Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning

The first thing the nobles did was to judge the crown prince Garrett, who had killed his father, and the first step was for the person involved to tell his story.

For this reason, in addition to the nobles present, the knights who had experienced the assassination that night also came to the banquet hall as witnesses and stated what they saw and heard one by one.

Obviously, Ronin was not suspected in this statement, especially the statement of Broll, the first person on the scene, which revealed Garrett's conspiracy.

It took more than an hour for everyone to complete the statement process, and then the nobles expressed their opinions on what kind of punishment Garrett should receive for killing his father.

This was a lively session, with voices in the banquet hall coming one after another, and even quarrels broke out.

The nobles had mixed opinions. Some advocated severe punishment and death penalty to commemorate the deceased Majesty;

Some thought that he should be treated leniently. After all, Garet was the only male blood of the Majesty and could not be easily abandoned;

Others suggested that they should find a woman to give birth to a child with Garet, and then execute Garet and let his child inherit the throne, so that both sides would be satisfied.

Speaking of this, it was a bit strange that Garet had many women but had no children in his thirties.

Ronin couldn't help but wonder if the other party was infertile?

"Everyone!"

Lu Lans stood up. His voice was very loud and the hall was quiet as soon as he appeared.

Marquis of Thunder, this man has been famous for a long time. Even the nobles in the remote areas of the kingdom have heard of him.

"In all the years since the establishment of the Kingdom of Alduin, no one has ever committed such an unforgivable crime as the Crown Prince. He not only abandoned his father and his homeland, but also abandoned his identity as a human race."

"The key is that such a person also possesses powerful strength, comparable to the first person under the legend. If he is easily let go, if he escapes our surveillance, I don't know who will be killed by his sword like Philemon?"

Lulans gave his suggestion: "So, I think he should be sentenced to death!"

The whole audience fell into a brief silence, but soon, the nobles who supported the death penalty spoke out and responded to Lulans's opinion.

Some of those who were still wavering, after seeing the opinions of the Marquis of the Kingdom, especially the old nobles who were Grandpa Ronin, gradually made a decision.

"Death penalty!"

"Death penalty!"

"Death penalty!"

The voices in the hall gradually became unified.

Next, the high nobles of the kingdom also expressed their opinions.

Fasilei: "I second!"

Arseno: "Second!"

"I abstain." Gushan sighed. He and Garrett have worked together for many years and have some friendship. He couldn't agree to execute the other party.

However, he also knew that Garrett's crime was too serious and it was impossible to give him a light sentence, so he had to abstain.

Count Iben raised his hand. He wanted to second the motion, but he looked at Sharon and finally changed his words: "I... oppose!"

Such a statement was a bit surprising, but people looked at the couple and thought that Iben made such a statement for the sake of marital harmony.

After all, the other party was still Sharon's brother.

Now, only the two dukes, Vargis and Ronin, were left.

Vargis raised his hand: "My daughter Dana and grandson died at the hands of the aliens in Moonlight Valley. I hate aliens very much, so I agree!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Ronin.

If this person also agrees, Garrett's death penalty is probably inevitable.

I just don't know if Ronin will oppose it like Iben because of Blanche's existence?

Blanche looked at Ronin, who did ask for her opinion.

This experience made her hate Garrett, but Sharon's persuasion made her waver.

So in the end, she decided to leave it all to Roning, and she would support him no matter what he chose to do.

Roning raised his hand, "Like Gushan, Iben and many other nobles, I also oppose the death penalty."

As soon as this was said, there was a chaotic conversation in the banquet hall.

Many people were surprised by such a statement. After all, in their opinion, Lu Lans's attitude should be the same as Roning's attitude. Why are the two people's statements inconsistent?

Especially those nobles who had communicated with Lu Lans, their faces were full of surprise and confusion.

"Your Excellency the Duke, please allow me to ask, what is your reason for opposition?"

A noble stood up and asked: "All this Garrett did was not only to control the entire country, but also to target you. He even almost killed the pregnant Duchess. Such a person does not deserve your forgiveness!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"

Many people spoke up for Roning.

Ibn's mood fluctuated when he saw this scene. Unconsciously, Roning had already influenced many people.

After all, this is not a pure aristocratic world. Extraordinary power is enough to influence many things.

This aristocratic meeting should have been a fight for the right to speak among various forces, but in fact, many people seemed to have made their choices in their hearts.

Roning stood up and explained: "I don't intend to forgive Garrett's crime. I just hope that he can kneel in front of His Majesty's grave and repent. It's a pity that he is crazy now and can't even hear people's words clearly..."

He paused, "My proposal is to impose life imprisonment on Garrett, deprive him of all political rights and noble status, abolish his cultivation, and make his crimes public so that everyone in the country will know."

"At the same time, we need to seek famous doctors to cure his madness. When he recovers and repents in front of His Majesty's tomb, we will then judge him when he is sober!"

Ronin looked around and said, "Killing a madman is worthless. Only by letting him repent can the dead rest in peace and the living be comforted."

The nobles looked at each other, and the discussion gradually subsided.

Ronin's proposal not only reflects the severe condemnation of Garrett's crimes, but also retains a trace of human brilliance.

Moreover, he did not say that Garrett would not be punished, but that the punishment would be placed when the latter was sober.

If Garrett was not sober, he would be imprisoned all the time, and he could not do anything when he was crazy;

If Garrett was sober, then he would just hold a meeting and make a decision.

Gu Shan stood up and applauded. He said admiringly: "I am not good at speaking, but what you said is exactly what I want to say. I support your proposal!"

"Your Excellency the Duke's proposal not only demonstrates the persistence of justice, but also reflects the respect for life. I also support it!"

Valgis also nodded, "Indeed, letting a person who has lost his mind bear the punishment of death may not really calm our anger and grief. Letting him face his crimes after sobering up is a more profound punishment."

Iben also stood up and applauded. Compared with his opposition, Ronin's statement was more convincing.

He had to admit that he was not as good as the other party.

Lu Lans also smiled and stood up and applauded. The reason why he was the first to jump out and express his position was actually to lay a good foundation for Ronin.

Whether the latter directly agrees with the death penalty or has other ideas, it's easy to say.

Ronin smiled and accepted the praise from all parties. He could see that his handling had unified everyone's position.

This is the right to speak.

As long as this decision is supported, then his statement will be the key to many subsequent decisions.

He is not the king, but his orders are the same as those of the kingdom.

Just like that, all the nobles in the banquet hall applauded and supported Ronin's statement, and Garrett's fate was settled.

However, this noble meeting did not end here, but the highlight was the next one.

"Next, let's talk about who should lead the Kingdom of Alduin!" (End of this chapter)
