The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 127

While Shailene stayed in the County of Charophe, Calciard gradually trapped Diat.
At first it was an accident.
At an event where the Magic Tower was announcing new magical tools and potions, one of the magical tools exploded.
The incident left Johanna badly injured, and the Duke of Calciard formally protested to the Tower.
It seems like someone did this on purpose to target the princess.
The magical tool that actually caused the explosion was found to have been intentionally damaged upon investigation.
The problem was that Deborah had created that magical tool.
“Why would I harm Princess Calciad? I have never done such a thing!”
Of course, Deborah denied the allegations outright. However, a fellow magician who worked with her gave unfavorable testimony.
“Actually, I’ve been saying bad things about Princess Calciad before. Even during the Queen Selection… … I feel like I kind of hate her? And the day before the event, Deborah suddenly volunteered to work overtime by herself, saying there was something that needed to be fixed on the magic tool.”
I was so upset that I was going crazy. I found something really strange, and I didn’t want to make my colleagues suffer, so I worked alone and left work at dawn.
I never dreamed that being considerate of others would come back to me like a boomerang.
The Duke of Diat stepped in to protect Deborah. If they made one mistake, they could have been arrested for attempted murder.
“There is no objective evidence that Deborah damaged the magic tool. Also, although she was not on friendly terms with Princess Calciard, she had no motive to harbor a grudge to the point of causing a terrorist attack.”
“So you’re saying that my daughter’s injury was just a coincidence? It’s been said that Diat and our Johanna have been in conflict a lot recently, so how can you be so shameless?”
“It’s not that we didn’t investigate. We looked into everything, but there’s no definitive proof that Deborah did it―”
“Oh, that’s okay! I don’t trust the research conducted by Diat!”
Howard Calciard almost covered his ears and responded with a grin.
Duke Benjamin of Diat, who immediately understood what he wanted, hesitated for a moment. He was worried that if he gave up the initiative too hastily, it would be disadvantageous for Deborah.
However, when Calciard’s side tried with all their might to shake the family, he eventually had to take a step back.
“If you are so suspicious, investigate it yourself at Calciad. We will gladly cooperate.”
This was possible because there was a strong belief that Deborah would never do such a thing.
Howard, seizing the opportunity, barged into the duke’s residence under the pretext of investigating.
And after searching the mansion thoroughly, we find no evidence that Deborah tried to kill Johanna… … .
“It’s heresy! The Duke of Diat has joined hands with heresy to plot treason!”
We found evidence of a strange rebellion.
For a Duke of Diat who was close to an atheist family, let alone a heretic, it was incredibly absurd.
Is it possible that he secretly prepared for treason by joining hands with heretics, even though he never harbored any rebellious intentions?
However, heretical items were coming out from all over the Duke of Diat’s house, and all the heretics that Calciard had captured were spouting out that they were in collusion with the Duke of Diat.
“This is ridiculous! Now that I look at it, Calciad is determined to make us drink water! The princess’s injuries must have been staged!”
“Please be careful with your words, Lord Diat.”
“How can we trust your investigation?!”
“Not only was this an investigation authorized by the Duke of Dyat, but after the evidence of treason emerged, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered me to thoroughly investigate the truth.”
This meant that everything Howard did was under the protection of the imperial order, so even the Duke of Diat could not do anything about it.
If you refuse or disobey the imperial command when you are suspected of treason, the suspicion will only deepen.
Around that time, I sent a letter to Shailene telling her not to come up to the capital and to stay in the county until things calmed down.
I just missed it.
The carriage carrying Shailene was running diligently towards Duke Diat’s residence in the capital without knowing anything.
This was because the investigation was conducted in utmost secrecy and no information was made known to the outside world.

Finally, I returned to the capital. For the first time in a long while, I opened the window and took a deep breath.
Hmm, is this the air in a big city?
I was excited at the thought of meeting the Duke’s family and the rest of the male protagonists whom I hadn’t seen while in the county.
“Please stop the carriage for a moment.”
“huh……?”
Karl, who had been looking outside intently, suddenly opened the door and ran out.
“I have some urgent business to attend to. You may go in first.”
“No, Karl—!”
I have to give you the bag I’m carrying on your shoulder…
I handed it over to him because he insisted on carrying it, but he must have forgotten that he was carrying it and took it away.
Unable to catch up with him as he disappeared at a rapid pace, I eventually set off again.
There are some belongings of my mother’s in the bag, but I’m sure I’ll be able to get the knife back safely without losing it, right?
The carriage that crossed the square gradually approached the duke’s residence. At some point, I noticed that Paul was staring intently in that direction and said,
“Thank you for coming all the way to the county seat because of me, Paul.”

“Oh, no, miss.”
“The Duke’s residence must have been your home to Paul. Did you miss it a lot?”
Paul answered with a kind smile.
“Honestly, I missed it. But now, something feels a bit… … .”
“why?”
“I’m a little worried. I haven’t been able to contact the Duke since last week. I’m worried that something might have happened.”
After hearing that, I realized that at some point I hadn’t received any letters from the Duke’s family.
I was so busy taking care of the land and doing missions that I didn’t feel that empty feeling, but now I’m wondering like Paul.
“So, what happened… … ?”
“It will be here soon, so why don’t you go and see for yourself?”
“That’s true. Let’s not worry too much in advance.”
Mandy nodded at Paul’s words and encouraged him. Then Paul’s expression softened a bit.
However, it was not the Duke’s family that greeted us when we arrived at the Duke’s residence.
“Everyone, put your hands up over your heads and get out of the carriage. I say it again: Put your hands up over your heads and get out of the carriage!”
Knights wearing armor emblazoned with the imperial emblem shouted forcefully.
We exchanged bewildered looks, then I took the lead and calmly raised my hand as I got out of the carriage.
“What the hell is this?”
“Are you Countess Shailene Charophé?”
“yes that’s right.”
I lifted my chin and opened my eyes wide. The man looked down at me and declared solemnly.
“I will arrest you on charges of conspiracy to commit treason.”
“……yes?”
What the hell is this?
“Wait a minute, I never participated in treason. Explain to me why you are doing this to me.”
When I demanded strongly, the knight sighed and blurted out shocking words.
“It has recently been revealed that the Duke of Diat’s family has conspired with heretics and is plotting treason. There is also testimony that the Count, who has been living here for nearly half a year, is also involved.”
“… … .”
This is such a comprehensive rant that I’m speechless.
Regardless, the knights subdued us one by one and dragged us away.
“ah!”
As I was roughly shoved into the carriage, a system window appeared before my eyes.

I haven’t even figured out exactly what happened yet, and now I’m being asked to explain my grievances to the Emperor in half a day!
If you can’t even do that, you’ll be put to death!
I was really going crazy and going crazy, but the world didn’t stop because I was going crazy and going crazy.
I thought to myself as I was dragged mercilessly into the Imperial Palace’s dungeon.
‘It’s fortunate that there is no knife in this place… ‘
If not, we would have been arrested together.
And then I was reunited with the Duke of Diat and his family in prison.
“Shailene! Are you okay? I told you not to come to the capital, why did you come?!”
When he saw the Diat ball being pushed into the prison, he came over with a startled expression and looked around his body.
I looked at their faces, all of them so hurt, and I started to cry.
“What son of a bitch framed us?”
