Raydor Holy Sword War Journal

"Well, Marquis Rhodes. Is there anything you want to say?"

"... I have not committed any sin.I have pledged allegiance to the Royal Family of Zain and have done my best to date.Of course, we will continue to do so. "

Rhodes perspired on his forehead while still clearly claiming his innocence.

Old nobles who have been aiming for the position of their predecessors Rockwood Marcel for many years will not change their expressions even in this situation.

Still... my heart wasn't calm.

(Why, Raidor guy.How can I avoid the dishonesty of the nobles...!)

There were no more shards left in Rhodes' heart, such as respect for his royal name, Raidor.

There is a pure question.How Leydor came to light to uncover the misdeeds of his nobles.

(It is not strange that he knew about the information with the Empire.Harmony has been forged with them.Sooner or later, it will be revealed.)

But... how did you get evidence of irregularities that had nothing to do with the Empire, such as embezzlement and human trafficking?

We don't know how Grannard or even Rockwood unleashed fraud that could not be captured.

(Do you have such a good detective?Or some kind of magic? Shit, you can't even look at me!?)

"I do not communicate with the Empire.Of course, as a nobleman, I have not committed any misdeeds to spite on.If you have proof, I want you to show me! "

Rhodes glanced at Raydol, but it was Sven, not Raydol, who responded.

"I see... indeed, we have not found any evidence that the Marquis de Rhodes has committed any wrongdoing."

"Then I'd like you to end this nasty farce.I am a nobleman with a history of trading with the kingdom of Athena and the Emperor of God.If you treat them like criminals without evidence, they won't shut up! "

"Fufufu...."

Sven burst out laughing at Rhodes with a soft and threatening word.

Laughing as if laughing at futile resistance, Rhodes floats blue on his forehead.

"... I want you to tell me what's funny. Little Chancellor?"

"No, I have some interesting information about the transaction.Marquis Rhodes, do you recognize this plant? "

"That's....!"

What Sven took out of his pocket was a drug called "scarlet."

Rhodes is dealing with the kingdom of Athena and, of course, I remember him.

"... yes, I think there was something like that in the deal?Is it Western medicinal herb? "

If you say you don't know it here, you could be hunting yourself down for importing scarlet.

Rhodes worked quickly on his calculations - he didn't deny that it was a traded item and decided to penetrate into something he didn't know about its effectiveness.

"You still look familiar.This is called Scarlet, a medicinal herb grown in Western countries.A drug that gives happiness to users, but significantly reduces intelligence as a side effect… Some countries prohibit trafficking. "

"Heh... I didn't know that.It's been a lifetime of inability for Rhodes to put such things in the harbor.Let's take a scolding. "

Rhodes covered his head with a pair of hands and shook his head in a playful manner.

I'm still lamenting... but Rhodes' eyes were filled with clever light.

"But... your plants are not prohibited from trading in the Kingdom of Zain.I've accidentally purchased it, so you won't be brought in like the others? "

Yes - no matter what effect or side effect scarlet has, it will not be punished as long as it is not prohibited by law.

At best, you'll get scolded to be careful in the future.

"Rather... how does Sven Arbeil know the potency of the herb?I wonder if your father, Count Arbeil, used drugs all the time. "

Rhodes puts a smile on his face and retaliates with a knife he returns.Don't forget to bring up your father and provoke him.

However, Sven moves her mouth lightly without changing her expression to insult her father.

"Of course not. I knew this because... one of my maids told me about it."

Ah, maid?

"Well, it's nice to have a long and knowledgeable maid... I'll get back to the point, Marquis Rhodes.You have doubts about a crime. "

"Guilty...?"

What sin (...) are you talking about?

Rhodes jumps his eyebrows nervously.

"The charge is... assassination of the Prime Minister.It's about the murder of Sir Rockwood Marcel, our ancestral prime minister. "
