Soon, Rhode received his answer
“But, before that, I hope that Your Highness Lydia can explain why the seal of the Duke Fiend that the Munn Kingdo was unlocked? Further into Soraka Mountain?! Why would he unlock the seal of the Duke Fiend with the Supervisor?!”
So that hy!
Rhode finally understood why the Parliah their recount was fabricated, there would always be a hole that Lydia couldn’t avoid falling into, and that was the necessity to explain to the parliament the reason why the Duke Fiend’s seal was removed It was apparent that the Parliament must’ve heard about the situation and revised the truth This way, as long as someone criticized that this incident was caused by a human, Lydia couldn’t blame an accident to lessen her responsibility The Parliaive Lydia any room to retreat
But it was a pity that Rhode wasn’t a pushover
“Please hold on,” Rhode said with a s But… I have an entirely different opinion about Mr Alanic’s recount”
“What…!” MP Danny glared at Rhode and shouted furiously “You are openly doubting the judg the reputation of the Parliahts of soing on to his own viewpoint,” Rhode swept hilance and responded instantly The entire hall fell into absolute silence as though an ice-cold breeze had frozen everyone to the spot
The nobles widened their eyes in disbelief as they had never seen anyone behave so disrespectfully towards the Parliah the relationshi+p between the Munn Kingdoht’s Parliament had reached a point where their conflicts couldn’t be defused, the nobles of the Munn Kingdorumble privately noman who had just been conferred a feudal rank actually dared to give them a hard time in front of everyone!
MP Danny’s exasperated voice broke the silence in the entire hall “Y-You are provoking and hu us! I want to raise a protest! Protest!”
“Please be quiet, Mr Envoy,” Lydia’s words showed that she had no intentions of correcting Rhode’s behavior “This is a sacred and fair venue We have the rights to listen attentively to the statements of everyone Since you’ve spoken your part about the truth that the Country of Light’s Parliaht for us to hear the words of the accused?”
“T-This…” MP Danny hesitated Lydia didn’t deny that thisto do with Rhode Instead, since the Parliament had said that Rhode was related to this matter, they would naturally hear Rhode’s narration on the matter
MP Danny was also aware of this, which hy he calhness Lydia But I don’t think that a cri that is worth our time”
“We shall know after we hear it from him,” Lydia nodded at Rhode while Rhode stepped forward swiftly and bowed respectfully
“Like Mr Alanic, I a to swear by the honor ofI say will be the truth But before that… I hope to receive Your Highness Lydia’s approval because my statement may implicate some classified o ahead,” Lydia granted her perhness” The nobles sat straight and prepared to listen attentively After all, Rhode declared that there ht be some classified ossip and Rhode’s solemn behavior had earned him a few points of trust frouild received a special order frohness Lydia” Rhode spoke after he had captured everyone’s attention “At that moment, there was some trouble in Soraka Mountain and the Chairman of Soraka Mountain’s Parliament had been attacked by sohness Lydia are of the situation, but due to the unusual nature of Soraka Mountain, she wasn’t able to dispatch a proper arht to enter Soraka Mountain and rescue the Chairman”
Many of the nobles nodded After all, they were clear about the rules and position of the Munn Kingdouild since she couldn’t dispatch an army due to the unusual nature of Soraka Mountain
“… I shall not recount the minor details of the process In the end, we rescued the Chairman and successfully escorted hi… This point was also iterated by Mr Alanic,” Rhode paused before sht, Mr Alanic? The Chair in Soraka Mountain, right?”
“T-That’s…” Zieg was somewhat bewildered as he had never expected that Rhode would ask hireement since he couldn’t s his words back into his throat “Right, the Chair But eren’t aware that he was…”
“I only asked for your confir finished his sentence, Rhode interruptedhis speech “But we are also clear that the attack targeting the Chairht the help of the Supervisor and for the peace of Soraka Mountain, Mada for the culprit who attacked the Chairman But at thatthe Chair actually turned to attack the sacred grounds instead while the Supervisor was occupied during theHowever, eren’t aware of the rounds to awaken the Duke Fiend by force”
Rhode’s expression sulked slightly “Although Madarounds on time and annihilated the culprits, the unlocked seal was irreversible In order to stop the Duke Fiend fro the continent even further, Madam Supervisor had to sacrifice her life to defeat the sinister Devil while I escaped Soraka Mountain with the reed to lure the Duke Fiend away and eliminate it successfully…”
“A load of crap!” MP Danny interrupted angrily before Rhode finished his sentence He glared at Rhode idened eyes “You cunning crih, it will never re nonsense! This isn’t the truth at all! Besides, you rounds and removed the seal Why don’t you tell me who exactly that force was?”
“As for this question… Are you sure you want to hear the answer, MP Danny?” Rhode questioned with a curious tone
“Of course, do you dare to tell us? In front of so many people? I do want to knohich force dares to do so this presumptuous in Soraka Mountain,” Danny revealed a proud s at Rhode slyly It was apparent that he thought that Rhode didn’t have any information about them However, Rhode didn’t need it in the first place “Can you tell us?”
“Of course” Rhode patted and tidied his clothes before reaching into the fold of his clothes and retrieved a brass badge “I got this froold and carved with two dragon wings…” Rhode turned around and faced the ashen diplos to the Country of Light’s Parliament Doesn’t it, MP Danny?”
