Chapter 35: Let's Wipe Them Out

Even though the Baron Relbrandt case was over, I couldn't rest. All the piled-up work had accumulated at once.

"When on earth did things get so hectic?"

"Well, you've been away for quite some time. And you've been getting a lot of requests to assign cases to Your Honor," Joseph smiled mischievously, explaining.

This all happened because my popularity had grown so much. Of course, I didn't grant every request people made.

Case assignments are made according to internal regulations. Changing those regulations with power was unnecessary. If I did that, someone else would do the same. It's the law that those in high positions should set an example.

"But I need to show some flexibility. I solved such a difficult case."

"We've been working hard to deal with it. But now, this is all that's left."

"So how many trials are there this week?"

"That's eight in total. There are two days left until the weekend, so you can do four a day."

Previously, there were one or two cases per day. But it is not possible to leave old incidents unattended. To maintain the principle of a speedy trial, everything had to be completed within this week.

'Can't we allow broad discretion like in back of my world? All other laws are a mess, but this one is strict.'

What can I do if I don't want to do it?

As the highest judge, I must lead by example.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to maintain discipline in the courts. I took a deep breath and put on my robe. But then suddenly someone knocked on the conference room door.

**Knock, knock.**

"Who are you?"

Josef, who was busy sorting documents, got up. Soon, a man with a slightly kind look came in.

"Hello, Your Majesty."

The other person nodded in greeting, but I ended up tilting my head. When I first saw him, I thought, 'Why is he so cute?'

Then, I had to nod my head. Surprisingly, he was someone I had a great deal of friendship with.

"Are you Baron Relbrandt?"

"Yes, that's right."

"You seemed a lot bigger just a few days ago."

"Once the doppelganger's charm wore off, I didn't even want to look at food. I starved myself for a bit, and I lost weight right away."

"If you suddenly stop eating and drinking, it won't be good for your health."

"I went to the temple and they said it was still okay. I plan to gradually adjust and try to get back to my former state."

"I'm glad it looks good though."

We chatted lightly and moved to the reception room. Soon, Baron Relbrandt began to sing all kinds of praise. To be honest, it was burdensome to listen to.

"You could say it's like God speaking to me!"

No, I don't think it's to that extent. Even though he had saved my life, I wondered if it was okay for him to say something like that.

Finally, I raised my hand slightly and stopped Baron Relbrandt's rambling. I felt like I was going to cause a bigger accident.

"Thank you for your kind words. However, I'm really busy with work due to this matter."

"Ah! You were away for a long time because of me."

"Yes, I am sorry, but I cannot give you much time."

"Don't worry. Then I'll just make it brief and leave."

**Swish.**

Baron Relbrandt carefully took something out of his bosom. As he opened the lid of the luxurious box, a brilliant light spread out. A fairly large diamond was the source of the beam of light.

"This is a top-quality jewel crafted by dwarves. It will look good on any piece of jewelry."

"Why are you suddenly showing me this?"

"Well…"

Baron Relbrandt looked around, observing. He himself must have known that this was wrong.

'Does anyone know that?' seaʀᴄh thё Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

I wanted to yell at him like this, but he was my uncle, so I couldn't do that. I said, tapping the lid of the box shut with my fingertips.

"This is too much of a thank you. I just did what I had to do, so I don't deserve this."

"This really makes me embarrassed about my hands."

"Why don't we sell this jewel and help the people in distress? They've suffered a lot because of this incident."

The Relbrandt estate was a complete mess. I had found the lord's vested interests, but what about the people who had been exploited by thieves all this time?

How can I figure out how much was stolen and how?

In fact, it was virtually impossible to save it.

But if there is a will of the highest authority, the story is different. The lord holds a lot of wealth in his hands.

"Ah!"

Baron Relbrandt let out a long sigh. It was as if he had attained some great enlightenment.

"Your Majesty, you are truly a compassionate person…"

"I just saw the tragedy."

I quickly hung up because I thought he might say something about God again.

By the way, I had a feeling that it wouldn't work if I just let it go like this.

Should I say that it left a strange aftertaste? I tilted my head and was lost in thought, when suddenly some guys came to mind. I said with a meaningful smile.

"There is something Baron Relbrandt needs to do."

"Order whatever you wish. I will believe whatever Your Majesty says, even if you say you will make wine with your mouth."

"That's not going to happen… Alright. Let's just move on. There is a most urgent matter at the Relbrandt Estate."

"Is it anything other than saving the people?"

"Yes, that is the measure that should be applied first."

"I'm very curious about what it is."

"It's simple. You know those bandits that the doppelganger brought in?"

"Yes."

"Let's wipe them out first."

"Oh! I forgot that."

Baron Relbrandt nodded vigorously. But it was at that very moment.

"Baron Relbrandt's influence brought about a great change in the community."

"A reward will be given."
