Time is wasted.
As the trial went on, all Enbelde felt was that sentiment.
It was a quality trial anyway. It was a throwaway anyway. However, there was a benefit that had to be gained for sure.
All of this was a waste of time now that it has been shattered by the appearance of a character that was not expected at all.
‘Rather, unexpected losses began to occur.’
The drake pilot, who was thought dead, came back alive, and as if someone knew in advance and took the lead, the cases that tried to accuse Ragnis were resolved in the hands of those related to her like a ghost.
Needless to say, when she suggested that she was preparing an evil deed by inciting Baron Favaera, she wanted to tear her hair out the moment the name Eldmia came up. Because the guild officials were accompanied and submitted evidence, they were placed in a situation where they might be caught.
Thanks to that, as soon as today’s trial was over, there was nothing left to do.
‘If I don’t solve that cheeky bastard soon, I have no idea what more he will do in the future.’
The contact with Favaera must be clearly erased. If you do something wrong, your connection to the demons will be exposed.
At the same time, even the character of Eldmia Ega had reached a situation where he had to use his hands somehow.
‘I don’t know how much I know and I don’t know how much it is true... but there is a possibility that I know too much.’
When he tricked himself by mentioning the name of the Iron-Blooded Princess, he was unknowingly taken aback, but in fact, it was absurd enough to know that it was a lie after thinking about it for a bit.
Mixing truth and lies to deceive others is the basic of basics. It’s absurd that he was beaten by a young guy, but it was largely because the story related to Delt was shocking.
‘It’s a pity. It’s such a waste.’
He said he was only 15 years old.
It is said that he was 14 when he cut Delt, but what kind of 14-year-old boy could cut the neck of a knight who had reached the level of an expert? If it hadn’t happened directly, I would have thought it was a fictional story that would come out of a chivalric novel that children read.
But it is real and hostile. If that’s the case, even if that talent is a waste, you have no choice but to crush the roots.
“...So, today’s court will end here. Tomorrow’s trial will...” As soon as the trial, which was only
running toward an obvious conclusion, was over, Envelde spurred on and stood up.
On the other side, there was no time to pay attention to the people of the royal family who treated Ragnis kindly and took care of him today, and Ragnis, who responded with a smile. Contrary to what he had heard, he had no intention of reacting to the earnest gaze sent by Viscount Etaville, who was approaching the guillotine due to the ever-desperate judgment.
He was the person I was originally going to dispose of at this opportunity. There was no reason to have any more regrets in the yard where he was in debt to him and even the pilot of the flying dragon who was used.
Time was running out for Envelde just by working hard to overcome the adversity that was right in front of us in order to move forward.
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would not have attended the trial at all.’
Even if something is ordered, as long as you are in the courthouse, you will receive a proper report after the day has passed. No matter how much you brush up on your subordinates, more than half a day is wasted. He did not doubt their abilities as they were his chosen subordinates.
It’s just that these times that I’m literally throwing away on the ground were a problem.
However, there was no way he would have posted such a report without even properly checking the guild near the capital, so he just barely asked back while biting his molars.
“What the heck... when...?”
Certainly, among the nobles, there is even a story that they have visited the night market a few days ago with satisfaction, but at what point?
“Capital patrols said they found a scorched camp during a routine patrol. According to information, it’s been two or three days, and most of them have had their throats cut...” “You killed that many without a rumor? Hunter
Mer Do you even use it to sleep?”
“He... died without any proper resistance...”
Envelde felt as if his patience had been exhausted just by not being able to change the color of his face. I felt like I was going to vomit in the feeling that the world was going round and round.
However, the subordinate’s words were not over yet.
“And...”
“There’s another...?”
“While you are at the courthouse, an official letter from the empire has arrived at the royal court.”
Enbelde let out a long sigh, barely suppressing the desire to sit down from a strong sense of exhaustion. At the end of the ridiculous bad news, a story came out that was a bit breathless.
At the same time, thinking that Eldmia didn’t know this fact and only shook a white envelope that was nothing, a laugh came out of her mouth even in the midst of serious and dejectedness.
After all, a child is just a child. In the end, this is an information battle...
“The Empire... will never take lightly the slander that took place over the Marquis of Levien this time, and will spare no help in uncovering those who have insulted the Empire’s friends and loyalists. ...”
“What?”
Enbelde had no choice but to throw off the mask she had barely maintained until now.
What the hell did I hear?
“The Empire...supported Ragnis?”
“Yes. Even the letter was not delivered to the royal family through the messenger of the empire.”
The subordinate’s gaze moved in the direction Envelde had just been looking at.
please. Hoping it wasn’t, Enbelde turned her head to follow his gaze as her whole body stiffened.
Eldmia was standing there.
Still waving a white envelope in one hand, with a face full of ridicule.
“Eldmia...!”
With the hand not holding the letter, he made a vulgar gesture of extending his middle finger toward himself.
