Evil always comes from courage

Use lies to cover up the truth. One is often not enough. At least two must be prepared. Especially lies from others, which can better control the truth than those revealed from the mouth of the person involved.

——Maevus Trone

So I proposed to everyone that for the time being, I would manage this child in everyone's eyes, a runaway slave, a sinner, and the controversial property of Redner Manor.

According to the current situation, no one can say whether he is still a branded person or whether he has received a pardon from the Vincent family. Since it is impossible to determine whose property he is, it is also impossible to know whether he is still free. Naturally, it is more reasonable for me, someone who has a close relationship with Redner Manor, to take care of my body.

I think most people will not refuse the conditions I am proposing now. Killing him will do no good to anyone. It will only dirty their hands and stain the blood of innocent people for no reason. Saying no It would be fine if he was really guilty, but if he later found out that this young man was innocent, he would probably have trouble sleeping and eating, and he would feel bad for a while because he had ruined a young life because of his recklessness.

Susan Warrior quickly dismissed my proposal after I raised this point

"I think this kid is an escaped slave. Rather than judging whose property he belongs to, we should punish him as if a slave defected. I suggest hanging this nonsense sinner immediately."

This is against the etiquette and law, at least not in line with the etiquette and law of Christian Imperial City. This is not the behavior of knights, nor is it an excuse for royal nobles to despise the royal law, nor is it a way for businessmen to calculate profits. On the contrary, this is what Susan warriors do. In addition to being vulgar and rude, these words also highlighted her character of wanton contempt for authority. Perhaps if Soldier Melody had been present, they would have stopped Soldier Susan from saying such stupid words.

(The new king's legislation was made by King Will Edward of the Christian Imperial City and Queen Specter Schtrom of the Blecid Empire, after referring to the legislation of the five countries, summarized a complete and unified set of bills. After the issuance, the five countries all followed the new law. Legislative execution of trials, etc., no one has the privilege to go beyond legislation to execute trials.)

I knew that this matter was not so easy to get the result, so I could only sigh. I looked at the shameless face of Susan Warrior, and from I have never felt more awake than now. This is much easier than watching a hanging or witnessing violence.

Although no one spoke, I knew very well that at this moment, whether it was the Lord Knight or the representative of the Chamber of Commerce, Maybe even the waiter, after hearing this, would think that Soldier Susan was a scum with no authority and no regard for human life. Even Police Officer Nicholas Ancifer felt that she was unreasonable, cruel and without any sense of proportion. woman.

When everyone saw me sighing, they all looked at me, as if waiting for me to say something. I smiled politely. I can't always feel guilty for everything I have done in the past. The death of Kos, Fen The cowardice shown by Captain Nice, and the failed expectations of Frandeau.

Now is not the time to quarrel. I should also make the posture that a representative should have, choose and make decisions. I am a nobleman, and I should also act like a representative. With royal blood, I am a Vincent and an Alice. I should not be afraid of anything, at least I don’t need to be afraid of this rude person who despises the vulgar legislation.

I bowed slightly, and then smiled helplessly laugh, say;

"I'm sorry everyone, I want to confess my thoughts to Warrior Susan, which is a bit offensive, but please forgive me for being a little embarrassed for a moment."

Mr. Alcock Arrow, who represents the Chamber of Commerce, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. Knight Bansfather Bate also looked at me with a little doubt, Reifand Jonathan looked slightly surprised, and Pope Waldo looked at me. It's still the same attitude of watching from the sidelines.
