Northern Duchess
Chapter 149

"Count Leonardo was a wise and just man and someone dear to the previous Duke this year he was 55 years old, but theoatjya after a few months of the death of the last Duke, he made a rebellion and thought to seize the existing power"

"Therefore the Baron who was a unit of higher-ups at that time told the subordinates to arrest him on Monday x month x year xxxx in front of the house"

"And because of all his crimes he was sentenced to death but given all his services that have been given a lot of relief with a life imprisonment" said the prosecutor.

The prosecutor immediately backed down waiting for orders from Melody again.

Melody herself she doesn't think about jail time for a lifetime? Not that it's worse than dying, I'm sure Baron Wilton must be crazy, ah no traitor it's crazy.

"A pretty interesting story, then is there any evidence?"ask Melody about the prosecutor.

A different prosecutor is now advancing.

"Greetings Your Majesty"

"Based on the investigation at the time some evidence was found at the Count's residence in the form of files containing rebel plans and several witnesses who were loyal subordinates of the Count" the prosecutor said.

"Well, there's a witness, and then can you get the witness out?"ask Melody.

In fact he did not even believe the witness was speaking the truth, and also what his loyal subordinates if indeed they were loyal they would never divulge the secret, he said, it was instead like that they were not loyal subordinates but vice versa.

"Sorry before Your Majesty because the Monster wave at that time most of the witnesses have died and now only leave one person sasi, but _"the force looks very doubtful.

"Why?, what's with the witness?"ask Melody.

To be honest he knows the plot of the case but he hasn't visited any witnesses.

Even the prosecutors who were here in the reel in such a short period of time, they were lucky enough that there were some nobles from Duchy Salvier who had high legal education.

Sir Galib found them two days ago after tracing all the parts of the Duchy villages that still stand.

Who would have thought that there they could find some surviving noble families?

"The witness seems to have experienced quite a severe trauma" said the prosecutor politely while holding his head.

Melody who heard this seemed to think for a moment.

"Then he can't be a witness, a madman can't be trusted at all" Melody said.

He did not accept anyone in their right mind to be a witness and inexplicably thought that it would only be troublesome.

"Okay, Your Majesty" the prosecutor said back.

"Then that means no witnesses?, then bring the evidence in front of me" Melody ordered.

Soon a pile of documents was on his desk.

Reading for a while Melody felt that it was very funny, if he noticed it was the quote of the Count but if he noticed again clearly there were some differences in it.

It even looks that this writing is like trying to imitate something, but it needs to be in the thumbs up that this is indeed very similar.

The count who felt on the call was now staring straight, if this was the yesterday-yesterday thing then he would firmly say no.

After all, he said that there was nothing or nothing at all useless because he would still be wrong no matter how.

They want themselves to be destroyed.

But something unexpected came out of his mouth.

"No, Your Majesty"

Of course the voice made Melody raise one eyebrow, she did not think that the Count would come to grips with the accusations running towards her so easily.

While others were just as surprised Delice just silently felt familiar he thought that the Count still just believed in his Duchess.

As for Marques himself he was shocked and completely distrusted by what the Count had said.

"Hey, base Count sial4n!, aren't you supposed to be defending!?, you stubborn bastard!, this is why you are so easy to drop!"he shouted loudly from the direction of the audience chair even he was now standing while showing his angry face.

He really felt that the Count was a silly person!.

"Calm down Marques don't make a fuss in the ongoing trial" Melody said lightly.

Marques who heard these words immediately looked at Melody.

"Pardon me Your Majesty" he said politely apologizing, feeling guilty that he was carried away with emotion for a moment.

"Hmm yeah it's okay, then can we continue the trial?"asked Melody looking at the Count who was still displaying his flat expression on the old face.

"What can the lawyer of the defendant say?"melody asked looking at the lawyer who was now sitting next to the Count.

The lawyer is none other than Sir Devian.

"Thank you Your Majesty for giving me time to talk" Devian bowed his head slightly.

Melody herself did not respond at all and just stared at Devian waiting.

"Your Majesty I don't think that the Count is guilty!"says firmly.

"Why do you think that?"well, honestly, he thinks the same.

"According to my analysis, what would the Count get if he rebelled?, isn't it only going to bring him to death if the Empire heard of him?".

"What else as all the Duchy Salvier otangs know or can be in a North Duchy originally belonged to one of the members of the Empire but because he was gone then the power was returned to the Empire"clear Devian.

"Then what would the Empire do if the Empire knew that there would be a rebellion?, wouldn't they surely send an army to capture the rebels, under these circumstances the Count would not be able to win at all" Devian said.

"What's the reason the Count rebelled next?, I don't think there's a good enough reason for that, what if it's because of power and wealth I don't think it's true at all, at that time the Count was the one who held power over Duchy at the order of the Empire and if it was because of the wealth it felt unnatural because basically the Count was the richest man in Duchy even his wealth relented duke at the time"
