110 – Hyde puts noblemen and witches on trial! # 4

He was a huge fat guy.

A fat man so huge that even when he lowers his head, he can’t even see his toes due to his huge chest and belly fat.

As if to show off his style, he was wearing a cloak and his silk clothes were fastened with golden buttons.

Squeak-.

Of course, the buttons and clothes were screaming as if they would tear at any moment.

Whoosh, whoosh-.

Every time he took a step, a heavy and dull breath flowed out of his lips.

People who saw that frowned and were shocked.

“That pig-like bastard is the Agileth of the world?”

“The only platinum knight in the kingdom is like that!”

Platinum Knight Aguileth.

He was present as a witness at my trial.

His hands were tied with chains, the ends of which were held like a leash in the hands of a fairly exposed woman.

“It is Lord Naib.”

“You’re pretty.”

“Hey! Don’t talk nonsense! Naive is famous for putting all the men who flirt with her in prison!”

It was like that.

The reason Naive of the Rose Thorn wore revealing clothes was to legally beat and trap men who flirted and lusted after her.

In other words, it was like the sweet scent that carnivorous plants emit to attract bees.

Wouldn’t it be more appropriate to say the knight of hell in Paris rather than the knight of rose thorns?

“Don’t hesitate and come out, you pig!”

anyway.

Sloth-Agiles, the Great Sin Seat, was led to the surface by the hand of the jailer, Naib. He looked around as if he had seen the ground for the first time in a very long time.

As if trying to capture even more scenery in my eyes.

“Lord Aguiles.”

I said.

Agiles, who was looking around like a dog released after being locked up for a long time, moved his folded chin and raised his head arrogantly.

Tell me – it was the same thing.

I asked him.

“Lord Aguiles. About 20 years ago now. You were called the guardian knight of the old king Uniger Pendragon and the kingdom’s strongest Platinum Knight. Is that correct?”

The identity of this huge fat man was a knight of the platinum rank, a rank that could only be awarded to the strongest person in the kingdom.

Of course, people laughed wahaha at this story.

“That fat guy?”

“It seems difficult to even get out of bed, let alone fight!”

It certainly looked that way.

But what I want to talk about is not now, but 20 years ago.

Soon, Fat Agiles straightened his shoulders and spoke confidently.

“Yes! I am the platinum knight, the lightning Agileth! So why not hurry up and show some courtesy? Before that proud nose is knocked down by this lightning-like hand.”

Charrr-.

It was Agiles, holding out her chained hand in front of me and clenching her fist.

I kept asking him.

“Why did you, the best knight in the kingdom, withdraw from the front lines and sit in a sit-in at a place called the Wall of Indolence?”

“… … .”

Agiles kept her mouth shut.

I felt like I was talking to a huge rock in front of me.

“You did not fulfill your duty as a knight to protect the king and the royal family. It was negligent. Because of your laziness and laziness, the Uniger royal family was defeated on the battlefield and fell. Is that correct?”

“… … .”

“But in fact, you were not lazy or negligent, but you were probably carrying out your mission. It was to protect the newly born child of the royal family. Am I wrong?”

At that time, the fight between the Uniger royal family and the church was fierce.

It means that they are equal to each other.

It was only after the platinum knight Agiles was locked in the castle of negligence that it completely broke down.

The kingdom’s army, which was left with a huge military power vacuum called the Platinum Knight, began to shake greatly and eventually collapsed.

If so, a question arises.

Why did Pendragon, King of Unizer, lock his knight Agileth in the Citadel of Tare?

Was it because the king was so crazy that he fell into a forbidden love, as rumored, that he was unable to think rationally?

no.

He must have had an important mission.

Immediately Rehoboam, who was listening to my interrogation, shouted,

“That day! In the citadel of negligence, the woman of Midvar gave birth! He was a child who inherited the blood of Midbarin and Unizer! He was the descendant of forbidden love. It was the seed of war! That’s me!”

Sloppy-.

As I listened to the story of Rehoboam, I felt the surrounding atmosphere rippling like waves.

“Has something like that happened?”

“The reason why Agiles suddenly defended the fortress… .”

People’s eyes were now focused on Fat Agiles.

The man who had been ridiculed as a fat man or a pig was now weighing down this place with quite a heavy weight.

His mouth remained silent.

In many ways, there is silence.

The first to speak up in that situation was the taboo witch Hecate.

“I was three years old at the time. It’s my earliest childhood memory. That day, I followed my teacher, the forbidden witch Obedo, into the castle.”

The witch Hecate began speaking in an eerie voice, as if she was saying something that should not be said.

“The woman was lying on the bed. My eyes were blown out and I looked like a crazy person. Its hugely swollen belly felt like it would burst if touched and it let out a howl like an animal. She was more of a witch than my teacher. I had to wet the towel several times to wash her.”

Hehehehe-Smiling Hecate.

“Hehe-. I still can’t forget it. The sound of a baby being born. A spark that connects the bloodlines of a cursed barbarian and a noble royal family. The child who cried like an animal was a small, beautiful princess.”

Princess─.

People took a deep breath at that story.

The one who was most surprised was Rehoboam.

“Princess? Are you saying she was a girl? It can’t be! The child would have been a boy! Because that child is me, Rehoboam!”

“No. What I saw was definitely a girl. I don’t lie.”

“Yes, you bitch! Who are you lying to now? I can’t believe what a witch says! Aguiles! Knight of Uniger! You tell the truth! I, Rehoboam Unizer, command!”

chuck-!

Rehoboam urged Agiles, the platinum knight, as if he could not believe it.

Agiles was still silent and seemed frustrated.

I asked.

“Lord Aguiles. Who is right?”

“… … .”

Agiles remained silent despite my question.

It was time to think about whether I should use a slightly annoying method to get him to open his mouth.

“It was a rainy day. It was a thunderous dawn. Asha gave birth to a daughter whose father she did not know. There is no lie in what I say. That daughter was taken away by a witch, and I don’t know anything since.”

Huh-.

Agiles cleared her throat and yawned lazily.

Alter Archibald, who had been quietly listening to the story while the trial was going on, frowned.

“Asha is Pendragon’s mistress. The fact that she gave birth to a daughter means that the princess of the Uniger royal family was born. The royal princess is alive… .”

Sloppy-.

In response to Alter Archibald’s muttering, several people also said one thing at a time.

“It might become the spark of rebellion in a barely stable kingdom.”

“If that girl starts a war on the back of a powerful noble… .”

“Lie! It’s a lie! There is no such thing as a princess! Born is the promised prince of prophecy! It was I, Rehoboam! Look at me! Look at this purple lineage mixed with black blood!”

Rehoboam shouted loudly.

His neck was very cracked and his face was red and tense, as if it would explode if pricked with a needle.

But now no one listened to Rehoboam’s story.

The only person who cared about him was his lawyer, I, Hyde.

“Prince Rehoboam. I’m glad the charges were completely cleared. Whether it was 20 years ago or now, you are an innocent person with no connection to the royal family.”

“Gaaat-! It’s all lies! You guys are on the same team! It’s a ploy to trap me! Gourmet party! Great clans! Raise your flag! Flag!”

Rehoboam now shouted to the crowd.

However, no one agreed with Rehoboam’s story.

People were just making a small fuss.

“Why are you doing that? Why are you calling yourself a heretic?”

“Maybe you fell for the witch’s trick.”

Rehoboam’s public sentiment was still good.

People didn’t seem to think he was a bad person.

Actually he wasn’t a bad person.

He was just an innocent and harmless orphan who couldn’t even be a bad person.

Sze-.

It was then.

“Rehoboam.”

Someone appeared.

Many people were very surprised by his appearance, and some bowed their heads or knelt.

I also bowed my head.

“His Holiness the Pope.”

# # #

Rehoboam felt like his head was boiling.

My whole body felt swollen with excitement, and I felt like my brain was being cooked by the boiling heat in my body.

‘I am the true master of the world! ‘He is the protagonist of the prophecy!’

The man could not stand the sight of the pillars of pride that had been supporting him collapsing completely.

Just when I thought I had to somehow overcome this situation, Pope Gregory appeared.

“Rehoboam.”

“… … !”

Rehoboam was greatly embarrassed.

I was faced with Pope Gregory in this situation where I could not receive support from the Gourmet Association.

If he was caught like this, he might be severely punished.

You will receive a punishment worse than death.

however-.

Pope Gregory’s expression was infinitely kind.

“Rehoboam. I think I pushed you too hard and made you suffer from mental illness. Rehoboam, my son. You are kinder and wiser than anyone else. You are not Pendragon’s son, but truly my son born from my heart… !”

“… … !”

Rehoboam was so embarrassed and nervous that he said nothing.

At first glance, it seemed that Pope Gregory had a generous heart and covered Rehoboam’s sins and forgave him.

In fact, it was like cutting off Rehoboam’s limbs completely.

“Rehoboam. I saw the moment you were born. You are not the son of Pendragon, nor are you the son of Asha the Black Witch. You were only the son of nobodies.”

“Well, that’s right… .”

“Go in and rest. Until my next calling. It is the king’s command.”

Uuuung-.

The halo of light located behind Pope Gregory spun making a terrifying sound.

Rehoboam had no choice but to bow his head to this irresistible command.

“… Damn.”

Rehoboam’s rebellion ended before it even began.

Gregory spoke to Roland, the knight who accompanied him.

“Roland. Take Rehoboam away and lock him up in the coolest, coldest room in the church. Do not give him even a drop of water until I command you to do so.

“… … .”

Roland lowered his head.

Finally, Rehoboam was led out by the black knights.

Looking at that scene, Pope Gregory felt a little dizzy.

‘Hyde, this guy. ‘You’re revealing to people the truth you wanted to hide the most.’

The story is that the princess of Uniger was alive.

Gregory felt greatly annoyed when he saw Hyde arbitrarily revealing a fact that could possibly shake the foundation of the United Kingdom.

However, there was no benefit or justification for punishing Hyde here.

So Pope Gregory looked at the witch Hecate standing in front of the judge and said with narrowed eyes:

“Alter. Take Hecate, the witch who tried to deceive and lure Rehoboam, and behead it yourself!”
