Chapter 143

“That can’t be… It must be some kind of misunderstanding.”
She was usually the Countess of Salnea, who exchanged lazy pursuits, but her voice was trembling at the direct orders given by the king.
“I told you. I testified that the victims were done to you. Dresses and other items of evidence were also held up. Sufficient sin can be proven. Whether it’s a nightclub or a tea party, it’s forbidden for your group to host them. Just thank God you weren’t punished.”
“Oh, no…”
Why the hell did the testimony leak…… Sarnia didn’t get it. The target should have been properly weak or had chosen something that could never be defied due to its relationship with the house.
The inability to host a place of socialisation was like half-dead as a noble lady who built power with her life on them. If you don’t have a place to be a host, nature and your position will also fall apart.
“Don’t think about retaliating against those who testify. If you do that, I’ll take every title of your husband.”
“It’s tyranny! No matter how much Your Majesty, if you do that, the nobles will rebel -”
“I don’t mind. If there’s anything about being rebellious in this matter, I’ll put it together and deal with them. It was more unpleasant to have to hear about the scandal you would have caused during this busy time than that. If you try something next time…”
Roy said looking down at the Countess Sarnia.
“I’ll kill you.”
Was there a non-king-like word to threaten, or rather earnestly?
Roy, the country’s supreme power and user of Australia’s most powerful class of swords, stared at her killer, and Countess Sarnia leaked her voice “hiccup” and slipped her hips. The Lady, who is no longer even able to rise, is returned from the Royal Palace to her house by soldiers under Roy’s direction.
My face was bright blue and frightened when I left this place. Zollus decides that he can no longer disobey Roy’s orders.
But I doubted it.
“Your Majesty. How the hell did you take testimony from the ladies? No matter what they asked, they kept their mouths shut.”
“I said it would be detrimental to your house if I didn’t testify.”
Roy said something absurd. Zorus accidentally wanted to hold his forehead.
“Your Majesty, that’s blackmail”
“No, it’s true. uncle. It was actually to their detriment to leave that woman alone”
“It’s a scam.”
Zorus suppressed his forehead.
“Sire, I have advised you many times that you have too many problems with the treatment of women. So is Fi about your case. Why did you grant permission to attend a tea party that was problematic?”
“Because if I didn’t order you face-to-face directly when I gave you the order, you could have run for revenge on the witness. Rather than deliberately pointing your feet at that woman’s house, it would be more efficient to bring her to the vicinity of the king’s capital to feed her, so she doesn’t have to interrupt any other work.”
Zollus frowns.
“Master Phee is royal and even your wife. What were you going to do if the Countess Sarnia caught your uncomfortable eye”
“Because I was willing to finish before the tea party. In some cases, it was just right to suppress the scene and reinforce the evidence. Nothing’s wrong.”
There was no way there was a problem. But on Roy’s mind, this is all there is to it.
“Uncle, you seem to be very careful not to bother giving orders to stop them the day before.”
“Naturally. Your wife, though the Queen.”
For a moment, the eyes of Roy and Zollus fit together.
“Your Majesty, you should learn more about the treatment of women”
That was something I’ve told Roy many times.
“Uncle, I am the king. If you want to make women happy, improving their living conditions and making their country richer is what leads to it. You don’t have to be personal. No, it would rather be wasted on one person and the efficiency of the job would be reduced to their detriment for that matter. You don’t need to be liked anywhere.”
And the response from Roy remains the same.
He’s right, it’s true that on a personal basis, while coldly hitting women, Roy is aggressively doing that by improving the working environment of the samurai, by setting up a point of contact to report when harassed by high-ranking nobles, and by creating a system to rescue women involved in crime.
As a result, it has become a series of streams until we shove the women who have become fond of Roy.
It was a headache issue for his neighbors.
However, Roy’s reputation has improved in this matter. Even though there were some problems with the method, they smashed the shady group that had been a problem among the neighboring aristocrats for a long time. The witnesses threatened by Roy also eventually thanked him for the lack of revenge from his wife after that at all.
That was something I had to admit even to Zollus.
