The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 128



Only Ran(o)vel dot com

“It’s highly likely that it’s the Duke of Calciard who started all this.”

The Duke answered in a low voice, as if sighing. I was able to hear from them a detailed account of what had happened while I was away.

Since the accident at the top of the tower, Calciard’s moves have been choking us and approaching us, and they were certainly not normal.

‘But why on earth did they do this to us… … . Could it be that the princess did this?’

Are you angry and resentful, having tried to cause an inappropriate scandal for me and ended up getting it done to you?

‘No, it’s too big a deal for a princess to plan. She may have been the instigator, but the real one who took the lead was probably Duke Calciad.’

My stomach was seething.

Treason is punishable by death without exception. It’s not enough to have imprisoned innocent people here, but they are trying to kill them en masse.

Deborah, holding my hand tightly, asked in an anxious voice.

“What do we do now?”

“There is still a chance. We will all be summoned together to an emergency court meeting, and we will have the opportunity to speak before His Majesty the Emperor.”

“When we get out of prison by asserting our innocence, we’ll have to prepare to fight back.”

Duke Diat’s eyes lit up as he followed the Duke’s words.

“If it’s a court meeting, Linus will attend too, so it’s not like we don’t have any supporters.”

Dane added, and I could sense that they were gritting their teeth.

In this situation, it might not have been that difficult to clear one’s name in front of the emperor.

A few hours later.

We were dragged by the knights with our hands tied and led to the conference hall.

Inside, the emperor, empress, crown prince, and other ministers were seated.

I glared at the Duke of Calciad, who was sitting close to the throne.

“Is it true that the Duke of Diart joined hands with heresy and prepared for treason?”

“No, Your Majesty.”

When the Emperor asked in a heavy voice, the Duke stepped forward and denied it.

“We were wronged from the start. Deborah had no reason to harm Princess Calciard, but the Calciards made her look guilty based on the testimony of just one fellow wizard.”

He continued in a calm, trustworthy voice that commanded people’s attention.

“Unable to overcome the pressure, I had no choice but to open the door to the mansion, and not only did they trample on our family, they framed me for a crime I didn’t even know I had committed.”

As soon as the Duke finished speaking, the Duke of Calciad jumped up from his seat and started swearing at us.

“Your Majesty, do not be fooled by the three-inch tongue of the Duke of Diat!”

He snapped, his teeth chattering as if he was looking at a very shameless person.

“How shameless, Duke! Do you know how many heretical items came out of Duke Diat’s mansion? And they were all hidden away in secret places so that they couldn’t be easily found!”

“But you did a great job finding it. If someone saw it, it would be like I was always begging you to find it.”

The Duke responded with a sneer. But the truly shameless Duke of Calciard didn’t even blink.

“Huh, I’ve already arrested heretics and made achievements, so I’m good at this kind of thing!”

I felt that it would be disadvantageous for the Duke to continue to fight Calciad alone, so I opened my mouth to the Emperor in order to complete the mission.

“Your Majesty, we are truly innocent. In the first place, my maternal aunt, the Duchess of Diat, was killed by a possessed magician. How could we conspire with heretics and plot a rebellion?”

We bowed our heads politely and expressed our grievances.

“If the imperial family investigates directly, they will definitely find something strange. Please do not trust only the Duke of Calciard, and acknowledge our innocence.”

“Oh my! I conducted an investigation under the orders of His Majesty the Emperor, and yet Diat suspects not only me but also His Majesty and makes a fool of me! Can you really say that I am not a traitor after all?!”

Duke Calciad exaggerated my words as he shouted at me like lightning.

As expected, a duke is a duke, so he is not easy to deal with. He was a much more difficult person than my own daughter.

“When did I dare to doubt Your Majesty the Emperor? I raised my suspicions to the Duke, but the Duke, considering himself and Your Majesty as one, got angry. Wouldn’t it be better for you to harbor such insolence?”

However, as he calmly counterattacked without giving up, Duke Calciard’s face crumpled like a piece of paper.

“Huh! Young Lady, you can’t tell where to put your things and where not to put your things!”

“I’m sorry, but you’re not a young lady, you’re a young count. Does that mean you deserve to be here? You were even wrongly arrested as a traitor.”

“I, I… … !”

It was the empress who stopped him from going wild because he was being constantly refuted by someone as young as his daughter.

“stop.”

The Empress continued, raising her hand and speaking in a majestic voice.

“Duke Calciard, please be careful. You look too excited.”

“Ahem! Excuse me, Your Majesty the Empress.”

Duke Calciad, who came to his senses in an instant, bowed his head and stepped back.

Is it because I hate him now that his appearance seems quite simple?

“It seems like you don’t believe the evidence I found at Diat. How about calling the witness and hearing what he has to say?”

“Do so.”

The Emperor readily accepted Duke Calciad’s request.

What kind of witness is this?

Aren’t you going to hire actors and stage a show? We’ve never even met, but we’re acting like we met and acted like we did?

As I was worrying about such things, I was soon startled when I saw the person who came forward as a witness.

The Duke’s family also looked shocked when they saw her, as if they had been hit in the back of the head.

“No, how… … .”

“Why are you… … .”

The person that the Duke of Calciard brought forward as a witness was none other than Emma.

Emma, ​​the maid of the Duke of Diat.

We watched in fascination as she walked towards the Emperor, avoiding eye contact.

“I swear before Your Majesty the Emperor and Your Majesty the Empress that I will tell the truth without any lies.”

As Emma finished her oath, the Duke of Calciad questioned her.

“Okay, good. I understand you’ve been working for the Duke of Diat for over thirty years. You must be very familiar with the internal workings.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Did the Duke of Diat believe in heresy?”

Say no, Emma. You know it’s not!

We begged her earnestly, but in the end she let us down.

“The master, who could not accept the death of his wife, tried to revive her by borrowing the power of the devil. From then on, he secretly showed signs of becoming a heretic.”

Naturally, the Duke looked as if he had never heard anything like Emma’s testimony before.

At that moment, Deborah, who had been staring blankly at Emma, ​​ran towards her and shouted.

“Emma! Why are you lying?! When did my dad ever do that?! Why are you lying!”

The knights hurried to catch her. Emma didn’t look at us until the end.

Even Deborah, who he had raised like a daughter after the Duchess passed away.

“Diat’s maid confessed these facts voluntarily before a full-scale interrogation could be conducted.”

The Duke of Calciard waved Emma away and said with a bitter smile of victory.

“Your Majesty! I have brought forth evidence and witnesses to reveal the guilt of Diat. But they only show their petty tongues, trying to deceive the people here and struggle to escape!”

“Certainly, if you look at it this way, the weight is on the Duke of Calciard’s side.”

The Emperor nodded and announced solemnly to us.

“Imprison the Duke of Diat and Count Charophé for attempted murder of Princess Calciard and treason.”

“… … !”

In the end, he was unable to clear his name in front of the Emperor, so he desperately looked for someone to help him, and his eyes met with the Crown Prince’s.

‘Your Majesty, please help me!’

The crown prince flinched at my earnest gaze, then moved his lips as if he was going to say something.

No, hey, you punk! If I give you a boyfriend, shouldn’t you help me?!

There was still a mountain of things I wanted to say, but I was caught by the knights and dragged back to the dungeon and thrown in.

And I failed my first mission.

– Tiring!

【Mission failed!

Penalties will apply from now on.

Penalty: Actions are restricted until the death sentence is carried out, and the male protagonist’s strategy is temporarily suspended.】

X. I shut my eyes tightly.

Why did I fail the mission when the penalty was the strongest?

Everything before my eyes was dark.

Am I really going to die like this…?

The next day, news of the Duke of Diat and Shailene spread throughout the empire.

“What nonsense is this?”

And the only one who wasn’t caught was Karl, who was reading the newspaper and chewing on the curses.
