The prosecutor didn't care at all about the questioning gaze that General Gardner had as he pulled out something from the stack of papers that he brought. It was a single piece of paper, but he held it in front of himself as he started reading what was on it. It was a list, a list of all the crimes that General Gardner had committed. General Gardner had a calm look on his face at first, but that expression slowly started to change when he heard what the prosecutor was saying. The crimes that were…

General Gardner's eyes immediately fell onto this group as soon as they came in. As expected, he didn't recognize a single person in that group. No, there were two that he recognized. It would be impossible for him to not recognize these two since they had been deeply ingrained in his memories as the ones that had captured him. It was Duke Zwein and the fourth prince. After this real jury came in, they sat where the fake jury had sat before and didn't say a thing as if they were waiting for…

The king had been sitting there silently the entire time, as if he wasn't bothered by anything that they were saying. But now that the defense attorney had directly appealed to the king, it wasn't as if he could remain silent anymore. The king looked at the defense attorney and said, "Then can you prove that what he did was not treason and was actually for the good of our kingdom?" The defense attorney was taken aback when he heard this since he clearly didn't expect this. After all, no matter how…

After General Gardner was brought in, there were many voices that started talking. Though the ones that could attend this trial were all those with status, that didn't stop them from gossiping about this. In the end, humans love gossip like this. As for what they gossiped about... "Do you know what this trial is about?" "I heard that it was on the count of treason, but wasn't General Gardner on the front lines defending our kingdom?" "Right, I just can't imagine someone like him betraying our…

Once General Gardner was taken in, we didn't have any business with the rest of his family. He was the only one that we were after in the first place, so he would be the only one that we would take in. Though after what happened next, it would be hard to say that we wouldn't have anything for his family. It was just that we couldn't touch his family or his fortunes until the next part came. When we came back, we didn't hide ourselves as much as we did when we went to capture General Gardner. In…

I set out with the fourth prince early the next morning. We went to a certain part of the city which I didn't recognize, but when we arrived, I realized what we were here for. This was the place where the fourth prince had put his troops in the capital. This place was a full training camp that was dedicated to training troops that were under him. I had never seen this place before in the game, but I did know that there was a place like this in the capital. After all, when the coup happened, the…

686 It seems like I need to be careful The meeting with the king actually took the entire day since there were many things that had to be discussed. When it was over, it was already dark, so we all had dinner together. After dinner, I went off to my room and settled for the night. I thought that I would be able to get some time alone, but that wasn't the case. I heard some noise coming from outside my room, so I went to check it. I found that there was a cloaked figure who was standing there with…

After a moment of silence, Angela suddenly stood up and ran over to punch the king in the chest. Though she punched him, she didn't actually use any force with that punch, so it was more of a playful punch than an actual punch. The king didn't show any signs of being in pain after being punched by Angela and just looked at her with a smile. After punching the king in the chest, Angela said, "This is our business, this isn't something that you need to concern yourself with. How could you even think…

It seemed that the people from last night had spread what they had seen as rumours and those rumours had already spread all over the castle. The men looked at me and looked back at themselves as if they were comparing something. After looking at me for a bit, most of them turned away as if they were embarrassed. There were only a few of them that still looked at me after seemingly comparing us in their heads. The women looked at me with intrigued looks, but a few of them also turned away with…

It was late when we returned to the castle. I knew that it was late already because of how dark it was outside, but I didn't expect it to be this late. It was already close to midnight according to the clock in my room when I returned to the castle. I had thought that the king would summon me, but it seemed like he was letting me get some rest first before that. I was grateful since even though I had been sleeping before, it wasn't the good kind of sleep. My head was still aching, which I assumed…
