It was that woman again, Namia Rawabi.
Right when Kiaros furrowed his eyebrows.
Frun suddenly pointed at Usun and said:
“I thought the man with the clay eye was suspicious at first.”
At that moment, everyone tilted their heads.
Fron continued without hesitation.
“Think about it.
I only went out during the day on weekdays to buy poison.
When on earth has this man seen me?”
Osun immediately shouted, perhaps feeling aggrieved.
“I have certainly seen Your Majesty there many times!
And this is the store owner’s testimony...”
"That's right.
Who said you didn't see me?"
Fron laughed and raised her chin.
“It's weekday work hours.
Why did you go out instead of work?”
“Oh my God, my presence state has nothing to do with this problem...”
“Why doesn't it matter?”
This was when Kiaros was stunned.
Fron looked at Namya from afar and began to stammer.
“Article 4 No.
Article 3 Section 1 of the Special Law of the Imperial Family, all members of the Imperial Family may manage, influence, and uh supervise the officials of the Imperial Family.
Article 5, Section 11 of the Special Law of the Imperial Family, all members of the Imperial Family may verify various working conditions of public officials through various types of inspection or audit.
A- According to Article 33, Section 2 of the Law of the Knights of the Imperial Palace, the Imperial Knights may conduct targeted, limited, or even entrapment investigations targeting suspicious individuals with the permission of The imperial family.”
The courtroom was immersed in silence.
Even those who saw Fron for the first time today could tell that something was strange.
With her difficulty following her speech and stuttering, only a few people were able to understand exactly what Fron was saying.
'Hmm?'
Kiaros, one of the few people who understood those words, blinked in utter bewilderment.
“What, is this accurate?”
However, he could guarantee that Frun did not even know that there was a law called the Special Law of the Imperial Family.
It was a time when the Minister of Justice was clearly silent and confused.
“This guy keeps crawling away like a rat during work hours...!”
Fron exclaimed confidently before continuing to stutter.
It was as if she had a dual personality.
“In accordance with the Imperial Family’s authority to supervise Imperial Palace officials, I chose to conduct a limited, targeted investigation and trap with the permission of myself as an Imperial Knight, no, a member of the Imperial Family.
There shouldn’t be any problem with the law and procedures I mentioned earlier, right?”
Kiaros was truly amazed.
'What on earth is happening?'
One thing was certain.
This was related to Namiya Rawabi.
Fron could never have done it, but this strange civil servant certainly had a track record of telling the law.
asked the Minister of Justice, who was as surprised as Chiaros, like a fool.
"…What?"
“I am a knight of the Imperial Palace.
I have somehow become Empress, but I am still on the list.”
Everyone looked confused as they did not understand what Fron said earlier.
The Minister of Justice hesitated for a moment and muttered.
“Well, that… um, as a matter of law or procedure, um, doesn’t make sense, at that...”
According to Fron, her collection of illicit drugs was itself a besieged operation to monitor Osun's presence.
“That's ridiculous!”
Osun shouted.
“The Scroll Management Department is simultaneously subordinate to the Magic Tower.
Even if you, Empress, can summon and view all the official documents, you cannot view the attendance status of our department!”
Even if others didn't know, Kiaros knew.
Until now, Fron has probably never looked at any official document.
No, she must not have been aware that she had such power.
Meanwhile, Osun responded.
“But why would Her Majesty the Empress care about the presence of a mere civil servant like me?”
However, Fron remained standing until the end.
“This…”
Fron's gaze turned forward again.
Everyone might assume that Fron was looking at the audience.
But Kiaros narrowed his eyes and looked at Namiya.
Fron continued speaking again in a changed tone.
"All officials of the Imperial Palace can view the daily night duty reports, which are submitted every morning at 6 a.m.
I was able to confirm that the person who received the night shift allowance and the person who deceived, or rather, filed the report, were different each time.
According to the documents of the Financial Department, uh, the Ministry of Finance, which can be verified with the authority of the Empress, Osun Pilun receives overtime pay on the relevant dates for which Namya Rawabi reports."
The night shift is where civil servants take turns guarding the building.
People working the night shift will submit reports detailing what happened at night.
Of course, it was usually “nothing unusual.” So no one was interested in the short reports that came every morning.
Who will be interested in referring to the wildcard documents?
“Who cares about that!”
"I care?
Don't I have power?
I was bored so I noticed it?
It's up to me?
It's my time?"
Fron sneered again in a different tone.
Only then did he discover Kiaros.
Earlier, Fron's gaze was directed towards Namiya's mouth, or more accurately, the shape of Namiya's mouth.
Now it doesn't matter how things develop.
'No, is this possible?
At this distance?
Could she clearly see the shape of the moving mouth from this distance?
Even Kiaros, who had good eyesight, had no idea what Namia was saying.
"I followed that guy and found out he was roaming the dirty black market during business hours, so I ran this trap investigation.
No procedural errors, right?
Take this guy away and cut his head off."
Fron declared triumphantly.
"Of course I didn't use the poison I collected for anything.
If you want to investigate, go ahead."
The court was immersed in confusion.
Kiaros rubbed his forehead in embarrassment.
It was clear what were Vron's words and what were Namiya's words.
‘Just looking through books will not be enough to determine all the details very precisely.’
The clauses mentioned by Fron, or rather Namya, have been widely documented in legal books.
Knowing where to look was the first step to finding them.
'Yesterday, these two people did something during the short time they met in prison.'
One thing became clear.
Namia Rawabi didn’t just memorize “the items that make subordinates do the work.”
She knew all the conditions.
Her ability to pull it all together in such a short amount of time was amazing.
'One moment...'
Amid the commotion, the Minister of Justice spoke.
“We will take a short break and resume work at 2 p.m.”
Fron yawned and stood up, saying she was going to the bathroom.
Then Kiaros saw it.
There was a scroll sticking out slightly from Fron's pockets.
✧✧✧✧✧✧
'Done!'
She smiled and sighed in relief.
As a subordinate, I knew that Osun's presence was a mess.
It wasn't that hard to make up as if the Empress had discovered it herself.
'Of course everyone feels something strange, but they can't point it out because there's nothing wrong.'
If so, it is possible to buy some time.
Perhaps Kiaros was also thinking of using his power to kill time.
'If that's the case, the backlash will be severe.'
Didn't Fron consider pleading guilty because she didn't want to cause trouble?
Yesterday in prison, she persuaded the Empress: “You can avoid causing trouble for Kiaros.”
Then I handed her a piece of paper with lines of legal terms written on it.
Grabbing the thickly written paper, Fron muttered awkwardly.
[There's no way I can save all of this.
Even if I stayed up all night, it wouldn't work.
There are a lot of unfamiliar words.]
[Just try to memorize as much as you can for now… and then take this as well.]
Having already anticipated the situation, I also gave her a scroll.
I asked her to use it right before entering the courtroom.
[It's a scroll that allows you to see far away.
If you use this, you'll be able to see what my mouth looks like.
Then you can use it as a reference.]
No one can follow just by looking at the lip movements.
However, if I memorize somewhat, I should be able to use my lip movements as a reference.
[You will never be arrested.
I'm the only one in this world who knows that a scroll like this exists and how to make it.]
It was a scroll that I researched and made myself.
For my father, who always said he wanted to see the stars with me.
Comment and star encourage me?
