Damn, I recarneted As A Judge in Fantasy World

The trials that followed were of a rather troublesome kind. It was similar to the second case I took on while possessing Abel Carrier's body.

That's why it's there: the transfer of land between the County of Titus and the County of Braden. It was returned to the direct control of the imperial family, and then I took it back.

That place is now the Midias region.

"Territorial disputes are the most difficult."

Isn't this an area that is difficult for judges to control? Originally, irresolvable disputes between nobles were settled through duels. If things became excessive, it could lead to a war of attrition.

Finally, the emperor issued a decree granting priority to the trial.

'It sounds difficult, but it's not really a big deal. It just means to come to court and try to resolve it.'

The reason was that they would gather troops and pretend to fight like that, and then they would rebel.

In the empire, the emperor's word was law, so all kinds of lawsuits were filed. But it is unlikely that a local court can handle matters that are difficult to resolve even in the capital.

So, there were numerous territorial disputes that were not properly assigned.

"This is something that only I can do."

Even if he was a seasoned judge, his rank was at best a count.

He was a single-generation nobleman with only one title the size of a booger. Since he could not have a successor, his actual power was also extremely weak.

Although it was a title created to elevate the status of judges, it was often ignored. In cases of territorial disputes or major social events, they are not very effective. It was inevitable.

So, that's why empror gave me the position of Supreme Court Justice.

"Why does a land war have to happen?"

The conference room where witness questioning began. I just threw out a word.

Then, as if they had been waiting for it, a fierce fight broke out between the two sides.

"The owner created a mine on the mountain behind the estate."

"No. We just dug a tunnel in our territory. We never invaded your land."

"What are you talking about! I can hear you little rats digging with pickaxes underground."

"Because the stone rings. You don't know such a simple truth. What an unbelievable intelligence."

"What?"

"Where is this human being, spitting out curse words?"

"And you keep being stubborn!"

"stubborn? Even talking nonsense needs to be contained."

"Want to have a go at it?"

"Come on. Come on. You little shit."

Trying to grab someone by the collar in the conference room was standard. It seemed like they might end up fighting each other. I struck the gavel with a solemn expression.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

"Be quiet. We are currently questioning a witness. What are you talking about?"

"Ahem!"

"Hmm."

Only then did both sides become quiet, with a hollow cough.

The incident was caused by a mine between the County of Valdei and the County of Justinian.

But I had looked at the relevant documents in advance, so I could understand the fundamental reason.

'Those guys would have fought even if it weren't for the mines.'

The imperial county was as large as any small western state.

So, you could say it was a kind of country.

Counts Valdei and Justino were old enemies. There was a deep resentment between the families that lasted for over ten generations. In fact, there was no way to solve this.

A beggar who lives by mediating appropriately. The problem now is that I have to take on that role.

'It's hard to reconcile, so I just have to make them ignore each other.'

As I watched the two counts quietly, my head started to throb. But then suddenly, a brilliant idea occurred to me.

At the very moment when I was absentmindedly picking up the slipper and trying to wipe the sweat from my forehead.

-Hey! You rotten bastard. I told you not to do something like that!

"Your fur absorbs sweat well. The size is just right."

-Carry a handkerchief with you!

"Even if I have it, I'll use you… Wait, try using this?"

A mountain on the border of a territory. If I just block it there, there won't be much interaction between the two families, right?

'It seems like this is an issue that requires a business trip.'

* * *

Fortunately, the destination was not too far. It was a bit further away than the Erset mine I had visited before.

Still, to this extent, it can be said to be in the suburbs of the capital because it's a distance that can be reached in one day.

If I go out for an overnight stay and come back, there won't be any problems with my work afterwards.

"I don't know what to do with myself, thank you for taking such great care of me."

"Please spend tonight at our Valday Castle."

"Ha! You mean to say that you wanted to welcome His Highness the Duke to such a shabby place? We have prepared a first-class guest room in Castle Justino. I am sure you will like it."

The two counts flattered him without fail. They must be struggling to get a slightly more favorable verdict. But I had no intention of granting their demands.

"Okay. I'll take care of where to sleep."

"Huh? Oh, yes."

"Then I can find out where you sleep… … ."

Count Justino, who had been clinging to me until the end, was crushed by a single glance from me. I thought I would get scolded if I continued talking.

Actually, I was preparing to do that. Still, the two counts were not oblivious, and now they kept their mouths shut. After quite some time, we finally arrived at the mine that was the cause of the problem.

"This is it. But, I heard there are tunnels in the Valday County too?"

"Yes, that's right. That rotten bastard... no, he's digging holes on the other side."

"Are you saying you work on multiple places at once?"

"They are blinded by greed. The ground will definitely become unstable."

Count Justino grumbled, the corners of his lips curling up. Then Count Valdey immediately refuted.

"We are only working on one tunnel. We had to drill several tunnels because the mining volume was insufficient."

"Is it stable now?"

"Yes, that's why we're only deploying miners to one location."

I haven't checked yet, but it doesn't seem to be a lie. Because Count Valdey's answer was full of confidence.
