Department of Justice of Othello.

This is the place where the supreme power of Othello is concentrated, and as the highest legislative body of the executive autonomy star, the Ministry of Justice can not only implement the supreme constitution of the Federation, but also amend the Planetary Autonomy Act on its own. It is no exaggeration to say that every latest bill conveyed from here is enough to cause a major earthquake in the entire Proxima Centauri. Its existence even reflects to some extent the attribution of the power of the Othello Star Autonomous Council.

Prior to the First Expedition to the Nine-Star Republic, the Osveld family controlled most of the seats in the Council. In addition, in the Ministry of Justice, the Ausvid family controls nearly half of the legislature. It is the existence of these two forces that makes every administrative decree issued by Othello Star tailor-made for the Osvid family, and the power of the Osvid family relies on the covert help of these decrees to grow exponentially.

However, now Othello is facing an invasion of family forces from the Alpha Capital Circle, and due to the illness and death of Osvid II, the Osvid family, which was once able to cover the sky with one hand, is no longer as glorious as it once was. In the Ministry of Justice, which decides the fate of Othello, it is no longer the Osvid family.

Just as in a commercial leak case heard in the Seventh Civil Court of the Ministry of Justice, the man standing on the dock like ashes is the former commercial representative of the Ministry of Commerce, who has the fourth heir to the Osvid family, Wright? Auschwid.

Maybe a few days ago, this blonde-haired Wright? Osvid still fantasizes about ousting his own brother, who has just risen to the pinnacle of family power. Even if there is little hope that this dream will come true, he can sit comfortably in the seat of the business representative, sitting in the office and happily counting the growing wealth in his account.

But since Governor Brandon held a birthday party, his nightmare began to come. He lost his job after being exposed to corruption, and then, less than two days after leaving office, he was arrested on a trumped-up count of commercial leakage, and after a cursory review, the case was formally heard in the Seventh Civil Court.

was once the fourth heir to the throne of a wealthy family, but now he is an embarrassed prisoner. It only took three days for this change to happen, and about this business leak, Wright? Osvid had no idea about it. But now, the judge in the black uniform has declared that the evidence is conclusive and wants to convict him.

"Impossible! ~ There can't be those evidences, I didn't do anything at all, why should I be condemned? I was wronged, and all the evidence was forged! Ansel must have asked you to do this, I know, it must be him! ”

At the same time as the judge made the final decision, Wright, whose face was like ashes? Osvid could no longer bear the horror in his heart, and he roared like a mad dog at the indifferent judge.

"Falsifying evidence? Are you questioning the fairness of the federal courts? ”

The judge's indifferent answer made Wright? Osveld's involuntary body shook and trembled in defense: "But I didn't do that, there is no way to have these evidences!" ～”

"Your time has passed, the judge has ruled against you, and you will be sent to Bruno Prison for a period of 10 years. Now, retire! ”

As the judge and jury left, two strong prison guards rudely grabbed Wright? Osvid's hair, in his hysterical shouts, dragged him out with a drag.

"Poor idiot......"

In the last row of the seats in the 7th Civil Court, Ansère? Osvid crossed his legs in the front row, sipped a cigarette in his mouth, and watched with a playful gaze as his half-brother was treated so roughly.

"Young Master...... Wouldn't it be too ...... for you to do this" Beside her, Vivian looked at Wright, who also had the bloodline of the Osvid family, with sympathetic eyes, and said hesitantly: "Although Young Master Wright has been opposing you, ...... But you're helping outsiders now, isn't that too risky? ”

As Ansel's personal secretary and mistress, Vivien knows the ins and outs of the whole affair all too well. Including reporting Wright's embezzlement and falsifying the leaked evidence, all of this was done by Vivien herself. Therefore, although it was happy to get rid of Wright, the opponent of the family, it fueled the power of the Brandon family, which made her very uneasy about the family's prospects.

"Those arrogant clowns can't be happy for a few days, Othello belongs to the Osvid family, and no one can shake that. So, sending those foolish brothers who are still dreaming of nothing to hell is the first thing I have to accomplish. Ansel smiled evilly: "If you go outside, you must first settle inside, this principle can be applied everywhere." ”

"But taking advantage of this opportunity, Brandon wooed Kimberly? Mellon, even meddling in the illegal arms deal. I'm afraid he's going to swell too quickly and threaten you. ”

Anse El pursed his lips disdainfully: "Kimberly? Mellon is just a puppet, how much energy can a meat-selling bitch have? When Eugene? When Mellon comes here, Brandon will see the hell he has built with his own hands......"

"Eugene...... Eugene is coming? Vivien's eyes widened in horror.

"Yes, my friend has finally made this most sensible decision, and I am really looking forward to his arrival. But ......," Ansel muttered to himself with a sudden twinkle in his eyes, "but I'm more worried about that guy named Robin than those politicians who can only play tricks." He's the biggest beneficiary of this power vortex, and I can feel what he's planning...... But I can't guess a lot of what he's doing......"

Retracting his thoughtful gaze, Ansel casually snuffed out the cigarette butt and asked, "Isn't the investigation against him inconclusive?" ”

"It was as if he appeared out of thin air, and he couldn't find any clues in the Federation. But there was word from Brandon's side, which seemed to say that he was one of the pioneers of the Byron family......" Vivien said hesitantly.

"Pioneers?" Anse El was stunned, then shook his head and said, "Not really." Check the information on the E-18 White Hole entry, and you may be able to find some information. ”

"E-18 White Hole entry information?" Vivien's eyes widened, "President Dawson revoked the customs equipment of the E-18 White Hole five years ago and established the Northern Star Domain as the Free Star Domain. There is simply no entry record over there. If there is a record of the exit of the E-18 black hole, it can be checked. ”

"He doesn't have an exit record, I have already checked it. So, if he was really a pioneer of the Byron family, how could he not have a record of leaving the country? Anse El smiled coldly: "And although the E-18 White Hole has canceled the entry customs, there is a high-precision surveillance system of the military over there." If he did arrive here through the E-18 White Hole, then just calculate the spherical coordinates where he left the White Hole, and you can roughly calculate where he came from. ”

"I'm going to get in touch with the military." After thinking carefully about Ansel's suggestion, Vivien hesitated, "But...... It may take a long time to get results. ”

"It's okay, I can wait." Anse El smiled and got up to leave...... A few days later, following Cecilia's orders, Lieutenant Barron arrived at Othello Spaceport in the AT-056. Lieutenant Barron was accompanied by Christine, who is currently in charge of the electronic information system of the entire fleet.

After going to the spaceport to berth the AT-056 in person, Robin took Lieutenant Barron and Christine back to his business apartment.

"Wow! ~Boss, this is really a bustling planet. I thought we were going to live a life of fugitive, but I didn't expect that in just two months, we ...... "The first time we came to a prosperous administrative autonomous star like Othello, Christine talked like an overexcited child.

"Christine, how many times have I told you, talk less and do more. This isn't the Octopus station, do you want to kill us? The old-fashioned Lieutenant Barron grabbed Christine by the throat and choked the words that followed him.

"Ahem......" desperately pushed Lieutenant Barron's arm away, and Christine gasped like a drowning person: "Lieutenant, do you want to strangle me?" You can't say anything well! ～”

"Barron is right, you can't talk nonsense here. You know, there are a lot of eyes on us now, and if you don't want to be caught and hanged, you should keep your mouth shut. Hearing the conversation between the two, Robin walked over with a few cups of coffee, handed them to Barron and Christine one by one, and sat down on the couch in the room.

Robin ...... Boss, I heard a lot of rumors about you while I was waiting at the port. You...... What the hell are you doing here? Why are so many people talking about you? Barron wanted to call Robin the captain, but when he thought of Robin's warning, he hurriedly changed his words.

"These things are complicated to say, and I will tell you them one by one when I have time in the future." Robin took a sip of coffee and asked casually, "Did Cecilia tell you about my Brustar rescue plan when she went back?" ”

"Said some." Before Lieutenant Barron set off from the Octopus space station, Cecilia had roughly explained the current situation to him, as well as the 60,000 Republic prisoners of war who were about to be sent to Bruno, so now that he heard Robin mention this, Lieutenant Barron immediately held his breath nervously.

"In that case, I won't explain any more. I will only tell you one thing now, the first step of my plan has been completed, and when I have all the steps ready, we will personally go to Bruno to find out what is going on, and in the meantime, you will have to cooperate with me in all my actions. ”

“……”

Glancing at each other in surprise, Lieutenant Barron and Christine hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Yes!" ～”
