Chapter 246: Arrest
The situation in Fallosi has been a bit turbulent lately, but not to the level of turmoil, except that Mrs. Nishizawa always hears some gossip when she is out and about.
Ever since the innocent fire in the Blackwood Forest left a large group of Blackwood Elves homeless.
The whole of Fallosi was talking about it, but as the wife of Duke Kuroki, Mrs. Nishizawa knew very little about it.
Fortunately, after she entrusted her daughter to the care of the Blackwood Elves, she did not have an accident in the fire.
And the reason why Mrs. Nishizawa is so eager to send Caroli out of Duke Kuroki's territory is because her husband has been in a strange state recently, and although he is not seriously ill on the surface, it feels like a different person.
The many servants in the manor gave her the same feeling.
By a coincidence, Mrs. Nishizawa peeked into the body of a servant in the manor and turned into a terrifying monster, far more terrifying than a demon.
This led her to leave Duke Kuroki's territory alone with a few cronies, risking her life to go to the royal capital for help.
After half a month's journey, Mrs. Nishizawa arrived in the royal capital of Fallosi the day before, and is now preparing to go to the Central Academy of Drama, the most authoritative in the royal capital.
Mrs. Nishizawa sat in the carriage and saw a crowd gather on the other side of the street, and a man in a gray robe was talking impassionedly about it.
"A group of fiery demons have burned down the Blackwood Forest! Ladies and gentlemen, please stay away from that plagued land, for our great king has sent his soldiers to fight against the demons! Before leaving, please mourn the innocent inhabitants who were killed by the demons in that fire! ”
This was a very common improvisation in the territory of Fallosi, but what the performers preached made Mrs. Nishizawa frown slightly.
Ever since Nolan came into contact with the Chaos Demon named 'Joshua', Mrs. Nishizawa's perception of demons has changed dramatically, and at least she doesn't want to admit that that good artist would be a 'cruel and savage' demon in the mouth of the Holy Cult Country.
And the fire in the Blackwood Forest, from the letters of her daughter Caroli, Mrs. Nishizawa learned that all this was done by the Inquisition of the Holy Religion Country!
This is also the reason why she has come to the royal capital now, in order to tell the king what the Holy Religion has done.
The royal capital of Phalosi was filled with rumors that demons had burned the Blackwood Forest, and Mrs. Nishizawa was sure that all of this was done by the missionaries of the Holy Religion.
"Olise, whether our king will avenge your clan or not depends on your own sincerity."
Mrs. Nishizawa withdrew her gaze and looked at a dark wood elf girl sitting in the carriage, a witness who had been referred to Mrs. Nishizawa by Sephaun, the elder of the elven clan.
"I'll be mindful of what I say and do, Duchess Kuroki, and thank you for giving me this opportunity." She saluted Mrs. Nishizawa.
The carriage came to an abrupt stop as it entered the Central Academy of Drama in the royal capital, and Mrs. Nishizawa opened the curtain of the carriage to see a dozen heavily armed knights standing outside.
"Stay in the car and don't get out." Mrs. Nishizawa, after saying this, opened the door of the carriage and stepped out of the carriage.
"I am the wife of Duke Blackwood of the Northlands, Kalana van Donal...... You'd better have a reason to stop me. ”
Mrs. Nishizawa's gaze swept over the group of heavily armed knights, including two powerful magicians.
"Kalana van Donal, wife of Duke Blackwood and daughter of the Counts of Northland, declares to you by the laws of the Empire... You're under arrest. ”
One of the knights stepped out of the queue, pulled open a scroll, and pronounced the sentence loudly.
"Arrested?!"
Mrs. Nishizawa's heart sank instantly, she didn't expect that after coming to the royal capital of Fallosi, she would suffer such treatment.
The other knight had already stepped out of the queue and was handcuffed to arrest Mrs. Nishizawa, who felt the fluctuation of magic in the carriage behind her.
The Darkwood Elf girl seemed ready to save Mrs. Nishizawa, but Mrs. Nishizawa raised her hand to signal her not to be impulsive.
"I want to know what my crime is? Who gave the order! ”
Mrs. Nishizawa's hands were handcuffed, but her tone was surprisingly calm.
"Unfortunately, that's beyond our reach, but you're about to be put on trial."
The leading knight gave the order to the soldiers under his command, and the soldiers walked directly to the carriage, which seemed to be ready to search.
By the time the soldiers opened the wagon, the black wood elf had vanished, and the soldiers took out a suitcase from the wagon.
In addition to Mrs. Nishizawa's clothes, the suitcase contained a primordial crystal that recorded the image of "This Demon Is Not Too Cold".
"We'll keep it for you." The knight in the lead said, "Now please come with me to the court." ”
"I didn't know there was a court at the Central Academy of Drama."
Mrs. Nishizawa's voice gradually turned cold, and her gaze swept over all the knights and soldiers present, and some of the more timid soldiers did not even dare to look at Mrs. Nishizawa.
She also belonged to the powerful aristocracy in Falosi, both her husband and her father belonged to the first class of the nobility in Falosi.
Therefore, if there is no suitable charge, these knights and soldiers involved in the arrest will face the trouble of being beheaded, and ......
"There are few people in Falosi who are qualified to interrogate me." Mrs. Nishizawa said.
"It just so happens that these guys are waiting for you in the courtroom today, please come with me, Mrs. Nishizawa."
The knight who led the team walked towards the depths of the Central Academy of Drama, and Mrs. Nishizawa followed them all the way to a magnificent building.
"Senate..."
Mrs. Nishizawa certainly knew what this magnificent building represented, and it was the center of Falosi's power in many young people, but power was still in the hands of kings and nobles in those days.
Although the patriarchal system still exists, its influence is much less than it once was.
Mrs. Nishizawa was led by the knight into the historic building, and as the surrounding primordial crystal lights inscribed with the word 'Illumination' were lit, Mrs. Nishizawa could clearly see the figures sitting in the seats of the 'judgment seat'.
Indeed, as the knight had said, all those who participated in this trial were the great men who were qualified to judge her.
"I want to know what crime I have committed, Your Majesty Crondo...... This trip to the royal capital was the worst I had ever been born. ”
Mrs. Nishizawa looked at the middle-aged man with the crown sitting in the center, although Mrs. Nishizawa did not see her father among them.
But the king of Phalosi and her husband, Duke Kuroki, were close friends.
The king did not speak, his expression was very solemn, and his gaze was fixed on a slender minister beside him.
The minister slowly stood up and pulled open an old parchment scroll.
"Karana van Donal, you have been accused of treason, colluding with the demons of the Demon Realm in an attempt to summon the demons to invade the borders of the Phalosi."
"Ridiculous! I want to know who accused me! Mrs. Nishizawa asked in a loud voice.
"Your husband, Duke Kuroki......"
