themselves with it... four men will be escorted by the soldiers to reveal themselves. A total of five. They are all shackled to prevent escape.

The aristocrats, though treated as sinners, have their hair and mustaches, and their outfits... seem to make them simple but clean and beautiful.

Marquis Malblanche can tell right away from his age. Because the other nobles in tune are young. He was in his late sixties or so, but with a stern impression he had a good posture and a majestic stand that did not make him feel like he was in prison.

The four in tune are talking about court nobility, but it is likely that they are close to the Marquis because they went to trial with Marquis Malblanche.

According to Elena's words, she could be a family figure known as a magician on the surface.

Some people don't know the family name, but I'm still wondering if he's a mage or someone who was in some way in a position to access the information of an engraved witch.

Putting a hanging on a sorcerer opponent means... this is ineffective if you use levitation. I don't even think an executor would expose a sinner's legs in front of a crowd like that.

Naturally, it is expected that treatment is applied so that magic cannot be used by means such as slave magic. Or is it possible that it is used as a means of sealing the exercise of magic, such as spells?

In other words, it is impossible to accuse the king of his evil deeds in front of the crowd.

While we're doing this, the executioner also shows up in jail. He's the one with the mask and the face covered and the axe for the cutting head in his hand.

The expression of the young nobles who saw it faded, but Marquis Malblanche's reaction was calm. I just closed my eyes quietly. That's all.

Near the square chosen as a prison, there is a castle wall and a spire, where something like a terrace seat is forced out in a position overlooking the square. The Below Marquis court nobles stood side by side facing their terrace seats.

I guess that's the use of allowing kings to talk to the crowd from there...

"I can see multiple magical barriers as well as boundaries patrolling the heavenly seat of the walls. As expected, it's hard to get rid of it in a direct attack, but we've prepared it so that the king can show himself in the execution. '

and keep your colleagues informed of the situation by telecom.

'Again... it seems somewhat more difficult to rule it out on this occasion'

I have such a response from Steven. Right. That's exactly what I assumed.

The hand of tapping unquestioned grand magic with the first hand so as not to let it escape...... is likely to get caught up in it when there is a crowd.

When there is also a magic barrier, it may give time to evade by the time the bullet lands, and then it will also give the pretext of a great name, such as plotting an assassination of a king or endangering an innocent people. Impossible to attack where we are consolidating our defenses at this point would not be much of a good idea.

Thinking of stuffing and pinpointing to be sure...... now the escort gets in the way.

He is the king of Beshmelk, who desires the power of the demonic world. Assuming the king himself is fixing advanced spells, he can easily crush them, etc., and is not the person to be insulted.

Conversely, if you put up that tight fence, the attack from the king won't even fly.

'Right. Even if, for example, around Diadora showed up together in that place... this time as per the operation. Behavior other than purpose can also endanger your peers, so let's not rush to do what needs to be done in an orderly fashion.'

When I said that, I received a reply saying that I understood it from everyone. Because sentiment is important.

And... King Beshmerk shows himself on the terrace seat.

"It is before His Majesty the Zanaelk! Keep your heads down!"

To those words, the knights and soldiers salute, and the crowd kneels. Marquis Malblanche and the four nobles are also kneeling in form. And… it is now King Zanaelk of Beshmelk who will take notice of it.

"Good. Make it easier."

Such a voice echoes in the square. You should be over seventy at your age... but you look a lot younger than you actually are.

Magic extensions to the extent that they don't become unnatural - it's a possible story.

With a disappointing body, behaving as an eagle king… does not make you feel sufficiently dignified. However, knowing the circumstances behind it… I get the impression of arrogance and dignity rather than majesty because of the way the expression is made.

He's got some sidekicks behind him... but he still seems to be accompanied by an armed man as his escort. The person himself is wrapped up in intense magic… I can see that he is a considerable user of magic and spells.

There is no figure of Diadora I was listening to, but given that she is the magician behind it, is it natural?

Xanaelk sits deeply in his chair with his elbow hanging on his cheek cane and looks to the Marquis Marquis of Malblanche, who is kneeling in prison.

- Sinners, raise your faces.

The Marquises raise their faces to the words of Xanaelk. The Marquis looks directly at the king's face with dignity, and the other nobles have such impressions as fear.

"It's a shame to see each other in jail like this for the rest of us. I thought you'd be happy to work. But even so, the sin of mouthing the rest of the King's totalitarian matter without giving up minutes and causing confusion to the kingdom is heavy. But. If you plead guilty and sincerely regret that light-heartedness - yes. Let's at least give him an honorable death without suffering as a pity."

Xanaelk cuts his word there and sends his gaze to the Marquis Marblanche.

"What do you say, it's Malblanche. Hasn't the day gone by and made a difference in your feelings? Let's allow direct answers. And whatever the question is here, shall I promise you that I will not be tired of my people?"

He says you can either admit your mistakes and be executed with certainty, or you can choose not to admit your mistakes and you can be executed in a way that you will suffer.

I care about openness and justice... but if the prediction is correct, whichever way you choose, you cannot speak specifically of the king's place, it should be.

Marquis Malblanche closes his eyes and breathes heavily in. That's how I opened my eyes.

"- Your Majesty. I - I do not believe that my deeds were wrong. All the words I said then, too, are only if they guide the future of the kingdom. To admit to yourself that you were wrong is nothing more than to admit to lying about your beliefs. Above this… I choose the path of misery with this self, and I only pray that my words and thoughts reach me willingly"

That's what the Marquis Malblanche says, and I give him my compliments.

"… about the future of the country, or? I imitated too much as a minister, but unfortunately I didn't get an understanding of the policy. What about them? Just answer right or wrong."

Turn your gaze to the nobles lined up with Xanaelk. The nobles were turned to water to make themselves stronger... but they laid eyes on the Marquis Marblanche, who remained resolute... and so one said with a resolute expression.

"I don't think I was wrong...!

to the words...... the other three also opened their eyes and said it orally.

"Oh, as well."

"Me too......!

"Things like translating words now...!

Xanaelk raises one hand to control the aristocrats who mouth it that way.

"I get it. The attitude of those men deserved to be named as nobles of the kingdom. But... there is such a thing as order. And again, I can't translate words because I believe I'm right. At least... reward their attitude by giving them a painless death."

To the words, Marquis Malblanche unfortunately closed his eyes. The decision will not be overridden.

I paint it in front of the people, with particularly seemingly words and attitudes, but I cannot refuse to acknowledge the king's deeds as legitimate beyond knowing the circumstances.

Even with regard to the Marquis Marblanche and the four nobles - it was well understood in the earlier question that we cannot let them die here.

Come on... Shall we start?
