Reverse Heaven Trial – 3
“Blood bondage is a force that exerts absolute force on low-ranking vampires. Since the sect directly controls the blood of the family, it takes away the ability and will to rebel. A descendant can never betray his lord. One.”
Voices, voices.
Some vampires looked at Tyr, wondering if they should cover his mouth even now. However, Tyr listened to Lir without much restraint. With the founder’s tacit permission, Lir continued his speech.
“My father hoped that my mother would rebel and break the bondage of blood and stand on her own. Only then will she be able to taste her mother’s blood again as a gourmet. Turn her mother into a demi-human, and turn me, with whom I share blood, into a Yale ring. They tried to turn the tables on me by twisting the chain and the hierarchy by giving me blood again and turning me into an Ain. Not only that, they forced us to try to reverse course.”
Breaking the chain above was somewhat of a shock, but it was acceptable. Because it is understandable that the person who put the bridle on takes the money.
However, a family member who is bound by a shackle cannot free himself from it. They also had relatives, and when a family member commits a rebellion, it means that the limbs run wild. I can’t be happy that my hands and feet move as they please.
The vampires looked at Lir with cold eyes.
“… In the end, it ended up strangling my father. My father finally proved his abilities. “Because you were destroyed by my hands.”
Perhaps because he was reading public sentiment, Lir did not mention the method.
Well, is that really a wise choice? On the contrary, wouldn’t you have thought that vampires would try to kill even more before that method was introduced?
Or does it have nothing to do with whether you die or not?
The words from earlier were strange. I thought he was filing a lawsuit because he wanted to survive, but all he did was confess his father’s sins one by one in the courtroom. Even if it’s an Elder scandal, a scandal is a scandal. Lir’s purpose was to undermine the prestige of a person who had already perished.
There’s something subtly twisted about that person. Although they are very interested in the life and death of others, they are aloof from their own life and death. Even now, I don’t feel any fear of death.
“If I am a sinner who dared to commit reverse heaven, then my father, who made me and my mother commit reverse heaven, is also a sinner!”
Quiet.
There was silence in the hall. After spitting out his long speech, Liir waited for the founder’s words without making any expression, like a vampire.
It was a truly unexpected fact, and all the vampires were surprised by this scandal… The results did not change.
“So. “It’s true that you killed Ruskinia.”
“So it is.”
“This trial is about uncovering the truth of Elder’s murder. It doesn’t matter what your circumstances are. “Because your circumstances do not determine the outcome.”
Like his founder, Tyr did not get caught up in minor scandals. Even though her heart beats again and she regains her senses, the years and experiences that have passed do not disappear. Tyr knew better than anyone else that he would be unable to make any judgment if he dwelled on every little detail.
The sin is clear. Tyr spoke quietly, but solemnly enough for everyone to hear.
“Nothing has changed. I will sentence the criminal Lir Nightingale….”
“I have an objection.”
The voice came from close by. Tyr hurriedly turned around as if he had been unexpectedly attacked. In her gaze… There I was, holding her hand out in front of her.
“Whew?”
“Tir. Different. “Things have changed.”
“Have you changed? What?”
“That statement now. If a series of statements are true… “This trial is overturned from the beginning.”
Plod along. I went down to the podium. Standing tall in front of the defendant, I looked up at Tyr and asked.
“Respected Judge. According to Lyre Nightingale’s claim, Elder Ruskinia also attempted to escape his bloody bondage. Do you have any extenuating circumstances about that?”
Tyr was a bit taken aback, but he calmly kept pace with me.
“Still, nothing changes. I am the only one who can judge the Elder. No matter what crime Ruskinia committed, she could not escape punishment as long as she killed the elder on her own. Aside from the fact that Luskinia, who died in the first place, could not be found guilty.”
“Only the founders can judge the elders? And what about Elder? Can’t the same Elder judge the Elder?”
As I spoke, I glanced back at Valdamir. He too is a vampire. I don’t see any signs of being agitated by what I say. Of course, seeing as I focus on my every move, I pay a lot of attention.
“Of course. Should an elder kill another elder?”
Then how about this? What is the truth hidden between the two criminals?
“What if it’s not the ‘other’ Elder?”
“… What?”
To a vampire, dependents are limbs and limbs. Inversion is the act of strangling one’s own neck by moving the limbs arbitrarily.
“You all know. That the family could not go against the suzerain. That’s why what Lir did is even more surprising and unbelievable.”
However, limbs are a part of oneself. What if a member of his family who shared his blood and controlled his body and mind moved and killed him?
“But what if you didn’t go against it?”
We decided to call it suicide.
“If the death of Prince Luskinia the Elder had been planned by him himself. How is it?”
An unfamiliar murmur is heard. Even a vampire with a cold heart could not remain silent in the face of my remarks. A chaotic atmosphere, and an inner feeling that is several times louder than that.
The trial, which was expected to result in only missing evidence, distorted memories, and a ruling based on the prevailing trend, turned into a completely unexpected situation. Inconceivable shouts erupt from all directions. The direction was mainly for blood relatives who lost their elders.
“This is nonsense!”
Ain, who had been shown having his upper and lower body removed by Valdamir earlier, shouted. She raised the feathers planted on her body and puffed up her whole body, and came in front of me with an intimidating appearance. I smiled and welcomed my partner.
“Oh, you’ve come to the other side. “Are you my opponent?”
“Vampire commits suicide? “Is that even possible?”
“You don’t seem to know much about me because I’m a vampire, but there are quite a few people in the world who attempt suicide or similar attempts.”
“Only a weak and foolish person would do that. Prince Ruskinia is definitely not like that! “The powerful and cruel Prince Ruskinia chose to perish for himself!”
“Well, I don’t know. There is no law that says that weak and foolish people must do that. Climbing a dizzying cliff with your bare hands, challenging an opponent you can’t beat to a duel, or charging into the middle of an enemy army with a short sword. “Those who want to test their limits throw themselves into danger.”
A crazy elder who planted feathers on her descendants, doubled her arm joints, and glued her skin to make her fly like a bat would not hesitate to twist the bonds of her blood.
“From what I heard, the late Mr. Ruskinia was also a very challenging person. What do you think? “Is the Prince Ruskinia you know someone who would attempt something like that?”
“Huh. It’s just a heartache. “There is no evidence anywhere.”
A vampire was still a vampire. She did not get caught up in my words and accurately pointed out her blind spots.
“All you say is the possibility that it could happen. As you said, the Duke of Ruskinia doesn’t seem strange no matter what he does. If it’s him, there’s a possibility, that’s an obvious fact… But.”
Ain pointed his finger at Lire and said.
“Lir Nightingale. She doesn’t even have to consider the possibility if she’s her culprit. She had a motive, she tried, and she actually took the blood of the Duke of Ruskinia. She even confessed her own sins! It is clear that she is her own.”
The vampires who were listening nodded to her. As if to add to that opinion, I heard choo-imsae such as ‘yes’ and ‘clearly’. Ain carried her audience on her back and bowed toward her ancestor.
“With all due respect, I doubt the motives of the concubine obscuring the point here. She hopes that the founder will be clear and judge.”
“Umm….”
‘I’m sorry about Hugh, but there is no mistake in their opinion. Merely presenting a possibility does not overturn judgment. If you wanted to save that child so much, you should have given me a word in advance. If I did, I could tell Valdamir and Kabila to acquit them.’

Huh? As I said in advance, was it just innocent? Her idea was so novel that it didn’t even occur to me. That is possible when you reach the level of Sijo.
Don’t worry. I didn’t volunteer to defend Lir in order to save her. To know the truth.
The truth is important. Curiosity cannot be satisfied with lies.
“Motivation. Trial. Evidence. “The defendant said he had all three.”
The three grounds mentioned by Ain are valid. If this were a military court, it would have found him guilty, even without the fact that the guilt was based on performance.
But this is a principality. A country of vampires.
“I will use my power to deny that basis.”
“Ability?”
“Yes. “By ability.”
The clan cannot go against the suzerain, and cannot even think of doing so.
In this country where complete control is exercised.
“The descendants had the intention of rebelling against the suzerain. That was an attempt. Everything that was successful and achieved success. “Lir Nightingale wouldn’t have been able to do it on her own.”
