The Eastern nobles couldn’t gather their thoughts every morning when they unfolded the newspaper and read the newly reported articles.
The day before, news spread that the Emperor was almost assassinated at a banquet, a well-known fact that everyone was aware of. However, yesterday, news came out that the jewelry set used in the attempted assassination actually belonged to the former imperial family.
Today, it was reported that instead of an assassination attempt, the Moiquifel family was accused of stealing the imperial treasures, leading to the confiscation of one castle and five titles.
“Charges of theft and disrespect to the imperial family, with one castle and five titles! How excessive is that! Isn’t it too harsh?”
Several people reacted with an extremely aristocratic mindset.
“Is this the Emperor’s doing?”
It was obvious. All title confiscations were carried out meticulously based on the long-established imperial law. If they are investigating the theft of imperial treasures, how severe will the punishment be for the attempted assassination of the Emperor?
The Emperor intends to tear Moiquifel apart, just as the oldest ducal family is being torn apart one by one. Witnessing the horrifying sight of daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, aunts and uncles, mothers and wives, husbands being arrested and dragged away, those who witnessed it trembled.
Honestly, everyone wanted to withdraw from this matter, but at the same time, they were deeply hurt in their pride. They couldn’t just let the Emperor rampage as he pleased!
“Let’s make a suggestion! Why are they treating the Moiquifel family so harshly! Considering their contributions in defending the empire so far, shouldn’t they be pardoned?”
“But if we do that, what if we incur His Majesty’s anger?”
Arrests were still ongoing today. Imperial forces had seized all of Moiquifel’s properties.
It was an unbelievably fast pace, and no one could stop the arrests. Those who witnessed the terrible scene of daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, aunts and uncles, mothers and wives, husbands being arrested were trembling.
Honestly, everyone wanted to withdraw from this matter, but at the same time, they were deeply hurt in their pride. They couldn’t just let the Emperor rampage as he pleased!
“We can’t directly request His Majesty for leniency. Let’s go to Dragonrode. Hasn’t he always been the one to listen to us?”
The nobles began to move.
[Star Icon]Appearing in the Aeselot Palace, the ‘Eyes of the Emperor’ Flaché Viscount looked uncomfortable.
Hayden scratched his ear and murmured, “Someone seems to be cursing the imperial family.”
“It’s because the title revocation has started. Even though only five have been revoked.”
Only five out of twenty-six titles were revoked, and yet there was already an uproar. Edan laughed. These people, it hasn’t even started yet.
Our Emperor plans to take away all the assets of the Moiquifel ducal family.
“When tomorrow’s morning paper comes out, I should keep an eye on it.”
Hayden, who had swollen his eyes as much as his nickname ‘Eyes of the Emperor,’ looked at the document that had just arrived.
If he told Edan his simple intentions and goals, Edan teased the lawyers who screamed, and consulted with Cabinet Noir to execute the purpose. The office was filled with coffee and the teapot was moved so much that it couldn’t be filled with tea.
“Take a break for a moment.”
Today, the Emperor seemed satisfied with the result of the heated debates and debates involving an abundance of coffee, snacks, and sandwiches.
Hayden nodded as he looked down at the organized documents. It was not even two o’clock in the afternoon, so there was enough time to execute today’s results. Shall we take a break then?
Edan wondered how his daughter had lunch, how she was spending today.
“Sir Genus.”
No, take a break, Your Majesty.
“Yes, Your Majesty?”
“We are too focused on punishment right now.”
Everyone in the temporarily arranged office looked at the Emperor as if they were all bewildered. Now that the investigation into the Emperor’s assassination attempt has taken place, shouldn’t they focus on punishment first?
However, Edan was different. He looked extremely awkward.
“Your Majesty, it’s a bit… for me to do that.”
Others couldn’t understand the Emperor’s words, but Edan understood them immediately. Amidst the calls for punishment, there was one who deserved recognition for merit and reward.
“And you don’t have to bother about it this time. In fact, the victory celebration happened not long ago…”
“Are you saying that as my advisor, or as the father of Yeong-ae?”
Some who were a bit slow finally realized who the only one with merit in this incident was.
That’s right. Flaché Viscount Yeong-ae, who stood in front of the Emperor and successfully defended against the attack magic, had merit.
“It’s been quite a while since Yeong-ae became an adult.”
So, even if Hayden were to commend Yeong-ae and bestow an award on her, strictly speaking, Viscount Flaché wouldn’t have any concerns.
“I’m saying it as your advisor, Your Majesty.”
