“Don’t worry. Fortunately, Prince Carlos is involved in this incident. Besides, Princess Diana being taken to the prison for questioning eventually relates to the charge of insulting the imperial family. So, opening an imperial trial doesn’t seem excessive.”
I grinned.
“Moreover, the pretext of Princess Diana being taken to prison for questioning is ultimately related to the crime of insulting the imperial family. So, it doesn’t seem excessive to hold an imperial trial.”
An imperial trial is convened in the imperial family when a significant incident related to the nobility occurs. Since it involves even the high nobility, every aspect, procedure, and outcome are thoroughly investigated, and a final judgment is made.
‘And the judgment issued in the imperial trial cannot be reversed.’
Perhaps I, with little influence in high society, will face more scrutiny than if I were investigating.
“…But if that happens, Lady Blanshette won’t be able to do much.”
“Jim’s opinion is also valid.”
The Emperor’s golden eyes looked at me.
“Soon, the saint is scheduled to perform a purification ritual and host a hunting party in the empire. Amidst that, opening an imperial trial could cause confusion among the imperial subjects.”
When the Emperor sided with me, the saint spoke with a voice full of regret.
“Your Majesty also says so. Lady Blanshette’s intentions are appreciated, but it might be difficult to open an imperial trial.”
“Then, does that mean the saint agrees to the opening of the imperial trial itself?”
“As I entrusted the investigation to Lady Blanshette, I trust Lady Blanshette’s decision.”
“Then it’s settled.”
Facing the perplexed saint, I respectfully spoke to the Emperor.
“Your Majesty, if it seems insufficient with Princess Diana, I will officially undergo the imperial trial simultaneously with the saint.”
“Lady Blanshette and the saint simultaneously?”
“Anyway, the reason the imperial family’s name was mentioned is because of Lady Blanshette and me, isn’t it? So, I think if both of us receive a fair trial, all doubts might be resolved.”
The Emperor, leaning on his arm with his chin, asked, “Jim, you just mentioned concern about the confusion of the imperial citizens to Lady Blanshette. But are you suggesting to escalate the situation further by opening an imperial trial?”
“However, Your Majesty, in the current situation with rumors circulating, forcing an event like that won’t necessarily dispel the unrest among the imperial citizens. Instead, it might increase anxiety even more.”
Even though I anticipated this situation to some extent, speaking in front of the Emperor and the saint made me nervous.
“In that case, resolving the situation definitively in the name of Your Majesty would be more effective in calming the empire’s unrest. Eliminating the root cause of the problem.”
I concealed my uneasy feelings and presented a prettier smile.
“Fortunately, the saint has also agreed to trust and follow me. If I were to undergo the trial alone, there might be issues of fairness.”
“Lady Blanshette, I…”
“It’s all thanks to the saint. I’m so pleased to be able to showcase our friendship and correct the truth in front of everyone. Isn’t that right, saint?”
The saint’s pupils shook quickly.
“But, Lady Blanshette, isn’t deciding on the imperial trial too hasty?”
When she glared at me with sharp eyes, a sense of satisfaction filled my entire body.
‘It seems like I did very well, seeing her displeased.’
The saint released my hand, put one hand on her chest, and appealed to the Emperor.
“Your Majesty, I also agree with Lady Blanshette’s sentiments, but as it is an important matter, it would be better to discuss and decide carefully after consulting with others.”
“Well, since an imperial trial involves many nobles.”
“Yes. I think I should also speak with the high priest and consult. Even though I am a saint, I cannot decide recklessly. Lady Blanshette, you understand my feelings, right?”
The saint looked at me with a subtle gaze. I responded with a bright smile.
“Oh, don’t worry about that part.”
“…What?”
“You said earlier that this rumor tarnishes not only the saint but also the empire, and more broadly, the honor of the Atea god. At a time like this, exercising force won’t make the unrest among the imperial citizens disappear. On the contrary, it might increase anxiety.”
I grinned as I endured the absurdity of listening to all this nonsense for this moment.
“Surely, the empire will not oppose an incident related to the honor of the god Atea.”
“Still, you need to get the consent of other nobles…”
When the saint stared at me sharply, the Emperor, who had seemed to side with the saint until now, spoke with an authoritative voice.
“Saint, you don’t need to worry about that part.”
“Yes?”
“Jim will take care of the recruitment. As fairly as possible.”
The saint, Stella, froze with a surprised expression.
“T-then, Your Majesty.”
“Prime Minister Orteca, make sure to open the imperial trial for this incident as soon as Stella the saint performs the purification ritual.”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
