"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I...it was my negligence. I didn't expect it to turn out like this." The duke who was called out was quite old. When he heard Emperor Sel blame the crime on himself, he actually began to climb down by relying on his age.
It looked like he was kneeling down, or crying bitterly.
"Negligence? That's all it takes? This is a challenge to my rule, this is a provocation to the Williams family's rule... Go explain this to the people yourself. If you can't find the murderer within three days, you'll lose your title as Earl."
Emperor Sel's words shocked everyone present!
The family honor of the nobles has never been arbitrarily deprived. When Sean was in the Bashalan Empire, even when he was later slandered for treason, he did not order the deprivation of his family name. After all, the rule of a family in a certain area is deeply rooted, and this time Emperor Sel actually wants to take back the noble status.
Apparently this was starting to get out of hand.
The Duke named Fiesta looked up helplessly, his eyes filled with both pity and anticipation. He'd actually met this man before, a few days before at a banquet, when Earl Barton had introduced him and they'd spoken to each other a few times. But those friendships were nothing, and Sean wouldn't choose to speak at this moment.
I don't even want to be involved in the whole process.
"His Majesty!"
"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. There are others... Braden, Robin and Lionel..." He mentioned many names in a row, but Sean didn't write them down because he didn't know them.
Basically, it means that if the investigation results are not produced within three days, these people will all be demoted, and before that they will have to explain to the residents of the city themselves. After thinking about it, all the blame may be shared... Anyway, when something goes wrong, someone has to stand up and take the blame. Unfortunately, this group of people were named.
After explaining everything, Emperor Sel's anger seemed to have subsided a little, and he was obviously more apologetic when talking to him.
Of course, Sean knew when to stop and said that he would be at your disposal at any time if he needed help... Of course, these were just polite words. The dozens of soldiers he had were not even as strong as a regiment here, so why would they need his help?
Anyway, Sean just needs to continue living in the Kselk Palace at his own pace. If there is any news from Yalan Castle, he can prepare to leave. They should have received his letter. Based on General Malo's understanding of the sea, they have probably entered the sea area he designated by now.
It shouldn't take long, Sean thought to himself.
I had wanted to go to the Royal Academy to take a look, but it seemed that all the guards in the entire imperial city were dispatched today. There were too many people, so I didn't go any further.
"Prince Sean."
Not long after he walked out of the hall, a voice suddenly called him.
Frelia and I turned back together...
The man in front of him was one he had never seen before. He was dressed very gorgeously. Unlike the other ministers in the hall just now, this man seemed very calm after coming out. He was probably around thirty years old, maybe less than a little older... a little older than himself, but not too old. He also secretly glanced at Frelia beside him.
The favorability is [Friendly] and the level is that of an ordinary person!
"Who are you."
"Your Highness may not recognize me. My name is Swift Williams. I just arrived in the capital from the south yesterday. I've always heard that Prince Sean is in the palace, so I really want to meet him."
Swift Williams?
This surname belongs to the Keselk royal family, so how can you say he is a prince?
Perhaps the other party also got the answer from Sean's reaction and behaved more naturally.
"I've always lived in the south. His Majesty the King invited us here on the pretext of dealing with the pirates, and I wanted to meet the prince from the desert. I never imagined something like this would happen." He said this with regret, but the [Laughing!] expression above him betrayed him.
After just a few days of contact with the ruling class of Keselk, Sean discovered that the country's political power was still as chaotic as it was twenty years ago, and there had been fierce internal struggles from the beginning to the end.
Twenty years ago, he even poisoned the emperor's only daughter. Although he later learned that it was because of Naya's existence, the fact that he had such courage meant that there were serious class contradictions in the country's political system. Now, seeing the prince's gloating behavior, he is even more convinced.
"It's Prince Swift!"
"Those are just empty titles. I'm just a royal exile. I don't have any hobbies. I just read books and go fishing to pass the time."
Now Emperor Sel is worried about the assassination of Rocks' murderer, but this prince seems to have nothing to do with it.
"I wonder if Your Highness has time. I have a quiet little courtyard outside the imperial city. I heard that Prince Sean likes to read and relax. Why don't you come and sit with me?" the other party took the initiative to invite.
It seems that the prince is planning to invite me.
"Today? I may have to apologize to His Excellency the Prince, because I plan to go back and make some arrangements regarding what happened yesterday." Sean didn't want to get involved in the factional struggle in Kselke at this time. When he was an earl, he was almost neutral, and now that he is from another country, it is even more impossible.
"It's okay. I'll invite you again if Your Highness is free someday." The prince in front of him didn't seem willing to give up. Before leaving, he emphasized his willingness to come again next time.
