Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1454



Only Noblemtl

Episode 1454. If you were a knight too

Adjutant Golan and 1st Platoon’s Rider Duke also knew that insubordination was a subject of immediate punishment during wartime.

However, the reason he was able to fool around with Captain Ashley Nelson was because he trusted in the strong support of Viscount Cotton Bernardo.

But that only applies to Baroness Ashley Nelson.

If I had known that Commander Elio Lagoa was behind Baron Nelson, I would never have done such a crazy thing.

The two people who were listening to the intimate conversation between Count Lagoa and Baron Nelson could not even breathe and just rolled their eyes.

Then Commander Lagoa looked at them and said something terrible.

“Hey, knights. Insubordination during the exhibition is punishable by immediate dismissal. You know that much, don’t you?”

In an instant, the two knights collapsed on the spot.

They lay down like dogs, burying their heads in the snow and shouting.

“Commander! Please forgive me!”

“Please save me!”

Count Lagoa is known for his merciless manipulation of not only the counts of the kingdom but also the marquises of the empire.

Moreover, it would be a waste of time to kill a knight who has committed treason.

Elio looked down at the two knights and asked.

“Do you know what you did wrong?”

“Yes! Please forgive me!”

“I was wrong!”

Baron Nelson looked away with a puzzled look on his face, but Elio was persistent.

“What did I do wrong?”

At that moment, both people answered almost simultaneously.

“The commander’s orders… … .”

“Baron Blavico… … .”

Elio frowned, growing increasingly bored with the unfinished conversation.

“Are you saying the captain was wrong? Are you saying that Baron Blaviko was wrong?”

This was purely a play on words.

But from the listener’s perspective, it seems that wasn’t the case.

Duke, the first platoon rider, spoke first, saying he would live alone.

“Baron Blavico told me not to listen to the captain’s orders.”

Adjutant Golan, who was looking at the Duke with a hot face, shouted hurriedly.

“I, I heard the same thing from Baron Blavico.”

“Did Blavico tell you not to follow Baron Nelson’s instructions?”

“Yes, that’s right. I told you to protect the pride of a knight.”

“You want me to protect my knightly pride by rebelling? Are you really saying something so crazy?”

“yes…….”

“You followed that crazy order without thinking?”

“That’s… … I heard that Baron Nelson was appointed as a captain because he was His Majesty the Marquis’s bed partner. He said that if you have a captain like that, you’ll all die, so you should get rid of him… … I’m sorry.”

“There are more crazy people than I thought.”

Elio, who had been mumbling, called out to a nearby knight.

“What is your name?”

“Yes, Commander! It’s Vasily!”

“Vasily, are you a knight?”

“Yes! I am the 3rd Platoon rider!”

“I see. Vasily! Go and fetch Baron Blavyko. Tell him that if he doesn’t come out right away, he will be beheaded for disobeying orders.”

“I will obey your orders!”

Vasily saluted and ran inside like the wind.

After a while, Vasily returned with a knight in his forties.

Baron Jamil Blavico, the head of the Armaments Department, shouted with a frozen face.

“Baron Jamil Blavicko, I have been summoned by the Commander!”

“Blavicko. What a disappointment you are, a decent-looking man. You talked badly about Captain Velatos to the knights, and even encouraged them to rebel. Why did you do that? Did you have some grudge against Baron Nelson?”

“Oh! I think there’s a misunderstanding. I never said that.”

Baron Blavico vehemently denied the allegation.

It was a sin, but hearing the list of crimes the commander had listed made me feel so ashamed that I couldn’t admit it.

“The adjutant and the rider clearly stated that it was your order. Isn’t that right?”

Commander Lagoa turned his gaze to Adjutant Golan and his rider Duke.

The two people answered loudly, startled as if they had been hit by a magic gun.

“That’s right! Baron Blavico told me to do so!”

“Baron Blaviko! Please tell me something! Didn’t the Baron tell you not to follow the company commander’s orders? People like the company commander should be made to leave on their own!”

Then Baron Blaviko did not back down and raised his voice.

“When did I say such a thing! Don’t kill living people! I have listened to your grievances, but I have never given you any orders! You are not even my men, so why should I tell you what to do? Commander! This is a slander! Someone who holds a grudge about the military supply distribution must have instigated them to frame me!”

Elio said, picking his ear with an annoyed expression.

“Other people tend to drag out the investigation in cases like this. Then, when the parties involved die, the case is swept under the rug.”

The adjutant, the horseman, and Baron Blavico looked at Count Lagoa’s mouth with anxious faces.

As Elio continued speaking, Baron Blavico’s face hardened.

“But you know, I’m a magician. I’ve used mental magic many times in the Empire, and it’s been very effective. If you use mental magic, you might end up being an idiot as a side effect, but what can I do? Since we’re looking for someone who deserves to die anyway, I have to take that risk. Right?”

In fact, Elio’s speech, unlike mental magic, has no aftereffects.

But annoyingly, he didn’t even explain that.

For a moment, the three people looked at each other in surprise.

The first to explode was Adjutant Golan.

“Baron! What are you doing! Why aren’t you telling the truth?”

Duke, the 1st Platoon rider, also added his own words.

“Are you planning to kill us? The Baron ordered you to do it!”

“… … .”

When the topic of mental magic came up, Baron Blavico kept his mouth shut like a mute who had eaten honey.

If Commander Lagoa’s words are true, his actions will soon be revealed to the world.

Even more terrifying than that was the fear of the aftereffects of mental magic.

People were afraid of wizards.

Because they use all kinds of mental magic without any hesitation.

Nine out of ten crazy people you meet on the street are a side effect of psychic magic.

For that reason, the mental magic of wizards is strictly regulated by law.

But in an exhibition, if the commander wants to do it, who can stop him?

Elio stared at Baron Blavico.

Just by looking at the atmosphere of the three people, it was clear that he was lying.

Elio added a word to Baron Blavico, who was in a state of extreme conflict.

“I’ll use the mental spell on the Baron. Because the Baron is alone, and there are two of them. I can find out the truth with just one use, so there’s no need to use it multiple times. What do you think, Baron?”

Baron Blavico, who had been holding out, knelt down beside his adjutant and rider.

“Commander! Forgive me! I think I was momentarily mad! But it was not because of ill will toward Baron Nelson. That is the truth!”

“So what those two knights said is true?”

“……yes.”

“You spread false rumors about Baron Nelson and told your adjutant and rider to disobey? And you have no ill feelings? Are you crazy?”

“… … .”

“This is the same as stabbing someone to death with a sword and then saying you have no ill feelings towards them. Baron? I have no ill feelings towards you either. So even if you die by my hand, don’t blame me.”

“Are you going to kill me?”

Baron Blavico, cornered, looked up at Commander Lagoa with poisonous eyes.

Elio answered in a nonchalant tone.

“It’s not like I can’t kill you. Do you think there are more than one or two nobles who died by my hand?”

“No, Commander, you cannot kill me. You must not kill me.”

“Why?”

Elio showed some interest as Baron Blavico came out confidently.

I wanted to know why he was so confident even when he was killing.

“I am just a lowly person like Golan or Duke. What I am saying is that it was not done of my own free will.”

“I hear there’s someone who ordered you to do that. Is that right?”

“you’re right.”

“Is there a law that says you can’t kill a servant even if they do something evil?”

“That, that’s not what I meant… … .”

Baron Blaviko stuttered in embarrassment.

He believed that if he knew who had given him the orders, he would not be able to kill him.

However, Commander Lagoa only took issue with the act itself and showed little interest in the higher-ups.

‘Are you… … going to sort this out on my own?’

I didn’t know Commander Lagoa would be that political.

If Commander Lagoa really wanted to end things by cutting off the tail, he would die with a dirty name.

After thinking that far, he shouted in a hurry.

“The one who ordered me to do this was Viscount Cotton Bernardo, the chief of staff of the Unicorn Corps! Viscount Cotton Bernardo did it for the Marquis Charles Bernardo!”

As soon as the name of the Marquis Charles Bernardo came out of Baron Blavico’s mouth, the knights hastily dispersed their soldiers.

Because the matter was so serious, Elio even made the knights step aside.

Only Elio, Baron Nelson, and three sinners remain on the snowfield.

The knights stood at a distance, controlling the soldiers so that they would not come near the commander’s party.

Elio looked down at Baron Blavico with puzzled eyes.

Ninety percent of the Western Army was under the command of the Marquis Charles Bernardo.

In short, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the Marquis Charles Bernardo was the Western Army itself.

Moreover, although he became the commander of the Western Army by force, the Marquis Charles Bernard was superior in title.

I was shocked that such a person was behind this ugly conspiracy.

Elio asked, shaking his head.

“What do you mean you did that for the Marquis?”

Baron Blavico answered, watching Baron Nelson’s expression.

“The Marquis wants Baron Nelson to be transferred to the staff of the Unicorns. I heard that the Marquis himself proposed it, but Baron Nelson declined. The Viscount wanted Baron Nelson to resign from the Bellatos Company on his own… … That’s why he persuaded his adjutant and flag bearer to rebel. All of this is ultimately for Baron Nelson’s benefit. A Unicorn staff officer is a hundred times better than a Bellatos Company captain.”

Elio turned to Baron Ashley Nelson.

“Is this true?”

“Yes, I declined the offer to become the Marquis’s aide. Looking back, I think it was a good decision.”

At that moment, Baron Blavico said with a look of absurdity on his face.

“Baron Nelson, objectively speaking, the Marquis’ staff is much better than the front-line company commander. Why are you saying such things? Why would you lie in front of the commander?”

“Objectively? Baron Blavico, if you have a conscience, tell me the truth. Do you think of me as a woman and want to keep me by your side? Do you think of me as an aide and want to keep me by your side?”

“Isn’t there a need to think about it so separately? It’s the dream of every noble to have a beautiful staff member by your side. Isn’t that wrong?”

Even in front of an angry Baron Nelson, Baron Blavicko did not waver in his assertion.

“Don’t make such disgusting jokes. I am a soldier, not the Marquis’s woman. It is nobles like you who are making the army sick!”

“Look here. Isn’t it good to be good? Why do you live so aggressively, showing your teeth everywhere?”

As Baron Nelson trembled at the shameless words of Baron Blaviko, Elio stepped forward.

“Hey, Baron Blavico. Think about the dirty things you’ve done. Would you want to be the staff member of the person who ordered such things? Huh? Haa! Bad guys always try to teach their opponents a lesson by putting on an iron face when you say nice things to them.”

As the murderous look flashed in Count Lagoa’s eyes, Baron Blavico quickly lowered his stiffly raised head.

“Commander! As you know, the Marquis is the one who planned all this! I was simply following my superior’s orders!”

“If you were a knight, you would disobey your superiors when they give you orders that go against chivalry, you punk! Don’t teach your conscientious captain to do something as bad as disobeying them!”

Elio kicked Baron Blavico hard with his horse.
