The wise man returns

Suddenly, the gaze inside the meeting room was drawn to one place.

“Hmm.”

“... I'm sorry. ”

It is said that Balin was included with everyone's permission, but he is an outsider of the identity of a foreign aristocrat.

It was an irreversible shame to show his red face and fight in front of him.

It was time for every nobleman who realized the situation to cough. It was like Balin was saying something.

“No, I'm not blaming you. I just want to tell you what I think. ”

“Well, that's...”

Foreigners speak at the council of aristocrats in the Empire.

Randolph gives a chilling reply to the hesitant nobles.

“Of course, you're in the tournament. Tell me.”

The one who handed over the hard-to-get lead!

The eyes of the subordinate nobles on either side were immediately startled.

“Randolph ball. ”

“This is...”

“You didn't say anything wrong. ”

Two of them try to stop Randolph, but Randolph coldly ignores their encounters.

At first glance, you might think of Balin or think he's stupid, but there's actually careful calculation.

Balline is said to be a contestant, but there wasn't really much he could do.

There are no foundational forces within the empire, and yet they do not have a deep conscience and a voice like a ghost.

A simple wizard said, I could bite my tail off as much as I wanted.

Of course, what you need before that is a bite-off tail, a word.

"Reveal your number. I'll bite down on every weakness you see in that number. ’

Randolph's eyes glow with such monologue.

“Tell me. It's okay to listen to the opinions of people who participated in it. ”

“Hmm…”

“I have to. ”

Randolph's opinions are firm, and the nobles on both sides turn their tails.

I didn't like the rush to give up control of the speech, but I didn't have any reason to go against the will of the Duke of Rudens.

“On behalf of the entrants and the unaccounted for, I'd like to say a few words. It's simply an insult to all the contestants and candidates who have entered this competition. ”

“Huh?"

“Mmmm!”

Randolph's eyes gleam meaningfully as the inner nobles take a breath.

An ultra rainfall that draws in all candidates and contestants!

Good point, but I will remind you that the weight of that responsibility is never lighter.

“You've all seen it. The last round of controversial semi-finals. ”

“... ”

At the next moment, the atmosphere in the intestine turned cold.

I felt more destructive than just seeing it.

So, the nerves of the whole body become tense just by thinking about it.

The battle between the two that transcended the human race was fierce.

After checking that the atmosphere in the intestine is frozen, Valine raises her mouth slightly.

“You know, it was a pure battle without cunning or conspiracy or dishonesty. Would everyone agree?”

“It's... we don't have eyes to see...”

The nobles dodged the horse while wandering.

If you say one wrong word, you will have irreversible relationships with either Balin or Randolph.

It was common sense for everyone to want to avoid such a burden.

“As someone I saw myself, I felt that way. And Representative Leven won there... and the other guy, the Horseman, disappeared with his whole body turned into a lump of meat and a knife in his heart. ”

Balin finishes his words lightly while no one opens his mouth.

“If there is no denial in the process, isn't that what it is? ”

I was chosen in a fair process. Isn't that enough for the Mages or whatever?

In short, there is no special problem with the competition, so let's proceed as is.

Randolph notices this, and raises one lip slightly.

You're stuck!

I saw nothing else.

Even just saying that the match was legitimate with the Horses, he fell into a trap that he could not escape.

“How can I admit that no matter what happens in the process, no matter how good the outcome is? Is it your unmanned mindset that just needs good results? ”

Randolph quickly switches the stance from defensive to offensive, pushing hard.

Of course, the other nobles unanimously agreed.

“I don't even know how far the Horsemen have reached!! ”

“Don't waste your breath! Foreigners!”

Valine shines through the simultaneous burst of reflexes.

“So you're saying the whole process of the imperial trials is wrong? ”

“Exactly. Ball Ball.”

Randolph still has a cold look on his face, despite everyone else's outburst.

Distorting that face is the key to victory. Balin intuitively said.

“Then why are you trying to hide it from yourself? by getting rid of their families. ”

“What?! ”

“...!! ”

As the nobles panic, Randolph shrugs.

What Balin just said was that it was an unbelievable and groundless provocation.

“I don't know what you're talking about, destroying my kin. They're not feeling well, so they just don't show up on the official table. ”

Randolph speaks with his eyes lowered. After the family line ended, the duchess and Hespia were trapped in the duchess.

so that no one can reveal what they saw then.

‘The process was perfect. That's what he said. No way! ’

The conclusion of the silon was perfect in itself. There was no way anyone could have known what was going on between them.

“Please don't drive people away with this ridiculous political violence. ”

It was because I was sure of that.

However, as soon as I heard Balin's next words, the thought was shattered.

“Political persecution. Seems like the last time I saw Hespia was nice enough to say hello. At that time, an unhealthy partner suddenly gets sick? ”

“W-what is that? ”

Randolph's words falsely suggest that information has been leaked.

The debate would be over immediately if we kept pushing back the gap, but luckily Randolph had plenty of helpful allies.

“This man is turning the subject elsewhere! ”

“He's the Duke! He's inside the Duke! ”

“Even if a candidate nobleman gets sick, that entry can be seen. But Duke Azan has never shown himself in the Imperial Court. The Sword Master's finest unmanned, so anyone with an audience should see it. ”

As Balin's words continue, Randolph feels a sense of grief.

If you continue to make claims here, the target will be you.

Even the Duke of Rudens would be in trouble if he overwhelmed the conspiracy to have an inner relationship with the Horsemen.

Randolph opens his mouth, his complexion stiffened.

“That's...”

“Of course it is. The opponent was the Grandmaster, so he would have won in the final entry. ”

Surprisingly, it was Balin who had just vomited herself.

Randolph's eyes are wide open as if he was giving her medicine while she was in the bottle.

‘What? Is that supposed to appeal to the fact that the Contest is legitimate? ’

Now Valine is pushing the Duke of Rudens into the pinch and reaching out for the rope of salvation.

Humans usually grab anything when they're desperate. Randolph seems to be after it.

But there was one thing he overlooked. Randolph speaks calmly, realizing this.

“Phew... I see. To be honest, I was sure of victory when he came to see me. The same thing happened when you got rid of Duke Azan and destroyed the spirit your father was about to cast in the first place, but... ”

Suddenly, the entire council chairman breathed.

It is because I am confident that whatever comes next will continue.

The next moment, Randolph shakes as he punches at the table in front of him.

It seemed that no one could control the anger. Even the persuasion was doubled that the person who was always expressionless was the first person to show emotion.

“Who knew he was the Devil, the enemy of man! I thought he was gone a thousand years ago with the Demon King! I can't believe you came into this world!... the Duke who dared to see that... Khh! ”

In front of him, most of the nobles kept their mouths shut.

It was completely different from how I vomited Balin earlier.

“... Hah. I'm sorry to see you shake. ”

Randolph leans back, his head bowing.

“But just know this: If I had known I was a Horseman, I never would have done that. ”

Simply put, I looked at his abilities, but I had no idea he was a Mage. It was about.

It is said that the curse of the Mahjong and Hespea is the only thing keeping them alive.

Balin, who has heard so far, empowered her eyes.

Ordinary people would have tried to remove the connection between themselves and the Horsemen, but Randolph simply admitted it.

Thanks to this, I was unable to infer with the Horse Gun, and I was also empowered by the reset of the tournament that was originally intended.

“... ”

When Valine notices this, she kicks her tongue.

“So it's true that the Horsemen cheated everywhere, right? ”

“Yes!”

“That's right. The price will be borne by all the principals in the name of penance, so...”

Balin sighs and nods at Randolph, who blurs his words.

You're in! This is the moment Randolph's certainty goes up.

“Then let's do it again. I can't help it. ”

“You've finally figured it out. ”

“But this time, the Pope's office is talking about him. ”

“!!!!! ”

I felt a sudden distortion in my mind.

The Holy See! Anyone can think briefly, but not deliberately.

The reason was simple. All the nobles here were part of the Emperor's clan.

"The Holy See is taking over the war for the Emperor..." ’

The Grand Master's presence is destabilizing the balance of power. ’

The mainstream power of the Cadim aristocrats is, of course, emperor fire, and this phenomenon is accelerated with increasing status.

The Church of the Pope is powerful, but the realm of religion is everywhere.

Reality is overwhelmingly powerful in the realm of secularity, even in the Cadim Empire where it is native.

Plus, the emperor of this place is elected once every decade!

There is a possibility that you will become the next emperor if you do well. Why would you want to be courteous to the Holy Father without any scraps?

But now the Holy See has organized a war against the Emperor.

The dissidents who have always fought.

‘No. ’

‘Never. ’

All that remained in everyone's head at the next moment was that thought.

You know, the Holy See hates the Horsemen like arch-enemies.

Of course, if you put them in charge of a new tournament, they'll dig through all the previous tournaments.

In the process, all the nobles in this place were almost beheaded when the dishonor they had committed was revealed.
