Episode 201: Mixed Joy and Joy

“Her Majesty, Empress Cecilia.”

The moment Montersen started crying, I thought his fingers were bending like squid.

There was a time when he walked around holding his head high as the head of the noble faction…

Since this was a trial where Cecilia would make all the decisions, she had no choice but to lie as flat as possible if she wanted to survive, but it felt somehow disgusting that she showed an attitude that was 180 degrees different from what she had shown so far.

I checked Cecilia’s expression her just in case.

“…”

She didn’t say anything, but her brows narrowed. Flora and Mulia, who were waiting next to her, didn’t look very good either.

But Montersen didn’t care at all and began to make her case.

“What Horneon Marlboro said a moment ago contained some lies.”

“No, Your Majesty! “I only know the truth!”

“Shut your mouth, Marquis.”

Cecilia raised her right hand to interrupt Marlboro’s remarks her her her her. Marlboro showed an expression of great resentment, but Cecilia did not pay him any attention.

Looking at the defendant’s chair, Montersen was also glaring at Marlboro.

Since we are walking on thin ice, we have no choice but to react sensitively to even the smallest thing, and even more so, if someone interrupts us while we are speaking, we will get angry.

‘This is what the Buddhist scenery across the river looks like.’

It’s such a shame that there’s no popcorn at times like this.

“Tell me which of the Marquis’ statements are false, Duke Howard Montersen.”

Cecilia ordered in a cold tone. Montersen took a moment to catch his breath and then spoke again.

“I never ordered the kidnapping of Your Majesty the Former Empress first, Your Majesty! “The person who first suggested the idea of kidnapping Her Majesty the Empress was none other than Marquis Horneon Marlborough!”

The judge was in a state of turmoil again.

In the end, the most important issue came to mind here.

Who first claimed the kidnapping of Empress Olivia?

… But if you think about it, they both agreed on it and put it into practice.

While thinking about that, I wrote down what Montersen said on paper. Meanwhile, Cecilia opened her mouth.

“But the important thing is, didn’t the Duke and Marquis finally agree to kidnap the former Empress? “Answer me, Duke and Marquis.”

“…”

“…”

As expected, Cecilia had the same thoughts as me.

In the meantime, the two men became completely dumb.

“I have never given you permission to remain silent.”

Even without looking back, I could roughly imagine what kind of expression Cecilia would be making. There was a chill like frost in his voice

In the end, the two men responded that it was correct.

“Duke. Is there anything more to say?”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Montersen lowered his gaze to the ground. However, she quickly raised her head and looked up at Cecilia.

The eyes are still alive.

He must be struggling to get sentencing somehow. Just like Marlboro did a little while ago.

* * *

“I will tell you only the facts, Your Majesty.”

Montersen took on a serious tone. Then he shook his head again.

It was somewhat expected that Marlboro would perjure himself in this way. So he had a plan to hand over everything to Marlboro, if possible.

In fact, he had no direct involvement in this kidnapping incident.

However, Cecilia made a painful point a little while ago. As a result, she also agreed to the kidnapping of Empress Sun, so she was involved in the incident.

‘We need to change the strategy.’

Here, he had an ominous feeling that if he made a false statement, something bad would happen to him.

Montersen decided to state only the true facts.

“Your majesty. As I mentioned before, the person who first suggested I kidnap the late Empress was Marquis Horneon Marlborough. And I instructed them to take care of this and take care of it. Therefore, I cannot say that I am not responsible. “

“Why did you tell me to do my best?”

Cecilia’s sharp retort pierced his waist. This made Montersen feel uncomfortable inside, but he put a lot of strength into his whole body to not show it.

“Well, that’s… ” …”

Monte Lessen followed off for a moment. But since he had come this far, face was not important.

He had a family to take responsibility for. And, although unreliable, his precious son is also being held captive.

Only if you come to your senses, you can avoid the worst situation of losing your head.

“To have my son, Theorde Montersen, become your Majesty’s Minister of State… ” … “I was thinking of using it as an excuse.”

However, even though he promised not to worry about saving face, he couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable when he tried to reveal this in a gathering of many people.

“Hmm…”

Cecilia let out her soft voice, resting her chin and looking down at the defendant.

“So, that’s what Duke Xiao said to me during the Emperor Jianguo’s banquet?”

“Your majesty. Theorod simply did as I told him. “If there is any fault, it is mine, not Theorod.”

Montersen fell flat on the floor.

Then Theorod immediately mounted his horse. He was usually oblivious, but this time he realized that appealing like this was the way to survive.

“Mom, that’s right! I knew nothing! “I just did what my father told me.”

Montersen looked at his son from the corner of his eye. Theorod, like Montersen, fell flat on the floor and was about to hit his forehead.

‘But I’m doing well today.’

“The Duke of Theorde Montersen. “There is something I want to ask.”

Cecilia glanced towards Theorod. Looking down at the top of her absent-minded man’s head she only gave her a subtle sense of displeasure.

However, since she was the judge, she did not show those emotions on her face.

“Do you still harbor an unholy desire to become a state secretary?”

“Uh oh, none! How could a lowly person like me dare to harbor such disloyal feelings towards Your Majesty? …”

The status of a minor duke was actually very high, but Theorod tried to humble himself somehow.

“Duke Howard Montersen. And Duke Theorde Montersen. “Can you swear to God Gordeus that what you have said so far is true?”

In response to Cecilia’s question, the father and son immediately answered that they could swear.

Next, she fired a question at Lawrence, who had never opened his mouth before. Starting with how she contacted Matthew, how she planned and carried out the kidnapping of Empress Sun, etc.

Lawrence answered very specifically, even though she occasionally stuttered.

“I think I heard everything.”

Cecilia looked down at her victim and witness stood with her cold eyes.

“However, it will be necessary to verify whether the sinners here really told the truth as they swore to God.”

Everyone became very nervous when the word’verification’came out of her mouth. Either way, Cecilia gestured to Mulia.

“You should prepare the lie detector right now.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

* * *

‘What? Lie, detector?’

For a moment, Marlboro’s mind went blank.

Meanwhile, Mulia carefully placed the lie detector in her arms on the nightstand in the middle of the courtroom.

The onlookers began to murmur as an object they had never seen before appeared.

Cecilia silenced the commotion by raising her right hand. She then lifted herself up from the throne and walked towards the nightstand. Flora quickly caught up with her.

Finally, Cecilia came to her nightstand and lightly placed her hand on her lie detector.

“Let me explain to you how this lie detector works!”

Cecilia raised her voice as high as possible so that the onlookers could hear her.

The principle of operation of her detector, she explained, was very simple. After inserting her wrist into the circular hole in the center, it glowed red and blue depending on the answer to her question.

After explaining that red meant lies and blue meant truth, Cecilia gave orders to her knights.

“Bring in the sinners!”

The drivers headed straight to the defendant’s and witness’ seats. They roughly pulled the ropes that tied the criminal.

As he got closer to the lie detector, Marlboro felt his heart pounding harder.

‘I can’t believe that b*tch has prepared something like this…’

You talked about swearing to God Gordeus, but in the end you said you would go through a verification process!

Marlboro realized that he had caught his eye. But he couldn’t see any way out.

Because he didn’t think much of anything other than passing all responsibility on to Montersen.

Meanwhile, Montersen was rather relieved.

At least he didn’t make a false statement to Cecilia. So, there will be no mishaps where the device glows red.

The first person to put his wrist inside the lie detector was Lawrence, the guild leader of the Black Knives.

Cecilia asked several questions based on her statement. Each time Lawrence gave her answer, the semi-sphere on her lie detector’s head lit up with blue lights.

“Next.”

Next is Matthew.

She asked if Cecilia really did what Marlborough told her to do.

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“It’s a blue light.”

Next, Theorod’s turn came, and Cecilia asked him again if he would be willing to become her state secretary. When Theorod answered that there was no more, a blue light immediately came on.

Soon it was Duke Howard Montersen’s turn.

Marquess Horneon Marlborough had a burning desire to run away. However, since both of his arms he were being held by the knights, it was not easy to even twist his body, let alone escape.

“Duke. Did the Duke really hear about the plan to kidnap the late Empress from the Marquis of Marlborough?”

“Yes, Your Majesty. Before the Marquis of Marlborough spoke up, I had not even thought of kidnapping Her Majesty the late Empress.”

The light that enters the lie detector is blue.

“Did you try to use Empress Shen as a hostage to encourage her to bring Duke Xiao into her state?”

“It’s a shame, but yes.”

Blue light again.

Besides that, Cecilia asked a few more questions, and Montersen answered them without hesitation.

Even the results all ended in blue.

“The next one is the last one.”

“…”

‘If you get caught in the trap of that question, you can’t escape.’

Marlboro braced his feet to avoid being dragged away, but was helpless against the might of the knights. In the end, Marlboro had his right wrist inserted into a lie detector.

I wanted to take his hand away from him, but I couldn’t because the knights were holding on from both sides.

Now all that’s left for him is to give a truthful answer to Cecilia’s question.

However, retracting the statement made earlier was essentially admitting that he had committed perjury.

“As the Marquis knows, there is a point where the Duke’s and the current statement diverge. And the duke answered every question truthfully.”

Marlboro swallowed thickly. The trembling of his fingertips he did not stop.

However, Cecilia did not show the slightest mercy.

“Are you sure that the Marquis planned the kidnapping of the late Empress?”

External numbers came in from the beginning.

Marlboro closed his mouth and rolled his head. But no matter how she answered, the fact that she was at a disadvantage did not change.

“Marquis. “Don’t test my patience.”

The knights next to him also urged him to answer quickly.

‘Ugh…’

“It’s true that Duke Montersen told me to do it.”

As soon as Marlboro finished speaking, a red light flashed on the detector.

“You were right in trying to kidnap my mother.”

Marlboro’s heart sank when he received Cecilia’s cold gaze from her.

It’s over…

Marlboro truly felt what it felt like to have her eyes turn dark.
