Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1231
Only Noblemtl
Episode 1231. What punishment do you think will be meted out to me?
It is not easy for the magistrate, Count Hod Camps, who is only a sword expert, to deal with Elio’s ferocious energy.
He didn’t move as if he had been hit directly by the dragon’s pier.
Count Damon Isaac, the commander of the Knights of the Archduchy Knauf, lightly patted him on the shoulder.
The administrative minister, who was only then released from his stiffness, answered with a white face.
“Yes, yes. “I will bring His Majesty the King right away and get permission from Count Biegun!”
Then Count Damon Isaac corrected his mistake.
“Administrative Minister, there has been a back and forth. “I’m going to get permission from His Majesty the King and bring Count Biegun with me.”
“Oh, I see. Because I was careless, I made a mistake. “Then let’s go out first.”
The administrative minister, in a state of panic, left without looking back.
Baron Gladys Cronor, the chief of security, hurriedly followed behind him.
***
Aurea Castle of Prince Atencio Catiz.
The bedside escort knight knocked on the door of the bedroom where the King and his wife were sleeping.
I didn’t notice it at first, but as the sound got louder, Prince Atencio Catiz eventually woke up.
“Come in.”
When the king gave permission, the bedside escort knight carefully entered the bedroom.
The queen, who was still asleep, just tossed and turned without opening her eyes.
“Your Highness, the Minister of Public Administration is waiting for you to come and meet you.”
“Hmm… … .”
Prince Atencio Katiz was irritated, but he thought it would be okay if it was such an urgent matter, so he changed his clothes and headed to the reception room attached to the bedroom.
Reception room.
“What’s going on?”
As soon as Prince Atencio Catiz saw the administrative minister, he got straight to the point.
Count Hord Camps said, bowing his head as if he was sorry.
“Do you remember the incident where Count Elio Lagoa’s disciple was kidnapped early this evening?”
“I heard it was like that in the eastern residential district? “Has the culprit been caught?”
“Yes, it was done by the Blackjack Guild operating in the Eastern Residential District.”
“You probably didn’t come to me to tell me that, so just keep going.”
“The Blackjack guild leader was arrested… … He confessed that he had done it on the instructions of Count Dounal Biegun.”
“what? Why does Count Biegun’s name appear there?”
Prince Atencio Catiz looked at the magistrate with a surprised face.
Count Donal Began was the three princes’ father-in-law and a prestigious nobleman in Ignace.
But why did he kidnap Count Elio Lagoa’s disciple?
Prince Atencio Catiz could not understand it with his common sense.
“It is said that Red Valley Mana Stone Mine, owned by Count Began, and Coral Company recently signed a contract to supply mana stones. “It is said that Count Biegun attempted to persuade the mana stone appraiser to obtain a higher grade for the mana stone.”
“Does the Chief Executive think what he said is true?”
“It is difficult to say anything for certain as the investigation has not yet progressed to the extent of determining the truth of the statement. However, Count Elio Lagoa found out about it… … . “We are demanding an investigation by Count Biegun.”
“Are you saying that Count Lagoa has been hunting down criminals until this moment?”
“yes. “The person who caught the kidnappers was also Count Lagoa.”
“For a wild man, he’s quite passionate. So, why did you come to see me at this time?”
“Count Lagoa wants to investigate Count Biegun.”
“ha! i get it. “As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, I will call the advisor and discuss the matter.”
“Your Highness, not tomorrow… … Count Lagoa wants an investigation to take place immediately.”
Then Duke Atencio Katiz asked back with an absurd expression.
“Did you say right now? “Are you telling us to arrest Count Biegun at this time and investigate, believing only the word of a criminal who is not the leader of the rebels?”
“That’s right. I said, ‘I need your approval, so I will see you when the sun rises and tell you.’ But… … . “There was no way to communicate.”
“Holy shit!”
At that moment, King Atencio Catiz was in tears and hit the table with his fist.
‘bang!’ The Chief Executive trembled at the sound.
“Your Highness, please fix it.”
“Fix it? Is that what you want to do by waking me up past midnight? It should have been handled somehow out of respect! “Don’t you know that waking me up at this hour is an insult to me?”
“I am sorry, Your Highness, but Count Lagoa is not the type of person to just sit back and wait.”
“What if I don’t wait? “Well then, what is the Count doing?”
Prince Atencio Catiz’s excited voice became increasingly louder.
The administrative minister, who had been listening silently, quickly spoke when the king took a moment to catch his breath.
“Your Majesty, Count Damon Isaac, Swordmaster, has acted like a butler before him. “You should consider him on the same level as Archduke Knauf.”
“… … .”
Prince Atencio Catiz did not refute.
Even without the Chief Magistrate reminding me, I know what a Grand Master is.
How bad would it be that His Majesty the Emperor would bestow a title and a fief without even looking at his face?
His shoulders, which had been jumping up and down, slumped.
Now was not the time to show off the king’s pride.
“Arrest Count Biegun, but interrogate him directly, not from the security forces, but from the magistrate.”
“Me?”
Count Hod Camps, who did not want to get involved with Count Elio Lagoa, asked back in surprise.
Then Prince Atencio Catiz spoke firmly.
“You take charge of it. “I don’t want to leave the interrogation of my in-laws to the security forces.”
If the security forces took charge, rumors about Count Biegun would spread within a day.
Apart from punishing the crime, such shameful things had to be prevented.
“Do you, Your Highness, want me to minimize or cover up this incident?”
“you’re welcome. If that happens, Count Lagoa will go crazy. Do you think the troops stationed in Ignas can deal with him?”
“If that’s the case, I’ll take it.”
The administrative minister, who had already been harshly treated once by the security forces, was extremely reluctant.
“I hope that Count Lagoa will not come looking for me because of this. Do you understand what I mean?”
“Yes, I won’t leave even the slightest suspicion.”
“Yeah, and… … “Prohibit Count Biegun from entering the royal castle until the case is concluded.”
“All right.”
The administrative minister could not help but complain in his heart.
This is because it means that Prince Atencio Catiz will distance himself from the Count Biegun family.
It was a surprising twist considering that he had been furious with Count Lagoa just a moment ago, but he accepted the Prince’s decision for granted.
Because grand masters are like that.
Count Horde Camps bowed to Prince Atencio Catiz and left the reception room.
***
After returning to the eastern residential district security post, the administrative minister conveyed the king’s will to Count Elio Lagoa and then ordered the security chief to bring Count Biegun.
Elio and the knights of the Archduchy Knauf left the constabulary only after watching the constable, Baron Gladys Cronor, depart with the constables.
An hour later, the Marshal and Count Donal Began arrived at the constabulary.
The magistrate and Count Donal Biegun sat across from each other in a special interrogation room reserved for nobles.
“Your Excellency Count Biegun. “I apologize for asking to see you at this time.”
Count Horde Camps greeted Count Donal Biegun politely.
Since she was King Kong’s in-law, she greeted me first as was her usual custom.
Count Dounal Began began his fortune with a clumsy face.
“I heard roughly. When the Blackjack guild leader died, you said you were holding me back, right?”
“Yes, he made an outrageous claim that it was instigated by His Excellency Count Biegun. Please be honest. Were you involved in the kidnapping of Ms. Syncrair Jeter?”
The administrative minister did not change his mind because the matter was a serious matter.
For a moment, Count Dounal Began frowned.
“Besides the fact that you summoned me at this time, isn’t that kind of a title a bit excessive for the daughter of a mana stone appraiser? Do you really think that your status as Count Lagoa’s disciple is higher than that of the great nobles of the Principality of Fatima?”
“Can you do the same in front of Count Lagoa?”
“Hmm, this is just something I did because I was frustrated with reality.”
When Count Dounal Biegun changed his mind, the magistrate did not pursue further.
“I will ask again. Were you involved in the kidnapping of Ms. Syncrair Jeter?”
“Nothing like that happened. It’s just a frame. You know the hardness. “If you get to a position like mine, there are a lot of people who will try to drag you down in some way.”
“But this matter is so specific that I can’t help but check. I heard that Red Valley Mana Stone Mine and Coral Company recently signed a contract to supply mana stones? His Excellency threatened the mana stone appraiser to change the grade of the mana stone… … .”
“Shut up! Why would you make such a foolish statement in front of someone! Do you think I would kidnap someone just for a few bucks? “I am Count Dounal Began!”
Count Donal Biegun shouted, but the magistrate did not even blink.
“I heard an interesting story from the security forces a little while ago. “Do you know that Count Lagoa is a magic swordsman?”
“What does that have to do with me?”
“When he chants strange spells, people spill their secrets. “They say it was because of the magic of truth that they found Ms. Syncrair Jeter.”
“… … .”
“If the results of the investigation are inconclusive, Count Lagoa will say that he will investigate you personally. If we get to that situation… … . I will give him permission to interrogate His Excellency. Do you wish to sit across from Count Lagoa?”
“You’re crazy. Doesn’t Sir have the pride of a great nobleman of the Principality of Fatima? Handing over the earldom of the principality to his outsider? And me, the King’s in-law? Count Camps! “Do you think you will be safe if His Majesty the Duke finds out?”
“His Majesty the King has entrusted everything to me. Oh, by the way, we would like to inform you that the Count Biegun family has been banned from entering the royal castle from this time on.”
“what! Whoever you like! “Are you planning on treason?”
“This is the order of His Majesty the King.”
For a moment, Count Donal Began’s face was filled with embarrassment.
“Well, is that true? “Did His Majesty the King really ban our Count Biegun family from entering the royal castle?”
“If you don’t believe me, ask me to request a meeting with Count Biegun. Oh, you won’t be able to pass through the gates, so you won’t be able to apply.”
“why? Why did His Majesty the King do such a thing? “What on earth does Count Lagoa say?”
“Tsk tsk! Don’t just think about making money, but also take an interest in worldly affairs. “He is a grand master who ranks shoulder to shoulder with Archduke Knauf.”
“Grand… … master?”
Count Dounal Biegun looked at the magistrate with a bewildered face.
“The advisor, Marquis Magnus Herman, the courtier, Count Walter Goldman, and the chief justice, Count Stan Dyer, were present at the security guard a little while ago. Why are we facing each other in the interrogation room at this hour?”
Count Donal Began, who had been sitting in a daze, smiled with a helpless look on his face.
“haha. Now I see that I was a baby in the forest. “It’s no wonder His Majesty the King keeps his distance.”
The magistrate, who was listening to Count Donal Biegun’s self-deprecating words, asked insidiously.
“Please tell me. What happened?”
“ha! I just told the Blackjack guild leader, ‘Make the Mana Stone Appraiser follow my will.’ “But he ruined it to this point.”
Count Donal Began passed responsibility to the head of the Blackjack Guild until the end.
“All right. “It has been confirmed that you gave some kind of instructions to Blackjack Guild Leader Prad Taylor, so you will have to stay in the security forces from now on.”
“What punishment do you think will be meted out to me?”
“Honestly, I don’t know. Wouldn’t it depend on Count Lagoa’s intentions?”
“Have the kidnappers been arrested too?”
“no. They all became a handful of pieces of meat on the field. That’s why I said I didn’t know what kind of punishment would be given to Your Excellency.”
Count Donal Biegun, despairing at the magistrate’s words, closed his eyes tightly.
