Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1377. Stop interfering in internal affairs.

Elio glanced at Fabian.

He thought Baron Sophia’s appointment was strange, but he knew why he didn’t doubt it.

As a result, it was good for me, so I didn’t worry about it.

But why did the Adria kingdom get rid of Baron Sophia?

They worked tirelessly to pair Baron Sophia with Fabian.

And finally Baron Sophia got pregnant.

The kingdom of Adria became what they hoped for, but they suddenly abandoned Baron Sophia.

‘Even predicting that Fabian wouldn’t dig deep into it.’

Curious, but not impatient.

He would find out anyway when he went to Krasion Castle and met the chancellor.

Royal Krasion.

central hall.

Raoul Brosnan, King of the Adria Kingdom, looked around at the King and his representatives who responded to the urgent invitation.

The Shade Kingdom and the Urum Kingdom were directly attended by the king, while the Tamim Kingdom and the Astania Kingdom sent ‘a representative of the king’s full authority’.

The King of the Shade Kingdom was staying in Krasion, so it was natural, but the King of the Ureum Kingdom was a bit unexpected.

King Raoul Brosnan thought that Ureum Kingdom would send an agent like Tamim or Astania.

In any case, it was a good result for an urgent request due to the circumstances of the Adria Kingdom.

King Raoul Brosnan winked at the chancellor, the Marquis Carloman Blas.

As if he had waited, Marquis Carlo Roman Blas stepped forward.

After bowing silently to the kings and the ‘king’s representative’, he explained the secret deal with the Mage Tower that was entangled in Baron Sophia’s warrior and the catastrophic situation it had brought about.

“…so Count Lagoa is on his way to Krasion Castle. It’s understandable that you’re upset that Baron Sophia, who is pregnant with Baron Cloud’s child, has been scrapped. But isn’t it too much to interfere in the internal affairs of the warring kingdom of Adria? There have been many deaths from the Adrian royal family as well as from our bloodlines. The same may be true of the royal and great noble families of the various southern kingdoms. But we take it as a natural duty of nobles.”

The chancellor paused for a moment and looked at the atmosphere.

Kings and ‘king’s plenipotentiaries’ were nodding their heads.

After confirming the positive response, the chancellor slowly got to the point.

“The Grand Master, Earl of Lagoa, seems to think that his vassal is more valuable than the royal family or great nobles of the Southern Kingdom. That’s why he’s trying to find out about the death of his vassal’s woman. Count Lagoa, despite having nothing to do with the Kingdom of Adria… The chief of staff of the Skull Corps was summarily executed and the commander of the Corps was relieved of his position. His next targets are me, the prime minister, and the king of Adria Kingdom.”

“….”

A heavy silence pressed down on the concourse.

“I earnestly make a request to His Majesty the King and representatives of the full power. Please stand on the side of our Adrian kingdom. If you do, I will share the Iron Golem of Adria with your kingdom.”

The prime minister’s initial plan was to distribute the steel golems.

However, it was changed to shared because it was pointed out that scattering steel golems too much would weaken them.

The words ‘I will share the steel golem’ sparked the eyes of the kings and their plenipotentiaries.

“After the spread of Accytium, the Empire no longer pays attention to Count Lagoa. However, in our southern realm, there is still no means to check the Grand Master’s tyranny. Count Lagoa must have known that and came out like that. However, sooner or later we will have strategic weapons like the Imperial Army. At that time, you don’t have to keep an eye on Count Lagoa anymore. Until then, the southern kingdoms must stand united against the tyranny of Count Lagoa. Now that relations with the Empire have deteriorated, the only place friendly to the Countess of Lagoa is our southern kingdom. If we speak with one voice, Count Lagoa will no longer be able to run wild. Judging from the actions of the Count of Lagoa so far, interference in the internal affairs of the Adria Kingdom will not occur. We, the southern kingdoms, must take this opportunity to show our resolute will to the Countess of Lagoa. Don’t interfere in the internal affairs of the Southern Kingdom! Don’t get involved in the affairs of Adri and the kingdom!”

The kings and the ‘king’s plenipotentiaries’ applauded in unison.

A satisfied smile crept across King Raoul Brosnan’s lips.

Actually, this was a predictable ending.

Count Helio Lagoa is the Grand Master, the pinnacle of knighthood.

However, as the excitium is released, knights and wizards are in the process of falling.

It was not long before a strategic weapon similar to Excitium would be supplied to the Southern Kingdom.

From then on, the southern kingdoms did not have to look at the Grand Master’s notice.

In the coming world, not strong knights, but strong armies would stand at the pinnacle of power.

***

Noon the next day.

After leaving Servo, Elio and his party finally arrived at Krasion Castle.

Elio and his party immediately went to the capital without a break.

Entering the central hall, Elio looked around lightly.

I thought there would be King Raoul Brosnan and Prime Minister, but there were surprisingly many people.

The Prime Minister, Marquis Carlo Roman Blas, introduced the two kings and the two ‘representatives of the king’s power’ to Elio and his party.

After greeting each other, Marquis Carloman Blas opened his mouth.

“Even otherwise, I tried to serve Count Lagoa in the name of the Confederation of Southern Kingdoms. You came just in time and not too late.”

“What’s up?”

Then, King Raoul Brosnan of the Adria Kingdom stepped forward.

“Because of what the count did in Servo. I heard that the Count dismissed the head of the Skull Corps and summarily judged the chief of staff. Is it all true?”

“So what?”

“Which king in the south gave Count Lagoa permission to do so? Do you not know that this is a serious interference in internal affairs?”

“aha!”

With a frivolous exclamation, Elio nodded his head.

Now, it seems that King Raoul Brosnan and Prime Minister are planning to drive Baron Sophia’s case into interference in internal affairs.

In hindsight, it wasn’t wrong.

Because he had nothing to do with the southern kingdom.

The king of Ureum Kingdom, who was observing the reaction of Count Elio Lagoa, spoke cautiously.

“I feel sorry for Count Sophia, Baron. But was Baron Sophia the only one who died in this war? I heard that more than 10 people were killed in the war in the Brosnan royal family and the Marquis Blas family. But no one takes issue with being killed. If you don’t think other royal families and great nobles are inferior to Baron Sophia, let’s cover it here. If we have an internal division over this issue, only the Imperial Army will like it.”

“Your Highness, Baron Sophia, was not killed in action, but was killed. Because the chancellor ordered Baron Sophia to be killed, the corps commander and chief of staff forced her to die. In the Southern Kingdom, that kind of thing is called a warrior?”

Then, this time, the plenipotentiary of King Tamim stepped forward.

“Earl, our southern kingdoms are at war with the Imperial Army right now. Have you ever thought that there would be an unavoidable reason for such a decision by the Prime Minister?”

“Do you have any reason to drive a noble loyal to the kingdom to death?”

“Prime Minister, please answer. Did I ask you to kill Baron Sophia out of personal feelings?”

Then, Marquis Carlo Roman Blas, Chancellor, shook his head excitedly.

“Baron Sophia and I don’t even know each other personally, so how can we do that out of personal feelings?”

King Tamim’s plenipotentiary turned to Count Lagoa.

“I guess so.”

Elio glared at the chancellor and said.

“good. Even if it wasn’t, I was curious the whole time. Tell me why you ordered the killing of Baron Sophia. I will decide whether to kill or save after hearing the answer.”

Marquis Carlo Roman Blas wet his dry lips with his tongue.

He instinctively knew that this was his last chance.

Count Elio Lagoa was a man who could kill himself in front of kings.

“The Imperial Army has finished organizing around the musketeers and supplied Excitium to the musketeers. Since then, the southern kingdom has not won a single battle. Half of the steel golems are either destroyed or rendered inoperable.”

“The introduction is long.”

“The Southern Kingdom Army is about to complete the development of a new weapon similar to Excitium. However, the southern kingdom is absolutely lacking magic guns to use the new weapon. Then, the Mage Tower contacted me saying they would sell magic guns. On the condition that Baron Sophia deal with it…”

“Which Mage Tower put forward such an evil condition?”

“I can’t tell you about that because it has to do with the safety of the kingdom.”

The chancellor didn’t teach it, fearing that Count Lagoa would visit the Mage Tower and cause trouble.

At the end of the story, the representative of the king of Astania spoke.

“We, the Southern Kingdoms, respect and support the decision of the Adria Kingdom. Count Lagoa, please refrain from interfering in the internal affairs of the Southern Kingdom.”

Elio looked back at Count Larva Omar with an absurd face.

Then Count Omar shrugged his shoulders with a puzzled face.

In this situation, there can be no sharp solution.

‘It was quite a mess.’

I guessed that there must be an unavoidable reason, but I thought that was the Mage Tower’s request!

Not getting the answer he expected from Count Omar, Elio turned his head to the chancellor again.

Seeing the chancellor standing there with an impudent face, ‘I was shocked!’ Anger rose up.

“So, ‘you broke your relationship with me for the sake of your relationship with the Mage Tower’?”

“…”

Marquis Carlo Roman Blas could not make excuses.

Although his words were extreme, they were right in the end.

“In other words, you killed Fabian’s wife because you were afraid of the Mage Tower more than me?”

“omg! That’s not it. Besides, isn’t someone else going to marry Baron Cloud?”

“I don’t know the future, and at the time you conspired to kill Baron Sophia, Fabian was about to marry Baron Sophia. yes? Fabian?”

At Elio’s question, Fabian reluctantly nodded.

“It is.”

As the conversation went in an unexpected direction, the king of Ureum Kingdom spoke.

“I repeat, we, the Southern Kingdoms, support the decision made by the Adria Kingdom. In the name of the Southern Kingdoms, please stop meddling in the internal affairs of the Adria Kingdom.”

“What if you can’t do that?”

At Elio’s question, the king of Ureum Kingdom frowned.

That’s why even a grand master would cross the line.

Either that or not, Elio turned around and faced the chancellor.

“Killing my vassal’s wife is the same as insulting me. You said it was because you needed a magic gun, but in reality you were taking me lightly. It’s understandable in an era where magic guns are treated more favorably than knights’ swords. But at times like this, if I stay still, I will become a real idiot.”

At the meaningful words of Count Lagoa, Marquis Carlo Roman Blas took a step back.

“Count Lagoa, calm down. If you kill me, the kingdoms of Adria and the southern kingdoms will not stand still.”

Marquis Carloman Blas glanced at the young King.

However, the conspirator, King Raoul Brosnan, avoided his gaze.

When the king, the only lifeline, turned away, the chancellor turned and ran away.

I just wanted to keep my face and live now.

Elio threw the silver candlestick nearby.

‘evil!’ With a sound, the chancellor with a silver candlestick stuck in the back of his head fell.

King Raoul Brosnan, enraged, grabbed the handle of his chair and swore.

‘I will always kill you.’
