start cleaning (2)
The carriage departing from the Juliet Palace diligently crossed the Imperial Palace.
-Ttogak, Ttogak, Ttogak…
The horses in thick winter clothes rolled their feet.
I remembered the treasure chests I had left in the living room (I haven’t had an in-depth conversation yet), and I checked whether the necessary items were properly packed in the ‘bag’.
Dry saliva passed through the tension.
I hate being punished. It was like that when I was young, and it is still the same today.
No, it’s strange to have someone you like in the first place!
“This is Thuzar Palace, Prince.”
Benjamin politely pointed out the window. I shook my head abruptly.
This was the place I decided to stop by on the way to the Imperial Palace.
“yes. I see Kristel over there.”
A smile was mixed in with the answer. She wasn’t the only one outside the palace.
Isabelle and Ellen were by their side, as were the Marquis François and his younger brothers.
The three families, including Baron Fabrice Verand, have already set their sights on our carriage.
Joan, who had not yet understood what it was, caught his eye.
By the time I found her, I was so happy that I burst out laughing.
It must be the first time at the Imperial Palace, what other inspirations would a genius painter get here?
– Hehehe!

Soon the carriage stopped. Canael opened the door.
I didn’t get off, I just reached out and said hello.
“Hello everybody. I’m here to ride with you.”
“Good morning, Prince Jesse. You have become a snowman!”
Seeing me wrapped up tightly from head to toe, Kristel hurriedly threw a word.
Isabelle laughed at her daughter’s remarks.
I was worried that the trial that was about to start would cause serious suffering, but on the surface, both of them seemed to be holding up well.
I don’t know, but they must have depended on each other a lot.
Just like the Duhem siblings did, and the Berang family did.
“Yeah, it’s nice to wear it like this because it’s not cold. It’s a little uncomfortable to move around.”
I answered politely.
‘Indeed, you are the one who will shake up the fashion of the imperial social circle!’ The Marquis trembled.
There was a burst of laughter once in a while. Because of the emperor’s consideration, everyone was dressed thickly.
“then······. Shall we leave right away?”
Canael looked around us and asked carefully. All eyes turned to Isabelle.
After a moment’s silence, she nodded, her dark eyes shining resolutely.
Soon everyone escorted each other into the heated wagon.
Even though it felt a little narrow, I wanted to move together as much as today.
“What, the carriage is as warm as Serenite! Was the prince dressed like he would roll around like that?”
“You can’t roll, Joan.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Sister Duhem and Elodie were very happy to hear our conversation.
‘Hey!’ Soon the door closed and the wagon started moving again.
The tightly lined Imperial Guard followed.
– Tackle, tuck tuck …
January 6, 1614 by the holy calendar.
Today is the day before the birthday of Emperor Frederic and the day of the judgment of the ‘Duke Simon de Sarnez case’.
I don’t know if that will be the final name of the case.
“Did the prince buy the carriage?”
“No, it’s an imperial carriage, and I decided to rent it for the winter.”
“Then it’s the prince’s car! You will ride every year!”
Maria came to a clear conclusion.
Sir Erbe looked at my complexion and politely called my brother.
It was natural to think that way, so I just laughed.
The Lister Palace has numerous annexes, each with a distinct purpose.
For example, Juliet’s Palace is a private space for me as a hostage to the new country, and Struda Palace is a place to receive distinguished guests, not the imperial family.
Speaking of Thuzar Palace, it was ‘a place for witnesses of the emperor’s trial’.
So it wasn’t as flashy as the stroda, and the sentry was more than double that of a regular palace.
It was possible to solve surveillance and protection at once, and it was convenient because it was close to the Imperial Palace.
During the last Ahre, most of the people involved in this case have stayed here.
He took a break, but I heard he was busy cooperating with the investigation in between.
“Isabel, did you get some sleep?”
I asked the woman sitting next to Kristel.
Isabelle and I got closer by boat from Cheboim, and started calling each other by name at her request.
It was only after a few days of haunting that I realized that.
Perhaps Isabelle had abandoned her title of ‘Duke of Sarnez’ in the winter sea.
“Yes, Prince. Thanks to you, I was able to rest without a dream.”
She answered with a beautiful smile. It was fortunate.

All his friends entered through the side door, and Benjamin and Canael could not enter from here.
I was the only one standing in front of the entrance to the audience that seemed to crush people.
The royal court attendant announced his position in a loud voice.
“Prince Jesse Penetian, Marquis of Serenite, eats it!”
– Koo!
With the loud noise of the door ringing, the people gathered in the room slowly appeared.
All eyes were focused on me. It took time to get used to it, but the back of my neck was always burning.
I moved forward, trying not to stumble.
The red carpet was as clean as new today.
-Tump, Todd, Todd…
This was the center of the Lister court.
It was a space where hundreds of nobles discussed state affairs in the palace, and sometimes fierce battles of flags and ridicule.
But today was surprisingly quiet.
To the right of the throne, the great nobles were lined up according to their titles and decorations, and to the left were the bishops and archbishops in uniforms.
It was the first time I had seen priests attend. Such an orderly appearance was also new.
Two of the three top seats were still empty.
The Crown Prince, who was getting closer, looked at me and tilted his head.
“You look like a beast with winter fur.”
Hey, you have to say
“See you again here.”
I replied briefly and took a seat in the chair below him.
I could feel his gaze glaring at me, but I ignored it lightly.
Undoing the scarf, taking off the earplugs and thumb gloves, and with the help of the attendant, I was about to get out of the thick beast hair robe and triple coat…
– Kwaang!
“Let the sinners in. Start right away.”
flinch. It was a familiar voice.
The emperor, who came in by kicking the door through which the royal family entered, escorted the cardinal and strode up the stairs.
At the husky command, the guards and servants moved busily.
All the clergy and nobles gave the most respectful tribute. I also got up and bowed my back.
I saw Sir John coming in escorting the two from behind.
– Whoa!
The front door opened as if waiting, and the silhouette of Sir Elizabeth and the Guard appeared.
She started walking fast, holding Simon de Sarnaise tied up tightly.
Behind the scenes, Archbishop Eugenie Kessie was brought in.
Both criminals were scruffy and poorly dressed.
The color contrasted sharply with the luxurious chandelier on the ceiling.
In particular, Duke Sarnez, even though his right face was covered by a mask, his face was so damaged that it was hard to see.
The chin and the nape of the neck were dirty from not shaving.
Wherever he had been imprisoned, his bare feet had turned blue.
“Take care of your face.”
“ah.”
Prince Sedric whispered sharply. Then I was taken aback and sat down.
The attendants were arranging the hem of the two adults who were seated.
I didn’t even know what my expression looked like, so I tried to make it as expressionless as possible.

Of course, he didn’t sympathize with the duke.
Because I was angry with him too, and I felt a deep sense of betrayal.
How many people lost their lives because of the duke, and how great was the confusion he caused.
The horror of the night I felt while walking through the forest with the gods was an unforgettable memory.
So this is just…
-dump!
Why?
Why did I have to choose such a path? It was such a pity.
Count Sou threw the peacock to the floor.
The gray eyes that resembled swords were full of contempt and betrayal.
The man groaned and knelt down slowly.
His hair, which had been sprawled out, shook aimlessly.
It was hard to believe that a person who was as elegant as a model of a great aristocrat had become like that.
It really was like a novel. Kathy also sat down next to him.
The nobles and priests who were watching let out a sigh.
“Laura.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
At the emperor’s call, the chaplain unfolded the long scroll at her eye level.
Cherry-colored eyes scanned the paper with dry eyes.
Today’s emperor was calmer than expected. At least that’s how it seemed to me.
Maybe it’s because of the master.
“I’m going to ask you, Simon de Sarnez.”
“…Yes, Your Majesty.”
The voice that sounded like weeping broke. The emperor did not blink an eye.
“Why did you plot to frame Jim’s servant, Prince Jesse Penetian, to damage his reputation and even to endanger his life?”
“·················ogue.”
It was a silent answer. The peacock only trembled and didn’t say anything.
I looked back at the cardinal with an anxious look. Her hand covered the back of the Emperor’s hand.
Master had his eyes closed with a very troubled face.
“Answer me.”
“·················ogue.”
I was out of breath. When the stillness is endlessly long,
-Sureung! Aww!
It was an instant. A dazzling flash of light blasted out toward the carpet like a bomb.
“aaah!”
“O Lord!”
‘Aww!’ Screams erupted from every corner, and ordinary people crouched under the pillars with their heads covered.
Awkward! The floor cracked and the chandelier barely swayed.
My eyes got cold because I looked at the bright light with the naked eye.
Clap clang, clink! There was the sound of a plate and glass breaking from somewhere.
The windows covered by the curtains trembled precariously like aspen trees.
I was horrified by the phenomenon resembling a disaster.
I was afraid that the palace would collapse at any moment.
I couldn’t even understand what the hell was going on.
“Sir, don’t worry. Your Majesty is not trying to harm you.”
what?
“You are very patient.”
“Sir John? Ouch…”
When I woke up to the breezy voice, I was already tumbling down the stairs.
It seemed that his body could not withstand the aftermath and was thrown away. Belatedly, the room throbbed.
Similarly, Master John, who had been lying on the floor, gently raised him up.
Fortunately, she was also unharmed. The Crown Prince’s hand, standing in front of us, had a Hye-gum in his hand.
Confused eyes wandered all over the place. what is this all of a sudden
“······your majesty?”
I looked at one place and muttered as if possessed. There were ruins all around her.
Beyond the carpet torn like a rag and shattered flooring, there were dozens of nobles scattered across the street.
Mouth opened wide. It was the first time since he took possession of the emperor’s power.
A clear silver aura was emanating from the Swordmaster’s sword.
-Woo…
Bogum and Durandal cried while shaking their swords. I knew intuitively.
That was a resonance longing for life.
The tip of her blade was aimed at the throat of a man struggling with despair.
I clasped my trembling hands and looked into the emperor’s eyes.
It was the vivid blood I had once seen in a Romero Lister portrait.
“no.”
This kind of judgment is not allowed. However, the rebellion of the emperor, once violent, was uncontrollable.
Awesome! Durandal moved with the master’s will. The shiver hit her body first.
[Frederic, please!]
– Whoa!
The golden sanctuary unfolded like an explosion. I shut my eyes tight.
A few eons of seconds passed.
There was no terrifying sound of piercing flesh and cutting bones.
“Huh, heh heh…”
The blocked breathing suddenly burst out. He raised his eyelids dazzlingly.
I saw the emperor waving his shoulders up and down. The livable silver light was gone.
The man’s hair, cut short, flew in the air.
That was it. The duke was only lying on his back, shaking his back.
Casey clenched his teeth and shed tears.
The prince, who was holding the sword in a defensive posture, slowly lowered his arm.
“…Aurelie.”
The Sword Master collected the aura. The emperor’s wrath was subsiding.
[yes. What do you want?]
“Bring the witnesses. I have to open my mouth.”
[I will do that, my lord.]
An unshakable reply whirled around my ears.
It was a sweet, sweet voice that didn’t fit the spot where the brutal violence had been swept away.
The knights who were barely holding on ran out to carry out the Hwangmyeong.
The pressure was gone, but my legs were still shaking.
I staggered up and sat down on the chair. The prince’s orange eyes stared intently at me.
“We have to keep going. cleaning.”
‘They say that the second part will be conducted verbally.’ I added
The boy snorted and tapped his chin.
