Academy's Second Seat [part 2 Complete]

Chapter 246: Past and Future (13)

"......What the hell is this, Ian?"

"I've come as a special investigator of the Empire. Perrian Astria, I am arresting you on charges of using necromancy and for treason."

Ian handed Perrian some documents.

The contents of the documents were the same as what Ian had stated.

The Emperor's seal and signatures from various nobles were on them.

It meant that the content had already been approved in a meeting.

Perrian's eyes widened as he looked at the document.

It would have taken a lot of time for such a document to be issued.

The noble faction and the Emperor's faction had to negotiate to come to such a conclusion.

Many procedures were required before such a document could be approved.

It was a speed that Perrian's mind could not understand.

Of course, the reason it could be issued so quickly was due to many things that had been accumulated over time.

Luna and the head wizard personally organized the documents and handed them over to Ian and Rie, and Ian and Rie had talked in advance before the meeting took place.

When the leaders of the Emperor's faction and the noble faction presented the same opinion at the meeting, the nobles below them just followed their will.

Thus, when the intentions of the Emperor's faction and the noble faction were united, the process was expedited.

There were no delays, and the documents were processed quickly, proceeding through all the procedures at an unbelievable speed.

Perrian could not have predicted such an abnormal situation.

"Damn it... Ian Astria!!!"

Perrian yelled at Ian, his veins bulging.

Ian calmly extended the handcuffs to Perrian.

"I am here as a special investigator now. Please behave accordingly."

"Do you think you'll succeed as the head of the family by doing this? Do you know what will happen if I speak to the other nobles?"

"Father is a suspect now. No one in the Empire would listen to such a person."

Ian answered firmly.

Perrian scoffed at him.

"You think you can survive politically by siding with those of the Emperor's faction? You're just going to end up as a dog chasing chickens, discarded by them..."

"Now, criminal, please keep your mouth shut. Shall we proceed with the investigation? Or are you going to keep chatting?"

Rie handcuffed Perrian in front of her with a smile.

"Ha... Princess, do you think I'll end like this? Do you think this will just pass quietly? You've made a mistake."

"Yes, yes. Let's continue this conversation in jail."

Rie dragged Perrian away.

Ian licked his lips as he watched Perrian's back.

Rudy approached from behind.

As they had come to search the Astria residence, Rudy was also there.

"Isn't this more or less over now?"

"No, if it was over, we would have finished it long ago. The problem starts now."

"From now?"

Rudy tilted his head in confusion.
