Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1225
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1225. What happened now?
Marquis Reg Evans, who was drinking wine while listening to the Bardos’ performance, stopped.
‘huh?’
I felt like I was missing something, but I couldn’t quite remember what it was.
I glanced at Count Elio Lagoa, but he was eating meat with a relaxed expression.
‘is not it?’
If it had anything to do with him, it would have come out a long time ago. Because he is the one who destroyed not only the North but also the sword masters of the Empire.
Marquis Reg Evans, who was slowly looking around the hall to see if he had missed anything, stopped when he reached the knight commander, Count Berthe Pons.
Count Bert Pons was gesturing with a nervous look on his face.
‘what?’
Marquis Reg Evans turned his head to where the knight commander’s gaze was pointing.
It was a place where the passengers of the carriage gathered.
What’s over there?
Just as he was about to call the knight commander and ask, he saw a woman sitting with a mesmerized face.
‘omg! ‘Izza Crow?’
They hanged Baron Grian Scott and his son and enslaved him, but forgot to deal with Izza Crow.
Marquis Reg Evans hurriedly looked back at Count Elio Lagoa.
He was still busy eating – as if he had starved for several days.
You say you can do it, but how can you believe that even the victim, Count Elio Lagoa, forgot about her? She felt sorry, but at the same time she was dumbfounded.
“Hum, hum, Count Lagoa. “Have you forgotten anything?”
“Tsk, tsk, me?”
“exactly. Iza Crow. “Didn’t you forget to punish Baron Scott’s men?”
“No.”
“Ah, then you don’t plan on holding her accountable?”
Could it be that she wants to end this by turning her husband and father-in-law into slaves?
“It can’t be. I do not discriminate between men and women. “If she committed a crime, she must be punished.”
“Then, would you like to continue?”
Elio said as Marquis Reg Evans looked at the knight commander.
“Viscount Crowe is not here. “I intend to take responsibility where Viscount Crow is.”
“ah… … .”
Viscount Crow is located in the royal capital of Ignace.
It looks like they are going to call Viscount Crow there and ask him for the crime like he is doing now.
‘That’s terrible.’
Ignas has to go one more day by carriage.
What they’re saying is that they’re going to drag Iza Crow around like that until then.
Perhaps because he comes from a barbarian background, he has no consideration for nobles at all.
Nobles treat other nobles as leniently as possible when they commit a crime.
They show mercy because they don’t know when they will suffer.
That is why compensation was developed.
Even if they are taken prisoner by the enemy during war, they are released by paying money.
Wouldn’t you know it if there was a deep resentment that ran through generations in the family?
It is an unwritten rule that nobles do not kill other nobles.
However, Count Elio Lagoa had no consideration for fellow nobles.
Marquis Reg Evans thought about pointing it out, but held back.
This is because it is unlikely that there will be a great noble who will attack the Grand Master.
After thinking that far, Marquis Reg Evans immediately praised his opponent’s decision.
“It’s a wise decision.”
“Oh, not even wisely.”
Elio waved his hand.
It’s not because there’s any reason, but because I’m embarrassed to be praised for being wise.
Still, Marquis Reg Evans did not stop praising him – to the point where Elio, with his thick face, caught the attention of Count Larva Omar and Fabian.
After the banquet was over, the passengers were assigned lodgings in the outer castle.
However, Andrea Jeter’s family was taken to a VIP-only residence in the inner city.
next day.
After finishing breakfast, Elio and his party left the castle with a warm send-off from Marquis Reg Evans.
After meeting the Marquis, several changes occurred on the stagecoach.
The transport manager and guards treated Elio Lagoa and his group with the utmost care.
Andrea Jeter’s family also received treatment similar to that of great nobles.
Unlike before, when they were stuck in their dorm, Andrea Jeter’s family was able to move freely, and whenever they did, guards followed them like escorts.
In the case of Syncrair Jeter, the transportation director and guards consistently used polite language toward her because she was young.
Unlike Andrea Jeter’s family, Izza Crow has been completely forgotten.
Not only nobles but even commoners did not want to be together with her.
***
After driving for a full day, the carriage arrived at the royal capital, Ignace, at dusk.
This is when the guards lead the three carriages to the castle gate.
Hundreds of heavily armed cavalry rushed out in an orderly manner from inside the castle gate.
When the cavalry was blocking both the left and right paths, the King of Gong’s elite knights appeared.
Flags engraved with golden lions, the symbol of the principality, filled the road in front of the castle.
Transport director Leon Toros was not fazed by his experience in the gateway city of Odessa.
He stood still, as humble as possible, and waited for someone to come.
After a while, Count Scud Hunter, leader of the duchy’s knights, came running, leading his knights.
“I am Count Scud Hunter, commander of the Knights of the Duchy of Fatima. Who is Leon Toros?”
Leon Toros knew that what happened in Odessa was known and took a step forward.
“I am Transportation Director Leon Toros.”
“Guide me to where Count Elio Lagoa is.”
“yes.”
Leon Toros could not help but complain inwardly as the incident in Odessa was repeated.
Eventually he stopped in front of the lead carriage.
For a moment, he appeared as if he were Count Elio Lagoa’s subordinate.
“Count Elio Lagoa, Count Scud Hunter, commander of the Knights of the Duchy of Fatima, has arrived.”
Count Scud Hunter glanced at him with strange eyes and then got off his horse.
Elio opened the window, craned his head, and asked.
“Who?”
Then Count Scud Hunter took a step forward and spoke.
“This is Count Scud Hunter, commander of the duchy’s knights. “His Royal Highness Prince Katis is looking forward to meeting Count Lagoa.”
“Is that all?”
“Yes, what else do you need?”
Count Scud Hunter blinked, surprised by the unexpected reaction.
Elio, who was looking at him with a sullen expression, said.
“Let’s find out from Count Bert Pons of Odessa and come back. Mr. Toros, let’s go.”
As Elio closed the window, Leon Toros hurried back to his seat.
Soon, the three carriages slowly disappeared into the wide open castle gate.
Count Scud Hunter, who was standing with a bewildered face, looked back at his adjutant.
“What happened now?”
“Count Lagoa declined His Majesty the King’s invitation and left.”
“so why? “What’s the problem?”
“I guess you’ll have to ask Count Bert Pons of Odessa about that.”
“Oh, I did.”
Count Scud Hunter belatedly remembered Count Bert Pons.
“Didn’t you say that you accepted the invitation of Marquess Reg Evans in Odessa?”
Count Scud Hunter, who had not yet recovered from the shock, made a single noise.
The inferior adjutant continued his explanation step by step.
“It appears that there was some sort of deal with Count Bert Pons. “Let’s send a magic transmission and find out before it’s too late.”
“… … .”
Only then did Count Scud Hunter hurriedly get on his horse.
Soon, the cavalry and knights of the principality lined up in front of the castle gate quickly dispersed.
Passersby who had been pushed off the road appeared one by one on the road.
After passing through the gates, the three carriages entered the station of the Stagecoach Association.
It arrived at its destination after a month and a half.
The passengers who got off the carriage left without looking back, fearing that someone would catch them.
It was the same for Izza Crow.
Guard Olaf, who was watching Iza Crow walking away, muttered to himself.
“Shouldn’t we catch him so he can’t escape?”
Then Duvalier spoke.
“By what authority do we? “The nobles will take care of it.”
The other guards shook their heads in agreement.
Additionally, the guards are part of the Stagecoach Transport Association and are supposed to protect passengers.
In other words, it was a situation where I had to pretend not to see Iza Crow.
One by one, the trembling guards moved to their offices.
Elio’s group and Andrea Jeter’s family also parted ways in the history of the Stagecoach Transportation Association.
Andrea Jeter’s family went to the house prepared by Coral Store, and Elio and his group looked for temporary accommodation near the station.
Fortunately, since it is the city where King Kong lives, the only place I stumbled upon was a tavern.
Elio and his group found a room in a large and cozy place.
It was right after Elio and his party finished dinner that Count Scud Hunter, the leader of the duchy’s knights, came.
“Is it possible that His Excellency Count Lagoa wants Viscount Crowe?”
“It’s similar.”
“iced coffee! I didn’t know that and wasted my time. Viscount Crowe’s recruits had already been secured. Rather… … “I feel dishonored for telling you something bad.”
“What is it? “You’re not asking me to look after Viscount Crow, are you?”
“Not at all. “We have received a report that His Excellency’s student, not Viscount Crowe, has been kidnapped.”
“Yeah? “Synclare was kidnapped?”
“Yes, Andrea Jeter reported to the security forces a little while ago. During a meal with her family… … . “She was kidnapped by unidentified assailants.”
“Do you ever kidnap people while they are eating with their family?”
“It doesn’t happen in the nobles’ quarters, but it happens often in the common people’s quarters. Since there are many people coming into Ignas from outside… … .”
Elio, who was listening to the knight commander’s excuse, jumped up from his seat.
“Please guide me where to go.”
“yes? All right.”
Count Scud Hunter couldn’t even make a noise when asked to go from the place where his student was kidnapped.
‘Tsk! I guess I’ll have to give up tonight’s banquet.’
By the way, on the first day that Count Elio Lagoa visited the royal capital, he also kidnapped his disciple? I don’t know who it was, but I really wanted to kill him by tearing his limbs apart.
Ignas East Residential District Security Unit.
Baron Gladys Cronor, the head of the security forces, was sweating profusely as she had to deal with the sudden influx of great nobles.
I thought so when I first received the kidnapping report.
There were one or two kidnappings of children every day, so it was no surprise.
However, the police were shocked by what the father of the kidnapped child said.
“Our daughter, Synclair, is Count Elio Lagoa’s disciple. Please contact the Count. He said he would be staying at a tavern near the station.”
As soon as the report was delivered to the royal palace, the chief justice, Count Stan Dyer, the magistrate, Count Horde Camps, and even the courtier, Count Walter Goldman, came running.
The eastern residential district is a residential area for commoners, so it is difficult to see the faces of nobles.
With so many great nobles flocking to such a place, Baron Gladys Cronor seemed to be suffocating.
I remember seeing Count Elio Lagoa’s name in a proclamation from the emperor.
However, he had no idea that the palace would be turned upside down due to the kidnapping of his student.
Not only the security forces but also knights of the principality were mobilized to search for the kidnapped child.
After reporting the kidnapping situation to the royal court again, she went out for a while.
When I reported the kidnapping to the Supreme Court Justice, the Minister of Public Administration, and then to the Royal Highness, my head started throbbing.
It may be the first time for the great nobles to hear it, but they are getting tired of repeating the same report three times in a row like a parrot.
As she came out to the police station yard and took a break to look at the night sky, her eyes opened brightly.
A huge airship was flying towards the security force, as if it belonged to the emperor.
‘no way… … . ‘You’re not coming here, are you?’
