A few hours later at the Imperial Palace,
“I have never seen a criminal who used magic be released just by the testimony of the head mage.”
Marquis Nodelli, the husband of Princess Ingrid, the emperor’s sister and daughter of the Empress, said.
When Marquis Nodelli, who had as much power as Vallua, criticized Dubbled, one by one, words of agreement flowed out.
“How does the magic for defense break the barrier? What did the child do right after the barrier was broken? Did she ask for the support of the Imperial Palace, did she want to inform that she was attacked?”
“Yes, rather she brought something to the palace through teleportation device.”
“We didn’t even know what she brought.”
“It means the interrogation didn’t go well. Why is it that the lady could enjoy such privilege?”
The nobles who supported Dubbled started to defend her.
“You mean they need to do the usual interrogation to a 9-years-old? It is certain that there will be a serious after effects, risking a life like that…!”
“She used defence magic, it’s not a rebellion!”
“As a result, the palace is safe. Lady has never used magic to attack the Imperial Palace.”
“That’s not the problem, you idiot.”
“The problem is what happens after this,if we release a sinner this easily right now, there would be people who use a child to attack the palace!”
“You’re thinking too much!”
Looking at the nobles arguing with each other, the Emperor pressed his temple.
The one who argued about Leblaine’s punishment was not the problem, the real problem is what happens next.
If they punished Lebaline right now, then there would be no problem.
But…\nThe demise of the Vallua family will come sooner than expected.
