067 – Hyde clashes with Nicholas! #3

adultery.

Affair.

It is a terrible sin.

Even though you already have a married wife and husband, you commit an obscene act with another person.

“Adultery and extramarital affairs are acts that destroy families and destroy social communities. Sir Roland, what is the punishment for the members of the Black Knights who committed adultery and adultery?”

The barracks of the Black Knights.

Military tribunal prepared there.

I asked Roland, looking at Nicolas sitting in the defendant’s seat.

Roland sank lightly under the wolf’s helmet, not sure if it was difficult to speak or if he was thinking about punishment.

Soon the interrogator, Honduras, who was sitting at the bench, spoke first.

“The Dark Knights must maintain stricter dignity than anyone else. Anyone who disturbs morals and discipline by engaging in lewd acts is sentenced to be flogged, regardless of man or woman!”

It’s like a whip.

In this world where all kinds of bizarre death penalty systems are developed and maintained, being whipped may not be very exciting, but…

A whip was a tool created to destroy humans efficiently.

The tip of the whip wielded by a skilled master passes the speed of sound, right?

If a person was hit on the back with it, their skin would be in a miserable state and tattered.

The Lord, who came down to earth in a human body, was also whipped by Roman soldiers and suffered.

Of course, the Lord was innocent, but Nicholas was found guilty.

The comparison itself is absurd.

However, Nicholas felt aggrieved.

“I didn’t commit an affair! That man, Rust, manipulated my body and made me seduce women… ! I am not guilty… !”

Nicholas was a small man with a thief background.

It was said that people were going to extreme lengths to survive.

It was like that this time too.

However, his remarks angered the bald head of Honduras, the military tribunal’s judge.

“Sinners must not mention Rust’s name in vain!”

bang-!

Interrogator Honduras slams the table.

He had a previous criminal record for being corrupted by Rust, who appeared in the witch trials in which Lucy and other women were named as defendants.

So it was clear that Rust didn’t like the name.

“Nicholas! You should be careful what you say in front of this interrogator!”

And Honduras also seemed to dislike Roland’s lieutenant, Nicolas. According to my investigation, the Honduran interrogators have deliberately covered up the crimes of Nicholas and others.

The reason why the crimes of the Black Knights have not surfaced until now is because politicians in Honduras and other countries are playing a role.

But now there is a big rift between Honduras and Nicolas.

Why?

Probably because Nicholas fled during the rampage of the Blood Crusade.

Honduras must have been angry as they had to survive without the protection of the Black Knights.

“Nicholas! You are also guilty of running away from your duty as a Knight of the Temple to protect innocent citizens! Even though he was my bodyguard, he abandoned that role!”

look.

Innocent citizens must be angry that they made excuses and did not protect themselves.

It’s obvious what little people think.

“Lord Hyde, is this thing true? Possession by Rust.”

Honduras now asked me.

The voice was very gentle, almost to the point of being slightly servile.

Has my evaluation of myself increased after going through that madness?

“Lord Hyde, you have survived many encounters with Rust, the vicious and fearsome master of sin! Do you think what Nicholas is testifying is true?”

Honduras’ question was clear in its meaning.

Crimes alleging possession by Rust have previously been acquitted. This was the case for Milione Archibald, who was watching this scene from the audience.

Also, Florence’s artist Michelan did the same and Archbishop Coramdeo did the same.

Of course, Michelan and Coramdeo were not acquitted because they committed other crimes, but—.

The current precedent is that a crime committed against one’s will through possession is considered ‘not guilty’.

So Honduras seemed afraid that they would have to acquit Nicolas.

They probably want to punish you somehow.

“Your Honor.”

Sze-.

I stood before the judge.

Everyone’s eyes were focused on me.

Milione, who was yawning boredly, also looked at me.

In this trial, my authority has already surpassed that of Honduras, the judge.

“No one in this world knows that man named Rust better than me. From what I can see, I think we need to look at this case a little more in-depth. I request Ms. Fontina as a witness.”

Investigations in the sanctuary of heretics revealed that Nicholas had many lovers. And the name of the lover he met until recently was ‘Fontina Arbodin’, and she was the wife of a baron.

The two seemed to have kept the meeting a secret…

━As Hans, the chief servant, investigated, Baroness Fontina left the estate saying she was going on a trip with Baroness Normandi, but in reality she came to Veneto…

There is no perfect crime in this world.

Because the Lord is watching everything.

In the first place, is it possible to attach the word ‘perfect’ to human actions?

“Bring the criminal to me!”

Lady Fontina, the mistress of the Baron Arbodin family.

She was tied to a rope and taken to a military court.

The faces of the knights in black armor and the fierce Honduran judge were so scary that Fontina was trembling violently and her eyes were filled with fear.

She shifted her gaze anxiously here and there and then shouted brightly as if she had spotted Nicholas, who was wearing handcuffs like her.

“Nicholas! Nicholas! Are you okay?”

That expression is bright like a flower.

Oh my god, even in this situation, you still care about that piece of trash?

Nicholas, what on earth have you done to make women fall for you like this?

I said with a shameful heart.

“Looking at the reaction just now, there seems to be no need to prove the relationship between the two.”

However, Nicholas was furious.

“Shut up! You bitch who stuck with the devil! Don’t call my name in vain with that dirty mouth!”

“Stuck with the devil? Nicholas! What do you mean! It wasn’t my husband, Arbodin, or Rust that I loved! Nicholas, it was you!”

“That’s not me! It was Rust who controlled my body! If I were sane, do you think I would have dared to mess around with a woman like you? You dirty bitch!”

Tsk-.

Nicolas even spit at Mrs. Fontina.

Although no needles touched Fontina’s reddish face, it turned the color of dirt, and her expression became so pitiful that she could not bear to look at it.

The worst thing is that even the Black Knights who were looking at this scene frowned and said, “Nicholas, that bastard, no matter how unfaithful he is, he still treats the woman who says he loves him like that?”.

From my perspective, Fontina was an equally dirty woman, but since Nicolas was a villain who could not be recycled, Fontina seemed to be relatively sympathized with.

“Please release me quickly! I am the hostess of Baron Arbodin! Even though they are members of the Knights Templar, they treat nobles carelessly! If my husband, Arbodin, finds out about this, he won’t stay quiet!”

Fontina now confidently shouted to those around her.

Do you want to be treated with respect for nobles?

However, regarding this matter, Judge Honduras pulled out a rolled-up letter.

Madam “, it was your husband, Baron Arvadin, who sponsored this trial. We have an obligation to somehow determine right from wrong.”

“What? My husband, Arbodaeng?”

It’s fun.

The husband, whose wife was taken away with his eyes open, was also a nobleman.

Is this not going to happen quietly?

Sze-.

I looked at the sky outside the window.

The sun rising towards lunch time is dazzling.

Come to think of it, I didn’t even eat breakfast.

I should finish it quickly and have lunch.

“Well, since everyone is busy, I, Hyde, will make sure to sort out the situation. In Hyde’s view, Nicholas is a person possessed by Rust. He is innocent.”

# # #

Nicholas.

He thought he was a smart and wise person.

When her younger siblings were poisoned by their stepmother, she was the only one who escaped and survived.

When the bandits were annihilated by the monstrous Roland, he was the only one who survived.

It was thanks to his wisdom that he survived when Rust appeared and went on a rampage.

‘A crisis becomes an opportunity! I who ran away from my family became a thief, and I who ran away from the thief became a knight!’

Nicholas always found a way out of a crisis.

A crisis becomes an opportunity.

This time too, Nicholas planned to survive by selling the name of a man named Rust.

“He was possessed by Rust, so he is not guilty!”

Priest Hyde.

This stupid man even personally defended Nicholas’ innocence.

‘Hyde you idiot! He defends me without knowing that I was planning to steal his wife. How much of a bastard is Sukmaek?’

Nicholas now looked at Honduras, the judge.

Honduras’ expression looked very angry and unfair.

“Lord Hyde, then what should we do? Are you saying that he should be acquitted like this?”

“It is true that he is not guilty, but he should not be acquitted. Rust, the fact that he has been possessed by that man several times means that he may continue to do so in the future.”

Nicholas.

He felt a chill run down the back of his neck.

Should I say that it feels like my spine is being stroked with a cold brush?

His intuition told him something was about to go wrong.

Priest Hyde continued.

“Rust The man mainly possesses men. To prevent this from happening again, Sir Nicholas absolutely needs to be castrated. Definitely!”

“What the fuck!?”

Castration.

Nicholas felt dizzy before his eyes.

For him, castration was the same as ending a man’s life, a human life.

‘no! Fuck! What should I do? If you continue like this, you will be castrated! He’s innocent, but he’s castrated! Where can you find such a fucking case!’

Nicholas was shocked in many ways.

‘Isn’t it better to be whipped? okay! Whipping hurts enough to kill you, but it doesn’t mean you die! ‘It might be better than castration!’

After─.

Nicholas calmly took a breath, admiring his own wisdom.

“Actually, I’m not sure if Rust has possessed me or not. No, I understand now. I also committed adultery of my own volition! Fontina, I love her!”

“Nicholas! also! You were in love with me! that’s right! We loved each other! They even wanted to marry each other! Is it a sin that we love each other… !?”

Love was not a sin.

Drip-tuk-.

Nicholas was delighted to see Fontina shedding tears.

‘After all, women are idiots! He didn’t even know he was being used! Well, Fontina, wouldn’t you rather be taken advantage of by the handsome me than to be the wife of an ugly, pot-bellied baron?’

Now people’s eyes turned to Hyde.

Priest Hyde had been silent from a while ago, but he finally wiped his forehead.

“Oh my, I almost made a mistake in judgment. Indeed, now we see that Sir Nicholas is not Rust’s possessor. He is a perfectly clear mind. In that case, Sir Roland, I must leave the handling of this case to you.”

Sze-.

Roland immediately accepted the whip.

Nicholas shouted at him.

“Captain! Please forgive me! Isn’t it a sin to love? It’s just that we met each other at the wrong time and that love became a ‘sin’!”

“… … .”

Roland-.

I felt that he was agitated by the word love.

Adjutant Nicolas knew very well that his superior, Roland, was a very emotional person, and he planned to appeal to his emotions this time as he had done during his time as a thief.

“Captain! Please forgive me!”

“Hold that criminal’s arm. I will hit the teenager.”

Nicholas braced himself as the knights grabbed his arms.

Whip type.

If you endure it somehow, you will survive.

Whooo!

Finally, the whip struck Nicholas’ body.

There was no sign of swinging the whip.

However, the whip clearly struck Nicholas from his collarbone to his side, and with just one blow, his bones were completely shattered and he was on the verge of death.

“Kwaaa! Ahhh!”

Nicholas was in great pain.

whipping.

You want me to endure this for 10 years?

No, it was clear that he would die before the third generation passed.

Nicholas shouted desperately.

“No, when I got hit, I chuckled. I found out! In fact, I am innocent! Rust, that man made me like this… Please save me… I will castrate you… .”

Sze-.

Black Knight Roland looked at Hyde.

Hyde shook his head.

“As a priest who is more faithful than anyone else, I am unable to lie. Nicholas, he is innocent of Rust’s possession. He has a heart so strong that Rust cannot possess him.”

“Then two cars-. I will hit you. But Nicholas, give me a chance. If the woman you loved so much is to be punished in your stead, I will reduce it to five strokes. Prove your love. If you love one another, you can become mortal sinners and receive punishment on your behalf.”

Sze-.

Roland pointed to Baroness Fontina with an iron-gloved hand.

Soon Nicholas shouted.

“Fontina! You love me! Please hit me for me! You can do that much because you love me!? There are five! Five cars! You only need to get four shots from now on! Fontina! Love you! Let’s get married! huh!? You decided to divorce the Baron!”

“I, he, I, I─.”

Fontina was greatly embarrassed.

Was it because he saw Nicholas’ body shattered by a single whiplash?

Fontina closed her eyes tightly and turned her head.

“Well, I don’t know about this! I never loved that man! My husband is Baron Arvadin! I never decided to divorce or anything like that!”

“… What?”

Nicholas.

He opened his eyes wide as if he had been greatly shocked and opened his mouth even louder to scream.

“You fucking bitch! Hey bitch! You fucking bitch! This bitch, you fucking idiot!”

“Then this is the second generation, Nicholas.”

Huuuung-. Sigh!

This time, all of my ribs, starting from the collarbone on the other side, were torn apart.

This time Nicholas couldn’t even scream.

Just two.

With that, the strong knight died.

“Then it is the third generation.”

Huh, wow!

However, Roland beat all the 10 people he had chosen over the corpse.

Even those in the crowd who were expecting Nicolas’ death turned their eyes to the horribly mutilated body, and Roland finally put down his whip and said:

“Observe the discipline.”
