Volu 6, Chapter 27
Please leave the weapons here.
While saying so, Hamilton held out his hand to Ryouma.
Hand over the weapon, eh?
Ryouma turned his gaze in response to those words.
Basically, the House of Lords was occupying a corner of the royal palace.
There was so difference in details, but as far as Ryouma know, the basic rules were the sa.
And, that was in the case of nobles, bringing a sword into the royal palace was permitted as long the sword remained on ones belt.
That seems to be a national law of the Rozeria Kingdom, which had been around since the founding of the country.
Of course, for Ryouma, since it was the central governnt building akin to that of the Japanese Pri Minister building, he felt a sense of incongruity when he learned that they could bring a sword into the royal palace as long the sword remained on ones belt.
That being said, he never ntioned that before to anyone
(Well, the concept of security always depend on the tis)
It might be a good idea for such a thing to be allowed in this world since one owns safety could only be won by one owns power.
However, nobles may be ordered to disarm when they were within the royal palace.
For example, when one had an audience with the King.
And the other was when one appeared in the House of Lords court.
Well, it could be said both were an appropriate reason.
Bring a weapon when eting a King would be not good for security.
And House of Lords also had the sa aning.
House of Lords primary duty was to pass judgnt to aristocrats who commit criminal acts and diating disputes between aristocrats.
Simply put, it was the countrys supre court.
And with the assumption that the accused may feel dissatisfied with the judgnt, it was natural that bringing a weapon into the House of Lords was strictly prohibited.
The only exception was the knights who guard the House of Lords.
In that sense, Hamilton demand was in a perfect line with his duty.
However, even if Hamilton was right by the law, considering Ryouma was a nobleman touted as the countrys hero, it should pose no problem.
I heard the reason why I co here is to confirm the situation?
Recognizing the aning behind Ryoumas words, Hamilton floated a vulgar smile.
However, though here Ryouma could not pull his hand, they dont seem to mind letting him pull the sword.
Yes, that is indeed what youve heard. However, disarmant is a national law. No matter who you are, even if youre a hero, you will need to obey the law.
Ryouma was impressed by Hamiltons thick skin, while calmly speak about law.
In other words, it had gone according to the other side plan.
(I see Not because he could not be bribed, but he tried to take an opportunity to do sothing, huh? Indeed, that is efficient.)
It was true that the disarmant law when entering the House of Lords had existed since the first King of Rozeria Kingdom.
However, unlike eting the King, so consideration could be made.
Of course, if you were a defendant, you wont be able to refuse the disarmant.
And, if you co as a witness, one might ask consideration.
In other words, it depends on the status of the person who cos.
Nevertheless, Hamilton asked Ryouma to disarm. -
If you look closely to that, the knight under the House of Lords had already surrounded the carriage.
Even if he didnt pull the sword out, they might rcilessly disarm Ryouma forcefully depending on Ryoumas reply.
Or are you going to resist?
The knights surrounding the carriage took a step forward.
They were going to put pressure on him.
Ryouma then turned his gaze at his sword Kikoku on his left hand.
(It would be stupid to pull out Kikoku here)
If he used the power of Kikoku, he should be able to force his way out of this situation.
Since the battle against Earl Salzberg, Kikoku had absorbed a considerable amount of Prana, and to so extent had recognized him as its master.
Though it wont be perfect, Ryouma should be able to bring out the power hidden in the sword.
If he used the power of the sword and also Iga clan ability, he should be able to break through any situation when the opponent was just knights who only know martial arts.
But if he chooses that path, Ryouma would be clearly branded as a criminal.
Then everything they had done, would beco a waste.
After all, if he pulls out the sword after being asked to disarm by the House of Lords in accordance with the law, there would be no excuse for him to say
Surely, under Queen lupis, a large army would be ford to hunt down Baron Mikoshiba Ryouma.
And, nobles who were not obedient to the royal family, would not be able to refuse such a cause.
(Is this purely Hamilton idea or the person behind him?)
From Ryoumas point of view, what Hamilton did was sothing to provoke him.
(In that case, I should obediently hand over Kikoku The problem is what cos after this I guess I will leave it to the Iga clan.)
If he left the sword with Hamilton, the problem was how he get it back?
If it was just a normal sword then, he could prepare it as much as he wanted but, this was the one and only sword that the Iga clan had inherited generation after generation.
And there was no guarantee that the sword would be returned.
That being said, given the developnt after this, speaking about human resource, only Ryoumas shadow escort that could do sothing about it.
Feeling Ryoumas concern, Kikoku shook as if it was appealing for sothing.
Apparently, it seems to be dissatisfied to leave Ryoumas side.
Or was the sword didnt like being touched by soone the sword didnt know?
However, no matter what the answer, Ryouma didnt have another choice.
(Please be patient, I will get you back as soon as possible I speak in my mind like this as if the sword actually could hear )
But, Ryoumas thought must have been transmitted.
The tremor from the sword began to stop.
And Ryouma after confirming it, handed the sword to Hamilton.
However, that seems not the end of Hamilton provocation.
Good, Ive received the sword. After that Physical examination
A further strike was being released from Hamiltons mouth.
Physical examination, huh? Are you seriously willing to go that far?
Ryouma sighed after he speaks with an amazed tone.
This might be due to people behind Hamilton who were sensitive to Ryoumas hostility.
Im very sorry. After all, Baron Mikoshiba Ryouma is also good when using chakram, please forgive our rudeness
However, against Ryouma, Hamilton in question stands still with a calm attitude.
And since he had said until that far, Ryouma had no other choice.
He took out the small bag where he put the chakram and handed it over to Hamilton
Of course, what was being prohibited was only a sword.
Thus he could argue to so extent, but he had judged it would be aningless to argue here, and better to calmly passed over the chakram.
R//Ad latSt ch/a/pters at n(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
Then Ryouma spread his head left and right.
The kind of things that people did when they were being inspected by a tal detector.
Due to Ryouma calm behavior, Hamilton was actually felt suspicious for a mont but imdiately told the surrounding knights to check Ryouma.
If you wish, do you want to change clothes too? As far as I know, the law of this country didnt say about changing clothes, but I would be willing to change clothes if you could prepare clothes with my body size.
Ryouma grumpily talk while having his body being shaken due to the knights hands.
At the sa ti, Ryouma also released intense anger and killing intent.
Of course, he was not actually serious
If it can be done, just try that kind of provocation.
However, the surrounding air freeze due to Ryoumas provocative words and murderous intent.
The knights who examined him involuntarily took a step back, and Hamiltons face grew pale.
This made them rember.
Who was the person in front of them?
After nearly ten-second silence, Hamilton opened his mouth.
No, theres no need to go that far. I hope one understand that this is all due to duty
After saying that, Hamilton bowed his head deeply toward Ryouma.
