Chapter 718 – #96. Jinhaesol (22)
Wooooo!!!!!
Then, boom! A loud popping sound was heard.
Hehe!!!!!”
“Huh!”
“Evil!!!!!”
“S-It’s an attack!! It’s an attack!!!”
The nobles made a fuss in surprise, and the king’s escort knights immediately surrounded the king and prince.
But I was the only one watching the others making a fuss without agitation.
There was no need for this in the first place.
“It’s okay. The doll broke.”
Old man, I’m out of breath.
I quickly explained to the startled King the reason for the sudden explosion.
He thought that if he left it like this, he would be so shocked that he might run out of breath.
“What?”
“It’s a curse. You don’t have to worry because the doll that received the curse instead exploded.”
“Euhahahaha!!!! I really lived! I lived!!!”
Just as expected.
The sinner burst into laughter alone.
“I’m Baron Wenon!!! Baron Wenon is the trickster who asked me to send gifts to the prince’s palace using patronage as bait!!”
“Get Baron Wenon right away.”
“Yes!!!”
The king’s knights began to move busily.
And the king spoke sternly to the agitated nobles.
“As long as the beast is revealed to be a noble, none of you can leave the palace!”
“Me, Your Highness!!”
“Isn’t it a ploy that only a baron can plot? So you guys will have to prove yourselves innocent.”
The king’s words are quite significant.
I didn’t even have to think long.
The nobles said to the king, ‘The prince must prove himself innocent!’ That said.
It is clear that the king kept the words of that time.
“Even though the sinner was lowly and gave such a great opportunity, I apologize for not knowing anything about the real beast.
The alchemist must have felt resentment for not being able to speak for so long. He confided all the information he knew.
Surprisingly, she remembered all of her conversations with Baron Wenon without changing a single word.
I couldn’t get much information from that conversation, but I was able to figure out that the baron himself wasn’t the beast himself.
“There must be someone greater behind them! When Baron Wenon handed me the money, he seduced me into thinking that if I did a good job, I would get a bigger opportunity.”
Recruiting court ladies would have been easily possible, but paying an alchemist to work would have been difficult.
First of all, the qualification itself to sponsor an alchemist requires the status of ‘nobleman’.
Can anyone become a noble?
In that respect, Baron Wenon leaked too much information to attract the Alchemist.
Malevolent malevolent-
…Aaaaa!
“I think Baron Wenon has arrived.”
He heard the sound of picking a pig’s neck from somewhere, and soon after, a nobleman who was being dragged by knights appeared.
No matter how much he rebelled, his clothes and hair were messed up.
“Let go of this!!!! Do you dare to know who I am now!! Aaaaa!
“Looking at his booming voice, it looks like he has an open mouth. I’m going to spit it out.”
The king smiles a meaningful smile.
There was a deep life in that smile.
As if I wasn’t the only one who felt that way, gasps of fear could be heard among the nobles.
She had seen others tortured before, but she soon seemed to realize that she would be tortured herself.
“Hick! Me, me, me, I… Ha! This, what’s going on with all of this! Why, Your Highness, why are you bringing me here…?”
The nobleman, unable to speak in fear and trembling, was placed on a torture chair with his limbs restrained by the knights.
“Sah, save me! Me, what did I do wrong! Who, I’m framed. Please save me! Someone will pay me…! Also, I can pay bail!!!”
I haven’t even told them that I was brought here for a crime yet, but it seems that there were a lot of stabbed parts.
They were crying out for help and using evil as a false accusation.
‘Why did such a small person do such a thing?’
If the liver is small, isn’t it enough to live according to the theme while remaining small?
It is certain that this person will not live long because of his excessive greed.
“It’s noisy. Stop making pig noises and keep your mouth shut. It’s so noisy I can’t speak.”
The knight moved quickly at the king’s command.
Baron Wenon was screaming at the mysterious wad of cloth that came into his mouth. And shut his mouth.
Baron Wennon, who was rolling his eyes here and there in anxiety, began to shed his tears.
‘I think he’ll tell you all the panties he’s wearing, even if he loses just one fingernail.’
The king seemed to have had the same thoughts as me, so he waved his hand at the advisor, saying, “George.”
Chii Iik!
“
Normally, he would look at the liver for a while before losing it, but as if the torturer didn’t like such a procedure, he suddenly brought the iron to Baron Wenon’s thick thigh.
Even though he covered his mouth, the deafening scream resounded through the director-general.
Pretty amount- pretty amount-!!!
How many were burned and tortured like that?
The cloth stained with blood and saliva was removed, and the King finally asked Baron Wennon his first question.
“Who gave you money to buy the alchemist?”
“Huh, heck… Also, money?”
“Yeah. There’s no way you’ve got enough money to buy an alchemist out of your pocket. Who ordered it?”
“Ah…Ah…No. I-I did it with my own money. Black!”
Tears dripping from his eyes, Baron Wennon replied.
Contrary to his appearance, he seems to be quite a spirited guy.
“My, my wife’s family buys and runs the guild. Even so, I have a lot of money. Hey, hey!”
Tears flowed from his nose, and the words he said didn’t even seem like lies.
“If so, why did you send an alchemist to the palace?”
“Hey, the alchemist is a precious, precious, and talented person…Sniff, to the prince… I think it will be a good relationship… Heeeee!!!”
“How dare you lie in front of Jim?! Hit him until he comes to his senses!”
“Yes!!!”
“Huhhhhh!
Chii Yii Yii!!!!
Flesh is burned
“Kuaaaaa”
Toenails are pulled out
Aww!!!!
“Keep…Keep…Live…Save…”
Torture is applied, such as pouring ice water on the injured area, followed by hot water.
For one lie, it was a fairly high level of torture.
“Hey, Your Highness. It’s against the law to torture a noble this hard…!”
“That man is a bloody beast who tried to slander the prince! This is tantamount to treason!! Who dares to vomit at interrogating a traitor!!”
“!!!”
It seemed that this country discriminated even when interrogating commoners and interrogating nobles.
In addition, the king mentioned treason.
There was no one who couldn’t help but tremble in front of that word.
“Bah, up to treason…”
“Can I say no? The future prince is my successor. Trying to frame such a prince is shaking the foundation of the country!! How can it be said that it is not treason!”
“The prince hasn’t officially become the heir yet, Your Highness!”
“That’s right. The prince is still…!”
At this rate, the successor might be taken away by the prince! I saw everything I thought.
I guess everyone is out of their mind.
You can tell what he’s thinking just by looking at his expression.
‘That’s why you should have decided on a successor. I should say thank you because I ate it so easily thanks to you.’
Before I came here, the king had never asked nobles to choose a successor.
If he had chosen his next successor in haste then, he would have had something to say in this situation.
However, the nobles were greedy, and an unexpected successor named ‘I’ appeared.
“I’m thinking of the prince as my successor. Is that not enough?”
The nobleman closed his mouth like a clam at the king’s voice that resonated heavily.
The nobles were restless as to what to say, what to do, and what to do to stay still.
Aren’t the nobles the ones who want to cut the head of Baron Wenon the most here?
“Sa, save me!!! I’ll tell you everything! Aaaaa! It hurts!!!!”
The well-bred nobles were vulnerable to torture.
Baron Wenon, unable to withstand the increasingly severe torture, squawked and said he would tell them everything.
As far as I can see, that wasn’t torture at a level that humans could endure.
“Stop.”
When the king heard this, the torture stopped.
The aristocrat, whose face was cut in half in an instant, breathed heavily and shed tears.
“Are you determined to speak properly now?”
“Yes, yes. Mo, I’ll tell you everything. My…Heh…I can’t tell you everything I know. My, the person who told me to buy the alchemist…”
Baron Wenon tightly closed his eyes and spat out the name of the beast.
“Oh, Lord Oddman, it’s him!”
Oddman ‘Ball’.
Surprisingly, the identity of the beast was a royal family, not an aristocrat.
♧ ♧ ♧
Oddman ‘Ball’.
Although he was named as the next successor several times, there were many nobles who objected to him because he was too old.
However, despite this, there were many nobles who acknowledged that he was not a bad person as the next successor.
First of all, the fact that the relationship with the king was not too bad and the fact that the character itself was not evil and gentle was also evaluated as being easy for nobles to handle according to their taste.
He had a weak temper and was also the younger brother of the only son of the queen whom the king left without purging.
All other members of the royal family came from concubines and were younger siblings who did not pose a threat to the throne.
To the king, who was attached to him as a close brother, his brother’s betrayal made him feel both shock and deep anger at the same time.
“Right… Right now… Right now, that guy… Ugh!”
“Majesty!”
The king’s old and sick body could not overcome the shock he received upon hearing the identity of the beast.
The king has fallen!
Hope for the nobles who had closed their eyes at the thought that everything was over.
It was the moment when despair came to the prince who believed in the strong king and hid behind his back.
At least it must have felt that way to the nobles.
How would you know?
That the prince who was being protected by the king was neither naive nor stupid.
Rather, the prince was doing nothing because of the king.
The aristocrats should have paid more attention to the fact that the prince brought a ridiculous artifact and solved the ‘contract’ on the alchemist.
♧ ♧ ♧
“How are you feeling?”
Hearing the news that the king had fallen, he asked the priest who came running.
“You are very upset.”
I recognized it from the time the old man overreacted.
It could be done in moderation, but I wondered if he was pushing the aristocrats too passionately and then going backwards.
Sure enough, the thing I was worried about happened.
“Never overdo it. You should take a break.”
“All right.”
As the priests and healers left, I looked at the sleeping king, and for some reason I became distraught.
I didn’t know that I would feel the father’s affection that I had never had in my life, from a relationship built up through lies.
After all, isn’t giving affection to me for your own achievements?
He wouldn’t really consider me his son.
‘Isn’t it really…?’
Since he was a person who was always nice to himself, it was difficult for him to remain cold-hearted.
‘I’m leaving soon…’
Even though I thought I shouldn’t give it to him, I thought that a corner of my heart would be empty when he really left and remained in this world alone.
