Chapter 571 Special privilege (1)

Neither of them said a thing as they just stared at each other.

Finally, it was the marquis who broke the silence by saying, "Your highness, you can't do this to me. My family has loyally served the kingdom for many generations, is this how the royal family treats their loyal vassals?"

To the marquis' surprise, the fourth prince actually gave a chuckle in response before saying, "Is that so?"

The marquis deeply knitted his brows when he heard this before saying, "Your highness, even if you insult me, I cannot allow you to insult my family. We are a proud line of nobles that helped build this kingdom when the empire collapsed."

The fourth prince just gave a shrug as he said, "But that was all in the past. Your ancestors might have been loyal vassals, but can you really say the same about yourself?"

The marquis revealed an ugly expression when he heard this, but he didn't say anything.

It wasn't that he didn't want to defend himself, it was just that he had no idea what the fourth prince knew.

If he said too much, it wouldn't be good for himself.

So he wanted to see just what the fourth prince would try to blame him with.

The fourth prince saw that the marquis wasn't saying anything, but he wasn't that surprised by this. Almost as if he was already expecting this, he reached his hand out towards one of the cloaked figures.

That cloaked figure took out a bundle of papers from under their cloak and put it in the fourth prince's hand.

After taking that bundle of papers, the fourth prince raised it up in front of himself and read, "Three counts of suppressing the commoners in villages in your territory, forty different counts of assaulting women, and..."

The fourth prince continued to read out the things written on the paper in front of him and there were many different crimes of the marquis that were exposed.

It seemed that the marquis was as much of a scumbag as we had expected him to be.

The things that he did, it was hard to believe that he was even human.

The fourth prince gave a nod as if he had decided something and said, "We'll strip him of his title and take away his territory. That should be plain and simple."

"Huh?" The marquis clearly did not expect to hear this as he looked at the fourth prince in shock.

With just a few simple words, the fourth prince wanted to decide on stripping his title away?

How could someone do something like this?

The marquis naturally wouldn't accept this, so he pulled on his chains and said, "How can you do something like that? Do you think that you're his majesty?"

The fourth prince calmly looked at the marquis and pulled out something before saying, "I think that I can represent his majesty in this case."

The marquis was about to say something until he noticed what was in the fourth prince's hand.

The moment that he saw the token that the fourth prince was holding, he couldn't help saying in a stunned voice, "Mark of the Sun..."

I looked at the thing that was in the fourth prince's hand and I couldn't help being surprised as well since I recognized this thing.

The others were confused, but I knew what this was.

This was a token that had appeared in the game before, it was a token that could only be granted by the ruler of this kingdom.

That was because this token was a representation of the king.

As long as one had this token, it was as if they were seeing the king themselves.

This was a special privilege that would only be given to those that the king trusted.

So why did the fourth prince have something like this?
