by adminEpisode 51 – Defection from North Korea –
The day to go to court.
The sun rose that day.
Because of this, I may have to be locked up longer than I was during my time at the academy.
In the worst case, you might be sentenced to death and die without being able to escape.
But I don’t regret it.
If I die, I can just ask the prince and princess to take care of me next.
When it becomes clear that you have been possessed by WFS, all you have to do is hand over a note containing all of your memories and future knowledge.
‘I’ve caught the note a few times, but fortunately I thought it was a child’s imagination. At times like this, it’s nice to see something special.’
If you think about it, why was it written in this language instead of Korean?
Let’s assume that your judgment was a little clouded when you were young.
When I went out of the dormitory, police officers greeted me.
I saw a large crowd of people behind the police officers who were standing in a row as if telling me which way to go.
There were more cases last time when he said he had committed sexual misconduct.
Fortunately, the reaction was different.
“But according to what Seonghwangcheong said, the Evil God Church tried to kidnap him? So, if the princess is caught, doesn’t that mean she won’t survive?”
“Seonghwangcheong said that too.”
“But why are you being arrested?”
“According to imperial law, first of all, he threatened the royal family with their lives and also caused direct harm to the royal family?”
“The princess herself said it was okay, so it doesn’t matter, right?”
“Yes. But that was based on common sense, and it was just a forced justification. There are a lot of cases like that.”
“That’s the marquis, right?”
“Does he have no political opponents just because he is a marquis? 1 It must have been put in by a family that is part of the princess’s faction and is hostile to the Marquis of Mentutihotep.”
My current public opinion is not that bad.
But that doesn’t mean it’s good.
This is because it is not a bad thing, but it is not something that is actively defended.
Public opinion would turn if the emperor were declared guilty.
“Then follow me.”
The officers tried to catch me.
Even though the crime has not yet been confirmed, the person is treated as a criminal.
In this respect, it still feels like modern times.
Oh, was it like this in modern times? I think only violent criminals were like this.
“But it’s true that the Evil God Church was defeated, right?”
“In the end, it’s a nobleman’s game. There’s nothing we can do.
If you can greatly influence public opinion, you may be able to influence His Majesty the Emperor to be acquitted… How do we do that?”
The Evil God Church was defeated.
Because of this fact and because the victim, the princess herself, said it was okay, under normal circumstances the trial would not have even been held.
Through Seonghwangcheong’s remarks, I can see that what I did was not treason at all.
This is because the victim, the princess, said it was okay.
But Seonghwangcheong is not as strong as it used to be.
Since the Seonghwangcheong could not provide support, the First Princess faction held a trial.
It was an attack I could make because I was not part of the 1st Prince’s faction.
‘The 1st princess must have attacked me because she thought I was closer to the 1st prince… After all, the royal family is the royal family. Even if it’s not confirmed, you can still get a general idea, right?’
It was the 1st Prince who won the WFS.
If it were to happen, it would have been to the 1st prince.
It’s just that if I join a faction, I’ll have that much responsibility, so I can’t do it.
In that case, it would be better to sign a military contract after the emperor is decided.
Anyway, if you learn the Ghost Sword Technique from the Sword Demon, you can at least put out an urgent fire right away.
“Wait a minute.”
I’m about to leave like that.
Someone stopped the officers.
It was Theseus Winterfield.
No matter how many police officers came under orders from the imperial family, they did nothing to prevent the next operation.
The once strong human wall cracked.
Theseus crossed the wall and came next to me and said hello.
“Abraxas… Are you okay… ?”
“What. Do you think I would be scared of something like this?”
“No… If you make a mistake this time, you could die. A trial in which guilt or innocence is decided by His Majesty the Emperor, not by a judge.
No matter how justified it may be, if His Majesty the Emperor decides… ”
The reason I could not stop this trial is simple.
The reason why my family and the 1st Prince were unable to stop it is simple.
This is because this trial is a request to His Majesty the Emperor.
Seonghwangcheong is an external force, not within the empire.
Even the emperor cares because he has a very strong justification for representing God.
However, it has virtually omnipotent power on issues that are advocated within the empire.
If there are even 30% of supporters, it means that the emperor wins overwhelmingly.
This is especially true if Seonghwangcheong fails to show its full potential like now.
“What. It doesn’t matter as long as you don’t die. If so, you will be released someday.”
If I give that information to the 1st Prince. And if you tell me the information about Dragon Heart.
Someday, the First Prince will ascend to the throne of emperor and then he will release me.
WFS He ascended to the position of emperor 3 years from the start of the main story, and 8 years from now, so it could be faster.
That’s it.
Even though it was a little late, I gained an ally called the royal family.
“The original plan has to be broad. If something goes wrong, it’s easy to fix.”
Of course, the best thing is to be acquitted and released.
But how low is the possibility?
“It’s done, let’s go now.”
Eventually after meeting everyone I could.
I left myself to the officers.
After walking for a while, I boarded a carriage provided by the imperial family.
At first glance, I was delighted by the luxurious-looking horses and decorations.
When I sat down on the red carpet and looked out, I saw a lot of people watching me.
Professor Rachel, Professor Maximilian, Lucas, Theseus, Sylvia, Elijah, Alice, the healing saint…
“Have a nice trip. Abraxas.”
“Hyung… Be sure to come back alive… ”
And even my family.
I came to enjoy the festival and saw my son and older brother being tried.
He spoke with a smile on purpose to lessen the shock a little.
“I’ll be there.”
And just like that, the carriage taking me to the imperial palace left.
No one knew when it would come back.
========
The judge who arrived looked quite different from a modern judge.
If you feel like modern courts are strict and solemn.
The court here was similar to a banquet hall.
Of course, it was just a decoration, but the atmosphere was similar.
There was a position for a judge who represented the emperor.
On the right are me and the defense team.
On the left were my family’s political enemies and prosecutors.
Not long after I sat down.
People slowly gathered in, and many audience members also came in.
That’s how the public opinion war began.
To change the emperor’s mind even a little.
“How can that be? No, no matter how much I tried to save them, they are royal family.”
“That’s correct. Moreover, last time, he completely broke the rules of the match and persistently pointed out his weaknesses.”
“If you think about it, even if it was the best situation. This is a problem because he is someone who would have done it if necessary.
If killing the Emperor right away would make the world a better place, should we kill him? Maybe there is another way?”
“In the end, it just seemed good, but it can’t be said to be the best. I need to tell someone right away or hold on somehow.
What is the difference between His Majesty’s Royal Guard abandoning His Majesty by saying they will spare him if he abandons him?”
These people even bring extreme examples to criticize each other.
The attack was made to protect the princess.
You’re acting like I’m being disloyal.
In reality, I did it to save the princess, not abandon her.
I am not even the princess’s subordinate.
Fortunately, there were some people that the 1st Prince had put in.
Several people spoke in defense.
“That analogy is not right. He threatened to protect Yeongsik, not to kill him.
If he had really murdered the princess right now, he would not have been able to avoid the death penalty. In a way, it’s like risking your life to protect it.”
“Looking at the situation of the battle, it appears that a certain decision was made at the time. Other possibilities are strictly just possibilities.
Unless the Heavenly God turns back time, no one will know.”
“And the result was okay in the end. There is no problem. The victim, the princess, says it’s okay!
In that sense, if a member of the royal family gets married and there is a fight, does that mean you have confronted the royal family?”
“In the end, the injury itself is a fact!”
“Exceptions must be made!”
They constantly criticize each other.
I know very well how bad it is internally.
In order to gain political advantage, they hide their conscience, the truth, and other things and put on a brave face.
and… My political enemies subtly revealed the purpose of putting me here.
“Yes. In the end, let’s say Abraxas Yeongsik made the best decision at the time.
But then, why didn’t Her Royal Highness Princess Alice use the aura of domination, a power that has been passed down to the royal family for generations?”
“Well, that is!”
“ According to what the saint informed us, Abraxas Yeongsik clearly overpowered those weaker than himself with the princess’s aura of domination.
They came up with a compromise that professors would be responsible for the rest. This story is an incident that Seonghwangcheong was convinced of.”
“That’s right.”
“But why didn’t the princess do that? It seemed like a good method, right? Imperial family hierarchy and emergency situations.
If all of these things were combined, it could have been a good idea… ”
“It is… ! I can’t help it… !”
“Yes. I know. It must have been because Her Majesty Princess Alice’s aura of domination was so strong. Especially since His Royal Highness Prince Efferento wasn’t there either.
However, the reason why the royal family reigns supreme among so many powerful people is because of their aura of domination. Not being able to use it would mean that you are not qualified as a member of the royal family.”
“Stop talking nonsense! Where does that blood go?”
“So does that mean that power that cannot be used has value?”
“That is why Her Highness trained her skills and rose to the level of Auror Swell.
In fact, before powerful enemies appeared, he was able to suppress all the thugs who approached him with his own strength. But does that matter?”
“It would be perfect if there was an aura of dominance.”
Each other’s opinions run parallel, neither getting closer nor farther apart.
There are many different opinions, but the essence is one.
2 With those who want to disgrace the princess.
2 Those who want to protect the princess.
The opinions of these two beings oppose each other.
“Let’s all stop.”
When each other’s opinions just drift apart without any benefit.
Princess Alice Tantalota entered the courtroom and sat next to the plaintiff.
Since she’s never filed a lawsuit, she shouldn’t be sitting on the plaintiff’s side.
The force of power forced her to sit down.
Of course, since this is a criminal trial, there is no distinction between defendant and plaintiff.
Looking around, several people came in following the princess.
These are probably the factions created by the princess.
‘The second son of the western governor, the third daughter of the southern margrave, several central nobles… ‘Who is that again?’
The majority are characters who did not appear in WFS.
At this point, my guess seems reasonable.
It is certain that something happened to the academy.
‘Those people are from the 1st Prince’s faction, so they might appear. If you look at the fact that it didn’t appear… ‘I guess that’s right.’
Put that thought aside for a moment.
Let everyone arrive.
Clap~

With an unknown sound.
Something starts to happen.
The sliding door behind the head table where the judge sits slowly opens to the side.
Unknown smoke flows out from inside, as if some great force is manifesting itself.
Eventually, the door opens completely, and a person walks out majestically from inside.
That person had the appearance of a typical nobleman.
This may be because he was a messenger who came to deliver the emperor’s orders rather than a judge.
The messenger sits down and slowly reads the document.
The decision may have already been made, but this was done out of fear that something might have been incorrectly reported to the emperor and cause misunderstanding.
The messenger put down the documents again as if there was no problem, looked at me, and opened his mouth.
“His Majesty the Emperor’s message was given.”
Everyone gets nervous at those words.
We are calculating what the results will be.
From the words that come out of that person’s mouth.
This judge will be filled with joy and sorrow.
“The defendant, Abraxas Mentutihotep, intended to save the princess, but he clearly caused injury to the royal family.
and various behavioral issues. Disloyalty to the imperial family, etc. There are many problems and even though they are aware of them, they are not being fixed.“
At those words, the faces of the first princess faction begin to brighten.
Because everything I said supported my guilt.
In inverse proportion to that, the faces of the 1st Prince’s faction gradually darkened.
In the end, if I am found guilty. This is because the image of the princess will deteriorate.
The reason for everything was that the princess was ultimately unable to use her aura of domination.
Because my family might hate Alice Tantalota, regardless of the opposite sex.
‘I didn’t even think about being innocent anyway. If you are not guilty, the emperor will not even hold a trial… ‘It’ll be at least 10 years.’
Of course, I have no regrets.
According to the official story, Eferento will become emperor in at least 8 years.
If I tell you my talent, I might be able to become emperor faster.
Then you will be able to leave then.
Even in the midst of so many judgments coming and going.
The messenger continued the emperor’s words.
“I believe it is unlikely that these problems will be corrected in the future. so that… His Majesty the Emperor decided to grant a very appropriate sentence.”
Everyone’s eyes are focused on one place.
A moment that feels like an eternity.
Meanwhile, the emperor’s ruling flowed from the judge’s mouth.
“Defendant, Abraxas Mentutihotep, is ordered to be detained for two weeks at Elos Detention Center.”
Land-Land-Land-
The messenger’s hammer confirms the verdict.
The scene became chaotic, as if someone had been hit on the head with a hammer.
It was because the words that came out of his mouth were so confusing.
My brother is guilty.
However, two weeks of detention is virtually the same as being innocent.
Then you could just say it was a special trial.
The problem is that this is not an ordinary trial.
However, this is a trial presided over by the emperor and carried out by imperial order.
Even though there have been cases of acquittal due to information errors.
There has never been a sentence like this before.
Therefore, in an even more chaotic environment.
I had a different idea.
‘Elos Detention Center… ? If it’s Elos, it’s Theseus… ? If you do this well… ‘I guess I can get some money from the angel?’
Abraxas was looking next.
He left a message of gratitude in his heart to the emperor who was suspiciously friendly towards him.
