Chapter 1231
Episode 1231. What punishment do you think will be imposed on me?
It is not easy for the magistrate, Earl Horde Campps, who is nothing more than a sword expert, to counter Elio’s fierce momentum.
He didn’t move as if he had been hit directly by the dragon’s peer.
Count Damon Isaac, the commander of the knights of the Grand Duke of Knauf, gave him a light touch on his shoulder.
Only then did the magistrate, who was released from the rigidity, answer with a white face.
“Yes yes. I will bring Her Highness the Prince right away and get permission from Count Vegan!”
Then Count Damon Isaac corrected his mistake.
“The magistrate has switched back and forth. With His Highness’s permission, I’m bringing Count Vegan.”
“Oh, I see. I made a mistake because I was not in a hurry. Then let’s go out first.”
Panicked, the magistrate left without looking back.
Marshal Baron Gladys Chronore hurriedly followed him.
***
Aurea Castle of Prince Atensio Catis.
The escort knight knocked on the door of the bedroom where the king and queen were asleep.
I didn’t know it at first, but as the sound got louder and louder, even Prince Atensio Catis eventually woke up.
“Come in.”
After the King gave permission, the escort knight cautiously entered the bedroom.
The queen, who was still asleep, only tossed and turned slightly without opening her eyes.
“I’m waiting for your Highness the Chief Executive to come and say that I must meet with Your Highness.”
“Hmm…”
Prince Atensio Catis was irritated, but he changed his clothes and headed for the reception room attached to the bed.
reception room.
“What is it?”
As soon as Prince Atensio Catis saw the magistrate, he immediately got down to business.
Earl Hord Camps said with a bow of his head as if he was sorry.
“Do you remember the kidnapping of Count Elio Lagoa’s apprentice earlier this evening?”
“It was like that in the East Residential District, right? Has the culprit been caught?”
“Yes, it was the Blackjack Guild that operates in the Eastern Residential District.”
“I bet you didn’t come to me to tell me about that, so keep going.”
“The arrested Blackjack guild leader… confessed to doing it at the direction of Count Donal Vegan.”
“what? Why does Count Vegan’s name appear there?”
Prince Atensio Catis looked at the magistrate with a surprised face.
Earl Donal Vegan was the father-in-law of the Three Princes and was a prestigious nobleman in Ignas.
But he also kidnapped Count Elio Lagoa’s apprentice?
It was impossible to understand with the common sense of Prince Atensio Catis.
“Recently, the Red Valley mana stone mine owned by Count Vegan and the Coral Trading Company signed a mana stone supply contract. It is said that Count Vegan tried to persuade the mana stone appraiser to get a higher grade of the mana stone.”
“Does the magistrate think that what he said is true?”
“It is difficult to say for sure as the investigation has not yet progressed to the extent of determining the authenticity of the statement. However, Count Helio Lagoa found out about the fact… and is requesting an investigation by Count Vegan.”
“Could it be that Count Lagoa has been hunting criminals up until this time?”
“yes. The person who caught the kidnappers is also Count Lagoa.”
“You are quite passionate like a savage. So, why did you come to see me at this hour?”
“Count Lagoa wants to investigate Count Vegan.”
“ha! i get it. As soon as the sun rises tomorrow, I will call my advisor and discuss the matter.”
“Your Highness, not tomorrow… Count Lagoa wants an investigation to be done right now.”
Then Duke Atensio Catis asked with an absurd face.
“Did you say right now? You’re not the leader of the rebels, but are you saying to believe only the words of a criminal and arrest Count Vegan at this hour for investigation?”
“That’s right. I said, ‘I need your remembrance, so I’ll see you when the morning comes and talk to you’, but… the words didn’t work.”
“Damn it!”
At the moment, Prince Atensio Catis, who was ‘crying’, struck the table with his fist.
‘bang!’ The magistrate flinched at the sound.
“Fix the charge.”
“Fix it? Is that what you’re going to do by waking me up past midnight! You should have handled it somehow in respect! Don’t you know that waking me at this hour itself is an insult to me!”
“Sorry, Your Highness, the Count of Lagoa is not one to just step back and wait.”
“What if I don’t wait? I must say, what the count said!”
The voice of the excited Prince Atensio Catis grew higher and higher.
The magistrate, who had been listening silently, quickly spoke while the king took a moment to catch his breath.
“His Highness Sword Master, Count Damon Isaac, acted like a butler in front of him. You should consider him on the same level as Archduke Knauf.”
“…”
Prince Atensio Catis did not object.
He knows what a grand master is without the magistrate reminding him.
Seriously, His Majesty the Emperor would bestow titles and fiefs without ever seeing his face.
His throbbing shoulders drooped.
Now was not the time to show off the princely pride.
“Arrest Count Vegan, but interrogate him directly, not the police force.”
“Me?”
Count Horde Camps, who did not want to get entangled with Count Helio Lagoa, asked in surprise.
Then, Prince Atensio Catis said firmly.
“Kyung takes care of it. I don’t want to leave the interrogation of my in-laws to the police.”
If the security forces were in charge, rumors about Count Vegan would spread in less than a day.
Apart from punishing sins, such shameful things had to be prevented.
“Your Highness, by any chance, would you like me to minimize or cover up this incident?”
“you’re welcome. If you do, the Count of Lagoa will go mad. Do you think you can deal with him with the troops stationed in Ignas?”
“If that’s the case, I’ll take it.”
The magistrate, who had already been badly beaten once in the security guard, was extremely restrained.
“I hope this will prevent the Countess of Lagoa from looking for me. Do you know what I mean?”
“Yes, I will not leave even the slightest suspicion.”
“Yes, and… Ban the vegan count family from entering the royal castle until the case is finished.”
“All right.”
The magistrate couldn’t hold back the accusation inwardly.
That’s because it means that Prince Atensio Catis will distance himself from the Vegan Countess.
It’s a surprising reversal when you think of how he was furious with Count Lagoa just a moment ago, but he took the king’s decision for granted.
Because Grand Masters are such beings.
Count Hod Camps greeted Prince Atensio Catis and left the audience room.
***
Returning to the Eastern Residential District Police Department, the administrative minister conveyed the Prince’s will to Count Elio Lagoa and ordered the chief security officer to bring Count Vegan.
Elio and the Knights of the Archduchess of Knauf left the security guard after watching Baron Gladys Chronore, the chief of the security guard, depart with the security guards.
An hour later, the chief of the peace and Earl Donal Began arrived at the security post.
In a special interrogation room dedicated to the nobility, the magistrate and Earl Donal Began sat face to face.
“Your Excellency Count Vegan. I apologize for asking to see you at this time.”
Earl Horde Camps greeted Earl Donal Vegan politely.
Since he was the son-in-law of the king, he greeted her first as usual.
Count Donal Vegan took his luck with a grumpy face.
“I heard about it. When the head of the Blackjack guild died, he bit me, didn’t he?”
“Yes, he made a foolish remark that His Excellency Count Vegan had instigated it. Please be honest. Were you involved in the kidnapping of Miss Sinclair Jeter?”
The Chief Executive did not turn around because the matter was an issue.
For a moment, Count Donal Vegan frowned.
“Rather than that, isn’t that a bit excessive for calling me at this time, and for the daughter of a mana stone connoisseur? Do you think that the status of being a disciple of Count Lagoa is higher than that of the great nobility of the Principality of Fatima?”
“Can you do the same in front of Count Lagoa?”
“Hum, I’m just saying that because I’m frustrated with reality.”
When Earl Donal Began changed his mind, the magistrate took no further action.
“I will ask again. Were you involved in the kidnapping of Miss Sinclair Jeter?”
“No such thing. It’s just a mothership. You know the longitude. That there are a lot of people grabbing their ankles in an effort to bring them down when they reach my level.”
“But this one is so specific that I can’t help confirming it. Did you know that Red Valley Mana Stone Mine and Coral Trading recently signed a mana stone supply contract? His Excellency threatened the mana stone appraiser to change the grade of the mana stone…”
“Shut up! Doing such a foolish thing in front of someone! Do you think I’ll kidnap people for just a few bucks? I am Count Dounal Vegan!”
Count Donal Began shouted, but the magistrate did not blink an eye.
“I just heard an interesting story from security guards. Do you know that Count Lagoa is a magic swordsman?”
“What does that have to do with me?”
“When he chants strange incantations, people spill his secrets. He said that the reason he found Miss Synclare Jeter was because of the magic of truth.”
“….”
“If the results of the investigation are incomplete, Count Lagoa will directly investigate you. If it gets to that point… I will allow him to interrogate your Excellency. Would you like to sit down with the Count of Lagoa?”
“You are crazy. Don’t you have the pride of being a great aristocrat of the Principality of Fatima? Handing over the Count of the Principality to an outsider? Me too, the son-in-law of His Highness the King? Earl of Campps! If His Highness, the King, knew, Kyung would be all right!”
“His Highness the King entrusted everything to me. Oh, by the way, we inform you that the Vegan count family has been banned from entering the royal castle since this time.”
“what! whoever you want! Are you going to plot treason!”
“It is the name of His Highness the Prince.”
For a moment, Count Donal Vegan’s face was stained with embarrassment.
“Is that true? Did His Highness the Prince really forbid our Vegan count family from entering the royal castle?”
“If you don’t believe me, ask for an interview with Count Vegan. Oh, you won’t be able to pass through the city gate, so you won’t be able to apply.”
“why? Why did His Highness the Gong go so far? What the hell is Count Lagoa saying!”
“Tsk tsk! Don’t just think about earning money, but take an interest in worldly affairs. He is a Grand Master standing shoulder to shoulder with Archduke Knauf.”
“Grand… Master?”
Earl Donal Began looked at the magistrate with a bewildered face.
“The Marquis Magnus Herman, the adviser, and the Count Walter Goldman, the Court Bag, and the Count Stan Dyer, the Supreme Court Justice, were at the security guard a little while ago. Why are we facing each other in the interrogation room at this time?”
Earl Donal Began, who was sitting in awe, let out a laugh with a dejected face.
“haha. Now I see I was a baby in the woods. It’s good enough for His Highness the Gong to keep his distance.”
The magistrate, who had been listening to Earl Donal Began’s self-deprecating remarks, asked insinuatingly.
“Tell me. What happened?”
“ha! I just told the Blackjack guild leader to ‘make the mana stone appraiser follow my will’. But he ruined things to this point.”
Count Donal Vegan handed over the responsibility to the head of the Blackjack Guild until the end.
“All right. It has been confirmed that he gave certain instructions to Prad Taylor, the head of the Blackjack guild, so you will have to stay at the security guard from now on.”
“What punishment do you think will be imposed on me?”
“I honestly don’t know. Wouldn’t it depend on Count Lagoa’s will?”
“Are the kidnappers arrested too?”
“no. They all became a handful of meat in the field. That’s why I said that I don’t know what kind of punishment will be imposed on His Excellency.”
In despair at the words of the magistrate, Earl Donal Began closed his eyes tightly.
