Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1233



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1233. Do you remember Iriza Crow?

The results of Count Donal Began’s trial quickly spread throughout Ignace.

It is common knowledge that great nobles strengthen their bonds with each other through marriage.

Count Dounal Biegun was also a great nobleman with a stronger foundation than anyone else, having in-laws with the royal family of the Duchy of Fatima and the Supreme Court family.

He, who was truly one of the most prosperous nobles in Ignace, fell asleep when he woke up without committing any treasonous act.

Being exiled from the principality for twenty years was like telling me to just go to another country and start anew.

In addition, the confiscation of the mana stone mine and compensation!

People’s attention naturally turned to the victim who made him do that.

Around that time, strange rumors began to flow from aristocratic society.

―The daughter of a mana stone appraiser at the Coral Company is a co-disciple of Grand Master Count Elio Lagoa and Archduke Kaiser Knauf.

-The knights of the Archduke Knauf family came by airship to take her away, but it was at that time that the Blackjack Guild kidnapped her.

People were surprised to learn that there was another Grand Master in the Empire and that the daughter of a Mana Stone Appraiser became the Grand Master’s disciple.

Although the victim’s identity was widely spread through the security forces in the eastern residential district, its authenticity was never confirmed.

This is because as soon as the trial was over, the knights of the Archduke Knauf and the victim girl left Ignace.

Count Horde Camps.

Constellation Aporis.

Around noon.

Count Horde Camps visited the villa that his predecessor had built with the greatest care.

The reason he was cautious even though it was his own palace was because he hosted distinguished guests there.

As he entered the palace, he made eye contact with Count Elio Lagoa, who was in the living room at the time, and quickly bowed to greet him.

“Your Excellency Count Lagoa.”

“Ah, Mr. Magistrate. “Didn’t you go to the palace?”

“I think I should let you know… … . “I came out briefly during my lunch break.”

“What’s going on?”

“Do you remember Izza Crow?”

“When you say Crow, I think you’re referring to the woman who spoke rudely to me, right?”

“Yes, the body was found this morning at home after taking lethal drugs and committing suicide.”

“Dead?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm… … .”

A sob flowed from Elio’s mouth.

I didn’t intend to kill him, but I felt bad that he committed suicide.

“The family says they had a hard time learning the results of Count Donal Biegun’s trial.”

“Wow.”

Elio had nothing to say.

It’s true that she did something wrong, but that doesn’t mean she committed suicide.

“Viscount Crow would like to see you for that matter.”

“Me?”

“I ask for an opportunity to apologize for my daughter’s mistakes.”

“That’s Okay. “I’ll leave after lunch.”

If Izza Crow died, there was no reason to remain in Ignas anymore.

“Oh, yes. “You’re traveling south, right?”

“yes.”

“If that’s the case, let’s have a meal together before you go… … .”

“That’s Okay. I don’t want to cause any more trouble. “Go back to the palace.”

“Oh, yes.”

Count Horde Camps saw Count Elio Lagoa’s expression and did not offer any more suggestions.

After chatting for a while, Count Hodkamps said goodbye and left.

Elio, who was sitting quietly, suddenly let out a long sigh.

Someone commits suicide because of you?

For the first time, I felt guilty.

Even though I have covered my hands with countless amounts of blood, I have never felt guilty.

‘It’s not like I’m going to die… … .’

In the worst case scenario – like her husband was – she would be nothing more than a slave.

But she chose death rather than becoming a slave.

Even though it was a suicide, it was he who drove her to death.

The weight of karma, which was different from punishment for evil or war, pressed down on my heart.

At that moment, Fabian came out to the living room and spoke to me as if he was passing by.

“Why are you doing this?”

“Izza Crow committed suicide.”

“Yeah? “That woman who spoke rudely?”

“uh.”

“Why did you die?”

Elio responded to Fabian’s mutterings with a confused expression.

“Well, I don’t know why he died.”

“So you had a bad expression?”

“There’s no way you’re in a good mood. “It’s obvious it’s because of me.”

“Still, I did something deadly. “If the Count had been like any other great nobleman, he would have been killed on the spot.”

Even after hearing those words, Elio’s mood did not improve.

Above all, it is because his values ​​are different from those of the great nobles of this world.

“Viscount Crow wants to meet me, so I’m leaving right after lunch. “Tell Count Omar that when you meet him.”

“Why Viscount Crow again?”

“I want to apologize for my daughter’s mistake.”

Then Fabian frowned.

“Your daughter committed suicide and you want to apologize? “Is it true that Izza Crow committed suicide?”

“They say he was found at home with poison. “It’s obvious he committed suicide.”

“It’s because Count Lagoa doesn’t know much, but there are many cruel people among the nobles of the empire.”

“What are you talking about?”

“There are many people who kill their own children. Most nobles use their children strategically. There are more nobles who marry someone their parents chose than there are nobles who marry someone they love. Well, as a result, cheating has become a common occurrence.”

“What does that matter?”

“What I’m saying is that Viscount Crow may have killed him and staged it as a suicide.”

“Oh, no way.”

“The more children Elijah Crow gives away, the higher the chance of that happening. Iriza Crow wasn’t a good girl, was she? “It could be a child from Viscount Crow.”

“No matter what, should I kill my daughter?”

“Would Viscount Crow have been able to sleep peacefully after seeing the results of Earl Dounnell Began’s trial?”

“But that’s not it.”

“I’m not saying that’s necessarily the case, but I’m just saying that there’s a possibility.”

Fabian filed a murder case in the hope that Count Elio Lagoa would not blame himself too much.

Most suicides in noble families were murders, so it wasn’t nonsense at all.

When Count Elio Lagoa was intrigued, Fabian continued speaking.

“Honor killings are common in aristocratic families.”

Elio, who had been listening silently, spoke with a bitter expression.

“Even if Viscount Crow killed his daughter, it doesn’t change the fact that it was because of me.”

“But your heart will feel lighter than now.”

“Is that really the case?”

“Please meet Viscount Crowe. Doesn’t Count Lagoa have the magic of truth?”

“But what if it’s true that he committed suicide?”

“Isn’t it true that we have to make the most of it? “Will it change anything if we confirm that he committed suicide?”

“admit.”

“yes?”

“You’re right.”

“Then, should I ask Viscount Crow to come?”

“Okay, let’s go meet just that person. Tell the deacon here that you will meet him. “Baron Crow wants to meet me, so he’ll come running right away.”

“yes.”

Elio asked Fabian, who was about to turn around.

“Do you really think Viscount Crow committed an honor killing?”

“Not everyone is as romantic as you think, Count Lagoa.”

“Is it romantic for parents to cherish their children?”

“The very act of asking such a question is romantic. Not everyone pursues ideals like the Count. “Most people live by calculation.”

“So do you?”

“Why do you ask me that when you call me a snob?”

“Oh right. You are a snob. “Go.”

“yes.”

Fabian didn’t deny it, but immediately turned around and left.

He said he wanted to meet me, but at around 3pm, Viscount Norton Crow came with a gift.

Elio greeted Viscount Norton Crow in the living room of Aporis Villa.

Elio received a comment from the administrative minister, but he played it off and asked.

“Why did you come to see me?”

Viscount Norton Crow said as he placed the wooden box on the table.

“A few days ago, my daughter came to me and confessed to Your Excellency that she had made a big mistake. Then last night her daughter committed suicide out of guilt. “I came here because I wanted to apologize to Your Excellency.”

“What is that?”

“I raised a small amount of money as an apology. “It is a very small amount compared to the sin I committed, but it is all I have, so I would be grateful if you could accept it.”

At that moment, a wry smile appeared on Elio’s face.

His son committed suicide because he did something wrong to a great nobleman, and even though he couldn’t protest, he gave him money to ask for forgiveness.

Before he could say anything, Viscount Norton Crow continued.

“My daughter was a misbehaving child. During her teenage years she slept with many men. So when she received a marriage proposal from a male writer, she said yes without a second thought. She was anxious after that, and she ended up in such a big accident. She is finally shown taking responsibility, but it falls far short of the sins she has committed. “Please, with your generous generosity, forgive ‘Iraza’s sin.’”

He subtly emphasized ‘Iza’s sin.’

It’s not an unreasonable statement, but it was a truly cold-hearted statement in a situation where the daughter committed suicide.

“Viscount Crow.”

“yes.”

“Do you know who I am?”

“Yes, you have received the title of count from His Majesty the Emperor, and you stand shoulder to shoulder with Grand Master Archduke Knauf, who is called the legitimate son of the sword…” … .”

“What about the rumor that I am a magic swordsman and that I am particularly good at using truth magic?”

“I heard.”

Viscount Norton Crow trembled at the mention of the magic of truth.

“Other wizards do not often use mind manipulation magic because there is a risk of turning their opponents into idiots. But my magic doesn’t have that risk. So, if I have any questions, I tend to talk a little too much.”

“… … .”

“But I don’t want to use that on the Viscount. So tell me the truth. “Is it true that your daughter committed suicide?”

When he made eye contact with Count Elio Lagoa, Viscount Norton Crow quietly lowered his head.

“… … I did my best. “I thought it was best for your honor and for Viscount Crowe.”

He obediently revealed that it was his own doing.

Because honor killings were a family affair, even the empire did not impose legal punishment.

Since the in-laws had already been stripped of their titles, there was no one left to say anything about the honor killing.

Elio, who was looking at Viscount Norton Crow quietly, said.

“Take the money with you. And don’t ever appear before me again. “If you come into my sight after this time, I will definitely kill you.”

“Yes, yes. thank you.”

Viscount Norton Crow stood up and bowed.

Although he had been warned, he was satisfied that he had not been punished.

This is because Count Elio Lagoa could have accused himself of the crime just as he had done to Baron Scot (his in-law).

Eventually, Viscount Norton Crow, who took the box of money, left without looking back for fear of being caught.

Fabian, who was watching from the side, said with a triumphant expression.

“I was right, right? “I heard that his child committed suicide. I recognized him when he said he would come to apologize.”

“Yeah, you’re great. Let’s leave now. “What about Count Omar?”

“You are going out at the invitation of the court official. “He said he would be back soon.”

“Why the palace bag?”

“Why, I’m doing this to deliver news to Baylem’s territory. “There is a court wizard here, so you came to ask for a favor.”

“aha.”

“Doesn’t Count Lagoa manage the estate? “Latinus, it’s been a while since you got it, but hasn’t it been a while since you got the northern slash land?”

“Where is the time to manage that?”

“But if you leave it alone, tax collectors will steal all your money.”

“okay? Then you do it. “Don’t just say you are my vassal.”

“Me? All right!”

As Fabian laughed happily, Elio shook his head.

I passed on the work, but I don’t know why I like it so much.
