No. 307
The priest shouted with excitement.
“LeBlaine Dubbleed was detained in the imperial palace.”
“The Imperial Palace? why?"
“She went to the Imperial Palace on her own and threw out the temples and behind the battle of Dubbleed. In Dubbleed, she pressed the nobles and turned her interrogation public.
“Public interrogation… … . Why?”
“When there is doubt about the transparency of public interrogation, interrogations are sent across the country through horseback. You must have been aiming for it.”
“… … Do you have anything to disclose to the people in the interrogation?”
"That's right."
Mina bit her nails.
'To do something else.'
LeBlaine was a person who could not be vigilant.
'What the hell are you trying to reveal... … surely.'
Mina's expression hardened.
“I am in possession of the body of the Duchess of Dubbleed… … .”
"Yes?"
“It’s all there is. What can be open to the people and shake me!”
“But I cannot conclude that Mina-sama is her purpose. Isn't it difficult to wait for evidence?”
The priest said, narrowing the eyebrows.
“To reveal that the body is Ressette Dubbleed's body, you have to prove that Ressette's veins and power are mingled.”
“… … .”
“But the only veins for Ressette are the three Dubbleed brothers. They all use horsepower. It means that the body and power with the divine power cannot be mixed.”
"no. I have the remaining veins.”
“… … Yes?"
“Reginald-nim informed me. The ancestors of Grimoire are the father of Resette Dubbleed.”
“… … !”
“If there is someone in the Grimoire family with divine powers, we can find out. That's obviously why LeBlaine wants public interrogation.”
Mina bite the tender flesh in her mouth.
“Because her goal in life is to ruin me.”
"if… … .”
“We have to stop public interrogation!”
“It is impossible. There have already been petitions from 40 nobles who have the right to vote in the State Council, and the emperor's permission has been granted.”
"then… … .”
“By the way, in Dubbleed, did you know that Duke Grimoire is the father of Ressette Dubbleed?”
"I do not know. But in Grimoar, I can't be relieved as I know that Ressette Dubbleed is a parent child.”
“If you do, Mina will be avoiding for a while. If you don't participate in the trial, you can't prove it anyway.”
“Then no one will ever doubt me!”
As Mina screamed at him, her priest looked at her with his surprised face.
He squeezed Mina and narrowed his shoulder.
"Sorry. I wasn't angry. I don't want to be swung over by LeBlaine's masterpiece anymore... … . I can't stand receiving more suspicious glances.”
“… … .”
As a matter of fact, Mina biting her fingernails soon opened her eyes narrowly.
“What if we take those who have divine power in Grimoire for a while?”
“You are going to kidnap Grimoar Banggye?”
Mina shouted loudly.
“It’s not kidnapping, I’m holding it for a while!”
“… … .”
“Wait, just a moment… … . I am not the same person as LeBlaine.”
The priest, staring at Mina, soon bent her back.
“I will inform the cardinals of Mina's will.”
“… … Have you not yet recovered from the Holy Pope?”
“There is nothing wrong with your health.”
“But why haven't you done anything for me yet… … No."
“… … .”
Mina, who swallowed her dry saliva, looked desperately at her priest.
“Please tell me that I believe in His Holiness.”
"Yes."

Imperial Palace Oksa.
The emperor sighed, looking at me, who seemed to be okay even inside the iron bars.
“Really, a child like you… … .”
“It caused concern, Your Majesty. It's just a regretful heart.”
The emperor's gaze reached the traces of the meal rolling around inside the iron bars.
I looked away and covered the banana peel behind my back. Then he laughed awkwardly.
“How will the interrogation proceed?”
“It's a public interrogation as you wants. I was constantly moving in Dubbleed, and I finally did it.”
As I bowed my head to show my courtesy, the emperor sighed, turned his back, and shouted at him as he was moving away.
“Is Okche okay?”
Oksa was dark, so I couldn't even see his complexion, but I could see that he was much thinner than usual.
“There is no day for troubles to go, right. Jim's biggest concern recently is you and Dubbleed.”
“I'm sorry.”
“This is all the help Jim can give.”
I stared at his back. He said in a low voice.
“Because I am the emperor, I am in the center, but I cannot participate in the war.”
“I know, Your Majesty.”
“But,'I' will trust you.”
“… … .”
“Repay your faith with victory.”
"Yes."
I looked once again, and the emperor took a step.
In the house where he left, light penetrated through a palm-sized window.
So four days.
It is the day of public interrogation.
* * *
About 10 minutes before the start of the interrogation, the iron bars were opened. A soldier from the Imperial Palace came to pick me up, and he looked around and said.
“It's the person of Nuanoke-sama.”
It seemed to be the three pieces of Dubbleed that the chairman had hidden in the palace.
“I will tell you the situation of the interrogation.”
There were a total of 9 observers, and the list was like this.
<Three Cardinals>
Blasio, Ridalante, Stefano.
<Three Imperials>
Empress, Prince Adrian, and Prince Andre.
<Three nobles>
Duke of Marshu, Duke of Grimoire and Duke of Amiti.
'The Duke of Amity seems to have released it well in time.'
In public interrogation, I thought I would call the Duke Amity, a symbol of transparency.
If he doesn't show up, there will probably be people who are suspicious.
If the Duke of Amity, loved by the people, disappeared, the public interrogation could be fuzzy due to interest in his disappearance.
So I ordered Empress Cecilia to release the Duke of Amiti before public interrogation.
I had the belief that the Duke of Amity wouldn't tell me that he was kidnapped.
If it wasn't related to Mina, he was the one who would think of me.
Even if it is hypocrisy.
'Is there three sure votes I can get?'
"Cardinal Stefano," Emulin's father.
My maternal uncle, Duke Grimoire.
And'Adrian'.
Empress Empress is a reed-like person, and it's unclear whether the Duke of Amity will join me after leaving Mina. Even if Cardinal Blasio is my friend, I can't be relieved because he is a member of the Neriad.
'In the vote, I have a high chance of losing.'
If that happens, I will be branded as a war criminal and executed, or I will be transferred to a rehabilitation facility in the temples.
'In the end, the method has no choice but to achieve the purpose of revealing my identity in public interrogation and to make the trial itself fuzzy.'
I nodded and said.
"Go."
When I left prison, the Imperial Army and the court wizards came to guide me.
I made eye contact with Wale (fake trigon) between them.
Wale nodded his head unknowingly, and I closed my eyes gently.
I was surrounded by the imperial palace and court wizards and headed for the interrogation.
There was a questionnaire, but the huge staircase was filled with nobles and courtmen.
“LeBlaine Ressette Dubbleed sit in the interrogation seat.”
It was Andrew, the first prince, who was in charge of the interrogation.
I was led by the Imperial Army to sit in the chairman, and a full-scale interrogation began.
Andre asked with a deep expression, plucking his parchment.
“You must be the one who caused the friction between the temples and the Dubbleed.”
“Yes, your Majesty.”
He nodded and read the papers.
“You said you came to the Imperial Palace and revealed by yourself?”
Prince Andre, folded his arms, leaned deeply against his back and muttered.
Then, "Won-chong embroidered. Why did you ask for an interrogation?" She did and she muttered.
I calmly looked around the interrogation. Mina, who looked at me with an anxious expression, made eye contact.
I slowly got up from the seat and lowered my head.
“My Majesty, I lied.”
“Ha?”
“I made fun of the imperial family.”
“… … .”
“I have wasted your precious time with false vomiting.”
“… … .”
Prince Andre screamed with his unpleasant look.
“What the hell do you mean!”
“I'm not the culprit of this battle.”
The interrogation officer was loud.
I looked up again. At the observer's seat, Adrian and my gaze met.
He hadn't looked away from me for a moment.
'It's weird.'
I laughed faintly.
'Actually, I'm incredibly anxious and afraid, but I feel courageous when I see you.'
I said as I looked at the airborne magic tools.
“The battle between Dubbleed and the Temples is not the first time this battle.”
"what?"
"what… … .”
The faces of the cardinals and Mina froze, and the observers and the nobles seated in the seats murmured.
“Dubbleed fought his first war with the temples 17 years ago, which resulted in the loss of the Duchess of Dubbleed and the child she was pregnant with was missing.”
“… … !”
As if the interrogation room was going to burst, it was noisy, and Mina muttered.
"fourth? Fourth?”
She muttered confused. Others' reactions weren't much different.
Prince Andre asked, narrowing his eyebrows.
“It is said that the shrine hit Dubbleed for some reason, and the Duchess of Dubbleed died in the process. Can you take responsibility.”
"no."
“You can’t even take responsibility for words… … !”
“It's not that I can't take responsibility, it's that the cause and effect are wrong!”
I shouted.
“The temples came in for the fourth child with the Duchess in the first place!”
“The increase is!”
"That's me. I am the present-in-law.”
“What the hell are you talking about... … .”
I squeezed the hem of the chimata. And I shouted like vomiting blood.
“Because I am!”
I couldn't stand my tears.
I remember my dying mother, because my dad, who couldn't die, drawing my mother, is pitiful.
“Because I'm the fourth Dubbleed!”
