Chapter 40: The Black Rose's Action
How did Tamara come out?!
Catherine looked at Tamara, who looked like she was fine, and couldn't believe her eyes!
Espionage is an absolute felony in Piltover, and Tamara faces more than a thousand years in prison without the possibility of parole—the result of Piltover's Supreme Court trial, which is sacred and irrevocable.
But now, she's swaggering out of prison like this?!
Catherine felt her blood rise, and the feeling of being a bastard getting away with it was what she hated the most, so she picked up her sniper rifle as soon as she could.
"Lay down your weapons." Seemingly a little distressed by the wound on Draven's shoulder, Tamara pulled out a piece of parchment—a material not commonly found in Piltover," this is an amnesty decree from the Supreme Council of Peel City. ”
Through the sniper scope, Catherine saw the familiar signature.
Executive Member of the Supreme Council of Piltover, Jagu Mirdar.
There was no doubt that it was a valid amnesty - that damn spy was indeed freed.
Catherine was hard to accept.
But in the face of the amnesty, Catherine can no longer mobilize the police, even if she is still indignant, but what can she do?
What seemed like a ridiculous Draeven and the Legion of Executioners had turned into merciless ridicule, and the Leather City Guards, who had been righteous, had become real clowns—and for a moment, Catherine felt how weak justice was.
Yes, we are justified, they have violated our legitimate and legitimate rights, but I have no way to do justice for myself.
Why?
Why can these guys be so unscrupulous?
The rats of Noxus have come to the fore, and the Supreme Council of Piltover has actually issued an amnesty!
A spy who had drawn up most of Piltover's detailed map was acquitted?!
This is probably the first time Catherine has been so disgusted with this damn Supreme Executive Council.
But their power is enshrined in Piltover's constitution – in a sense, it's nothing more than shit.
"Wrap up."
……………………
What's going on?
Let's rewind time a moment and go back to the time when Black Rose took on the mission.
Although it was a bit of a hassle to go to Piltover to get people out, it was undeniable that LeBlanc was in a very happy mood when he received the task.
Like she said, the black rose will bloom again.
The Black Rose is a mage organization with few members, but all of them are skilled dark magicians.
The former Black Rose Order used the power of dark magic to weave a large web that encompassed all the nobles of Noxus, and through this net they drew on the resources of Noxus - from this point of view, their thinking was somewhat similar to Rhodes'.
However, after the coup d'état was launched by the military meritocrats, not only was the structure of this net damaged, but more seriously, the big fish in the net either died or lost its value.
The strength of the Black Rose itself was not damaged, but they lost their resources.
Although the mages have a very strong foundation, without the power of one country to supply, they will soon be unable to support it.
So Black Rose would love to tie up with the current faction in power.
So, why didn't the black roses protect the nobles when the military merit faction did it before?
On the one hand, Svein and Darius were too quick to act, and after a complete plan, Svein took control of Zaun at lightning speed - and by the time the mages realized this, several of Noxus' most powerful armies had already declared their allegiance to Darius.
Although these mages are powerful, they are still unable to confront the army head-on with a mage regiment.
And on the other hand. The nobles did do a lot of stupid things, such as attacking Ionia for the sake of the population and land, and even though the Black Rose repeatedly stated that Ionia was terrifyingly powerful, they still insisted on doing it.
This made Black Rose also have the idea of changing partners.
The short-sighted aristocracy was abandoned, and the political situation in Noxus underwent a drastic change.
Since it has lost its first move, Black Rose simply changed a method - to wait for the price and sell.
Although the military merit faction took control of the army and imposed a temporary military control on Noxus, the normal administration still had to be restored.
In the civil service, the power of the Black Rose is enormous – so in this case, LeBlanc is willing to spy on his new partner.
And the results of the observation are also very satisfactory to her.
There are brains, there are powers.
When Svein summoned the Black Rose again, LeBlanc responded immediately, and a new alliance was reached.
And this rescue of Tamara is LeBlalan's vote.
Thank you to Draven for grabbing everyone's attention on the bright side.
Neuropathy has a use for neuropathy.
While Catherine and Camille, who was secretly observing, were both focusing on Draedin and trying to speculate on this neurotic mind, LeBlanc visited many of Piltover's extended families.
Mirdal, Kewald, Torek.
And the purpose of the visit is very simple - simple threats and charms.
Of course, there are also some secret deals.
A mage skilled in illusion, seduction, and assassination, LeBlanc's appearance caused the patriarchs of various families to suffer heart attacks.
This sudden appearance without warning brought a long-awaited tremor from the soul to these leather city bigwigs.
It's horrible!
If they wanted to assassinate, they believed they had become a dead man.
Although the big families in Picheng have a strict inheritance system, and the death of the patriarch will not cause much turmoil, no one wants to die, does it?
What's more, LeBlanc had already gotten the information Noxus wanted from Tamara in prison - after LeBlanc showed these materials, the bigwigs of Pi City had already realized that Tamara was still being held and had lost their value.
Maybe there is also formal justice, but it doesn't matter.
Now that Noxus has gotten what they want, is there any point in Tamara still not being in Piltover?
Wouldn't it be a good idea to exchange that worthless spy for something back?
Where Catherine could not see, Piltover stepped up his exports to Noxus, and the trade gap between the two sides widened further.
And the ones who profit the most are these bigwigs' own families.
On the whole, it seems that Piltover has lost face and gained benefits - but in fact, Piltover has not only lost his own face, but also his own dignity, and those petty profits have also flowed into the wallets of those oligarchs.
When learning the whole thing about it, Catherine thought a lot.
Maybe...... Rhodes was right.
Piltover has never had justice.
And all this was seen by Rod.
"It's kind of interesting."
————————
I don't mean to insinuate anything, but sometimes it's like this, and the so-called justice is mostly just a rag, pick it up when you use it, and don't need to throw it aside.
When justice conflicts with one's own interests, how many people can stand on the side of justice......
