“know. “He only believes in his sister’s brightness, can’t tell his poop and urine, and his installation is disgusting trash.”
“… under. It’s not like you don’t know my sister. But is this foolish? Confucius, I don’t want to say harsh things to you, so please stop right now. “If you finish it here, I’ll let you go.”
A confident attitude despite being exposed to sin.
They showed how high the status of the duchess on their backs was,
“I didn’t know that the Duchess’s power surpassed that of His Majesty the Emperor.”
“… what?”
“Here is the number of citizens who died because of your illegal actions.”
Ban took out another document and showed it.
The data requested from Emily shows the number of citizens who have died for unknown reasons after drinking tap water in recent years.
There were over 100 people.
“You have killed over 100 of His Majesty’s subjects.”
“Oh, that’s ridiculous… No matter how much illegal waste we dumped in the capital, we are not responsible for those deaths… .”
It was a correct plea, but
“Is there any evidence that it wasn’t your fault?”
“!!”
“You can protest to the Emperor if you wish, but I doubt that the Emperor will side with you and not with the Ecclesia, who are his loyal subjects.”
Viscount Conrad’s face turned pale.
I realized Ban’s intention.
Now, Ban is repaying Revel in the same way as what he suffered.
“Are you really doing this because of a beggar student named Rebel? “I think my son made a mistake. I’ll tell him to go and apologize.”
“No, there is no need for an apology. If you fall, your children will also be properly punished for the mistakes they made this time. “At the very least, you will be suspended indefinitely or expelled.”
Their complexion has now turned into that of a corpse.
I quietly looked at those guys and said.
“There is only one way for you to avoid the death penalty.”
“… what?”
“Attest that everything you did was under the Duchess’ instructions.”
“!!”
‘I told you that I was trying to get Rebel to curse at me.’
It wasn’t exactly revenge I was seeking, but I think I was very angry too. Seeing it gives me a refreshing feeling.
“What nonsense?”
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it. All you have to do is cover up all your sins.”
They hesitated.
There was no way they would dare sell the duchess.
“If you don’t like it, quit. The love you have for your sister is amazing. “I doubt the Duchess would care for you that much, though.”
Viscount Konrad clenched his fists.
Viscount Conrad knew best that Duchess Bess would not protect him until the end.
Rather, in the worst case scenario, there was a high possibility that they would send an assassin to cut off his tail.
“Then, I’ll just go. Next time we meet will be in court. “Still, let’s petition to be especially compassionate and hanged with the softest rope possible.”
“Now, wait a minute!!”
Viscount Conrad said through gritted teeth.
“… Professor Ban, I will say whatever you want.”
The real goal of the class.
It was the moment when the noose was thrown around Duchess Bess’s neck.
* * *
At that time, Duchess Bess was elegantly drinking tea at the mansion of a magical family.
His face is calm as he hasn’t heard any news yet.
However, when a knock was heard, her mood turned cold.
“… “Mom, can I come in?”
The only person in this world who can call her mother.
It was her daughter, Joanna, whom she gave birth to due to a stomachache.
However, even though she was the daughter she loved so much, Duchess Bess’ eyes did not contain the slightest warmth.
Joanna’s mood was also strange.
From Noble mtl dot com
The cocky appearance he showed to his class was completely intimidating.
“Joanna, my beloved and only daughter. “You know how much this mother loves Joanna, right?”
“… yes.”
“Do you know why this mother called me?”
“… yes.”
“What are these grades?”
A voice that is so cold and eerie.
“It’s my first test after entering school, and I only tied for first place.”
“Well, that’s… I wasn’t feeling well that day… .”
Wow!
Joanna’s face turned around at the stroke of her hand.
Joanna’s face turned bright red, but perhaps because she was used to it, Joanna didn’t even look surprised and just quietly lowered her head.
“Are you saying such pathetic words are just an excuse? How to break this mother’s heart. “Put your skirt up.”
Joanna’s expression was filled with fear.
However, as if he had given up, he raised the hem of his clothes, and a terrible sight appeared.
Both my calves and thighs were full of ugly scars.
The scars appear layer after layer on top of the open wound.
It is a sign of countless beatings over a long period of time.
“Joanna, you know this is all because I love you, right?”
“… “Yes, mother.”
The Duchess held up a wooden whip that had been specially treated with magic and was stronger than steel.
It was the moment when Joanna closed her eyes tightly from the searing pain of her skin being torn.
“Ma’am, this is a big deal!”
“What happened? “Didn’t I tell you not to come in when Joanna and I were alone?”
“Well, that…” “It’s because of Professor Ban.”
Next to me, Joanna looked surprised.
‘Professor Ban? ‘Banregi?’
It was the culprit that caused her to fall into a slump recently.
-It’s okay to fail.
Ban’s last words continued to disturb her.
‘What do you know about how I lived?’
Joanna bit her lip.
“Why Professor Ban? “Didn’t my brother, Viscount Conrad, decide to take care of it?”
“Well, that…” “There is a problem.”
The governess whispered, and Duchess Bess’ eyes widened.
Ujikkeun!
The wooden whip, which was stronger than steel, shattered at once.
“dare!! “What a piece of trash!”
However, something happened that upset her even more.
“Boo, ma’am. “A guest has arrived.”
“Send it back immediately!”
“Well, that’s anti-Confucius.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
The moment she heard the next words, the Duchess’ face became distant with anger.
“They say they have come to punish your wife as the instigator of the illegal magic stone incident that occurred in the Free City.”
* * *
I looked around the extravagant drawing room.
‘How much are all these decorations? Even if you take just one and sell it, your life will be saved.’
The reason I was thinking nonsense was because I was that nervous.
‘Ugh. Finally, you have come this far. It was a place I never wanted to come to. Especially with Duchess Bess, I had no intention of even brushing against the hem of her clothes.’
Witch of cruelty.
Although she was a duchess, she was a super-named villain who proudly occupied the throne of the Abyss.
‘But, we have to settle the matter this time. Otherwise, you’ll continue to get entangled.’
Meanwhile, Sir Gordon, who came with me without even knowing my anxious and nervous feelings, expressed his admiration.
“Oh oh! That’s amazing. I can’t believe he looked so calm even after entering the tiger’s den. “Hey Gordon, I’m impressed with you again.”
“Senior class, you are so trustworthy. So can I just go back? “I have graduate school assignments left.”
“Is it okay to just go back like Assistant Linden said? mother… No, the Duchess is a really scary person.”
“I… “I think it would be best for me to just go back.”
Each group member made a fuss.
For your information, this time I brought along not only Guard Captain Gordon, Lyndon, and Hans, but also Catherine and Rivelle.
‘Because they are the parties involved in this matter.’
It was then.
grasp!
The door to the living room opened roughly.
“Who is this? Isn’t this the Ecclesia family’s one-day puppy? “Did you come because you wanted to die?”
Duchess Bess appeared with bright eyes.
Perhaps it was because of his anger, but he was revealing his energy without hiding it in the slightest.
‘An energy as strong as that of a puppet.’
My body stiffened, like a rat facing a snake, but the Black Flame Dragon helped me.
-The Black Flame Dragon is angry at the opponent’s wrongful persecution!
-Expresses a more intense sense of intimidation!
Paaat!
Even the Duchess looked surprised at the Black Flame Dragon’s more ferocious spirit than usual.
I lifted my chin.
“Kill me. If you want to try it, do it. “If you want to see a famous magic family reduced to ashes.”
“… what?”
“I am here as a special envoy representing His Majesty the Emperor. “Duchess, no matter how indiscreet you are as a member of the Abyss, I believe you understand how serious a crime it is to murder His Majesty’s envoy.”
The Duchess gave an expression that made no sense, but Lord Gordon stepped out from her side.
“Professor Ban has been fully entrusted with the authority to resolve this case by Mariam, the mayor of the Free City. “The owner of the Free City is His Majesty the Emperor, so Professor Ban can be said to have the same status as His Majesty’s special envoy.”
The Duchess trembled her hands.
He wants to grind me to death right now, but he can’t seem to.
However, she is no ordinary great person. I soon found my composure.
“… I think I underestimated you, half Confucius. It’s pretty good. So what do you want? “I’m sure you’re not mistaken in thinking that you can truly do something to me.”
Arrogant voice.
Unlike Viscount Conrad, who was clearly a petty bastard, it was impossible to bring down the Duchess over something like this.
“I came to make a deal. We also don’t want to offend Duke Alfonso, the head of the famous magic family. According to the conditions I have proposed, Madam, I will end this matter as an act committed by Viscount Konrad on his own.”
He will be sentenced to death by hanging.
Even though her brother died, the Duchess did not blink.
“What if it’s a condition?”
“I know that it was the duchess’s instigation to harm my students. I swear I will never do something like this again, and since the parties here are here, please apologize in person, Madam.”
“You want me to apologize? dare!!”
The Duchess’ face heated up with anger.
However, my real request was different.
“And from now on, please do not interfere with the education of my student Catherine.”
“… what?”
“It means giving up the right to education for Catherine.”
This is a concept that arose from many cases of children being ruined through incorrect education.
When a person is deprived of their right to education, their child’s education must be entirely entrusted to academies and public institutions.
‘Because they will put all kinds of obstacles to Catherine’s growth under the pretext of her right to education. ‘You have to block it in advance.’
“I am the professor in charge of Catherine’s class. “You may know this, but it is the exclusive authority of academy professors to deprive children of their right to education if their parents are not qualified.”
Of course, there was no way I would just accept it.
“You’re telling a funny story. I’m not qualified? “Are you such an idiot to me, a 7-star master level wizard?”
“Would you like to make a bet?”
“… what?”
“I’m going to perform a magic trick on your wife.”
I twitched the corners of my mouth unluckily and took a gamble.
“If you can block my magic, I will pretend the conversation just never happened. Of course, there is no way she can block my magic.”
“!!”
“I will teach you what truly great magic is.”
