The staircase in front of him Lei Zhe couldn't count how many floors there were, and on each floor, there would be a few knights in silver armor standing with swords on top of them.

Today, Lei Zhe was dressed very carefully, he wore all the clothes that an earl should wear, and what made him a little cold was the attitude of the people next to him, and no one came up to greet him, the earl.

Although he is a stranger, he is an earl after all......

Whether this time I came out alive or died in it will probably be opened.

To stand up when beaten, and never express any dissatisfaction with himself, this is what Lei Zhe thinks at present.

When Lei Zhe finished walking the stairs, he felt that his calves were a little numb, and he glanced at the middle-aged uncle next to him, and Lei Zhe was a little admired.

Looking back, the entire palace was suspended in the air, surrounded by stone pillars, and there were not many people on the huge aerial platform.

Before coming, Adolf had already supplemented him with the etiquette of meeting the king, so Lei Zhe didn't even think about finding a nobleman dressed the same as himself, and took a step to stand directly beside the other party, and he didn't know if he was thinking too much or what, the other party opened up a short distance the moment he approached.

One after another, people came up, like people who had been isolated, which was the same as making a mistake in class and being invited to the podium.

There are stone pillars everywhere around, and there is no fence on the side, if it weren't for the distance Lei Zhe wouldn't dare to stand on both sides, it wouldn't be a joke if he accidentally fell, is this design for throwing objects in the air?

Woo!!

The sound of the horn sounded, and when he heard the voice, Lei Zhe immediately straightened up, waiting for the arrival of the king.

In the sky, two snow dragons stepped in the air and slowly landed on the platform on the stairs, and the golden carriage was full of gorgeous pendants, which was similar to the carriage that took Lei Zhe just now.

The sound of footsteps stepped on the jade ground and made a crisp sound, and the nearly two hundred people in the entire square barely made any sound.

Dressed in golden armor, Lei Zhe has heard that the current king is a warrior, and it is understandable to wear armor on this occasion, looking at the burly man walking in front of him, Lei Zhe's eyes did not dare to sweep over, and he could only lower his head and look at the figure in front of him through the afterglow.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Walking forward, Lei Zhe bent down and shouted loudly with the crowd, because his status was not low, his people were almost at the front of the queue, which also made him clearly feel the pressure from above.

Alva sat on the throne with his ass, his flat gaze swept over the ministers below, and when he saw Lei Zhe, he couldn't help but have a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was not obvious.

"Get up. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"It's been a few days since McClure passed away, and I am deeply saddened by the fact that a marquis has died in the Holy Empire!"

Bang, his heart hung violently, Lei Zhe didn't dare to raise his head, but the words he didn't want to hear were the first to hear, listening to the king's dull voice, Lei Zhe understood that his fate today would definitely not be much better.

"Your Majesty, this matter has been investigated by the Society, and the Marquis of McClure died in the territory of the Wells family in Carnnasshire, and it is indeed found that he died in a group of powerful ogres. ”

"Ogre? Isn't that a creature that lives in the Dwarven Empire, how could it be in the territory of the Holy Empire?"

"This subordinate doesn't know, Your Majesty can ask Count Lei Zhe. ”

This dramatic dialogue made Lei Zhe's scalp tingle a little when he listened, this dialogue was obviously to kick the ball on him, so many days have passed since McClure's death, and now the trial obviously wants to completely shift the blame to him in front of Lei Zhe.

Lei Zhe, who had already made a plan, did not intend to refute, there was no lawyer here, and no one from the upper council was on his side, since he came, accepting trial was the only option.

"Count Razelle, didn't you notice the presence of a group of ogres in your territory, and why did you delay the banquet until that day?"

"The subordinates don't know ......"

"I don't know? Ridiculous! Ogres are the enemies of humanity, and I heard that you accept foreign races, so can't these ogres have anything to do with you?"

Reich was silent, he didn't know how to answer the accusation, the king must have known about him and the Minotaur tribe.

"Don't answer? Do you confess your guilt?"

"Your Majesty......" Lei Zhe, who raised his head and wanted to say something, was stunned, looking at this familiar face for a while.

"Leonard ......"

"Tell me, what does this matter have to do with you. ”

Feeling a little dry in his throat, Lei Zhe didn't expect that the person who came to talk to him yesterday was actually the king, it's ridiculous that this guy said yesterday that there was a way to save him, and Lei Zhe now regrets why he didn't accept that help yesterday.

"Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with me, and I can swear in the name of my grandfather that I have no reason to assassinate a marquis who has come to my banquet. ”

"Hmph, although there is no evidence that McClure died at your hands, McClure did die on your territory. ”

"This matter is my responsibility, and I will not deny it if I fail to manage the territory well. ”

"Hmph, just understand, for this incident, the Supreme Council has drawn up a punishment for you, from now on, all your territories will be handed over to the Empire, the title will remain unchanged, the new territory will be in Turku County in the south of the Empire, and after two days, you will get up and go to Turku County, and you will not be allowed to stay in the Holy City. ”

"Will Reich be willing to accept the punishment?"

I wanted to say no, but he didn't have a choice, the punishment was obviously too severe, although he didn't know much about the laws of the empire, but Lei Zhe also understood that if a marquis died in his domain, he would at most be charged with mismanagement, and he would not redistribute the territory.

The southern part of the empire is the poorest place in the entire Holy Empire, and the east of the Marat River is almost all desert, not to mention people, not even animals, in the past, except for eating and waiting for death, Lei Zhe couldn't think of any other results.

But can he say no?

No.

Almost suppressed his voice to the lowest level, Shen Lei Zhe spoke: "The subordinates are willing to accept the punishment. ”

"Your Majesty, this is inconsistent with the outcome of the meeting!"

"Ferdinand, this matter has come to an end, you don't need to say more, and you must not deal with this matter secretly, and everything will be supervised by Robin. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Until the end of the council, Lei Zhe finally breathed a sigh of relief, he thought that he would die in the parliament, but he didn't expect the result to be the same as expected, just changed the territory, the king really did not and did not dare to kill him easily, as long as the Wells territory was handed over to others, and the goal of keeping Lei Zhe away from King Kamnas was achieved.

The replacement of an earl is definitely a heavy blow to the northern forces of the empire.
