A Narrow-Eyed Nobleman Is Always Misunderstood

Episode 82 – Not everything in the world goes the way you want it

Four days have passed since I received the notification that the complaint was received.

If it had been as I originally planned, I should have gone to the Supreme Court by now and attended the trial, but a variable occurred in the middle.

“Cadet Alberto. The head of the department called.”

A few days ago, while I was preparing for the trial, the Marquis of Sebatia suddenly sent Lord Semiltern to summon me.

I walked to the office of the Marquis of Sebatia following the sudden arrival of Sir Semiltern.

I ran into several cadets while moving to the office, but they all seemed to be avoiding my eyes.

Perhaps it was because the entire Royal Academy knew that I had killed Albinus and that I had sued Horus and Darius.

Perhaps he believes in the ridiculous rumors spread by Albinus, Horus, and Darius.

Anyway, Lord Semiterne and I were able to reach the office of the Marquis of Sebatia.

“Captain. I brought Cadet Alberto with me.”

“Let me in.”

I heard Marquis Sebatia’s voice through the door of the office, and Lord Semiltern opened the door.

I slipped through the door opened by Sir Semiltern.

When I entered the office, Marquis Sebatia was sitting at the office desk and looking at me.

“Sit down. Alberto.”

The Marquis of Sebatia spoke in a voice devoid of any emotion.

I sat down cautiously at the words of the Marquis.

As soon as I sat down, Marquis Sebatia rose from her seat and approached me.

Then he sat down where he could face me and opened his mouth.

“I heard rumors that you sued Horus and the cadet Darius. Is it true?”

“Yes.”

I answered Marquis Sebatia’s question as it was.

“Why is that?”

“Yes, because Cadet Horus and Cadet Darius crossed the line first.”

I answered Marquis Sebatia’s question with a smile on my lips.

In the first place, Albinus was at fault, and Horus and Darius, who sympathized with him, were also accomplices.

“So, did you kill the Albinus cadet?”

“You insulted and ignored me first.”

“Even so, it is the law to keep the line.”

“Do I have to keep that line even though I am about to die? Clearly the fault is over there.”

At the words of the Marquis of Sebatia, I had my doubts.

No, the wrong side is over there, so why am I being scolded?

“If a problem arises, it can be resolved through mediation within the Royal Academy. Did you really have to let the outside world know about it?”

In other words, Marquis Sebatia’s words were as follows.

It was just a good way to handle it internally, so why make the case bigger?

Well, it wasn’t that I couldn’t understand Marquis Sebatia’s words.

In general, I tend to resolve issues through the Dispute Resolution Committee within the Royal Academy.

However, the directors of the Royal Academy, which are higher than the Dispute Resolution Committee, have allowed legal proceedings to be taken on this issue.

There was no way for the Marquis of Sebatia to stop this.

“Resolving this matter through legal procedures is also permitted by the Director of Operations and the Dean.”

“Is that true?”

When I told him that the management directors and the dean had allowed this matter to be resolved through legal procedures, the Marquis Sebatia reacted in amazement.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“If the executive directors and the dean have allowed it, I have no reason to say anything.”

Marquis Sebatia, who brought up the story of the operating directors and the dean, sighed in relief and nodded his head.

No, hey? If the reaction suddenly changes like this, which rhythm should I dance to?

“Why did the reaction suddenly change so much?”

“I also thought that you arbitrarily proceeded with the complaint without consulting anyone.”

Aha, so the Marquis of Sebatia seemed to think that I filed the complaint alone without going through the Dispute Mediation Committee.

I’m not an idiot, and if I could solve it within the Royal Academy, I would have solved it a long time ago.

However, since the Arcus family and the Bedoran family were influencing the Royal Academy, I thought that if the two families came into contact, there could be a problem in handling this matter.

That’s why I tried to resolve this matter by going through legal procedures.

At least, judicial institutions including the Supreme Court were composed of people who did not give in to pressure from high-ranking aristocrats.

All they saw was evidence, testimonies, and the law.

From noble mtl dot com.

It was a place where no matter how strong the nobility put pressure on, if it was against the law or there was no evidence or testimony, it was a place where they didn’t know.

That’s why I handed this over to the court.

“Well, that’s it. The real reason I called you was something else.”

I questioned Marquis Sebatia’s words again.

No, if that’s not a real question, then what the hell is a real question?

“What did you call me for?”

“It’s not difficult, but if you have to attend an upcoming trial, it’s inevitable. Usually the trial takes place on the last day of the week.”

“What happened to you?”

I wondered what the Marquis of Sebatia was trying to do.

The fact that you have to call me must mean that it’s that important.

“Recently, it is said that several movements of suspicious persons have been detected in unexplored areas outside the border.”

“Suspicious… A move?”

“Yes. According to the soldier who was on guard duty, the movement is not like a beginner, but like someone who has been trained somewhere.”

“Isn’t it possible that it could be someone else?”

The Marquis of Sebatia shook his head at my words.

“No. In the first place, the unexplored area is not a place where clumsy guys can enter and survive. Don’t you know that well?”

“Then, are you certain of the drunk followers?”

I asked the Marquis of Sebatia again.

If you’re sure of the followers they drank from, you’ll have to find out what they’re up to there.

The evil spirits I met were never in a position to welcome their resurrection.

What he wants is rest, not resurrection.

If they were planning the resurrection of the evil god, they had to ruin the plan.

“Okay. Let me go.”

“Um, I don’t mind dropping you into a dangerous place alone, but I can’t help it. Because there is no one I can trust but you.”

It was very sad to see Marquis Sebatia sighing deeply, saying that she would die because she was having a hard time because there were no people.

“Then, can we leave right now?”

“Yes. You can’t use the teleport gate, so you’ll have to walk there.”

I shouldn’t have done it…….

However, it is reassuring for me to investigate the evil spirit myself, as well as to bite what the man decided to do once.

So I was able to drive down the road for three days and arrive near the fort guarding the only road to the unexplored land.

As I approached the entrance to the fort, a guard looked at me and said,

Now I was wearing a helmet that completely covered my face to hide my identity.

It was a little awkward because I don’t usually wear armor, but it was fine once I got used to it.

“Stop! Identify yourself!”

“I came on the orders of the Marquis of Sebatia. Here is the proof.”

The soldier guarding the fortress ordered me to reveal my identity with a spear, and I held out the order given by the Marquis of Sebatia.

“Ah, confirmed. Come here, follow me this way.”

The soldier who confirmed the order written by the Marquis of Sebatia led me to the side road without any doubt.

“You can pass by here. If you want to come back, ring the bell at the exit of the side road twice and we will come to pick you up.”

Leaving behind the soldier who kindly told me how to return, I entered the side road.

This small road between the fortress and the surrounding cliffs was hidden in an exquisite location that only those who knew the entrance could enter.

Maybe that’s why, the side road was not well maintained, so rough grass and trees blocked the way.

I loaded my dagger with a sword aura and pushed forward, breaking through the obstacles in my way.

Anyway, it seemed like it would take a while to enter the unexplored territory.

Come to think of it, today is the trial day, so I wonder if the trial is going well?

–

Unlike Alberto’s worries about the trial, the trial was going very smoothly.

“The defendant admitted all the crimes, and according to the evidence presented by the plaintiff, Horus Menetas Bedoran and Darius Melatun Arcus are ordered to be expelled from the Royal Academy. Also, since that ability can cause harm to someone, it is subject to permanent mana destruction.”

The punishment given to the two of them was truly horrendous.

Following the punishment of expulsion from the Royal Academy, he was sentenced to permanent destruction of mana, meaning he could never use mana again no matter what elixir he used.

They tried to appeal, but the evidence was too strong, and since Alberto had appealed to the Supreme Court in the first place, the judge dismissed them and struck the baton three times.

The two plaintiffs were dragged out of the courthouse and immediately executed, and were unable to use mana again forever.

Bollun, who watched all of this, nodded to the judges, and the judges also bowed their heads toward Bolun, showing respect for the senior.

Alberto would have been very happy to know this, but it would be at least a couple of months before he found out.
