Since I had been allowed to leave, I didn't waste any time and headed out the next day. The past period of time had been rather stressful for me with everything that had happened, so I certainly could use some time to rest and relax. That was why I was quite happy when we were heading back to my territory. Right, we… It wasn't just Cecilia and the others who came with me, but also Angela who was going back with me. It seemed like this was the fourth prince's way of making it up to her. So all…

When the trials were over, there was only one thing that was left. The executions. Most of these trials had ended in the verdict of a death sentence, so naturally these needed to be executed. The fourth prince decided to hold these as public executions since he wanted the public to see the fates of these corrupt nobles and criminals. There were many people in the crowd who cursed these people and threw things. It was clear that they had suffered in some way because of these people being…

The reason why the fourth prince was so angry after reading this was… These people didn't have a real reason for saving Duke Yuletide. These people were nothing more than people who had wanted to seize this opportunity to gain more power and to gain favour with Duke Yuletide, which was why they thought that they could take this risk and try to save him. In truth, they were nothing more than idiots who thought that they could take advantage of this situation. They were idiots who had nothing but…

Other than the problem with that one trial, the rest of the trials went as planned. These were nobles of their kingdom, so it wasn't as if there was anything that they could hide. The fourth prince found everything there was to find about these nobles in the first place, so it wasn't as if there was anywhere for them to run or anything for them to hide. So there were no surprises that came during the trial like with the Snake Syndicate trial. All of the nobles were sentenced properly. They were…

The trial ended as one would expect. All of the members of the Snake Syndicate received the death sentence for their crimes. From the very beginning, the fourth prince hadn't been planning on letting any of them live. The only reason that he went through with this sham of a trial was because he wanted to show the people of the kingdom that he would not tolerate criminals like this. He wanted to use this trial as a message for all those that were still out there that there was someone to protect…

The fourth prince looked like he wasn't happy with this response, but he didn't say anything in the end. I also didn't say a word since there really wasn't any information that I could give him even if I wanted to. The game didn't give me any information on this, so there wasn't anything that I could tell him. In the end, the fourth prince just gave a simple nod before saying, "Then what should we do about him?" I knitted my brows in thought for a bit before saying, "Well, there is one thing that…

There was only silence that followed after Viper said this. I could see the brows of the fourth prince beside me knitting as he stared at Viper, but I could understand why he was acting this way. It was completely because of what Viper had just said. The Tide Empire that he mentioned was just that meaningful. There were many kingdoms on the continent, but there were only a total of four empires that were out there. The reason for that was because there were only four countries that had the power…

It took two days for all the minor trials to be taken care of, a day longer than what the fourth prince had planned. But that was just because there was too much corruption in the kingdom. Though by the old standards, it wouldn't be considered corruption. It was only considered this because of the new laws that the fourth prince had passed in the past few years. It could even be said that he had been preparing for this for a long time. When these minor trials were over, on the third day, it was…

The first day of the trials, the stands were completely filled with people. In order to make sure as many people could watch the trials as possible, the fourth prince had decided to hold the trials in the square of the capital. This was the largest square in the entire kingdom and could fit over ten thousand people. But even then, there were many who couldn't get into the square since it had been completely filled. Of course, it wasn't as if the square was emptied so people could come in. Half of…

Since the fourth prince had already achieved everything that he wanted, there was no longer a reason for us to remain in Vayne City anymore. The next day, we were already heading back to the capital. With the way that he was going, it almost seemed like he was in a rush to go back. When we reached the capital, I understood why. There were many different criminals that were being escorted to the capital from all over when we arrived. It didn't seem like there would be an end to it as more and more…
