Bab 26: mercenaries group
Noticing the strange relationship between Baron Rebrandt and the defendant was something even a novice prosecutor could do.
I left the reinvestigation to Prosecutor Sears and rescheduled the trial date. It will probably be resolved in a few days. But surprisingly, a conclusion did not come quickly.
'Well, how can a person change after just a few incidents?'
Corbin Sears still felt a little clumsy. This is what happens when you see something like this even though you pointed out the point.
"If there is no progress, we will not be able to proceed with the trial." Emir Kolund looked at the investigation report with a serious expression.
I was equally shaken. Isn't it necessary to have newly discovered information to make a proper judgment?
This case was vague from start to finish.
What kind of local lord can't dispose of a commoner and has to go all the way to the capital court?
'It's true that it's not normal. Then it's time to show off my patented special move.'
As I sat quietly with my eyebrows narrowed, suddenly Justice Josef Padilla spoke to me.
"That... Your honor?"
"Why are you doing that?"
"The expression on your face looks like you're going to do something unconventional."
"How do you know that?"
"When I went to investigate under the authority of the court, that was exactly the face."
"What do you think?"
"Do you think there is a will to destroy everything?"
I didn't think I showed it much, but he was a really quick-witted guy.
How on earth did he know that I would attack Baron Rebrandt?
"I plan to do so, is there any problem?"
"There are great challenges."
"What is that?"
"Have you seen where Baron Rebrandt is stuck?"
At Josef's hand gesture, I stared at the map hanging on the wall of the conference room.
My gaze moved endlessly to the right.
'I knew it was on the outskirts, but it's quite far.'
Even if I couldn't do it, I had to pass through six counties.
Although it's not quite the border, it's quite a distance away. Josef shook his head with a shocked expression.
"I don't think I can go this time. It is not a duty given to me."
When Giovanni was harassing Viscount Erset of the noble faction, he followed along without any hesitation.
Since the hardships were clearly visible, they seemed to withdraw immediately.
'I don't need this guy anyway. Kolund alone is enough...'
While thinking that, I inadvertently looked away and found Emir Kolund shaking his head vigorously. It was a desperate expression of intention to never go.
"I'm very homesick, so long-distance travel is out of the question."
The words "don't talk nonsense" almost came out, but I managed to keep my mouth shut.
Actually, it didn't matter if the judges didn't follow suit.
Because they are so old, they can become a burden. It would be better to take more useful people.
A mercenary who is good at camping, or a guide who will guide me to Rebrandt territory.
Still, the feeling of shame did not go away.
They could at least offer to help, right?
I blurted out a blunt word.
"You don't seem to have much enthusiasm for solving the case. The will of the two people has been well accepted."
"Well, that's it."
"That's not what I meant..."
I waved my hand and immediately left the conference room. I'll probably get into some trouble.
Because their immediate superior clearly showed his disappointment. However, that did not change the minds of the two judges.
'I guess they really don't want to go.' In the end, it seemed like I would have to solve this case alone.
This is much better than making boring judgments every day.
In the meantime, they will take care of the work. Maybe that's why I didn't feel too bad.
No, to be honest, I was a little excited. Isn't this my first time going outside the capital since I possessed Abel's body? I couldn't help but look forward to traveling in a fantasy world.
"You're going to Rebrandt's territory?"
"That's right. So, please prepare yourself."
"Please just leave it to me."
Butler Miller Xavier finished his preparations in a flash. I selected a servant and a coachman to accompany me, and loaded the luggage with the supplies needed for the trip.
All that remains now is an escort and a guide.
'I don't think there's a need to bring a lot of troops.'
Anyway, I was able to get rid of most threats by myself. It was a body that had a reputation even in the much harsher north.
Still, I needed someone to stand guard while I slept.
"It would be perfect to have a knight at a time like this."
"It's late, but shall we post a recruitment notice?"
"It's fine. Let's do that little by little. It's hard to find someone with both skill and personality."
A knight rarely changed his lord. Because they make a living with honor and pride. The opposite was also true.
It was difficult to break the master-servant contract, so the right person had to be brought in.
In any case, the only ones that could be used right now were mercenaries.
Even if I'm a member of the royal family, I cannot request an imperial guard knight.
"I will post a notice to the mercenary guild."
"Okay, how long will it take?"
"It probably depends on the amount."
"Say you will pay 50% more than the normal request fee. Then we'll get responses quickly, right?"
"Of course, Your Majesty."
To be honest, I wondered how much more money I would save if I were given more.
