Chapter 6, Episode 9 [Subpoena from Wang Du] Part 3

Seven days after Count Bergston's use disappeared.

A carriage guarded by knights dressed in luxurious armor dives the castle gate of the fortified city of Ipilos.

A group will be listed under the seal of the Royal Rosary, ruler of this country.

I don't have to tell you why they went to Ipilos.

That is not only this Ipilos, but also a human being living in the northern part of Roselia, is self-evident.

The inhabitants of Ipyros keep an eye on them, mixed with anxiety and fear, as they continue down the boulevard to the former Count Salzberg residence, which soars in the center of the city.

Praying that a new scourge of war will not strike itself.

"As good as it gets... is this the guy who called the subpoena?"

Continue reading the script that Rione has in hand surrounding the round table.

It's a fine white paper.

The smooth touch from your fingertips feels good.

(If so, this will be... more than one silver coin per ticket. Even parchment would be the same if it was passed on to the other party. Format must have weighed him down)

It is quite rare to see paper of such high quality in the earth world, where objects close to parchment paper like smoothed leather are used as common writing instruments.

No, parchment would still be a better category.

Because it is not uncommon for trees to be thinly slab-shaped and bundled in place of paper, depending on location and economic conditions.

That is what would make it difficult to use paper on a daily basis without such tremendous economic power as the Alliance, which stretches its value throughout the Western continent.

But this guy doesn't have a guilty verdict or anything on him.

Bolts leaning his neck as he peered over Lyone's shoulder.

All that's written is the date and time and the words ordering you to appear in the House of Lords.

Normally, there is no description of the crimes that should have been described.

That is the kind of thing that would make me doubt the truth if the seal of the Kingdom of Roselia was pressed and it was not the proud elite unit of the House of Lords that carried it.

"That's right... to be honest, Atai can't say anything because he's oblivious to this kind of writing, but he can't help but try to call the baron... yes, isn't it clammy somehow?

Rione tilts her neck when she nods small to Bolts' point.

As a mercenary, Rione has undertaken various requests, not just on the battlefield.

He has experience with territory lookouts and noble escorts, as well as dangerous work such as being hired as a private soldier of nobility who is deceived and plots a rebellion.

However, knowledge of the work behind the dangers, as is commonly said, does not go hand in hand with knowledge of the national legal system.

Speaking of memories related to these documents in Rione's memory, they are precisely the kind of enforcement warrants that his parents used to get stuck by tax collectors when they were very young.

Because what I remember clearly is not what was written in the writing, but a thin, dirty nigger face all over the taxpayer's greed and the look on my parents' faces of agony.

In the end, Rione and her family, who were deprived of all the houses and storage they had lived in for many years, abandoned their homeland and became displaced, and eventually she would choose the path of mercenary.

Since then, it can be said that these legal systems are just unknown to Rione, who does not have the experience of settling in some city.

Anyway, I've never even registered as a resident.

But Signis Garveira slowly opens her mouth to such a question of Rio.

"I guess it's only because this summons is in the form of an appearance before a witness."

The Bolts tilt their necks at the words.

"Does that mean you're not going to try a young man as a sinner? In a letter from the Earl of Bergston sent the other day, the House of Lords was talking about hostility towards young people in this battle?

It makes sense to be asked to appear in court as a sinner in a trial and as a witness.

Of course, it goes without saying which is the gain for Ryo Trun compared to the two.

But in response to such a Bolts inquiry, Roberto Beltran, sitting next to Signis, shook his neck sideways sighing.

"Don't make me laugh. Why would you do that?"

The Bolts answered the words with shoulder to shoulder.

Because Bolts himself understood it was impossible.

In fact, it can be taken for granted given the actions taken by your son Ryo Shiba since he took over the Earl of Salzberg and held the northern part of Roselia in his hands.

At any rate, nearly half of the houses known as the Ten Northerners, including the Baron Galveira family, home of Signis, and the Baron Beltran family, home of Roberto, have literally disappeared from the world.

This can be considered extremely rare in view of the scale of the battle between local lords, even in this war-torn western continent.

"Roberto is right, there will be no fingers wrapped around the House of Lords... that is why nobility attaches the utmost importance to the object of blood connections. In contrast, the shapes of your house can't be the bones of any horse. No nobleman would shut his family name up after so many relatives were killed by such a human being. I don't care how many of them are good at keeping their backs up..."

Am I accumulating indignation against the nobles?

Signis is basically a polite tone compared to Roberto, but the words released from his mouth are close to cursing.

Well, it may be said that it is a natural reaction in Signis, who has been diving through the battlefield for years as a samurai, and in most nobles who have devoured luxury in their safe own territory and in the king's capital.

"So the purpose of this letter is to bring the young man to the king's capital?

"As Lord Bolts says, it would be reasonable to think so. It should be seen from the outset that we have considered the possibility of resorting to force if we summon your stall as the defendant. Then we won't have to compete with local lords this time. And Queen Lupis doesn't want that. If so..."

That being said, Signis turns his gaze to his new master, who has remained silent since the meeting began.

"Kill him as a sinner after summoning him as a witness to the King's capital..."

"Probably..."

Signis nods slowly at Ryo True's words.

When it comes to the House of Lords, it is the kind of organization that combines courts and prosecutors in Japan.

If I say so, I should also say the apex in the justice of the Kingdom of Roselia.

It would be as good as Queen Lupis, the king, to be able to counter this.

Not to mention that there is no such thing as justice or fairness in this organization.

If it comes to trial, you will be convicted without any significance whatsoever, such as Ryo Misaki's true clarification.

But the seriousness of the situation was backwards, and Liang Zhen and Signis had no worrying colors.

"Well, this one moves as expected......"

To the question, the men and women surrounding the round table nodded simultaneously.

Ryo Jin slowly looks around at the people surrounding the round table.

They are like Laura and the others, some of whom have served since shortly after Ryojin came to this world, and others, like Signis and the others, who have served the term of taking over the Earl of Salzberg.

But in their eyes dwelt an equally strong power of will.

"It would be good... then it's the beginning of national theft"

That was a flat voice with no emotion whatsoever compared to the content of the words.

It's like, routine enough to tell you I'm going out for a little while...
