Chapter 6, Episode 44 [Law and Violence] Part 7

The Marquis of Halcyon nods deeply as he watches the conversation between Queen Lupis and Martina unfold after nothing.

What floats on that face is a hint of relief.

Of course, this is not the story that I had seen.

As Liangzhen expected, this interrogation is a farce with hands tied between Queen Lupis and the House of Lords who wants to eliminate Liangzhen.

But it's also true that one of Queen Lupis' feelings could have turned everything upside down.

I guess the Marquis of Halcyon himself understood that.

Did I just say that the possibility was crushed and I was horrified?

And now the Marquis of Halcyon is sure of his own victory.

(We seem to be working hand in hand now, but it was also a beating for the Marquis Halcyon in a way. You still mean that woman is too irregular...)

Lupis Roselianus is a good man and a man of good sense.

But that's why I'm easily worn out in situations where I make political decisions.

It is that manifestation that my heart wobbled when I heard Ryo True's words again this time.

In that sense, it can be said that Mertina's judgment and ability to act, which brilliantly suppressed the upset of Queen Lupis and prompted her to make a decision, is truly brilliant.

It is a true and unabashedly admirable and acclaimed praise.

(Sounds like you've grown a lot over there...... well, naturally so too)

When Liang Zhen first met her, Mertina Lecter could not be said to be capable of flattery.

A human being who is adamant about justice and morality as a knight and can't even think about people's feelings.

As a samurai, he was quite capable, and there would be no disagreement from around him regarding his unmatched loyalty as a side of Queen Lupis, but vice versa, that's all.

A totally incompetent woman as a general standing over people.

Even during the civil unrest earlier, when persuading the Count of Bergston, who maintained neutrality at the time, to bring him to the Princess's side, he simply asked for loyalty to the rightful heir to the throne and offered no reward whatsoever, but it could be an example of understanding a woman named Mertina at the time.

But it seems that a woman named Martina Lecter, full of such chivalrous spirit, no longer exists.

"Marquis Halcyon......"

And Mertina nods and shows him small toward the Marquis of Halcyon as he slowly rises.

Of course, there is only one intention.

"Apparently you've come to a conclusion... then..."

Under the gaze of Mertina, the Marquis of Halcyon turns to Ryo True.

What comes to that face is a laugh of victory.

It's a joy to be able to get rid of the handicapped adults.

"You seemed to be doing a lot of small-time work, but you ended up working hard. Baron Chai. Your questioning has been decided upon."

In fact, if you look at the attitude of Queen Lupis, the king, the conclusions to be drawn will be more obvious than looking at fire.

Lupis Roselianus made his decision.

Meditate your eyes on justice and fairness. But when you eliminate the buds of fear.

In response to such a declaration of victory by the Marquis of Halcyon, Ryo Jin shook his shoulders.

"That sounds... unfortunate."

Ryoujin Mitsuzai is brilliant in his intellectual schemes and knows how to manipulate people's psyches, but from the current situation on the boulder, he won't be able to overturn Queen Lupis' decision again.

In other words, it was officially ruled in front of the King that the actions taken by a man named Ryojin Goshiba were problematic by this interrogation.

Of course, the interrogation is only the place where we should decide whether or not to open the trial.

According to the national law of the Kingdom of Roselia, the treatment of the aristocrats is to be formally decided at a later date with a trial to be held in the Royal Palace.

But that's only a formality.

The House of Lords makes recommendations, and the King judges.

The resulting judgment cannot be unexpected.

But even though I knew it, Ryo Michizai remained calm.

Marquis Halcyon tilts his neck small to such a bright true attitude.

"Hmm... doesn't look as sorry as the words... well, we've already come to a conclusion. You don't have to put up any more boring voices"

With that said, the Marquis of Halcyon makes a small nod at the knights surrounding Liang Zhen.

Towards such a marquis of Halcyon, Ryo Jin asked tilting his neck.

"May I ask what you intend to do now?

"Hey, because this is only an interrogation. It will be decided at a trial to be held at a later date regarding the treatment of the Baron Goshiba family. Until then, we'll just have to shut you down to the tower north of this castle."

"Is that tower about shutting down sinners..."

Marquis Halcyon laughed delightfully at Ryo True's inquiry.

"Exactly. Apparently you know about that tower, too."

"Yeah, once they send you over there, you'll never see the eyes of the sun again?

If a person of aristocratic class commits a crime, to the extent that it does not amount to a capital crime, he will most likely be able to keep his personality in another house.

Well, formally, I'm a sinner, but to some extent, I'm treated as a guest.

For better or worse with nobility, it's a privileged class, and given that the majority of them have blood ties, they can be called their own in the broad sense of the word.

However, it will also be certain that, in the case of serious crimes that may result in capital punishment, even the aristocratic class will need to be held in custody.

Especially if the opponent may escape, no one can be treated in a sweet way.

It's just that the problem is where we detain nobles who are such privileged classes.

So there are two houses in the Kingdom of Roselia that house nobles.

One is a tower built on the south side of the castle.

This one is very different from the one we usually imagine, even when it comes to storerooms.

Don't bring your family to the boulder, but a special maid or something can be appointed to take care of you around.

Regarding the meal, and not to say the highest quality, quite a few dishes made by the chefs working in the castle were provided, and the decency as a nobleman, although not gorgeous in terms of clothing, was taken into account to some extent.

Using the finest five-star hotels and knowing that it may be hell to be entertained with a raised meal, it can be said that treatment is guaranteed over and above the average hotel.

Would it be better to have a facility for meeting guests rather than a hostel?

(By contrast, the north tower is treated completely differently)

To deduce from the information Ryojin had the Igazaki crowd examine, the reality of the northern tower would be more correct than the execution ground.

In the first place, nobles in general are never sent to the north tower.

Imprisoned in the north tower are the targets of extreme criminals who have committed such heinous crimes that even the aristocratic class cannot tolerate them.

Specifically, what if it became clear that he killed a legitimate mark and took away the housekeeper?

It can also be said to be a daily tea meal for the aristocratic class, such as the feud over the governor, but it cannot be a boulder that it will not be regarded as a problem even if it is represented.

Because referring to blood ties and relatives is one of the most important elements for the aristocracy.

Well, that also means that if you don't find out when you return the back, you'll be acquiesced, but that's even more so now.

Speaking of other things to be imprisoned, are they political prisoners, such as those who are seen to have rebelled against the Kingdom of Roselia?

In this case, it is not really a question of whether you have rebelled against the kingdom.

It's out at the judgment stage.

However, in both cases there is only one thing in common.

Both are intrusive and unacceptable in terms of maintaining the current national system called the Kingdom of Roselia.

So basically none of the humans imprisoned in the north tower are likely to be released first.

While some people have disappeared with prison dew after a formal trial, the majority are still dying in prison.

Nobody knows if this is a bad environment, or if they are being tortured or executed unknowingly.

Only the upper echelons of the House of Lords, which manages the north tower, will know the answer.

However, I could easily imagine the end when I looked into the eyes of the Marquis Halcyon.

"Cheng Cheng..."

"Are you unhappy?

Marquis Halcyon tilts his neck to Liang Zhen's grunt.

"On the contrary, did you really think you could explain? If that's the case, I heard you were a wise man, but all I can say is that you've lost your reputation. First of all, at the point of coming out to the scene, the bottom is known. Or do you have a way out of this place?

With that said, the Marquis of Halcyon turns his eyes to the knights who were solidifying around Ryo Trun.

Following that signal, the knights around them stood at once.

I guess Liang Zhen is going to be slaughtered as soon as he takes any action.

"You will not know, but there is a certain technique in this room. Yes, a procedure that inhibits the activation of spells. No martial arts or grammar activates in this room. Besides, it's not a round waist after being surrounded by knights. I am also a samurai. At the end of the day, you may be thinking about cutting through with force, but let's just advise you that it's impossible."

In fact, various surgical ceremonies are applied in the halls where this interrogation takes place.

Apart from the inhibition of activation of the spell spoken by the Marquis Halcyon, it is no longer possible to transfer directly from the outside to this room, and the walls surrounding the room are reinforced with hardness.

Even strong men like Roberto and Signis cannot use martial arts in this hall. Even monsters like them are just people.

"Well, good. I shall now say it as head of the House of Lords. By the leave of the King of the Kingdom of Roselia and Lady Lupis Roselianus, it was decided that there was no justification for your actions in this case. The future treatment will be formally decided at a trial to be held at a later date, but until then we will suspend our status and rights as nobles and have them detained in the north tower."

And once the Marquis Halcyon hangs up his words, he laughs as he looks around at the reaction around him.

"Well... at the end of the day... I'd like to ask you if you have anything to say to us from Lord Goshiba, but what about all of you? I don't think I'll ever see this young hero again. But it's a corner opportunity. At the end of the day, I don't think it's too bad to ask you how you feel right now?

To that question, a laugh arose from the surrounding nobles.

"Cheng Cheng! That's a good idea."

"Um, how paranoid a claim is, you should be listening here. To make sure this never happens again."

Of course, listening to Liang Zhen's true mood is not bad in itself.

But the words they utter clearly contain mockery and malice.

First, they do not even think that Ryo Jin will answer their own questions.

I just want to humiliate a man named Ryoujin Goshiba who has criticized us and ignored our common sense and customs as aristocrats.

I guess it's the soul audacity to hear the yawdness and anger of the loser and laugh at him.

But even with all that ridicule and scorn around him, Ryo Michizawa's true appearance remained the same.

Then, when he gently clasped his shoulders, Ryo Jin opened his mouth more or less.

"That's right... well, now I don't have anything to say, but there are a few mistakes in Marquis Halcyon's words, so let me correct that... it's an opportunity at the corner, as the Marquis would say... Shin"

"Fault......? Me?

Marquis Halcyon tilted his neck unexpectedly to Ryo True's words.

It was the same for the nobles watching over what happened.

But with such ambient confusion elsewhere, Ryo Jan continues his words.

As he advanced his feet toward the knight who lays his sword before his own eyes.

"Yeah, the first one. Even if you can't use martial arts, you can easily kill them."

With the words, the palms of Ryo's true right hand accompany the belly of the knight covered in armor.

That's not a blow.

Literally, I just touched my body.

That's just one thing if there's something out of the ordinary.

Would it be as if just a little bright true giant seemed to have sunk to the floor in the moment of whether or not his palms touched the knight's body?

But the next moment, the knight fell to the floor groaning.

with massive blood reflexes.

Everyone loses their words to the sight in front of them.

It's too unexpected for the brain to handle.

Sure, from Liang Zhen's true physique, he might be able to beat the knight up.

But from what I mean by damage, it can be described as a less meaningful act.

At least, where I hit him from the top of my armor, he can't usually get a fatal injury or anything.

But the sight in front of me was far beyond such common sense.

On this occasion, only one person remains calm and calm.

And that just one man makes it look softly twitchy.

"Whoa, excuse me. That was just a little bit of a lie to make it easy...... hey my grandfather could literally kill amateurs like you in one blow...... as long as you're immature and embarrassed. Well, you have a torn stomach, so if you leave it alone and you don't get the proper treatment, you're going to die... but I figured we should make an intervention here as a samurai pity, right?"

With that said, Ryo Jin scratched his cheek in the light and crushed the back of the knight's head as he pained himself on the floor as he applied it to his blood reflexes.

It's like stomping bugs at your feet.
