Even though she had just overly insulted the queen, not only the queen, but also Crown Prince Rixus, kept their mouths shut.
‘Doesn’t that mean she has nothing to say?’
“Madam Deborah, the allegations have not yet been established.”
“Then I’ll show you the proof right away!”
Deborah pointed to Mary Jane.
“My maid, Mary Jane, will show you clear evidence of the embezzlement. After I got a credible tip, I directed my maid to find the evidence.”
“….…”
“Mary Jane, say something!”
Everyone’s gaze, including the chairman’s, were focused on her.
“Lady Mary Jane, please speak.”
Mary Jane, who kept her head bowed in a corner, raised her head at the words of the chairman.
She got up cautiously, then grabbed the loudspeaker magic tool.
“…5 years ago, I became Madam Deborah’s maid.”
‘Yes, we’ve been together for quite some time.’
The corners of Deborah’s lips rose in satisfaction.
‘She’s been filthy useless for a while, but now she’s being put to good use.’
Mary Jane’s smooth, thin lips moved slowly.

“My father, Baron DeCzeco, suffered a great loss in the imperial business he carried out with the Duke of Douglass, and since then… I have been made a ‘slave’ to Madam Deborah.”
“!”
‘……Hey, what are you talking about all of a sudden?!’
The atmosphere over at the nobility seats changed slightly at the untimely remark of ‘slave’.
“Madam Deborah ordered me to do all kinds of evil in return for hiding that fact. One of them was that I had to go to Her Majesty’s office in search of ‘evidence of embezzlement’.”
The nobles began to murmur. They definitely noticed something strange.
“…Mary Jane, say only things relevant to today!”
Deborah, apparently panicked, turned red and yelled.
“I mean, just tell the evidence of embezzlement!”
“Are you talking about this?”
Mary Jane raised the materials she brought.
Deborah pointed her finger madly.
“Yes! The proof of embezzlement! You showed it to me!”
“All of the evidence of embezzlement that I showed you is ‘manipulated’.”
A middle-aged nobleman who was listening to those words from afar let out a low groan.
Without batting an eye, Mary Jane continued.
“You instructed me, Madam Deborah. If there is no evidence, ‘Make it’.”

One of the young ladies, who was listening intently, covered her mouth as if terribly shocked, and whispered, “Crazy woman!”
Mary Jane, who had been enslaved by Deborah for five years, was doing her part well, as if she had been waiting for a situation like this.
“It can’t be… No, I didn’t order the operation! Nobles! I did not!”
Deborah was desperate to persuade the nobles.
“My maid did it alone! To trap me!”
In an instant, and to Deborah’s own surprise, she made something up.
“Even though I covered up and took care of the issues related to the imperial business, Mary Jane usually showed me a lot of disappointment.”
“….…”
“Because I couldn’t pay well after my divorce.”
At once, Deborah painted Mary Jane to be an ungrateful person.
She was also adept at putting herself in the position of the victim.
“Mary Jane, I understand you…! But not like this.”
While the nobles were confused by Deborah’s excuse, Mary Jane smiled quietly.
Then she pounded on the thick pile of papers she had been carrying with her as ‘evidence’.
“The crime of killing Her Majesty’s carrier bird and ordering me to take her letter.”
“!”
“The charge of abetting the assassination of the imperial family for giving the ‘Breath of Johannes’ to Lady Yuria.”

“!”
“The crime of ordering me to sneak into Her Majesty’s office to find and fabricate evidence of embezzlement.”
Mary Jane took the paperwork that was in front of her, went over to the chairperson, and handed it to him.
“This is an accusation against Madam Deborah, of the 281 charges I’ve seen and experienced over the past five years.”
“…This, two hundred and eighty one? Are you kidding me? Me?!”
Deborah yelled at her as if she was stunned.
“I put this together last night with Her Majesty the Queen.”
The nobility roared in surprise. But what surprised everyone the most was Deborah.
She looked up at Berylia with a wretched expression on her face.
When she saw that Berylia was looking down at her with a cold and somber face, it hit her.
‘I’ve been deceived!’
Anger and astonishment filled her chest.
Berylia spoke unwaveringly to the chairperson, who was flipping through the materials.
“Now that my innocence has been revealed, I hereby request a public hearing of Madam Deborah.”
“Yes, I will proceed. Your Majesty.”
Puk!
At the same time as the chairman’s words, the magic stone lights poured out towards Deborah.

Deborah’s pale, tired face was pierced by everyone’s dreadful eyes.
‘Oh my gosh……! What kind of dog shit is this!’
The chairman decided to deal with the major crimes out of the 281 crimes here for now.
Out of about 10 crimes, 8 cases had immediate evidence.
Deborah was helplessly mangled as the evidence was revealed one by one.
She made poor excuses, but then she became frustrated by the evidence that was being pushed.
She burst into tears like she was reflecting on herself, but when it didn’t work out, she screamed.
However, whatever she did was to no avail.
Deborah’s ambition, which was to shine in the highest places, had now changed to a simple one: Let’s reduce the punishment.
She could not be put in prison until she died of old age. She was desperate.
“I didn’t kill the carrier bird! It’s the truth!”
“Are you sure you didn’t?”
“Your Majesty…! I really didn’t do that!”
The high podium on which Berylia was at now looked like a judge’s seat.
Her diamond-like right eye shone coldly again today.
Berylia ordered relentlessly.
“Dig up the evidence.”

“!”
After a while.
Appearing at the public hearing was the private escort that Deborah had ordered to kill the carrier bird.
He brought a carcass of a bird and a torn note in a small box as evidence.
Deborah’s face paled even further, as if she had seen a ghost.
“Uh, how…”
‘I told you to take care of it! To think I’ll be stabbed in the back like this!’
Deborah’s limbs trembled.
Her forehead was distorted like a person being tortured.
‘……When did you talk to that escort?!’
Now, the goal had become more simple; it had been changed to ‘let’s avoid the death penalty’.
She couldn’t back down from this one.
Half-crazed, almost desperate, Deborah said,
“Y-Yuria, that bitch did it alone! I didn’t commit murder or anything like that!”
Now, there was only one major charge left. The crime of giving the ‘Breath of Johannes’ to Yuria.
It was a type of crime against the imperial family.
“I saw and listened carefully. She met Lady Yuria over and over again… and talked about it.”
However, another maid stepped up as if she had been waiting.
Deborah’s face was as ghostly as a corpse.
“I saw the Breath of Johannes in Madam Deborah’s room.”
“!”
“I heard what you two said.”
“Aaaaah!”
Pretty much shouting like a lunatic, Deborah pointed at the escort, the maid, and Mary Jane.
“You, do you think you’ll be okay?”
“….…”
“Will Grace! You killed people while you were an enlisted soldier!”
After screaming that at the escort, she turned and yelled at the maid, stabbing her weakness.
“Years ago, you stole the dead empress’s valuables!”
The private soldier called Will Grace said calmly.
“Three years ago, I misjudged an innocent man as an intruder and killed him… After that, I lived my life hiding my sins, but I always regretted it. I went to the ‘special investigation team’ organized by the Crown Prince last night, and confessed.”
“Me too. Deborah, it was hell while you held on to my weakness.”
The maid looked at Deborah with frosty eyes and said,
“Now I want to pay the price for my sins and get out of this hell.”

At that moment, Rixus, who had been quietly observing, opened his mouth.
“In light of your confession and testimony, your punishment will be lightened.”
Rixus formed a special team to investigate Deborah’s crimes last night, and put Ires in charge. He continued his speech with his characteristic languid tone.
“Since the crime of murder of the imperial family has been committed, the death penalty is certain. The special team will weigh the rest of the crimes and decide what to do with your body.”
“Ah, ah, ah…!”
Shocked, Deborah made a sound that was neither human nor beast.
Full of ugly desires, the duchess who rose from a barony had lost everything completely.
Even her life.
Today’s protagonist, Berylia, finally opened her mouth.
“Take her out.”
“Argh! Argh! Let go of me! Let go of me!”
Deborah was dragged out with a frantic struggle.
It was frightening to see how hard it was.
After she disappeared.
The nobles seemed shocked, and no one spoke easily.
In particular, the Nine Nobles who wished for the downfall of Berylia, had their mental state turned into rags.
I thought quietly.

‘Deborah’s evil deeds are now over.’
Someone had to cut it off.
I thought it was a relief that I cut it off with my own hands.
‘Next…’
I quietly set my gaze on one spot. At Johann, who had an interesting expression on his face.
In a while, Seryl went up to him and handed him a note.
“The Queen has told me to deliver this after the public hearing.”
“Well?”
Johann, who was cheerful as if he had just watched a fun play, looked at the contents of the note and became much more delighted.
〈One out of three meals, if we do it together today, will you stamp it?〉
“Keuk.”
Ah…… This woman.
‘It’s getting more and more fun. I’m going crazy.’
