Capítulo 912: Chapter 912- Simon's Call and the Unknown Enemy (2)

"Sir Chancellor, what are the punishments for such crimes against the crown in the old law?"…

The chancellor read out the charges for each crime.

"For smuggling weapons out of the kingdom, those found guilty are to be stripped of their wealth and sent to the mine to serve for at least twenty years. For trafficking substances in and out of the country, the minimum punishment is at least fifty years in the mine as well as the seizure of all wealth and land"

"As for colluding with enemy nations and leaking classified state intel the punishment is… removal of all titles, land and authority. The guilty is to be sent to the prison for life".

At the end, the chancellor added, his eyes darting towards the queen "Of course these are the old rules".

The kingdom was different now. It had welcomed its first ever queen as the monarch. She wasn't like her father the former king whose authority had completely dwindled.
