Before noon in the Ministry of Justice, in the Minister's Office.

I was alone with my undersecretary, Vinnie.

Vinnie read the whole name off the list at hand.

"That makes me the main perpetrator and accomplice of this conspiracy."

"You're brilliantly full of people around His Royal Highness."

It's just a name we've all heard of.

The Crown Prince's belly, the former educators, the knights.

Whoever sees it, it only looks like a rebellion and conspiracy by a group of Crown Princes.

"What do you want to do?

……

I sighed and rubbed my temples.

If it's just these guys, we're just talking about sentencing them according to the law.

The problem is - I kinda saw Vinny.

Vinnie looked away awkwardly.

A natural reaction.

There is only one problem.

Whether or not the Crown Prince is involved here.

Imperial laws make it easier for the royal family to break the law.

There is only one exception - conspiracy.

If the royal family is involved in a conspiracy, it is determined to be the heaviest torso slaughter sentence, regardless of the main culprit's accomplice.

And this is all Crown Prince and Itchy Deep Face, it's impossible for the Crown Prince to say "I had no idea".

Even for normal crimes, it is a crime not to report a crime while you know it - well, a burglary or something is a light punishment, or a fine of about 1 Lean.

However, it is a sin provided for by clean imperial law.

And if the Crown Prince "didn't report it (to the Emperor) while he knew it was a conspiracy," that would be an extreme sentence for the Imperial Clan's involvement in the conspiracy.

Here's the problem.

The Crown Prince's rebellion - and the death penalty.

That can be a hell of a scandal and the empire itself can shake.

"Has Your Majesty said anything?

"Ha, I'm asking you to repeat the original." They shall not be sentenced to a corresponding sentence. "

"... that way"

I sighed.

"What does that mean?"

"It seems His Majesty is not going to make things rough. Well, of course."

"So?"

"Oh, I'll just cut that list off. Fortunately, conspiracy is certain, and you don't have to confess."

"Indeed."

"So everyone is executed, and executed instantly."

"... that's just great"

Vinnie snorted deeply.

The eye I've been looking up to is the one I admire from the bottom of my heart.

The same execution can be divided into two patterns depending on the timing of execution.

One is for immediate execution, the other turns to year-over-year summary execution.

be executed as soon as it is something that is more serious in sin or has no scope for discretion.

Conversely, if there is room for circumstantial discretion, or there are other unconvicted crimes, execution may be delayed.

Sometimes after that, we go round to amnesty.

For example, if someone killed your family, you killed them as revenge.

In this case, the Imperial Law provides for a beheading sentence.

However, because the circumstances are such that it can be a maximum of three years after the execution of the decapitation sentence.

If there is an amnesty in the meantime, the person becomes free.

Or there's talk about this.

The man sentenced to death had room for extenuating circumstances after all, and he waited three years for his execution, but still couldn't make it to the timing of the amnesty.

My family bought a janitor's guard, sent a woman in, caged a boy and connected his blood muscles.

In other words, even the death penalty can be carried out later.

I set everyone up for immediate execution.

His Majesty obviously does not want to involve the Crown Prince "at the moment".

That's why I did it.

After I made that decision, I rose out of the minister's chair.

"To where?

"I will look to His Majesty. Just in case."

"Okay. I'll get ready."

"Please."

I left the minister's office, the Justice Department, and boarded a carriage for the Royal Palace in a straight line.

Upon offering his sight to His Majesty, he was put straight through to His Majesty's study - a study where there are as many as the library.

His Majesty, reading some paperwork there, looked up at me and stood up smiling.

"Oh, there you are, Noah."

"Yes."

I knelt down and thanked him on the spot, and then I stood up and confronted His Majesty.

"What can I do for you?

It's a rebellion.

"I see. How's the sentencing?

"As per the Imperial Law, the principal offender shall be sentenced to a torso slaughter and each of the following shall be sentenced to death -"

Once cut here, report the most important part separately this time.

"- Everyone, we are going to execute today."

"Uhm, well done"

His Majesty put his hands behind his back and walked around in the study.

"Cruise"

"Ha."

A cruise appeared out of nowhere as usual, the belly-hearted eunuch.

"Noah did well. 1000 Lean per year increase in salary."

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Cruise clerically received His Majesty's life and walked away with no expression.

After all... is it right that I don't want to get involved?

Sentences of this magnitude are not enough credit to increase.

Still, what I did was that it was His Majesty's "so" message.

"Exactly, Noah"

His Majesty approached me, slapping me on the shoulder and staring straight at me.

"Well done."

I thought that's what serious faces are all about more and more.

"I'm counting on you to keep up the good work"

"Yes."

He left the study, boarded a carriage outside the Royal Palace, and returned to the Justice Department.

More than this, the people who conspired against us must be executed immediately.

When I rushed the carriage back to the Justice Department, for some reason, it was about as dodgy as I could tell from the outside.

Jump off the carriage and ask the young man at the horny gatekeeper.

"Hey, what happened?"

"So, Your Highness! The intruder."

"You think he's an intruder?

"Yes, many more of my people have been killed, and the intruders are inside"

"... you, go to the Ministry of Military Affairs and tell your brother..."

Get backup from the soldiers.

And I stopped saying it.

At this time...... if you take care of it, yes first.

"Gather everyone here. Don't let anyone out but me, don't let anyone in. He said he must be the prince."

"Yes!

"Go!"

Seeing the gatekeeper rushing out in a hurry, I pulled Leviathan out of my bracelet and put him back to his original size.

Enter the Justice Department building with the Devil's Sword.

When I went inside, I heard the sound of a sword trident and a scream and an anger.

As I proceeded toward that voice, after cutting down one of the guards with a short knife, I saw a black shadow walking this way.

When I stare, I see a black outfit completely covered from the top of my head to my toes to hide who I am.

"Yee-yee!"

The guy made an odd noise, accelerated further and jumped on me, slashing me with a short knife.

"Sweet"

Flush the slaughter with Leviathan and sever the tendons of the limbs with the knife to be returned.

When he crashed to the ground, he generated a monkey claw in his mouth from a ring linked to the Devil's Sword.

Self-harm prevention.

Almost sealing the motion led to further succession.

Now the three of them, dressed exactly the same, have blood sticking back on their black outfits.

The three jumped at the same time.

Front, left and right.

It's a breathtaking combination.

The slaughter with the same short knife was recirculated in Leviathan, and the three induced slaughter, as in Pa, so that A slaughtered B, B slaughtered C, and C slaughtered A respectively.

And in the same way, he slashes the tendons of his hands and feet and bites the monkey grub.

The noise gradually subsided, at least the noise of the battle stopped.

"Your Highness!"

From across the corner of the hallway, Vinny rushed over.

"Are you all right, Your Highness? - Oh, my God! Did you knock them all down? What amazing skill."

"Really?

"Ha, at any rate, there are more than twenty dead and wounded guards, plus"

"More?"

"The rebels. Everyone has been killed."

……

It's too big a deal, so it's not a regular innkeeper, it's a flavor of conspiracy that I kept in the Justice Department.

"All of them?

"All of them."

Look straight at me, nodding Vinny.

That's the thing.

And I found myself saying it in the dark.

I mean, these four are the hands of the Crown Prince.

The Crown Prince ran to seal his mouth in order not to get tired of himself.

"What do you want to do?

……

I was silent, I used Leviathan and cut my own stomach off.

Slash your flank a little deeper and the blood erupts into Dovadoba.

"Your Highness!?

"I was hit by these four. What happens to the heaviest sentence if you let the prince get seriously injured"

"-!"

Breathtaking Vinny, I think I understand.

"All death sentences, it will also be summary executions"

"Then do it."

"Ha!

Vinnie responded by calling a guard who could move and stabbed Todome in the four I stopped on the spot.

Vinnie came back after making sure everyone was out of breath.

"Executed"

"Oh."

"Your Highness... that's just great"

"... and this is over."

Ugh......

Damn, the country rocked if I made a mistake, Crown Prince.
