214 Episode 22 Dirty Flag (1/2)

”Kassandra, is there something you are ...... making a big mistake about?

said Hercule in an exaggerated manner.

Everyone gulped and waited for Hercule's next words.

”The way you say it, it sounds as if I'm trying to kill you and your children.

”......

This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.

It's not only Kassandra, but also Sonia and everyone else in the room, who did not understand.

The only crime you have committed is disobeying ...... my order to appear before me. Well, disobeying a royal order is a serious crime. The death penalty is appropriate. But I don't think that crime should be extended to children.

Certainly, legally speaking, Kassandra is guilty of nothing more than disobeying the king's order.

It can't be a crime to have a child with the previous king.

”And disobeying the king's order is not without its extenuating circumstances. You were pregnant and recuperating in a monastery. You were pregnant and recuperating in a monastery in the countryside,......, where the king's orders could not reach you.

In fact, Kassandra was hiding in a monastery in the middle of nowhere, where it would take months to find him.

In fact, Kassandra was hiding in a rural monastery that took months to find.

If so,......, the death penalty would be too severe. By Lemurian law, Messianic law, the Warbeast, and ...... any other law, it should not be punishable by death.

If I tell you this much: ......

I know what Hercule is trying to say, unless he's too dumb to see it.

Hercule is trying to save the lives of Kassandra and her child.

Kassandra patted her chest, relieved.

But at the same time, she thought.

Would the famously cruel emperor of Lemuria be so generous with his punishment?

As if to answer the inner thoughts of Kassandra, ......

I'm not sure what to say.

”Oops, ...... I forgot one of your grave sins.

The air froze again.

The air froze again. Kassandra's expression tightened.

”Rumor has it that ...... you've been living a very lascivious life.

”Lewd life?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

It is true that being the mistress of King Hilderic II is not a good position in the Messianic religion, but why does Hercule bother to point this out?

”Oh, yes. I've heard that she had s*xual intercourse with various, unspecified (・・・・・) men. I've heard that you've had s*x with various unspecified (・・・・・) men, and that you don't even know (・・・・・) who the father of your child is.

Kassandra felt the blood rush to her head.

The man in front of him now had disgraced ...... himself, his child, and his late lover.

”That's it!

Kassandra shouted without thinking.

And ...... quickly cooled down.

The blood drained from his veins and his face turned pale.

What's wrong with that?　Is ...... there something wrong with the facts?

”.......

Kassandra shook her head from side to side, weakly.

”No, no ...... errors, no. It is true that I have had s*xual intercourse with many different men and led a promiscuous life. I don't even know ...... who the father of my child is.

”No, thank you.

Hercule nodded in satisfaction.

Kassandra admitted to herself that her child was not the son of Hilderic II.

Then the child is not Hilderick II's child.

Therefore, there is no need for Hercule to kill him.

All that was left was to fabricate a story and spread the word about how Kassandra was an evil, lecherous, and immoral woman.

No one will want to use a flag that has been defiled so badly.

(And while we're at it, let's put all of Hilderic II's evil policies on her.

Thinking about this, Hercule passed judgment.

I'll take care of the child.　I'll take care of the child.

It's .......

Is there a problem?

I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

No, there is no ...... problem. Yes, I think it would be better for the ...... child.

Good. I'll ...... find you a suitable monastery somewhere. There you will be able to reflect.

Yes, sir. ......

The frustration of being disgraced.

Or the grief of having your child taken from you.

Or is it ...... joy that her child's life has been spared?

Kassandra nodded, tears in her eyes.

”That ...... Emperor!

When the various processes concerning Kassandra are over and you and Hercule are popular,......

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

You're not happy. You are saying that the punishment for Kassandra is too lenient?

”...... Yes.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

That woman's child is dangerous!　And so is she. We must kill her!

”Because she is of the blood of Hilderic II?
