Return of the Class 8 Mage
145.

That's not a simple interjection.

“Mr tower has admitted his mistake. In fact, he did not try to hide it completely. We can certainly anticipate a number of results as this is a trial, but it seems entirely fair to give the tower lord a chance to explain his position. ”

Ronan is persuasive.

The other high-level magicians nodded in agreement.

“If everyone agrees ...”

Deckard also read the dynamics this time around.

He continues to conduct the trial.

“Please, My Lord, explain the background of the offense you have admitted to. Please explain how you came to teach magic to the princess and everything related to that action.”

Ian closed his eyes slowly.

He had no intention of lying.

He will only tell a part of the whole truth.

Why did I teach him? That's simple.

That was so he could protect the princess.

“Utang owed must be paid back.”

The princess helped Ian's family. When the dragon army attacks and causes chaos, the princess, along with Oliver, saves her family. Furthermore, he took full care of them until the end. That's the way to pay it back.

“It was an opportunity to clear his conscience.”

At the same time, it was a form of comforting himself. As mentioned earlier, Ian was on the side that strictly forbade passing down magic illicitly, and hence training the sorcerers as a result.

His belief is still the same now.

However, he got lost from his own core beliefs with his actions. No matter what the reason was, he had abandoned all the belief systems he had? That regret was in some form that he wanted to spill.

“ME.”

Ian opened his eyes.

Then he started talking.

“I know that the princess is a witch since 7 years ago. Of course at the time, I saw it by accident, so I was the only one who knew it. Since then, I completely forgot about it for the next 5 years.”

He omitted the talk about heart stone mushrooms.

That's because he had no other choice.

“Meanwhile, as I had mentioned earlier when the 5th prince had attempted to kill the emperor, I had investigated those who, after the execution of Herbert, the former master of the Ivory Tower tower, had, has just risen to power in about 5th prince. The key people were Dumpil Moret, the imperial bodyguard and Oburn Parker, the noble of the imperial city. In the process of investigating them, I needed the identity of the princess. It is not easy to break through the circle of nobles as a witch.”

Of course, the stories related to Dragonians were omitted as well.

Ian's explanation is over.

There is clearly no point of lies.

However, it was a little different from what actually happened.

Silence enveloped the meeting room.

“I want to ask a question to the princess, miss.”

Deckard's voice broke the silence.

He's talking to Hailey Greenriver's daughter.

“Is what the tower lord just said all true?”

“…..Yes.”

The princess certainly did not lie. He had no idea that Ian was chasing after the heart stone mushrooms, and the Dragonians. What Ian had just said was what the princess knew as the whole story.

“What exactly did you help her with?”

“It was my request to present as a buyer at the secret auction hosted by Oburn Parker, the noble of the imperial city. As requested, I have attended and after that, I was taught breathing techniques and received some suggestions.”

The high-level witches also recognized the princess' words as true. There was no other indication that they could sense from the cooperative interrogation magic they were applying. Even though Ian was beside them, they did not consider interference a possibility. Isn't that a case of admitting fault entirely?

“Good. I will continue my question.”

From then on, it had only followed the original intent of the trial. Almost all the questions were directed at the princess. The princess also complied fully with her response. How could she hide the fact that she was a witch and the reason behind it all. A lot of time had passed and finally the trial seemed to be coming to an end.

“I want to offer the princess, miss, the last chance to talk. Please speak freely if you have something to say at this time. ”

Last chance to speak freely.

Princess Hailey was observing the area.

Kevin, the imperial palace mage, looked calm.

And the servant girls trembled in fear.

As if she was determined, the princess started talking.

“…..I am guilty of violating a strictly prohibited state law. I am ready to accept all forms of punishment. If not, I will not move forward. I do not want any favoritism that can be given to a noble. Please grant judgment and punishment that is fully in line with the imperial law and the Ivory Tower. Only.”

Hailey spoke calmly.

Then he added one condition at the end.

“Those who know that I am a witch but keep it a secret from others. Mr. Kevin and the servant girls did nothing wrong. They just obeyed my orders, applying pressure as a noble. They will lose their mind if they don't obey me. Please consider all these things and just punish me, and only me.
