Chapter 9
Editor: Chaz
It’s been seven days since Earl Bergstone has disappeared
A lone carriage protected by knights wearing luxurious arate
The group was bearing Rozeria royal coat of arms and no one was surprised as to their appearance here
Not only the Epiroz citizenry but all residents of the northern Rozeria Kingdo that they were not on the verge of another war
“I see… A letter of su huh?”
While having their ether, Lione read the letter that had just arrived
It ritten on a piece of high-quality white paper that was smooth and comfortable to the touch
(This thing… I guess one piece would cost around one silver coin? Despite having no different use than regular parchuess, it also indicates the importance of the sender, huh?)
It was quite unusual to see such high-quality paper in this world where the use of parchment was much more common
In fact, parchment was already considered a luxury
Depending on the location and economic situation, some even used thin wooden planks rather than parchment
It’s cost h-quality paper on a daily basis unless the person had tremendous wealth and power
“But, there’s no charges written on this letter…”
Bolts who peeped over Lione’s shoulder tilted his head
The only thingwritten there was a date and time to appear in front of the House of Lords
There were no charges written where such things should be
Despite having the seal, it looks doubtful that this letter had coanization of upper echelon families
“Let’s see… It is rare for me to see this kind of document with such lack of detail, but it also makes sense that they want to su to be an assassination or so?”
When Bolts pointed that out, Lione nodded her head slightly
As a mercenary, Lione had undertaken various requests
She had experience patrolling the territory of aristocrats or being an aristocrat’s guard during any conspiracy
Even if she had such experience with conspiracy theories, she was still unfaal system
Lione’s memory related to this kind of docu her parents to pay the taxes during her childhood
What she res written on the warrant but the dirty face of the tax collector and her parents’ agony
In the end, Lione and her fa in for many yearsThey decided to leave their homeland and Lione chose the path of a mercenary
In the end, Lione and her fa in for many yearsThey decided to leave their homeland and Lione chose the path of a mercenary
Since then, Lione had settled in al systeistered herself as a citizen
However, Signiz Garbera opened hisLione
“That is because the summon this time is for him to appear in court as a witness”
Bolts tilted his head in response to those words
“Does thatto accuse histone previously, the House of Lords had regarded young h?”
Asking someone to appear as a witness in court was different than asking someone to stand trial
Co the two, anyone could see which was the better option
However, in response to such a question from Bolts, Roberto Bertrand shook his head
“Don’t hThere’s no way that is the case, is there?”
Hearing that words, Bolts shrugged his shoulders
It was because Bolts himself understood what he said was basically impossible
That was because Mikoshi+ba Ryou and took the entire northern Rozeria kingdom under his rule
In fact, excluding Garbera and Bertrand household where Signiz and Roberto belonged to, nearly half of the ten northern nobles household had disappeared from this world
It can be said it was extremely unusual for that to happen on this continent, especially considering the as only being regarded as a small skirmish between two local lords
“Just like Roberto said, there’s no way a nobleo untouched… Furthers like blood tiesOn the contrary, for theinThere are no aristocrats ould keep silent while their relatives are getting killed by such a personNo matter how much of a coward they are…”
(Did they hate the aristocrats that ht that crossed everyone’s mind
Signiz and Roberto words could be considered polite, however their words sounded like a curse
Well, it may be norht on the front line while those aristocrats stood back enjoying their luxurious life
“Whichmaster to the capital?”
“Just like Bolts-dono said, that possibility is quite highSince they need to also consider if our Lord is being suht respond with armed forceIf that happens, it won’t end with just skirmishes between local lords anymoreWhich I’m sure Queen Lupis doesn’t want that to happenAlso…”
Up to that point, Signiz then directed his gaze at his new an
“Summon me as a witness, then execute me an offender, is it?”
“Most likely…”
Towards Ryouniz slowly nodded his head
Speaking of the House of Lords, it was an organization that combines courthouse and prosecutors
Speaking of the House of Lords, it was an organization that combines courthouse and prosecutors
In other words, it could be said as the apex of judicial authority within the Rozeria Kingdom
The only one who could overrule their judgdom
Which in turn, made this judicial system unfair
If he went to such a place, Mikoshi+ba Ryou allowed a defense
However, contrary to this serious situation, Ryouniz didn’t show any anxiety
