Chapter 308
Chapter 308
TL: Zimmings
People alternated between Mina and me, and the nine observers also hardened.
Just then,
“Lie-!”
A shout erupted from the crowd.
People’s eyes turned to Mina, who got up from her seat at once.
She shouted, covering her mouth with a pale face.
“It’s a lie. It can’t be…”
Mina staggered out of her seat and stood at the end of the room. She stared at me with bloodshot eyes.
“Are you even using the Duchess’s death as a means of war? Shame on you, Leblaine.”
“…….”
“How can you tell such a lie if you even think about the feelings of Johann, Henry and Isaac!”
The interrogation room became noisy.
In the midst of confusion, some sympathized with Mina.
“For what reason did the temple want the Duchess of Dubblede and the fourth?”
“I haven’t even heard of a fourth child.”
“The duke’s wife died after being embroiled in a power struggle between the Dubblede predecessor and the duke of the time!”
The gazes of doubt grew even more.
The interrogator was confused by the voice of criticism and the gaze of doubt.
Adrian told Prince Andre.
“Are you going to watch it?”
“…… What?”
“We can’t continue the interrogation. Let anyone who interferes with the interrogation out.”
Andre gave Adrian a look. With his arms folded, he clicked his tongue and gestured at the guards.
The guards held Mina. She violently threw tantrums and shouted.
“Please wait, Your Highness. I can prove that what she says is a lie!”
Prince Andre, who was frowning, paused. As the guards tried to hold Mina again, Prince Andre raised his hand.
“Wait.”
He said, narrowing his eyes.
“Is it true that you can prove that?”
Mina quickly nodded her head.
“If you look a little bit, there will be a record of Dubblede, who was attacked by their predecessors’ knights 17 years ago, and issued an emergency order.”
Andre looked at the mage.
A huge book was summoned when the mage gestured, and he soon found a record of the Dubblede’s emergency order.
The mage said, “That’s right.” Andre nodded his head, and Mina continued her speech.
“But, the castle at that time was devastated by the attack of the predecessors, and the Duchess of Dubblede died on the same day that an emergency order was issued. Leblaine was born on February 29th. How could the dead give birth to children?”
Andre and several of the interrogators nodded.
I said calmly.
“I’m not born on February 29th.”
The people once again hardened.
That’s because it was like denying myself that I’m a child of fate.
‘It’s like accusing the temple of creating a fake.’
Andre looked firmly at the cardinals in the observer’s seat, the people of the temple standing behind Mina, and his grandfather, Duke Marche.
Andre’s maternal grandfather, Duke Marche, had a deep relationship with the temple.
If the temple collapses, Marche will also be affected. In other words, it meant that he could also be in danger.
Prince Andre shouted.
“I’m confused about the story that has nothing to do with the subject, so today’s interrogation is only-”
He said that quickly as he would like to have time to discuss with the temple. At that time.
“Can you swear that there is no lie in that word?”
Adrian intercepted Andre’s words.
He must have been trying to help the interrogation I worked hard on. I smiled slightly and looked at him.
“That’s right. I swear before the crest of God and Dubblede.”
Andre exclaimed.
“The interrogation is over-!’
“The birth of the child is deeply related to this matter. Continue your interrogation.”
“Adrian-!”
“Lady Dubblede, keep talking!”
Andre and Adrian confronted each other.
While the two were staring at each other, Andre twisted his mouths.
“The temple, the root of the empire, will be shaken completely.”
“If it is a root that will shake, we have to pull it out and build a new foundation.”
“Can you take responsibility?”
Prince Andre smiled cynically.
“That woman proclaimed the denial of state religion in front of everyone. If that woman’s words are false, the imperial family’s dignity will fall to the ground. Can you take responsibility for all this?”
“……Yes.”
Adrian looked at me.
“I take all responsibility.”
“How?”
“As the last of the Louerg family.”
To bet on his name is the same as saying that he would let go of the throne.
An offer that’s not bad for Andre.
Even if the temple collapsed and suffered damage, if he could push Adrian away, the throne was his.
Andre raised his eyebrows and folded his arms.
Adrian said.
“Lady, continue your statement.”
I rubbed my stinging eyes.
I can’t miss this chance when Adrian had put everything on the line.
“Everyone here knows I’m from an orphanage. The orphan’s date of birth is not accurate. The day the documents are uploaded will become our birthday. Just a little bit of research and you’ll know that what I’m saying is true.”
Prince Andrew narrowed his brow.
“That alone makes you the fourth child of Dubblede?”
“Of course, that’s not the only evidence. Cattlea Wiltson, Dubblede’s relative, is a witness.”
“Relative?”
“She was born with a rare divine power in Dubblede. If my power and mine are mixed together, I can prove that I’m Dubblede’s blood.”
Cattlea Wilston, who had previously been brought in from the Dubblede’s territory, entered the interrogation room.
As Cattlea leisurely walked towards the centre, Mina took a deep breath.
The priest looked at Cattlea in a priest’s uniform.
“When Wilston, a branch of the family, is driven out of their home and wandered around, you know who brought you back right?”
Cattlea glanced at me.
“We are enemies within the family, but outside, we’re not.”
“What?”
Andre called the court mage, and I mixed Cattlea’s divine power and mine in front of the three court mages.
The water moved in a huge bowl, and the power of me and Cattle was mixed.
All three court mages nodded.
“……!”
“Nonsense!”
There was a different disturbance than before in the interrogation room.
I looked at Cattlea, who had her hand out of the water bowl.
“Thank you for coming.”
After finishing work, she stopped and looked back at me.
“Eight years ago.”
“……What?”
“I was able to cure my mother’s illness thanks to the purified land.”
“…….”
“That’s it.”
She said while passing Mina.
“I have pride as a Dubblede, also the people in the territory.”
The priests gritted their teeth.
The cardinal Ridalante shouted.
“Cattlea Wilston is the people of Dubblede! They could play tricks! We can’t trust what lady says with just this!”
I also said without giving up.
“That evidence is not the only one.”
“What, what?!”
I grabbed the magic tool that was hanging around my neck.
“If you allow it, I will make it public.”
Adrian nodded, and I put my energy on the magic tool.
I heard the sound of gears in the air, and a video came out.
Mina is trapped in prison.
The haggard-faced woman stared at me and shouted.
[Bad girl. You mean… Terrible girl! I hate you!]
[Me too. I hate you, you hypocrite.]
[Yes! I’m a hypocrite! I wanted you to die. So I did what the temple told me to do! But this is all because of you! To get rid of a bad girl like you……!]
Mina’s face hardened.
The same was true of cardinals and believers.
‘Then did you think I was going to throw away this secret video?’
I said,
“I was born on February 29th, who had the crest of God. I am a person who has met all the conditions of a child of fate.”
Amidst the noisy crowd, I continued to speak calmly.
“But why did the temple try to kill me? Mina, why did you try to kill me?”
Mina shouted.
“Because you stole everything!”
“Me? What?”
“You deceived people… you deceived my loved ones…”
“What did I deceive! That I wasn’t the real child of fate?”
“That…….”
“I was only four years old when I became a child of fate. It’s the temple that brought me and made me a child of fate! Did I do something wrong here?
“…….”
“I’m not guilty, but they wanted to kill me. That way, they could cover up the fact that they made a fake child of fate!”
People’s eyes were on the cardinals, the priest, and Mina.
I took the watch out of my arms and checked it.
‘Five minutes to go.’
The finale is left.
Mina, who was grabbing her skirt, looked at my brothers.
She looked at Johann, Henry, and Isaac with an earnest look.
“You’ve been fooled by that kid. That’s why you pushed me away cold-heartedly.”
Mina approached them while crying and said.
“I know. I know everything. Actually, all three of you are kind people. You mustn’t be swayed because she claimed to be the fourth child.”
“…….”
“…….”
“…….”
Tears ran down Mina’s cheeks.
‘Three minutes.’
“But no. Johann, Henry, Isaac……. look at me. I’m Mina. I’m the Mina that you’ve cherished like your life…….”
‘Two minutes.’
“You said I was like your real sister. We didn’t need anything when we’re together. I healed your sick hearts.”
‘1 minute.’
“You said you loved me…”
Mina, who collapsed, wrapped her face with both hands.
Isaac said,
“How long do I have to listen to that crazy story?”
Henry burst into laughter.
“If you want to go crazy, go crazy.”
Johann stared at Mina.
