Episode 199 The trial opens

Cecilia sent the commander of the Imperial Knights to the dungeon where the Marquis of Marlborough was being held. She wanted to find out the real name of her subordinate named M, who had instigated the kidnapping on his behalf, and whether he was still staying at the mansion.

“His real name is Matthew, and he is said to still be living at the Marquis of Marlborough’s residence.”

Cecilia, who heard the knight commander’s report in her office, immediately ordered Matthew’s recruits to be secured. And that night she called Lucia to her own room.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“You need to catch that guy named Lawrence. However, there is one thing you must work on.”

“Do you mean work?”

Lucia responded that she didn’t understand.

“If Luna’s existence becomes known to the public when they use him as a witness in court, it will be difficult in many ways. Work is needed to prepare for that.”

“If that’s the case, you don’t have to worry, Your Majesty.”

Lucia smiled, raising the corners of her mouth slightly. Cecilia confirmed her appearance and nodded her head.

“When you finish the work, bring it to the imperial palace. “He too must pay the corresponding penalty.”

“Yes, Your Majesty. “I will follow your orders.”

Lucia disappeared immediately.

Cecilia stretched her legs and carefully sat down on her bed. If you think about it, the trial was just a formality.

“…”

She wondered what kind of punishment would be imposed on lawbreakers. As her worries deepened, the corners of her mouth slowly turned upward.

* * *

As soon as Lucia received Cecilia’s orders, she headed straight to the Black Knife Guild.

As soon as she arrived at the guild building, she leaned close to the wall and looked inside. It wasn’t long before Lucia found Lawrence and immediately penetrated inside.

“Well, well…”

Lucia covered his mouth with her handkerchief before he could shout.

“It’s been a while?”

“Wow!”

To the grinning Compared Lucia, Lawrence looked horrified. From Lawrence’s perspective, Lucia was like a messenger from the underworld, so it was natural for her to react that way.

“Well, the reason I came to you was to get the punishment you deserve.”

Lawrence tried to somehow escape Lucia’s grasp her her, but to no avail. As time passed, his struggles became weaker.

It was because Lucia had put sleeping pills on her handkerchief beforehand.

She supported Lawrence’s shoulders as he fell and slowly lowered him down. It was not to be considered, but to prevent loud noises.

Then Lucia crumpled Lawrence into her subspace pocket.

“It’s done.”

She grabbed her subspace pouch and immediately jumped down the guild building. Then he ran down the street at a speed so fast that no ordinary person would dare chase him.

The place Lucia headed to was a secret base located deep in a forest on the outskirts of Deleson. It was a secret space only for Luna members, but the only person who mainly used it was Lucia.

She took Lawrence out of her subspace pouch, placed him on her chair, and then quickly tied her hands and feet. Then she slapped him on the left cheek very hard.

-Wow!

The crackling sound was loud enough to fill the room. Then Lawrence immediately opened her eyes. As soon as he saw Lucia in front of him, she started screaming.

“Quiet. Why is this guy so loud?”

As soon as Lucia frowned, Lawrence immediately swallowed her scream. Instead, he started begging for his life

“Jeez, please, Sasa, please save me…” ” …”

“Isn’t it too tight?”

To Lawrence, who was crawling through the abyss of despair, Lucia looked as if she had just gone for a walk.

Lucia went to the workbench and retrieved one of her awls, and Lawrence, noticing this, started wriggling her body. However, her hands and feet were tightly bound, so she ended up resisting in vain.

Lucia crushed Lawrence’s thigh with her own left knee. She looked down at Lawrence with only the corners of her mouth raised.

“Because there is an order from His Majesty. “He told me to do some work on you.”

“Now, work?”

“Yes.”

Lucia smiled her eyes happily. She aimed the awl in her hand at Lawrence’s forehead. Lawrence was so frightened that he even swallowed her breath.

“When you dared to kidnap Her Majesty the late Empress, our children killed all of your subordinates. But if you say that straight out in the courtroom, it gets a little difficult.”

“…”

“Answer.”

“Yes, yes!”

Lawrence hurriedly shook her head.

“So, I’d like you to slightly change her testimony when she stands as a witness? It’s like being attacked by the imperial family’s elite knights.”

“Okay, then… After testifying… “What will happen to me?”

Lawrence’s voice was shaking with fear, and Lucia actually enjoyed it.

“Since you participated directly, you probably won’t be able to avoid execution. But if I testify accurately, maybe I can avoid execution?”

“Is it possible to avoid execution?”

Lucia stepped behind her and studied Lawrence’s expression. The moment she noticed the hope in his eyes, she smiled to herself. But she didn’t show it at all on the outside,

“If done well.”

She answered in a cool tone.

Then Lawrence’s expression gradually brightened.

‘Okay. In times like these, it’s not a bad idea to have hope.’

“Well, I guess you understood this well, right?”

Lucia asked again for confirmation, and Lawrence gave her the answer she wanted. Lucia nodded her head with a satisfied expression on her face.

Then, turning the awl she was holding a few times in her hand, she approached Lawrence.

“So, for the first time in a while, let me check the space between your fingernails.”

“Now, wait a minute! I said I would do whatever you want…”

“What are you talking about? “Don’t you think about the sins you committed?”

“Sasa, save me…” ” …”

“I’ve never seen anyone die from just a prick between their fingernails.”

Afterwards, only the man’s screams of pain rang out within the secret base.

* * *

As soon as Cecilia secured the recruits of Matthew, the knight of Marlborough, who went by the pseudonym M, and Lawrence, the head of the Black Knife Guild who carried out the kidnapping of the Empress, she ordered them to be immediately locked in the dungeons of the imperial palace. Br＞

“Luke. The trial will be held in three days, so prepare well.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

In addition, Cecilia also told me that she intended to conduct the proceedings near the execution site rather than the court in the imperial palace.

“I plan to disclose it to the citizens of the country.”

The reason this trial is being made public is probably for the purpose of bringing shame to the Marquis of Marlborough and the Duke of Montersen.

In addition, the background of the times in which the scene of someone being executed was itself something of a spectacle may have played a role.

“Yes, I understand.”

“Here, I wrote down what I need. If you think you need more, feel free to add it.”

I received the note Cecilia handed me with her own two hands.

After leaving her office and checking the contents of her note, I could immediately sense that Cecilia had made up her mind this time.

There was not a single judge to assist her in this trial. It was written that she herself would preside over this trial, and that she would also be in full charge of its proceedings.

I expected it to some extent, but I never thought I would be the one to conduct the trial.

The only thing Flora and Mulia could do was to assist her.

‘And I am the clerk of this trial…’

In addition, instructions for table and seating arrangements, projection devices to be used as evidence, and all necessary tools were listed. It seemed clear that one of the several tools would be very useful in this trial.

This single note contains the results of Cecilia’s many thoughts

Well, since I was tired of just doing paperwork, it was actually better for me to take on field work.

“First of all, I must first deliver the news to the palace judge.”

I put the note in my jacket pocket and walked straight away.

Even if we exclude the judges from attending this trial, we need their help to decorate the area near the execution site like a trial site.

* * *

Three days passed as Cecilia had predicted, and the day of trial arrived. But not even a ray of sunlight entered the dungeon.

Marlboro, Montersen, and Theorod were lying face down on the floor, fast asleep.

Even on the first night, they thought they would not be able to sleep well in such a dirty and uncomfortable place. However, it is said that humans are animals of adaptation.

The stench that permeated the dungeon no longer felt like a stench, and somehow I was able to sleep even on the hard floor.

-Cheolkeong.

As soon as they heard the sound of the heavy iron door opening, they woke up. The people who entered the dungeon were the imperial deputy knight commander and his subordinates.

The deputy commander ordered two of his subordinates to prepare to take out the two criminals imprisoned in the opposite prison, then headed to the prison where Marlboro, Montersen, and Theorod were imprisoned.

“You will now go to the court.”

The deputy commander announced in a cold voice to the three men sitting with blank faces. Then he gestured towards his two subordinates.

The men opened the prison door and went inside.

“We have to go to the court, so I will tie your hands.”

“…”

There is no point in resisting here anyway.

The three men obediently held out their hands as instructed by the knights. The knights instantly bound the wrists of the three men with thick ropes. After that, they were connected with another rope, and the appearance was reminiscent of a sweet potato stem.

One of the knights grabbed the rope that was hung in front of Montersen and dragged them out of the prison. After that, I handed the line over to the deputy commander.

The deputy commander grabbed the rope and glared at Montersen with cold eyes.

“Follow me.”

The deputy commander soon turned to face them and pulled them with strong force.

Montersen was infuriated by his lack of consideration for himself. However, he endured it by clenching his molars.

‘First of all, it is important to receive the maximum possible sentence in this trial.’

He thought back to the strategy he had remembered a few days ago. All the fault was passed on to the Marquis of Marlborough.

And, the Marquis of Marlborough was also thinking of the same strategy as Montersen.

‘I have to somehow claim that this old man told me to do it.’

Eventually, they left the dungeon and were taken on a wagon to the execution site where the judge was located. When they arrived at the trial, the deputy commander led them to kneel at the defendant’s table.

Afterwards, Lawrence and Matthew, who were both witnesses and involved parties, arrived at the trial.

Cecilia looked at them with cold eyes and then opened her mouth to her audience.

“Let the trial begin.”
