Common Sense of a Duke’s Daughter

Conference

“What … What!”

One of the nominated aristocrats raised his voice. I don’t whether it is because of courageousness or just reckless.

“Didn’t you know at that time? The merchant who purchased all your stockpiles… Divan is a high officer of Twil’s Country. He bought a large amount of food not?, He wanted to send it to his country and reduce the food of this country. It was all a well premeditated plan. “

“Such thing, where is the evidence!”

“Please bring evidence about what you’re saying …!”

Encouraged by the first one, many voices started to shout abuse to Bern again.

That’s inevitable…

They can never admit Bern’s words.

It is a terrible end awaiting them at the moment they admit it.

“There is evidence.”

However, Bern is not worried at all.

I think it’s because he saw them also involved with my excommunication past case.

From his face I understand something like that.

“The Baroness Yuri was already captured and the people of the Twil’s country who had been wandering around the border and had been supporting her so far also were captured and interrogated, and they already let out all the information pertinent the relationship between Twil’s country and Divan.”

I feel that he has changed a lot since the time of my accusation of bullying Yuri in the school.

… Of course, it’s a good change.

“In addition, some of the things that were supposedly decommissioned from the former Pope were seized by Baroness Yuri, which cleverly hid them in her mansion and later sold them to Divan, but as I mentioned earlier we also confirmed that some of the things sold by her had the our country royal crest. It was very nice for you to bring pride in your family name and to print a family crest on anything. Sell everything from my country to that extent I’m ashamed I could never do it, well, it is certainly wonderful to have the royal family crest in our family house to give some more status to it… though I do not understand that feeling. “

Bern laughed. Of course, his eyes were not laughing.

To me, his words mean something like “You can only boast of your own family names not seizing royalty propriety. Stupidity has a limit.. That’s why this time I can not save you even if your heads roll on the floor. “

“Let’s see you later… I and our Highness have already published the evidence for all our kingdom’s people and declared that there are no mistakes.”

“Together with that, we have something more say. It’s about a certain Count… Why were you not in the kingdom even during the disaster? What about your obligations towards your territory? “

I recall the words of Mairo and the report from Tanya.

Of course, she also reported me about it.

Divan’s business is mostly based in Count Monroe territory.

No matter how ingeniously hiding the goods in the territory, when the goods are carried out, the ending place is decided … surely you can only pass through the territory of Count Monroe or the Baron Messa to reach Twil’s country.

That is why he first made a connection with Count Monroe.

And therefore he was transporting the items from there to Twil’s country.

Baron Messa was defending the borders so he was not in the kingdom.

According to the Tanya’s survey, recently he seems to have spent most of his time defending the border between the Count Monroe and his own territory.

We assumed it to some extent at that time that Count Monroe must be an enemy if he needs to defend so strongly from him.

In fact, Prince Alfred kept in secret all this time the information regarding the subordinates of Count Monroe at the border and their relationship with Twil’s country, as he was struggling to gather evidence to dispel the plans of Divan … and the domestic pus.

“It is still wartime even if the cannons are not firing ….”

I remember what he told me at that ball’s party.

Certainly, it is still wartime. Even if it is not a direct battle.

Prince Alfred … No, Dean was fighting for the throne with Ed, and at the same time was in a fighting campaign against Princess Elle and Marquis Maras who were destroying the country.

Have you already removed all the pus from the country? Did the fight end?

Was he carrying a much heavier pressure than I was?

But … I was always being helped by him, though.

When I think so, tears accumulate in my eyes.

“Your Highness”

Dean got a step further than Bern.

Bern already finished announcing the punishment for all nobles, so Dean bowed with a smile and said.

“A nobleman is a nobleman, not because he was not born a noble, but because he was chosen by the precious people under him and because guards and leads his people… It seems that there are those who forgot its meaning, and arrogantly look down upon their people who they were supposed to protect and lead. “

While saying so, Dean looked around the hall.

“People are the blood of the nation, protecting them is, reverence to the crown! protecting the kingdom, protecting its people! That’s the meaning of being a nobleman!

Dean’s voice echoes through the venue again as thunder.

There is no arguments.

“… However, there is no biggest sin than to take the food out of our hungry people to give it to enemy countries. And there is no country who wouldn’t punish a crime of this magnitude. Is there something wrong with what I am saying?”

The people of the First Prince faction stand up one after another and with respect lower their heads to Prince Alfred.

With respect, I also lowered my head.

Each of them is having a thankful sentiment in their eyes to his Majesty.

I also thank him, with a lady’s manners of thanking royalty.

“Capture those whose names were called by Bern! … This will be the end of the session today!”

“Since your Majesty will hold a meeting again at a later date, I ask all of you to stay in the capital until further procedures are determined.”

And today’s meeting will remain in history till the end.
