The hall suddenly became quiet. The nobles who had criticized Cassil fell silent. He grinned as if enjoying the silence.

"That day was the day the exile ended. So, to see the village, I left the driver and wandered around alone. Maybe she misunderstood me as a commoner, but she beat me up without mercy. It was true."

Cassil proudly shouted.

"I was hit so hard that I fainted on the spot. It wasn't until a few hours later that I came to my senses. So I looked for her. I was going to punish her."

"..."

"Like you said. I didn't know that the robber who assaulted me was a noblewoman. I was just trying to get revenge. It was to protect the authority of the royal family."

Everyone became quiet.

Assaulted the royal family. It was a mortal sin worthy of death! The nobles who were defending Sylvienne fell silent like mutes who had been fed honey. There was nothing to refute, at that time.

"I said"

Kanna spoke quietly.

"I was kidnapped and right before the hunt began, I told them exactly who I was. But His Royal Highness didn't believe it."

"No, I didn't hear it. You didn't say that."

Cassil proudly gave up the joke.

"Even if you said that, you assaulted me. It was an insult to the royal family. Don't you know that insulting the royal family is punishable by death? Even if I cut off your head right now, it wouldn't be a problem!"

"Be careful, Prince."

It must be done in moderation. The Emperor thought so.

However, Cassil seemed to think that he could push forward with this momentum and shouted as if he was unfair.

"Am I wrong? What on earth did I do wrong? This is a woman who should have been sentenced to death anyway! What kind of crime is it to try to hunt down a woman like that?"

That bastard! The Emperor clenched his fists. That guy is losing his mind and ruining things!

"How can you say such a thing. Your Highness! Duchess Valentino is a noblewoman! She deserves a fair trial! I've never heard of a law like this, where a nobleman is sentenced to death by summary execution!"

"His Royal Highness is using the authority of the royal family to destroy the laws of the Empire!"

The Emperor gritted his teeth. That guy ended up saying something he shouldn't have done! If he just did it in moderation! That seems foolish!

"Shut up! There is an Empire above the law, and the royal family is above the Empire! I only dealt with a woman who insulted the royal family, and I am not guilty!"

Cassil was sincere. He could say this because he truly believed it. His father said he would end it with exile.

'No, I don't want that life anymore! I'm sick of It!'

Also under the watchful eye of the knight! Staying cooped up in a corner of the countryside!

Bang bang bang!

The Supreme Court Justice struck the gavel. Interceded with the screaming nobles.

"It is in front of Your Majesty. Everyone, please be considerate."

"Yeah, everyone was so excited. Calm down."

At that time, the Empress, who had remained silent until now, came forward. Her remarks made the Emperor uneasy. That tarantula-like woman is trying to find some fault!
