Episode 73: Situation Hearing

Liezelotte-Cletia's belly - Aria Gavanez sighed without breaking her icy cold and beautiful beauty.

Because I did a hell of a lot of work in the morning and was about to spill in with a little late lunchtime at one of the leading restaurants in the country that is going to be run by the Ricca Chamber of Commerce, a troublesome report came up.

Aria's face is widely known among the Ricca Chamber of Commerce as one arm of Lieselotte.

Occasionally, where Aria was eating at the restaurant, a case appeared to have occurred that even the manager could not solve, so fortunately, the employee's daughter had been distracted to report the matter to her.

Although it was an unwanted way to keep Aria at ease.

It's a precious lunchtime we've finally secured by cutting our daily schedule of murderous work into stuffs.

Instead of eating in a restaurant if this is the case, we should have had lunch at the Leezelotte mansion.

Well, I came all the way to the restaurant to escape because I was treading that there was a good chance that some kind of work would come up where I was left in the mansion.

"I mean, that noble guests started saying I was exhausted, stopped but didn't stop, and, by the way, tried to get into the terrace where the other customers were eating? I thought I heard a noisy voice in reason..."

In response to a report from a girl who was in a hurry or didn't get the guidelines, and in order to summarise and confirm the facts, Aria threw a question at the employee girl in front of her.

"Yes! Yes. The manager managed to stop it, but those nobles didn't listen... I'm still having a disturbing atmosphere. The women around me didn't feel right, and I've never had a customer like that before!

And, an employee girl answers to expose her anger.

If you ask me, how could the nobility have caused problems in this restaurant?

At this time, Aria hit it whether the aristocracy that instantly came from the margins would have caused problems.

It was only at the beginning of his tenure as Amando's deputy that Lieselotte was scorned in the shadows with his parents' shanks, but there is no aristocrat to turn to Lieselotte in the present Amando.

Because it has already become a well-known fact that Rieselote is not just my daughter, but a very capable person, from the brilliant and continuous development of Amando, from the management of the largest chamber of commerce in the country, the Ricca Chamber of Commerce, and from various other hands.

Merchants hate credit first and foremost for lying and violating arrangements.

If Leezelotte imitates losing fairness as a deputy than he runs the Chamber of Commerce, he can also lose credibility as a merchant.

And once, it's very difficult to regain that credibility if you lose it.

That's why Lieselotte is known as a fair deputy.

Of course, if there are circumstances beyond which to stop, we will facilitate some accommodation in a way that we cannot see, but on the face of it, we are trying to maintain fairness.

Lieselotte solemnly sanctified the nobles, who had dyed their hands badly against embezzlement and corruption during his own assignment, after breaking the buds of rebellion.

It is a kind of show that appeals to be fair even as a merchant by seeking to be impartial in public affairs.

As a result, she won credibility both as a deputy and as a single merchant.

Because of its indivisible treatment of civilians, Rieselotte is now treated as if it were an idol among civilians, including merchants in the city.

With that background, the only aristocrats in Amando today are those who swear sincere allegiance to her or are terribly afraid of her.

It is extremely unlikely that a nobleman living under her knees like that would stand out and cause problems in this amand.

So when Aria first heard the report, she calmly decided that the nobility she visited from the margins must have caused some problems.

It is also a nobleman who would not know the rumors of Lieselotte.

Assuming the above, against the brain list of national and international aristocrats staying in Amando, which Aria grasps, the suspects are narrowed down by themselves.

The most likely one is a nobleman coming from the Kingdom of Beltram.

The aristocracy of that country is where Aria also finds out as a practical experience, but pride is very high.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say it looks good no longer.

The Kingdom of Galark is not a mouthful of other countries either, but the Kingdom of Beltram takes special care of whether it is national or noble selling vouchers.

In extreme conditions, it is often the case that a name is abandoned and not the fruit, but the fruit is abandoned and the name is taken.

That is why nobility in that country is troublesome to deal with when it is dealt with incorrectly.

On the other hand, it can be easier to handle as long as you know what to do.

Nevertheless, we cannot discuss it in its entirety.

There are exceptions in there, because such beings have often historically allowed the politics of the Kingdom of Beltram to benefit its breadth.

"But assuming you're a nobleman in the Kingdom of Beltram, you just seem like a fool who doesn't understand his own situation. Oh, I said it was a break and a treat..."

Saying so in an unchallenged voice, Aria shook her head mournfully, not saying it was as if it were the end of the world.

Many luxurious meals have just been made in front of you.

It's rare to take a break and have lunch. It's a thousand chances.

And yet I can't believe I have to arbitrate a fight...

Forgive me. Seriously.

Not at all. Never mind.

"Oh, don't say such a long thing. Please help me quickly! The manager and we are going to be dead! You're turning your chances for a raise. No!

The girl begged God to worship her down as well.

It's a little less convenient for Aria to penetrate the unknown, too, given that later, reports will go up to her own Lord than she was in a restaurant at the time of the incident.

Besides, as far as I can tell, it should only be a little heavy on one manager.

The suspect is a senior nobleman in another country even if he rots, and if he does poorly, his neck can fly, and the store can be in a bad position.

Not because the girl in front of her asked, but because of the Chamber of Commerce run by her own Lord and very arbitrary reasons, Aria raised her heavy hips.

"Okay. Which room is it? Guide me."

"Yes! Here it is!"

Girl brightens her pussy expression to Aria's words.

As the girl guided her, Aria headed to the terrace seat.

"Bullshit, don't do it..."

"I'll kill you, sir. I'm gonna kill you. I'm gonna kill you..."

Coming right in front of the terrace, I heard voices that were somehow not calm.

Either the perpetrator or the victim is making a statement that only seems to be this triple bandit?

Sometimes Aria came in a hurry in the first place, only to hear that the perpetrator who caused the problem was noble, and not to hear the identity of the victim.

From the atmosphere of a swordswallowing place, I guess one of them even went into exercising strength.

Absolutely why, more importantly, is there only such a low degree of trouble during your break that malicious troubles come in?

Aria sighs small,

"That's it. May I ask what happened and what happened?

I jumped out onto the terrace and asked that in a voice that goes well.

The gaze of those on the spot gathers at once in Aria.

There are five people sitting at the table, one swordsman in black who stands in the way to protect them like that, two knightly men, four women who seem to be water merchants, and one manager who is stationed at the end of the line.

The manager gave Aria a blatantly horrible look when he saw her face.

For a moment, when she gazed at the blonde girl sitting in her seat, Aria quickly turned her awareness to the immediate problem, although she felt somewhat uncomfortable because the girl looked somewhere surprised.

(It should be better than intervening poorly and getting you to do irrevocable things, but you can't rely on it anyway)

and Aria mourned the impudence of the manager just a little inside.

The face of the squad that serves Lieselotte as deputy is to such an extent that Aria is given a critical point by educating herself.

But for the Ricca Chamber of Commerce, which has a wide range of hands on the business, a shortage of competent manpower is a source of concern.

It's not that the manager of this restaurant is incompetent either, but it would be quite appreciated if he responded with perseverance (kichin) to these aristocratic related issues as well.

"This man worked disrespect on us!

Suddenly, he pointed to Rio and Alphonse told Aria aloud.

The hand holds the pattern of a sword that has lost its blade from its roots.

The blade of the sword, which was falling on the floor, entered his sight, and Aria opened her eyes slightly.

but with very little minor upset on the table, suddenly Aria's gaze shifts to Rio.

Rio stared back at Aria without looking like she had moved.

Staring at each other for a few moments, Aria returns her gaze to Alphonse to interrogate the suspects first.

"Excuse me, but what about you? My name is Aria-Gavanes. It is at the head of the service who works under Amando's deputy, Lady Liezelotte-Cretia."

In addition to asking about its qualities, she introduced herself.

The Gavanes were the aristocratic end of the former kingdom of Bertram, but not even in the corner of the heads of Stiard or Alphonse, prodigal sons, such as the name of a house that had fallen so far.

On the other hand, Rio was exploring his memory in his head that he somehow sounded familiar with the name Aria-Gavanes.

And I immediately thought of it.

Sure, a friend of mine who serves under the Duke of Cretia warrant that Celia used to say was Aria, but he said maybe she is.

Actually, Rio only met Aria once before that, but that's when Rio brought back memories of his previous life.

At that time Aria was also doing an apprenticeship for women at the Royal Castle in the Kingdom of Beltram.

I felt like the face I saw somewhere as well as the name, but now I abandoned that and based only on the fact that Aria was a friend of Celia's, I slightly increased my level of vigilance against Aria on the inside.

"Mm, well...... I'm Alphonse-Rodan."

Alphonse reveals its qualities with a musty face.

As for Alphonse, he was unilaterally trying to treat Rio as a bad guy, but he was poked by Aria's response, which was too sober.

Speaking of chief samurai, it's a side in the vicinity of an adjunct to a high-ranking noble.

The job description is broad and has great authority.

When so many people show up on this scene, it can't be Alphonse or Stiard's single altar.

I thought she was a very good woman, but Alphonse somehow seemed like Aria was in the way.

"May I ask your lords' qualities?

Aria went on to shift her gaze to Stiard and asked about its qualities.

"It's Stierd-Jugneau."

Stiard answers in a rotten manner.

I can't even state my pseudonym here more than I've already named Rio and the others.

Stiard was also beginning to think that it was somewhat out of tune with Aria's response, which was too sober.

"I see. Were you a prestigious nobleman of the Kingdom of Bertram? I do recognize the family crest engraved on your two claus armor."

He smiled slightly, Aria said.

"Right. Wouldn't you? We are noblemen. And that civilian man worked disrespectfully on us!

You thought that our family pattern would work here and there, and the Steads' complexion was slightly brighter.

You're back on track, start blaming Rio again.

Rio looked at the situation in a boring way.

"You call that a rude imitation?

I can somehow guess the situation because I see the sights around me, but Aria dared to try to make me tell that fact from Stiard's mouth.

"That's... right. This guy's got a provocative attitude!

Stiard gave an explanation, even though he said so.

Sure, Rio's attitude was a lot on his nose if you try it on the Stiards, but objectively because he didn't do anything particularly malicious across degrees as a response to nobility.

So I couldn't say exactly what was disrespectful, and Stiard could only answer vaguely.

"I don't care about boulders... Would you like to explain a little more specifically what a disrespectful imitation is?

"Of course there is! but disrespectful imitation is disrespectful imitation! You don't need to know!

To Aria, who asked, Stiard yelled back.

We are nobles.

There's nothing wrong with that.

Whatever happens, civilians just have to shut up and follow what the nobles say.

The only civilians who do not obey the nobility are criminals.

What's wrong with taking civilian lives like that?

No, why should I be blamed for taking about one civilian's life, even without sin?

That's right.

I'm not bad.

The bad news is this good guy.

Flipping from one bad thought, Stiard was becoming emotionally inclined in an irrational direction.

When Alphonse next door goes sideways, apparently he finds himself in a similar mood.

Even so, we're both just excited and temporarily in a torn mental state.

It is up to them what they think when they are calm.

"Are you aware that you were trying to sanction him by disrespect or dueling him, but it was right for him to return the favor?

I had no choice but to ask Aria after deducing what was going on.

"... well, yes"

Stiard's cheek, answering so, was drawn.

I honestly don't even want to admit the fact that we fit in with the payback, but the fact is the fact.

A disrespectful strike is a system whereby if noble honor is defiled by civilians, it is okay to cut and kill civilians who have defiled their honor in order to restore noble honor.

Essentially, in this era of the Strahl region, there is a very small number of laws enacted by countries that apply at national level, with each city having its own rules or a clear culture of customary law.

Although the system of disrespectful beating varied only in detail, it was one of the few universal systems provided for by most national laws.

This seems like a truly outrageous system, but there are requirements that will stop this system from being abused with obfuscation.

Firstly, honor will not be judged to have been defiled to the extent that insulting words and actions have been made in the argument, and honor will not be judged to have been defiled unless the civilians apologize after humiliating words and actions have been made to the point of crushing the face of the nobility.

It is also assumed that there must be witnesses who become third parties independent of the parties.

And in order to be disrespectful, you have to be the current criminal, and it is unacceptable to bring witnesses to blame for past statements and disrespectful beatings at a later date.

If disrespect cannot be applied, the dispute will be resolved through a duel, with consent.

Nevertheless, there is also a way out for disrespectful hitting, and it cannot be denied that it is a very advantageous system for the nobility.

Even if the requirements are not met now, there are many cases in which nobles who have killed civilians have been treated or missed as lawful disrespectful beatings without any blame.

Around there it was up to the royal nobility who had jurisdiction over the scene, this time under the ruling of Lieselotte.

By the way, the Stiards are treated as traitors by King Bertram's government, but the Kingdom of Galark officially treats them as nobles of the Kingdom of Bertram.

Although disrespect can be inflicted even under the realm of another country, in which case the requirements are only slightly more stringent than they are in their own country, the Stiards don't really understand the details of the requirements around there.

"I see. So did you meet the requirements for disrespectful hitting?

In a pale tone, Aria asked the Stiards.

"That's... right..."

Alphonse answers reluctantly.

A lousy lie could strangle yourself more than Aria appeared to be the chief minister of Liezelotte.

Because it was a bit of a provocative attitude when it comes to what Rio did, and obviously it doesn't meet the requirements for disrespectful hitting.

It is only a little exaggerated to try to slaughter and kill as disrespectful strikes for that degree of reason, no matter how aristocratic.

Rather, to be honest, Rio would be the victim, and vice versa, with the Stiards rambling up to kill him for a quote he acted on his own accord in the store.

There are numerous witnesses around, and at this stage we cannot afford to be turning our hands around in the back.

It is troublesome when you make a bad statement and there are inconsistencies with your surrounding statements.

If it had been within the former Kingdom of Beltram, it would have been possible later to twist as many facts and sin against Rio, but it was rather frivolous to have been slashed in the realm of other countries largely without thinking ahead.

But even over this period, the Stiards are only dissatisfied to reflect that they have acted recklessly.

I didn't even think it was frivolous in the first place.

Why are they only angry at the superior noblemen?

"Father! Report to Father!

Eventually I say that in agony.

"Of course I will report to you. But there's nothing we can do about not asking you first."

Answering cold, Aria shook her head (wearing it).

"Become, don't be ridiculous! Does that make sense? I'm the Duke's man!

Those on the spot send a chilled gaze to Stiad, who speaks of disastrous things.

Stiard and Alphonse have so far sat idly in the power of their fathers.

That's because the two fathers were absolutely leading nobles in the country until the coup d 'état happened earlier.

I never had a story I wouldn't have gotten through if I'd given my father's name before, and within the Kingdom of Beltram, I've done everything I wanted.

I don't blame you for this problem.

Even so, things are different this time.

Their territory would have been able to duly obfuscate, slaughter and bend the facts in any way later, but such impossibilities do not pass on this occasion, where there are numerous witnesses from other countries and it is difficult to breathe.

It is only natural that if problems arise in other countries where the power of the father is not extended, it is less accommodating than in his own country.

But over the years his life of letting others wipe his ass had become the norm, he was indifferent to the cynicism around there.

"We need you to follow the order laid down by Master Lieselotte more than you are staying here in Amando. I will now hear the circumstances, but in some cases the matter will be in the possession of Master Lieselotte."

"Knock..."

Here at last, the Stiards began to realize that they were clearly at a disadvantage.

I was wondering if it might not taste good.

"It is admitted that disrespectful beatings are done in the first place if a civilian defiles the honor of an aristocrat, but is he really a civilian?

When she narrowed her eyes softly, Aria turned her gaze to Rio and asked.

"Oh, yeah!

and Alphonse concludes before Rio answers.

"Is it true? May I ask your name and identity?

Ignoring such an alphonse, Aria asks Rio.

"Well, what do you think? You don't really feel the need to answer your name anyway."

But he shrugged his shoulder small and replied in a calm tone.

It will be easier for Aria to figure it out later than she is telling her name when she is booking, but she is not going to teach her fake name cheaply in front of the Stiards.

"How could that be?

"I won't commit the foolishness of telling your name in front of the perpetrator. Because this is obviously the victim. I thought the two of them had broken into the dining room and started dictating about the woman with them."

Rio speaks for himself in a somewhat simplistic tone.

Stiard and Alphonse glanced at Rio as if cursing him to death.

What wouldn't have happened if you had died a lot of people.

I warped my face every time I said that.

Rio coolly ignored such a gaze,

"And many times I urged you to leave the room here, and you never left. At the end of the sentence, you'll be slaughtered without question."

and briefly explained the facts revealed by the Stiards.

"I see. It's natural that you certainly don't want to give your own personal information to the person buying the grudge. Haven't you told them their names yet? So can you tell me later?

"Yeah, I get it. I'm just a civilian, by the way."

Unexpectedly Aria seems to be able to talk, so Rio may be surprised from the inside out.

If the store side was going to lean toward the Stiards, I was going to impeach them that it was due largely to the store's inaction that caused this incident, but it doesn't look like I need to cut that card yet.

Various other means were contemplated, but they also seem to be necessary.

Meanwhile, it was established that Rio was a civilian and the sight of the Stiards' contempt intensified.

"Thank you"

When Aria thanked Rio, she turned her gaze to the Stiards,

"Assuming his story is true, you can't help but be perceived as obsessed and abusing the system of disrespectful hitting. Doesn't mean he was accepted for setting up a duel, does it?

And I told him so.

Aria had already roughly heard from her employees how it started, but Rio's statements earlier were consistent with that.

So far, Aria's balance leaned heavily toward those who were not with the Stiards.
