The moment Edouard priest’s face changed to a strange color, the Crown Prince, unaware of the fact, urged him.
“If that’s what it takes for you to believe, do it. Swear upon the sacred relic, priest.”
The Crown Prince’s attitude was as if the oath ceremony was no big deal, but Edouard priest was trembling. He seemed to have sensed what the swan figurine represented. Matthias, with a cold smile, spoke.
“The Crown Prince has also given his permission.”
“T-That’s…”
Unable to continue speaking, Edouard priest wiped sweat from his forehead with his palm. The Crown Prince, looking frustrated, questioned.
“Why can’t you? Priest Edouard!”
Between the priest and the Hwanggung, there must be some kind of rebate. I couldn’t understand why Edouard couldn’t do it.
“What exactly does it mean to be unable to swear? Edouard priest!”
“……I am…”
Closing his eyes tightly, the priest’s face changed drastically. The Crown Prince, not noticing this, pressed.
“Why can’t you? Priest Edouard!”
“…I am sorry.”
The priest, with shaky hands, wiped the sweat on his forehead. The Crown Prince, looking anxious, whispered.
“Why can’t you? Priest Edouard!”
“……This swan figurine is a genuine ancient sacred relic.”
The trembling hands of Edouard priest rose, and he dried his sweat. The Crown Prince raised an eyebrow and whispered.
“What exactly does it mean to be a genuine ancient sacred relic?”
“Anyone who tells a lie before this swan figurine, sworn upon as a sacred relic, will be torn apart and die.”
Due to its notorious reputation, the swan figurine was also called the sacred relic of the evil spirit.
It had the risk of only being effective once, and afterwards, it would return to an ordinary swan figurine.
But even with just that one time, it was enough for intimidation.
Matthias, with a satisfied smile, looked at Edouard priest and then shifted his gaze to Sien, who had clenched her fists tightly, staring at him piercingly.
Indeed, today’s victory wasn’t a significant problem.
The problem was…
‘Sien informed about this swan figurine being hidden in the Mirmod family’s warehouse. As if she anticipated that such an incident would occur.’
I wanted to know how Sien knew that the swan figurine was hidden in the Mirmod family’s warehouse. I became curious about how she knew about the power of this swan figurine relic.
But then, the Crown Prince spoke.
“…It’s an unbelievable story. Edouard priest, what will you do?”
In front of all the jurors, Edouard priest’s lips began to tremble.
“I, I can’t… I would rather die, I don’t want…!”
That alone was enough.
“It seems like God is saying that Sien and I share the same bloodline.”
“This is… well, I mean.”
“Edouard priest, listen carefully. I won’t say it twice.”
Edouard priest and Matthias locked eyes in the center. Edouard was the first to avert his gaze.
However, Matthias walked gracefully and stood near Edouard. His hand froze around Edouard’s throat.
“When I say I won’t say it twice, that means, well, you know.”
Matthias’s hand tightened around Edouard’s throat. It was a subtle movement, light enough not to create visible marks on Edouard’s neck, but it was sufficient for Edouard.
Fortunately, the angle was adjusted so that Sien, who had her back turned, couldn’t see.
“Well, she might notice just from this action.”
Matthias tilted his head quietly.
He still wanted to appear as a good and gullible father to Sien.
That way, Sien would love and rely on him. He didn’t want to look like a villainous father. Even if Sien wanted him to be a villain, she was still too young to comprehend the weight of the blood he had shed.
“…E-Even if God doesn’t vouch for it, it’s okay. I-I’ve suffered coercion, so…”
“Coercion, right. It’s called coercion.”
There was still something left to do.
Matthias looked at Minister Heinrich, who was trembling while standing in the jury’s position, with a cold gaze. However, he wasn’t worth keeping an eye on for long. Soon, Matthias shifted his gaze towards the judge’s door.
At that moment, the judge’s door cautiously opened again.
“…W-We have something to say. We came from the Holy Kingdom…”
“People from the Sherath Top have arrived!”
“Why are you freely entering the sacred courtroom!”
Matthias spoke bluntly.
“We came as witnesses for my daughter. What’s the problem?”
People from Sherath Top appeared to testify accurately about the kinship test kit.
In their hands were tools to prove their technology.
“We’ve come to properly prove the kinship test kit.”
“…To do a real kinship test!”
The Crown Prince, who had been silently watching, raised an eyebrow in response.
“…What?”
“We came because Count Jotter is stealing our technology and making fake kinship test kits!”
This statement caused another wave of shock among the audience. Count Jotter’s complexion turned pale.
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
