Raydor Holy Sword War Journal
157. The Prime Minister's will
"Nah!?"
The murder of Prime Minister Rockwood Marcel.
Rhodes speaks out of the sky as he is confronted with an unexpected crime.
Embezzlement, smuggling, bribery... Crowley Rhodes, who committed all sorts of evil and even became the shadow ruler of the kingdom of Zane, was an "attempted evil" that could not be realized by the assassination of the Prime Minister alone.
"Oh, stupid! Sir Marcel committed suicide… No, it was announced that he died of illness!?"
The sudden death of Rockwood Marcel. To avoid confusion, it had been announced that the outward appearance was due to disease.
However, Rhodes was using his own information network to find out that it was harmful.
Until now, Rhodes had a spare attitude, but his face was caught in a hurry by a boulder.No matter how much I've spent my life in sin, I wouldn't have had it if I'd been wearing a nasty wet dress.
But... Sven opened his mouth with an unforgiving smile filled with spare time as he approached Rhodes' impatience.
"Indeed... the former Prime Minister, Marcel, claimed to have lost his life due to illness.But it's actually different. Her son, Miss Mertina Marcel, has discovered that she was stabbed by a blade and fell at home. "
Sven lightly taps the documents at hand on the back of his hand and speaks in a light tone like a smart lawyer who argues in court.
"... and the murder weapon blade (...) has not been found at the scene (...). Apparent murder.It can't be suicide or death. "
"Is that...!?"
It's not what I heard.
Rockwood must have found the knife in his abdomen and sitting in a chair, according to information that Rhodes had the knight hold the gold.
Clearly, there was a discrepancy between the information Rhodes investigated and Sven's story.
(No way... I was fitted!?)
At last, Rhodes knew exactly what he was doing.
Rhodes is in the process of being charged with the Prime Minister's murder.
(Am I...! Am I the true ruler of the Kingdom of Zain... the noble one who is being framed by such a hungry ghost...!?)
With intense humiliation and anger, Rhodes' forehead was blue-lined.
Rhodes, who has so far been trapped in scatters, is being chased away by an old boy who has become prime minister just because of Raydol's legacy.
I've never been insulted like this before.It was an impermissible stain on my life, the lord of the glorious Marquis of Rhodes.
"On what grounds....! That's bullshit!Even if Lord Mercer's death were not ill or self-inflicted, it would not prove that I killed him! "
"Oh... Sir Marcel and you fought for the Chancellor's seat.Weren't grudges shallow? "
"Hmm! Such old rumors are no basis for anything!Hungry people who don't know the truth should keep quiet! "
Rhodes challenges Sven to bite and turns to Raidor.
"Your Highness! Don't let this bullshit fool you!I would never be prime minister to a child like this!An experienced nobleman like me deserves to support the king! "
"I see... it certainly makes sense."
Raydol nodded haughtily without denying Rhodes' desperate valves.
Rhodes was always a good face, but Raidor's words continued.
"But... it looks like Sven's point isn't over yet.Why don't you just ask me the rest? "
"Ha...?"
"Of course, I won't be guilty of bluffing without proof.If it's evidence, it's already here. "
Sven walked up to Rhodes with a light, staggered step and presented the documents he had in his hand.
"This was written down by the former Prime Minister just before his death.It's like a will. "
"What...!?"
Rhodes takes the documents from Sven.
Then I dyed my face bright red through my eyes as I danced there.
"Stupid...! Why is this bullshit...!"
It contains the signature of Prime Minister Rockwood Marcel and the fact that his life is at stake.It was clearly written that the mastermind who was targeting him must be Crowley Rhodes.
Ironically - Rhodes has been searching for weaknesses for years as he leaps into Rockwood.The handwriting on this letter must have belonged to Rockwood Marcel.
"How dare you...!"
"If you're going to break it, you should stop.The crime of the destruction of evidence will be committed. "
"Nh...!"
Rhodes was trying to break the paper with anger, but he remembered that there were a lot of people and stopped in a hurry.
"By the way... that's not all the ex-President's will is.Lord Marcel is sending the same letter to the protagonists of several aristocracies who had an exchange at the time of his death…… right? "
…………
When Sven asks, some of the nobles here agree.
All of them court nobles. Along with Rockwood Marcel, they were the nobles who supported Granard's reign.
A large crowd of human eyes pierce Rhodes' back.
The gaze of suspicion and contempt. Most of what we have here seems to believe that Rhodes is responsible for the Prime Minister's murder.
"Nh...!"
Understanding that the flag color was getting worse on the boulder, Rhodes greatly distorted his expression.
As it stands, you may lose your place for sins that are truly unfounded.
"Hmm... well, even if the writings were really Sir Mercer's writings... they wouldn't prove that I carried out the assassination!Sir Marcel's thoughts!? "
In complete headwinds, Rhodes defends without giving up.
Rhodes, who has worked countless evils, is truly innocent this time.It was natural to be desperate to escape sin.
"I swear I didn't do it!I am innocent and have never been involved in Sir Marcel's murder...! "
"I see... it's true that Sven's argument may be a bit drastic."
"Oops...!"
Speech on behalf of Rhodes.It was Raydol who launched it.
Raydol's fierce face on the battlefield is the exact opposite of... the face of an unbiased monarch, alternating between Sven and Rhodes.
"The letter from former Prime Minister Rockwood Marcel will certainly be one piece of evidence.But it's hard to say conclusive evidence.Admitting the Marquis de Rhodes on the basis of suspicion lacks a little fairness. "
"Behold, Lord Raydol....!"
Rhodes shook his voice with emotion.
The mood of a man who even tears at the corner of his eyes was as if the dead were about to be thrown into hell and reached out for salvation.
In the first place, it was Raydol who appointed Sven Prime Minister.Even the fact that I was using drugs to try to puppet Raidor was out of Rhodes' mind.
"That's right... then let's do this"
But... soon Rhodes will realize.
Raydol is never on Rhodes' side.He dared to interrupt the conversation in order to shoot himself.
"Let me investigate the Marquis of Rhodes' mansion.The Marquis is not guilty unless there is clear evidence of the assassination. "
