Grabell Zafin Asura.
He moves straight towards Ariel.
"Ariel, what are you doing? Causing such huge commotion when Father is still sick?"
"What commotion ... I did nothing except protect the honor of the royal family."
"If that is the case, then think about the time and place."
Grabell shook his head while frowning.
"Now that Father has fallen ill, without Darius’ skills what will become of Asura Kingdom?"
"Even so, a crime is still a crime."
“Even then, it’s between Senior Minister Darius and the middle-ranked Purplehorse nobles. I shouldn’t have to tell you that there are more important business the kingdom must attend to. "
Speaking about social standings so openly.
In my previous life, cries over fairness and condemnation would be heard, but this is the Asura Kingdom.
Social status is part of life, so the people of this world accepts it.
"Yes, of course brother. But I will still repeat it again, a crime is a crime. If no one passes judgement, the kingdom would fall in decline. "
“Crime huh...... ? Indeed. Indeed, That's right. But Ariel. There are many people in this place who ought to have their crimes exposed and receive punishment like that. I wonder, do you intend to punish all of them? "
"Yes, of course. If it’s necessary."
She's implicitly saying [If it's unnecessary to me, I won't punish crimes.]
If this spreads, the Asura Kingdom will rot enough for the smell to linger.
"I think your judgment against Darius is unnecessary, however you say that it is necessary."
Grabell laughs scornfully and directs a composed smile to Ariel.
"Looks like we won’t be able to come to an agreement on this."
"That's right."
Grabell shook his head and sighed.
He looked over the surroundings.
“There will be no conclusion if we’re debating with only two people. Until we settle this matter, Senior Minister Darius will remain troubled by this... "
And, Grabell is overlooking the surroundings.
How will things proceed, I wonder.
“In accordance with normal conventions, these things are usually decided by majority votes. Since you have put so much effort in gathering most of the stalwarts of this country. Why not let them decide who is right, Ariel or I?”
Democracy .......
When there is no other way, it will come to that.
He is asking the nobles around.
Go to Ariel’s side, or stick to Grabell.
Yet, he thinks either way he will win.
With this, he also wants to confirm.
To confirm the allegiance of each nobles.
Thus, if you’re the enemy, you will be purged.
"......"
The nobles were not in turmoil or anything.
They’ve thought that someday this moment will eventually come, in the near future as well.
Or maybe it has already happened once between the First Prince Grabell and the Second Prince Halfaus.
Regardless.
The nobles have to decide.
Now, in this place, you can either go to Ariel’s side, or you can join Grabell.
It is not a place where they could keep their allegiance a secret.
They will choose who to support face to face.
Looking at the situation of this opportunity to make a decision.
Darius sank.
For Grabell’s Faction, it is a big blow.
However.
For the Grabell Faction, a number of influential people still remain.
Two of the four great local lords, Notus and Boreas.
Besides them, several upper nobles are aligned with Grabell.
If you look at the strength ratio, Grabell will most likely win.
“Very well, brother. But, before that, I would like to introduce one more person to everyone."
"What?"
