"Words of polite apology, it really hurts. But Baron Shiba seems to be mistaken."

"And you said?

To Count Eisenbach's words, Ryo Jin shows her neck tilted gently.

Smiling grin on the surface.

But Count Eisenbach felt sensitive about what was behind that grin.

(That said, whatever this guy is up to, we just have to do what we can...)

Even if it's not the best, it would be 10,000 times better to tell the facts than to remain silent.

"I am only an assistant. All this interrogation is divided between the director of our House of Lords, the Marquis of Halcyon."

To the words, the Marquis of Halcyon, sitting in a chair and observing silence, nodded deeply and showed.

I guess I listened to Count Eisenbach and regained some calm.

The fist, which was firmly gripped, is now also untied.

Having confirmed it sideways, Count Eisenbach turned to the offensive at once.

"In the first place, it is more strange why Baron Gozai was mistaken for the absence of the Marquis Halcyon, dean of the House of Lords, etc."

A voice of endorsement rises from all around the word.

"This interrogation is the place to hear your lord's explanation for the disturbance of peace and order in the kingdom as a result of the recent battle. This is a matter that lies at the forefront of the House of Lords, which also touches on national law, which forbids private warfare between nobles. Not to mention that, as a result of this war, many of the heads of the ten northern houses and those involved have lost their lives, starting with Count Salzberg, who has been in charge of the northern border defence of this country. This has had a major impact on national defence. How about forfeiting the title and cutting off the family name? Why was it decided that the Dean of the House of Lords was not in charge of such an important interrogation? I don't think so, but did you not understand the seriousness of the matter?

That was a painful counterattack.

In fact, Count Eisenbach's words make sense.

But Ryo Jin doesn't break his laid back attitude.

Because that's what Ryo was really waiting for.

"Was it... so may I also say that I was the feather of spending the day and night in a room that was disconnected from my squire and had no windows, at the behest of the Marquis Halcyon, who is partitioning this inquisition...? If I had not misremembered, in the national law of this Kingdom of Roselia, the hearing would have been defined only as a place for the parties to hear the circumstances and decide whether or not to hold a trial. Naturally, I recognized that I had the right to be treated as a member of the aristocracy with the title…"

With that said, Ryo Jin lays down his face.

Of course, I'm not really sad.

But that was enough to tell the people around me that Ryo Jin didn't like what he was about to say.

(This guy... are you going to sue this interrogation for being our ploy in itself by arguing that you have been wrongfully treated and raising doubts about the neutrality of the House of Lords...)

It is true that Ryoujin Goshiba was placed under house arrest in a cell like a cell, beginning with Count Eisenbach, and that everyone who was in the line on this occasion knew it.

And it would also be true that if they were asked if that was the treatment they deserved for a nobleman with a title, they would have to shake their necks sideways.

In fact, nobles with titles are accorded the treatment they deserve, unless they are guilty of death, even if they are convicted in a trial.

And that includes the right to attach a squire, etc.

Then, if you know that and you ask me why I treated you like that, there's only one reason.

It's hostility and aversion to Ryo Mitsuzai.

(I acquiesced to curb my dissatisfaction... I didn't know it would be taken backwards)

A small tongue struck zero from Count Eisenbach's lips.

There are several houses in the House of Lords with blood ties to the Earl of Salzberg and each of the ten northern houses.

Some of them say that they were married a few generations ago, but given that aristocratic societies are hereditary, they come within the boundaries of the body.

If you try them like that, Ryo Mitsuzai is not just a nobleman of the uprooted, but an enemy within a clear body.

If it were, we would have created a coalition in retaliation to name soldiers.

But if we do that, the domestic situation will be even more chaotic.

That is why Count Eisenbach and the Marquis of Halcyon suppressed the uplifting nobles by saying that they would retaliate after conducting interrogations and following formal procedures.

Because that is the formal procedure laid down by the Law Rate of the Kingdom of Low Area.

(It is only natural that His Majesty should follow it beyond what was strongly hoped for...)

Queen Lupis and the House of Lords, which I cannot say has been very firm until now, had a fully coordinated relationship with regard to the elimination of the Baron of Michizai family on this matter.

We shelved our common enemies temporarily, even temporarily.

Later, in terms of how to eliminate enemies, the Queen has strongly requested that regular procedures be followed in this regard.

Of course, the aristocrats were convinced that more than just cutting off [the hero of the Redemption], it was only natural that they had to get better as Queen Lupis.

But sometimes people's psychology ignores reason.

It could be the same thing that victims of crime and their flesh parents sometimes want more severe punishment than prescribed by law for their perpetrators.

That is why Count Eisenbach acquiesced that Ryoujin Goshiba would be placed under house arrest in a filthy room set in the corner of the House of Lords.

To this extent, because, assuming it leaked externally, I thought there would be excuses, and because I would have trouble forcing it poorly and the nobles would explode into dissatisfaction.

Of course, Count Eisenbach himself didn't want to give you a truly comfortable environment, so I'm pretty sure he just said ship over.

However, it was unexpected that they would eat the reverse thread in such a way from us.

Moreover, after expressly stating that this interrogation is partitioned by the Dean, the Marquis of Halcyon...

(unsavory...... especially saying it is too unsavory due to the intention of the Marquis of Halcyon...... in some cases it could spark His Majesty Lupis......)

Of course, it is true that the House of Lords lists only fair and neutral positions, and that is something that everyone here understands.

But that is only an implicit understanding.

Because it is only an unspoken agreement between the parties, if someone refuses to agree, it will easily collapse.

(But what are we gonna do... shut the fuck up?

Only the knights who guard the aristocracy and the House of Lords are here.

So even assuming you silently slay Ryo True Word as it is, it would be possible in itself to proceed with the interrogation. Because we've already come to a conclusion.

However, if you choose to do so, the Marquis of Halcyon and Count Eisenbach will be at great risk in the future.

That is the risk of rumors spreading that the Dean of the House of Lords arbitrarily twisted the facts and made [the hero of salvation] guilty.

(Because there are many aristocrats after Viscount Therese and the seat of the Dean...)

The House of Lords is one of the leading factions forming the aristocracy, and therefore many people target the seat of the Dean of the House of Lords.

They are constantly targeting the Marquis Halcyon and his surroundings for their failures.

No, on the contrary, it is difficult to fully trust people on the side of the House of Lords who should be allies.

If you try them, it would be honest to say that the Marquis of Halcyon and Count Eisenbach are indeed the heads of factions and important backshields, but at the same time also those who stand in the way of their birth.

In fact, it's not like there's nowhere to include Count Eisenbach, who's in a desperate tongue battle with Ryo Shiba right now.

He himself also wants the chair of the Noble Dean.

(No, the question I need to think about now is how to get through this place...)

Various excuses come to mind and disappear.

Of course, I do not believe that Count Eisenbach and I can escape Ryo's true pursuit with a more perfect escape of words now.

It would be a somewhat hard excuse to hear at this time.

But that painful excuse doesn't even come up.

Looks like the Marquis Halcyon was going to strangle himself.

But it seems that God did not abandon such Count Eisenbach.

As one of the nobles stood up from his chair watching him make his way, he slowly opened his mouth.
