Chapter 142 (1/2)
Chapter 142
Proofreader: somnium
The next day, before sunrise, everything turned upside down.
First of all, the Guards appeared fully armed. Some joined the Knights of Evron and besieged the temple, while others took control of the environments of the capital.
Martial law was imposed and all traffic in and out the capital was controlled. Entry is completely forbidden.
The Central Army lit up lights everywhere, indicating that it was ready to move at any time.
The Emperor’s army did not hide what was going on.
The word ‘attempts to kill the imperial family’ and ‘treason’ spread across the capital in an instant.
Even before the sun came to the center of the sky, there was no one in the capital who did not know about it.
“Attemped murder on the imperial family? Who even rushed in to kill Lawrence?”

“Did you not see the paper today? Grand Duchess Evron almost had a miscarriage.”
“Huh.”
“It seems that Bishop Akim made her knelt on the cold stone floor for hours to confess her mother’s sins.”
“A pregnant woman?”
“I guess so. It is said that from the beginning, the Evron Grand Duchy was opposed to the Grand Duchess going to the temple.”
“I guess so. She’s pregnant. Besides, isn’t there only one descendant of the Evron Grand Duchy now, His Grace?”
“Still, the mother, whom she cut off ties with, is still her mother, and as Marchioness of Rosan, she was detained after going to the temple to cooperate and take responsibility for the Rosan mansion.”
“Hey, do you believe that? Anyway, it’s Grand Duchess Evron.”
“And how could the fair Bishop Akim have done that?”

“Uh-huh, I don’t know. My nephew went to the temple yesterday, and the bishop prevented the Knights of Evron from visiting the Grand Duchess, so it must have been a big fight.”
This kind of story was whispered.
“But when did Grand Duke Evron return?”
“Yesterday.”
“Then is the war over in the north?”
“I don’t know. I’ve never heard of such a story. But that must have been resolved, so he returned?”
“He may have come due to the news about the Dowager Marchioness Rosan. Did you forget what happened when the Grand Duchess was about to marry?”
Last year’s events were repeated again. Cedric’s involvement in the trafficking of Baron Yetz was also told.
“Will Grand Duke Evron be involved again this time?”

“Can I trust Grand Duke Evron? He handled it fairly last time, but this time his wife and child are at stake, as you can see from the fact that he brought up the charge of treason.”
“They almost killed the imperial family, so it’s treason.”
“Is he going to let Miraila go like this? Considering Grand Duke Evron, would he still be able to do it harshly? No matter how bad the relationship is, she’s his mother-in-law.”
“Hey, would Grand Duke Evron just let her go?”
“There’s a saying about consideration, right?”
“Anyway, just wait. I’m sure there’s an answer. If it’s Grand Duke Evron, he surely would answer to this.”
People’s opinions were all divided.
In fact, the content that every newspaper frantically printed that morning contained the works of Hayley and Freil.
Hayley wrote the article almost directly. Still, Freil was a bit dumbfounded himself.

Freil said.
“It’s not wrong. It’s all true that Her Grace went to cooperate when the vassals said that she didn’t have to do this, that they made her stay in the monk’s room, and that she was forced to kneel in the cold prayer room to repent when she was pregnant. Miss Hayley slept on the floor after all.”
“It would be a lie to say there was a miscarriage risk.”
“It’s not entirely a lie. A weak person like Her Grace passed out like that, and it is surprising that the baby was unharmed.”
“That’s true, too. Anyone who knows her well will be amazed.”
Hayley let out a deep sigh.
“At least, Her Majesty the Empress will be baffled.”
“Because I wrote only the facts and not about the mindset.”
Freil laughed.

Announcing the situation publicly like this would be something Artizea didn’t want very much.
But the case has already grown too big. The Central Army is on alert, and even the Guards are monitoring the capital without pauses.
Therefore, it was better to publicize why this happened and make it clear.
“It is better to overheat. We have to bring the atmosphere here all at once.”
“It wasn’t planned, but I knew it was a good opportunity.”
“Now we must defeat Bishop Akim and break the hands and feet of Grand Duke Roygar.”
Freil said firmly.
“If Her Grace had been awake, she would have done so.”
Hayley couldn’t deny that.

＊＊＊
The first public appearance of Brother Colton was on a forest road near the temple blocked by the Knights of Evron.
So it was as if he reached the temple as soon as he returned from the west. The reason he entered the residence of Grand Duke Evron was a complete secret.
In the temple, all the bishops of the capital had gathered and held meetings. Brother Colton went straight to the council of bishops.
“It has been many years since this old man decided to take off his embroidered belt and become feet that tread the earth instead of being glorious hands. However, I had a small relationship with Her Grace, Grand Duchess Evron, and I also spent quite a long time with her lady-in-waiting, so I came to say a word.”
He made eye contact with each of the bishops presented at the meeting and said so.
