If rumors like [The so-called saintess was actually having an illicit relationship with a man!] spread, the reputation of Laura and the royal family would take a blow. Was the Marchioness objective actually a revenge against the royal family!?
The Marchioness might have that sort of intention. But
With a frustrated expression, the Grand Duke continued.
The marquiss heir, that is his eldest grandson, has declared that he is the only person who is suitable to be Princess Lauras husband. He has a one-sided love for the princess.
How is his personality?
His administrative ability is average but he iscreative. I heard he said sothing like [The beautiful princess ought to have the beautiful at her side] while presenting a bouquet of roses to the princess. (Seyfart)
That wasnt being creative, that was just plain being a weirdo! I guess saying he was creative was the Grand Duke being polite. Wasnt he exactly the type of person Laura hated the most?
On the other hand, it seems like the Marchioness second grandson agreed with his grandmother.
Umyou are only ntioning about the Marchionesss grandchildren and, how about her children? (Welner)
The Marquiss son has already passed away because of the illness, perhaps that is the reason why the marchioness rarely go outside. (Seyfart)
I never thought that Marchioness is this much of a fool. (Hubertus)
His Highness coldly interjected. In short, the Marquis was currently in a coma, so his family did whatever they wanted, huh.
In addition, the mastermind of this whole thing, the Marchioness, was holed up in her territory, so she couldnt imdiately obtain information about the capital.
Using the Marchionesss animosity toward the royal family, Delitzdam succeeded in forcing a trial on Mazell to keep him locked in Delitzdam and even the church was involved with everything. What a ss
From Delitzdams point of view, their diplomatic relationship with the Bain Kingdom and even other kingdoms would beco sour if they directly sued the hero, so they borrowed the hand of Bain Kingdoms noble.
If Delitzdam succeeded in stretching out the trial, they would be able to move their army to retake Triot without worrying about the demons that might attack their kingdom while they were gone. With this, even Bain Kingdom couldnt do anything to Delitzdam Kingdom since technically, they didnt do anything. The only people that would be shad here was the Coltrezis Marquis House.
I wondered if Marquis Coltrezis wasnt in a coma, the situation wouldnt have beco like this.
So to summarize everything:
Delitzdam KingdomWants the Triot territory, so they need the heros power.Ca up with a way to make the hero stay in their country using trial as an excuse.High Priest MalavoiReceived a bribe from Coltrezis Marquis House to let the accusation against the hero pass.Cardinal KaempferWants the High Priest position, so he tried to use Lily.Marchioness ColtrezisWants to stain the royal familys reputation no matter what.Grandson of Coltrezis Marquis HouseLaura is mine! I have to kick out this hero using a false charge!The commoners and noblesWhat do you an about the illicit relationship between the esteed hero and the lady saintess!?
I guess thats about it.
In addition, the Marchioness intention was to get revenge on the royal family. She probably only thought about making Mazell the knight of her house or sothing like that.
Damn it. Anyonegive stomach dicine and headache dicine.
Jokes aside, it also seed that there were intentions of separating Laura from Mazell using this trial. For example, Laura would need to return to the Great Temple alone in order to defend herself. Considering that the demons were currently aiming for Laura, that was going to be dangerous. This scenario must be avoided at all costs. What to do? How to solve this matter?!
That is why I am sorry to trouble you, but I need your help, Lily. (Hubertus)
, Your Highness? (Lily)
His Highness, saying sorry? That was rare.
We are planning to stir the matter into opening a proxy trial.
When the defendant was unable to attend the trial himself because of sickness or so other issue, proxy trial was held under which a proxy was sent on the behalf of the defendant.
If a proxy trial was held, then either Lily or Mazells parents would be the one that attended the trial on Mazells behalf Ah, I see. Since Mazells family were all in Bain Kingdom, the proxy trial would be held in Bain Kingdom, not in Delitzdam.
I will handle the procedure needed to open a proxy trial. Since there was a suspicion of docunt forgery, I could not leave it to High Priest Malavoi, the people must have thought so too.
So High Priest Leppe would use the dissatisfaction of the people to make himself the person in charge for this trial. That was quite a forceful way, but it was important for High Priest Leppe to be in charge especially if Laura and Mazell checked the docunts and announced that they were fake.
The best solution was to declare Mazell not guilty and then push the fake docunts under the rug. That would an that the church would owe a big favor to Laura and Mazell but well, that was the churchs problem to think about.
I will be the witness that the hero was unable to attend the trial.
His Excellency the Pri Minister spoke. Was this a declaration toward Delitzdam that the entire country would protect Mazell? But if Lily beca a proxy for Mazell in the trial
Will Marquis Coltrezis not resent Lily if she beca the proxy? (Welner)
If Marquis Coltrezis house failed to drag out Laura and Mazell to the trial, their anger would be directed to the commoner Lily.
If Im being honest, theres a risk for that to happen. But the situation turned out this way because of my carelessness, so I will take the responsibility for this matter. (Hubertus)
His Highness would!? After he said that, the air changed suddenly.
Pri Minister Falkenstein, Grand Duke Seyfart, High Priest Leppe, I command thee to do your utmost to handle this incident.
As you wish!
The three of them imdiately bowed down.
Under the na of Crown prince Hubertus, I command the Hearthing family to cooperate with us in order to erase the unjust accusation toward the hero.
Y..Yes, Your Highness. (Lily)
Oh, wow. Was this what people call charisma?
High Priest Leppe, are you sure that the plaintiffs of this trial were related to Coltrezis house?
Yes.
There is too much gap between the legal knowledge that a commoner and a noble had, so I think a trial by combat will be a better option, but what do you think?
I agree with your opinion, Your Highness.
A trial by combat. Wait, dont tell
Lily, who is the brave knight you wish to appoint for the duel?
Lily imdiately looked at and I nodded. It was quite unexpected for everything to end up this way, but this was ti to make full use of my notoriety. Lily took a deep breath, then answered.
I would like to appoint Welner von Zeavert-sama.
Lily trusted with this, so I would make sure to answer her trust.
