Chapter 794: More Talking

Redleaf youve really taken this as your own home, havent you

Her wants didnt go unanswered long before Doris came back with a tray of snacks of sweet creams and honeys. With a smile, Redleaf gladly dug in.

Looking at her enter afternoon tea mode, Misseger knew that the elf had no more questions. Turning back to her master, she continued reporting, Two months ago, Viscount Nollens was found to have secretly transferred his assets to the Kingdom of Ertalon. Thanks to our royal mages, we managed to capture the Viscount before he managed to abscond

This revelation was big. There was now a high chance that the mastermind was connected to Ertalon. But why would the personal maid of the King know about how some viscount was secretly transferring his assets to another kingdom two months ago? Especially since he did so secretly.

Clearly, our dear Majesty had his intelligence forces monitoring the entire kingdom, and the person in charge of this department was most likely this mature-looking beauty in front of us!

As for why no one noticed these intruders before they proceeded to intrude Well, I really didnt know. Perhaps a mistake? Or perhaps on purpose? Either way, that had nothing to do with me.

But now that we had the culprit responsible for this security lapse, another problem arises. I did not know this Viscount Nollens, and even if he had seen me before, he shouldnt have known about the progress of the lab.

The progress was a highly-guarded secret, with only the King and the Prince, and perhaps their closest confidants, having access to this information.

If such confidants were responsible for the leak then this kingdom wasnt that far off from its doom. In that case, the most likely people to have leaked were those working on the project!

Now, just because the brass of the lab were always fooling around and watching movies, didnt mean they werent tight-lipped when it mattered. Every researcher was monitored as required. Even with his royal ties, Amori had never left the palace since starting on this project, not even once, let alone those under him.

The only way those working underneath him could sneak out this bit of information was if they had some method we werent aware of yet.

Some very arcane methods, brimming with fantasy

At the end of the day, the Prince was heir to the throne, and a monarch shouldnt shy away from such decisive methods when necessary. Leaving a loose end often resulted in greater tragedy in the future.

In fact, that last question by Misseger was probably a test, one which the Prince failed. Or at least he showed himself too soft, or average.

Unable to bear with this disappointment any longer, Andassis the Seventh turned to address me, albeit with a beaming smile on his face. Lady Mo Na, how do you feel we should deal with the Viscount and his family?

Their punishment? Is there a need to ask my opinion?

As the victim, Lady Mo Na naturally has the right to decide their fates.

Oh, is that so? I was a little taken aback by that. Something felt off, but I didnt know what. Right, but what was the original punishment?

Hmm

Andasiss the Seventh glanced in the direction of Misseger, who immediately got the message and picked up the conversation. According to the law, their whole clan is to be executed.

All of them?

You mean even the children?

This is a matter of the Royal Familys honor! Misseger answered firmly. If we do not punish them for their misdeeds, then no one would follow the law. Especially since this matter concerns the kingdoms secrets.

Thats true

Even if the punishment was overly harsh and devoid of human rights, it was a punishment of this time. Something minor like human lives was nothing compared to the dignity of the royal family.
