Satyas. Prince Antonin is a middle-aged man full of charm. He was tall and had the fortitude of Anduin's royal family. The two mustaches on his lips were very well groomed, which showed that he was a man who paid attention to the traditional court etiquette of Ferreton.
In this respect, His Royal Highness and Earl Thompson have something in common.
After all the nobles had arrived, a cardinal of the Platinum Temple recited a sacred prayer in front of the statue of the dragon god, and the assembly officially began.
First, a royal clerk reads out the results of the investigation into the demonic incident. After the lengthy process of yawning the early aristocrats, the Accountability Trial finally began.
The first unlucky one was a man named Heather. Baron of Reinnarin and Master of the Three Rings. He is also a member of the Court Mages Guild of Ferreton. This time, the demon army opened the spatial portal and invaded the main material realm, the location of Andory, which was under the jurisdiction of this mage.
Although the sparsely populated Cold Mist Mountains were originally an area with low supervision in the Empire, and although the spatial instability of Andory Town had just appeared and was used by the demons, leaving no more warning time for this baron, but since such a thing happened, Heather. Baron Reinaline had to take on this responsibility. What's more, he has an indelible stain - when the demons invaded the main material realm, he violated the rules of the court mage guild and left his post without permission to vacation in the forest region of the southwest of the empire.
After a vote of all the nobles, this unfortunate bastard was deprived of his title, land, office, all wealth, and a qiē social privilege, and was reduced to a common freeman. But fortunately, he was just guilty of dereliction of duty, so he saved his life. For a three-ring mage. Even if you have nothing, it will not be difficult to make ends meet in the future, but you will have to endure a lot of hardship.
Next, under the chairmanship of the Prince, the Assembly held several nobles accountable. And punishment was imposed on the guilty. However, most of these people made small mistakes such as dereliction of duty, and they were marginal people who were far from conflicts of interest, so they did not make any big waves.
Rob. Archduke Antelo sat on a silver throne second only to the prince and the representatives of the three major churches, and waited quietly. Earl Thompson, on the other hand, was talking and laughing with the nobles around him with a relaxed expression, which seemed to be for him. The choice of wine for tonight's banquet is more important than the ongoing meeting of the nobles.
"Below, it's about Joshua. Baron Feder vs. Gordon. Baron Freeman's accusations. Joshua. Baron Feder, please make a statement. After the clerk read aloud in a voice rich in the tone of the imperial capital, the entire aristocratic assembly was scene. It was as if a stupid bear who had just been sleeping smelled honey and suddenly woke up.
Joshua. Baron Feder shifted his fat body out of his seat, and then ran to the center of the hall with a snort. I don't know if it was because of the nervousness or the temperature in the hall was too high, he sweated, causing large water stains to leach on the chest and back of the nobleman's robe. This wolf bèi dress. Coupled with an ugly face that couldn't bear to look at directly, Prince Satyas, who had always paid attention to etiquette, couldn't help frowning.
"Everyone!" Joshua. Baron Feder pointed to the horrific scar on his face, "Since the return of the Cold Mist Mountains, until today, I have never appeared in public, and I have not even met my former friends. Why? Just because of this face! ”
Many nobles cast sympathetic glances at him. For the aristocratic class who pay attention to appearance and appearance, it is indeed a very sad thing to have such a scar on the face.
With such a face, do you dare to participate in proms, dinners, horse races, and so on? I am afraid that the life of a nobleman will be ruined by this.
Joshua. Feder because of his looks. Inherently, he is very sensitive to the eyes and evaluations of the outside world. Now, due to the influence of the demonic toxin, he has become such a dignified face. This baron didn't care how embarrassed Gordon and the others were when they made the decision to leave these poisoned people behind. Baron Joshua, who had a grudge, was naturally very lightly co-opted and instigated by Earl Thompson.
"That morning, I and many others drank the water of the stream that had been manipulated by the devil. After poisoning. Gordon. Freeman's fear of demons instigated the leaders of the human team to abandon all the poisoners in a remote cave. We endure pain, desperate struggles, and wait for death to come. And Gordon. Freeman, but escaped! If it weren't for the heroic Knight of Drington who showed up on his way to reinforce the Autumn Hunting Expedition, I am afraid that I would not be able to stand here and speak today! ”
Joshua. There was nothing flowery about Feder's statement, but it was quite convincing with the mournful tone and the glaring scars on his face.
Gordon sat in his own seat, his face calmly bearing the questioning glances cast around him.
In Joshua, the abandoned poisoners were only revealed for the first time today. Many nobles were indignant that there was such a stain behind the miraculous victory in the Cold Mist Mountains.
"O dragon god, please punish that despicable mage!"
"Gordon. Freeman, you are a disgrace to the nobility! ”
……
I don't know if it's sincere or planned in advance, there are already many nobles pointing at Gordon and scolding.
Gordon turned a deaf ear to this qiē.
"Accuse me of instigating the leaders of the team to abandon the poisoners? That's a clever ploy. Indeed, it was I who left the poisoned ones behind in order to maintain the march. But in the end, it was the entire aristocratic leadership that made the decision. Including Ms. Bishop, the Rev. Angelo, Viscount Curtis, and even Earl Thompson, who had always been at odds, agreed to this decision. Now, they want to make me alone with this crime, what a bunch of fools...... Well, let me see what other tricks these clowns have up their sleeves. ”
Gordon knew that Earl Thompson wanted to use himself as a breakthrough to Rob. Archduke Antelo martyred. Now, that's just the beginning.
The high Prince of Satyas for Joshua. Feder's accusation was also somewhat moved. He asked, "Baron Joshua, is there any evidence other than yourself?" ”
"Of course, Your Royal Highness. Please allow those poor people who have had the same experience as me to come to this sacred hall. ”
"Hmm."
With permission, led by two guards, a group of civilians entered Bahamut Hall through a side door.
They were young and old, male and female, but one thing they all had in common was that they all had terrible scars on their faces similar to those of Joshua. However, Gordon realized that among these civilians, there was still a person who was different, and did not seem to be affected by the after-effects of the demonic toxin.
It was the black maid beside Drington. Now, Gordon finally knew why she was so hostile to herself.
These commoners, who were weak and pale, and struggled on the brink of pain at the very first sight, aroused the pity of the nobles at once.
Earl Thompson watched the changes in the mood of the nobles in the hall, and inadvertently showed a smug smile. He looked at Knight Drington sitting on the other side, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, as if the matter was under control.
"These are all outcast poisoners?"
"Yes, Your Royal Highness. The dragon gods are above, but fortunately, the noble and benevolent Knight of Drington has appeared with them, so that the truth can be revealed. ”
"Knight Drington, is that so? Please stand up and describe in detail what it was like that day. ”
"Of course, Your Majesty the Honorable Prince." The most handsome and beautiful young man of the Eisenstein family stood up, made an impeccable bow, and walked to the center of the hall.
There are many female nobles whose eyes have become hot.
Seemingly enjoying the high-profile situation, Derlington appeared in high spirits. He said in a magnetic voice: "After I received the emperor's ** order to go to the Cold Mist Mountain Range to rescue the Autumn Hunting Team and annihilate the demon army at the station, I immediately advanced at the fastest marching level. We quickly entered the Cold Mist Mountains, and then continued to advance along the trails after the battle. The morning before the rendezvous with the Autumn Hunting Party, the scouts of the cavalry came to report to me that something had happened. At the time, the lad was pale and spoke a little incoherently. I was still a little strange, how could the stick boy in the cavalry team be so abnormal? But when I walked into that cave, I understood. ”
Drington is well-versed in presentation skills. He paused slightly, waiting until the audience had fully digested the message of his words and had developed new expectations before continuing: "As soon as I walked into the cave, I smelled an indescribable stench. It was the smell of corpses mixed with festering abscesses. Then, I was stunned by the qiē in front of me. The cave was littered with corpses. No one buried these poor people, no one sang requiem prayers for them, and the believers of the dragon god died so sadly. And those who survived, there was nothing they could do but wail, weep, and insanitately wait for death to come. ”
Drington walked up to his maid, took the maiden by the hand, and said, "Her name is Angelie." When I found her, the poor and strong girl was digging a humble grave for her dead parents with her own hands......"
Drington held Angeli's hand up, and it was easy for sharp-eyed people to see the girl's newly grown nails and the scars that had not yet healed.
The nobles in the hall were in an uproar in an instant.
Drington's statement was brilliant. He didn't directly accuse Gordon like Joshua did. The knight simply recounted the tragic situation of the victims, and with his beautiful voice and handsome appearance, it seemed even more emotional and infectious.
The pity of the nobles was aroused by the success of Drington. While sympathizing with these civilians, they naturally ask: Who caused this qiē? Who is to blame for what happened to these poor people? Who should be punished?
