Public trial?You deserve it too!

"Do you think I'm cheating on you? Do you think..."

"What you said is the truth, teacher, I will lose, there is no doubt about it."

Augustus said slowly.

"During this year, I thought about the past carefully, put everything down, and just thought about it—not thinking about how to fool my father, how to win that seat. But thinking about how I can make my own Father, tell me the truth once."

Leichter froze.

"I have asked my father many times, many times! I have asked this question since I was a child, and the content has never changed. It is all about my mother—you are the emperor, but why, mother died?"

Augustus gritted his teeth, bloodshot eyes gradually appeared in his eyes.

"If my mother died in childbirth and he blamed me, I have no complaints, even I would only resent myself—but he told me, every time he told me, your mother committed suicide! "

"And no matter how much I keep asking, he doesn't answer me anymore - he will never tell me the truth! He is the emperor, he is the emperor! Who can make a queen commit suicide! Who can make a woman who gave birth to a boy The queen committed suicide! Who can!"

His outburst of anger could almost set Leichter on fire.

"The nobles are deceiving me, but they can't do this kind of thing, and the spies of the business alliance and the church country can't do it, there is only one person, only one person can do this kind of thing! And he is facing That woman's child didn't even want to cover it up, just dropped the word 'suicide' lightly!"

He gasped for breath, and waited until he had adjusted his breath before speaking again.

"I checked it later, and I checked it many times. The answers are all kinds of strange, some from the people, some from the palace, and some from the nobles. Of course, I don't believe any of them, because no matter where they are, they are nothing more than big nobles or people. The emperor made it out to fool me—how could such a thing be found?"

"So if you want to know the truth, there is only one way to go - that is to ask my father, because only he can fully remember the truth at that time, and only he is kindly allowed to remember '."

Augustus tapped the table.

"I will be demoted back to the fief soon. Once I leave the imperial capital, I will never know the truth about my mother's death, so how can I admit defeat? How can I admit defeat? This is my last chance, even It's my best chance to know the truth!"

With a ferocious smile, he looked at Leichter, but found that the other party's reaction was beyond his expectation——

The old man looked at Augustus, and the expression in his eyes was not anger and shock, but... full of helplessness, pain, and a sense of hopeless sadness.

"It turns out...it turns out to be like this..."

The old man nodded. He finally understood why Augustus became like this, and why he did this series of things. All of these are just a truth that has not been concealed.

What a sad, what a harrowing thing.

My own ideals, the emperor's expectations, the future of Augustus... everything was doomed to collapse just because of a conspiracy theory.

It was doomed so many years ago.

Leicht didn't speak anymore, he just took off the overcoat he was wearing, tore the hem of the robe into rags, and tied up his loose clothes.

Augustus did not speak either, neither ordered the knights to arrest him, nor did he speak out to persuade him.

"Unfortunately, as your teacher, I didn't see through the real you under the skin. This is my dereliction of duty as a teacher."

When Leichter finished packing, he raised his hand and drew out a sword of a knight beside him. The others drew their swords at him in shock, but Augustus raised his hand to signal everyone to put down their swords.

Then he stood there and watched the old man shave off his beard and hair.

"But as a subject who once swore allegiance to His Majesty, I can no longer dereliction of duty."

Leicht said this sentence calmly.

But the long sword that slashed down suddenly in his hand made the sound of wind and thunder!

He is indeed inclined to compromise politically, but think about a guy like Jung, who has been able to quarrel with Leicht for many years, neither looking down on the other party, nor forcing the other party to accept his thoughts, and has always maintained a friendship with the other party , there is only one reason.

Because Jung couldn't beat him.

"Now, I will walk out of this room and your mansion in a dignified way, get in my own carriage, go straight to the palace, and tell Your Majesty all about your treachery, and let you and the great nobles fall into an irreversible hell. abyss."

Leicht looked directly into Augustus' eyes, and said it word by word.

"Nothing can stop me but death—will you try?"

It was slowly getting dark.

After all, it is the middle of winter, and it gets dark very early, which is quite normal.

But for Gutenberg, his mood has changed from fluke to anxiety, and now he has become desperate. As time goes by, he has slipped into a bottomless abyss.

It is impossible for Leicht to stay in Augustus' mansion for so long, because doing so will make the nobleman suspicious. Even the other party has visited Augustus' mansion in the past, but every time he was in a hurry, Sometimes I even left after just visiting, and then slowly read through the letters I got when I returned to my home.

Especially at a time like this.

A guard came to the porter, said a few words, and the porter came straight here.

Gutenberg felt his heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

"Your Majesty Leichter said that you will have dinner at His Majesty's place and stay for one night. You should go back. His Highness will take His Majesty Leichter directly to the palace tomorrow. You don't need to come here."

The concierge's words hammered the last nail in Gutenberg's reasoning.

"……Yes."

Gutenberg didn't speak any more, he just lowered his head and replied softly.

The concierge didn't care either, he was the concierge of the First Prince, and it would be in the face of Leicht's trust that he could come out and explain, so he just turned around and walked towards his post.

"My lord, what shall we do now?"

The dead soldier on the side asked in a low voice.

"Go first, get out of here."

Gutenberg pushed the carriage stiffly, slowly left here, and drove towards the direction of Leicht's house.

Something must have happened to Leichter.

Unexpectedly, Augustus did not fool Leichter as he did in the past, but chose to tear his face directly and force Leicht to stay. With Gutenberg's understanding of the old man, the other party would definitely not be caught without a fight, even if Augustus Stu ordered not to kill him, lest Leicht himself...

"It's like this again...it's like this again..."

Gutenberg was gripping the rein tightly, his fingernails were bleeding from the palm of his hand, slowly dripping from his fingers.

This was the second time, because of his luck, things became irreparable again.

Last time, he was the same, because he was afraid of not being trusted, because he was afraid of taking responsibility, and because of his luck, he became a knife in the hands of Augustus, slashed a hole in the empire's treasury, and stole Countless gold coins were taken away.

But this time, for the same reason, he killed his mentor——

He is Augustus' accomplice!

Once upon a time!Now too!Always!

The man was almost overwhelmed by the great guilt and sadness, and drove the carriage to Leichter's house in a daze.

The butler was standing at the door. He looked at Gutenberg who was still sitting in the carriage, and raised his eyebrows.

"Mr. Gutenberg, what about Master Leichter?"

These words woke Gutenberg up. He looked at the butler he was already familiar with, and he didn't know what to say.

"Your Excellency Leicht...Your Excellency, he stayed overnight at the manor of His Highness Augustus."

His voice was hoarse, and the old butler gave him a strange look and nodded.

"I see—your dinner is ready, do you want to eat it later?"

"...No, I have other things to do. These days, thank you for your hospitality."

Gutenberg got out of the carriage and bowed to the steward.

The old man felt that it was getting weirder and weirder. He wanted to ask, but he remembered that the master once said that you should not ask too much about Gutenberg, so he just nodded.

"Then I'll start preparing for tomorrow's dinner. The master said that we will celebrate the New Year here this year—Mr. Gutenberg, will you come by then?"

"...If, if there is a chance, I will definitely come."

The butler nodded, said goodbye to Gutenberg politely, and closed the door.

Gutenberg stood beside the carriage, and several people stood silently behind him, waiting for his order.

"I've run out of chances...it's all my fault, my indecision has created the situation..."

The man's voice was low and firm.

"Come on, I still have something to do."

-------------------------------------------------- -

Claude is at home, bored waiting for tomorrow's summons.

Because Ludwig is not in the imperial capital recently, and Christina basically lives in the imperial palace, so there are basically only orphans and widows Princess Diana and Letitia in Ludwig's manor—considering the recent situation in the imperial capital Ludwig's departure almost took away the guards and knights stationed in the manor. Christina very naturally proposed to the emperor a plan to let her mother and sister live in the palace.

Of course, this was immediately approved by the emperor. Since Ludwig's family couldn't live in the manor, it was naturally impossible for Claude to continue living there.

But in the palace, you can live in the prince, you can live in the female relatives - you, a fiancé who has not yet married, still want to live in it?

Of course, there are not no places for outsiders to live in Miyagi, but Claude is not interested in living there. First, he has to be a man with his tail between his legs in the palace, and second, he can get rid of the two princesses, so Claude immediately He moved back to live in his own home.

Then he realized belatedly that there was a high probability that Christina was a little drunk.

Well, but she must really care about her mother and sister. It can only be said that the study by the emperor's side these days has achieved remarkable results.

He is also happy to live alone. The emperor's emergency mobilization order has been issued to him, allowing him to "deploy troops into the imperial capital when he thinks the situation is tense" and make preparations to "suppress possible riots."

"Augustus is fucking dead, does this person really have nothing in his heart?"

Claude was really a little puzzled.

Due to his previous bad impression, when he talked about the eldest prince, his words usually contained a lot of horsepower.

[Maybe I want to die. 】

The system still maintains a kind of awkward cooperation. Obviously because of the previous incident, he didn't want to talk to Claude, but he couldn't help answering the question. After speaking, he felt that he was too weak. I began to regret whether I shouldn't have spoken to the teacher like this.

All in all, it's awkward, very awkward.

"How many times have I said, don't chat with your personal emotions, it will only limit your thinking." Claude shrugged, "I admit that the thing is a puddle of mud, which is too soft and thin to support the wall, but again How to say, as a prince, you don’t have to rebel just to die, right? After all, it’s not for that chair, which prince would set off a coup and rebellion, why not for the throne? Love and justice”

[Anyway, it's either to die, or it's really so bad that the emperor found out that he didn't want the emperor to find out about the coup preparations. Is there any essential difference between the two Augustus? 】

"Indeed, whoever is more smelly than a cesspit or a biogas digester belongs to it."

Claude agrees.

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

[Gustav and Gutenberg, and some people around, should be in charge of vigilance. 】

"Congratulations, you have already learned to rush to answer."

Claude was still talking incoherently, but he had already begun to think in his heart.

How could these two people come to find me at this point in time?

But he has opened the door.

"Knight Claude, I have something to say, can we go in first?"

Gustav's voice was quick and urgent.

"Please come in."

Claude immediately let the two come in, and then made a pretentious inspection.

[No one followed, and the two people from the Imperial Intelligence Bureau didn't intend to come closer. 】

"That's interesting."

Claude felt more and more interesting in his heart, closed the door, and looked back at the two Barr brothers.

"Please sit down, I don't know if Knight Gustav came to visit late at night, what is the so-called?" Claude glanced at Gutenberg, "And this... excuse me, I have never seen you before .”

"This is my brother, Gutenberg Barr, who once served His Royal Highness Augustus, but he has already broken with him."

Gustav immediately introduced.

Claude's eyes immediately became sharper, his gentle demeanor suddenly subsided, and he looked at Gutenberg with a little indifference and hostility.

"I know him, the head of the Barr Chamber of Commerce, the guy who does smuggling business with the Chamber of Commerce."

His tone became colder.
