ARCHDEUS

LESE NOBLESSE(1)

The Warren and Burren case this time has entered the realm of the State General Court. It is the highest court institution that deals with matters concerning cases experienced by commoners in the kingdom.

In front of the media, their jurists said they wanted to seek justice for the oppressed before this unjust law.

But of course, with so many cases in the kingdom currently happening, what Warren and Burren are now experiencing is not in the hottest news in the country. All the news broadcast about the impeachment of the prime minister and the election of Norchaster as the new prime minister.

The two brothers have lost a lot of assets. Especially since their company has been officially issued by the court. They are currently in the custody of the Low General Court in the Fertiphile Region.

If previously they often stayed in luxury lodgings frequented by nobles, now they have to languish in detention filled with dirty and rude people. Not to mention the food that looks disgusting.

Speaking of adventurers, Burren had realized that they had been abandoned by the Fertiphile branch Adventurer Guild. It seemed like the Guild and the Fertiphile House had been lobbying mutually agreed upon by both sides.

The casation process reviewed by the General Court of the State does seem slow even as if it is intentional to be slowed down. Especially when this had an interest with a grand noble.

Even if all the member judges in the public courts of the country are honest and fair, that does not mean they can try fairly, appropriately, and correctly. Although hierarchically the position between the General Court of State and the Court of Nobility is equivalent, in fact the Court of Nobility has the power to overturn the decision of the General Court of State if it is related to the interests of the nobility.

Right now both Warren and Burren no longer think about their case trips. Perhaps they had also realized that this was an impossible battle to win.

The two men are now just sitting behind bars as if they are ready to wait for the execution time from the court.

One day Warren and Burren are taken to see their lawyer.

The lawyer who had been waiting in the meeting room only lowered his gaze with a dull face.

As the two brothers sat down, he politely greeted the two and immediately informed them of their case progress.

"Mr Burren and Mr. Warren, your appeal for cassation was rejected by the General Court of the State on grounds of contravention of the law."

"...."

The two brothers remained silent. But their eyes still looked at the lawyer blankly.

"I also know this is very disappointing but we can-"

Before the lawyer finished speaking, Warren hit the table tight.

"Mahaha ...."

Suddenly he laughed freely as if everything that did not happen was not something bad.

"Until when ... until when do you have to tell me to calm down!? You always say that! Relax, we can do it. Don't worry, we're gonna win. Now you're saying I should calm down too?! Why do I trust your words?!"

Warren suddenly grabbed her lawyer by the collar.

In a panic the lawyer stood up and tried to untie the man's grip.

"Please!"

The lawyer panicked. But Burren who was still sitting was silent as if he did not care.

Instead, Warren still eagerly clutched his lawyer's collar.

Hearing the screaming sounds from inside the room, the guards immediately entered and separated them.

Warren and Burren are forcibly dragged back to their bars. While the lawyer stared at the two in horror as if he had just been attacked by a madman.

As time went on, both of them became increasingly unstable. But even so, they cannot escape the execution that has been set. In the end, the two would die by being publicly hanged in the square of Fertiphile City for a sin of insulting a noble.

Fertihall, Capital of the County of Fertiphile.

Right now the Fertiphile is going to make a big celebration. It was an aristocratic party to appreciate Alex's achievements that have now earned the title as a baron. Although the event had been postponed earlier for reasons of the economic crisis that occurred, but in the end because Harol had returned to his area and he also felt very proud of Alex's achievements, he said, he decided to keep the event before winter regardless of the current state of his county.

He invited all the nobles who came from his alliance. They were all local noble machetes with the titles of viscount and baron.

All of them were Viscount of Levensille, Viscount of Catenburg, Viscount of Alchera, Viscount of Chanstel, Viscount of Rayself, Baron of Garnitia, Baron of Tivrial, Baron of Lanyard, Baron of Estrianople, and others, Baron of Faihacea, Baron of Milchera, Baron of Adenburg, Baron of Sorchield, Baron of Charwings, Baron of Lessiurg, and Baron of Gargerint.

In addition, Harol also invited all the great nobles who were in the Sandwealth and Norchaster coalition. This is probably a big meeting event because for the first time these two coalitions could meet at an event like this.

Alex can't do much.

He actually did not want the event for his title warning as a baron to be this lively. Moreover, he had traveled many times outside his area. If it continues like this the budget can swell.

Moreover, I still do not have a fixed income, thought Alex.

Today Alex's wealth comes primarily from the prize fief war given by Otilia and Yorksall. He could not expect the dividends from Skavian to cover all his expenses.

Sooner or later Alex has to have a steady source of income.

That is why he hopes his financial company can grow and develop.

But what he can do. This is an event that her parents made for her. It would be a shame for Alex not to come.

It seems like I still can't get away from Fertiphile, Alex thought.

Whether it was dependence on imports of agricultural goods or family ties that were still quite strong, although Alex was the head of the Alexandreia family, he was still a member of the Fertiphile Dynasty. Unless Harol abdicates and the title of count is given to both Jared and Hazel, Alex can be completely free of the Fertiphile family.

Alex got back in the car.

Alex's horse-drawn carriage went with only two other carriages. One train was filled by at least five soldiers while the other train was filled by the service.

This is a very vulnerable number but now Alex believes in his abilities now at least if it should exclude the possibility that he will face a warrior as strong as Harol or be attacked by a witch who is able to master a level 6 spell and above,

Throughout his eyes, Alex saw many of the residents' homes being renovated. This renovation is one of Alex's policies to prepare its citizens for winter. This policy is prioritized to residents who have homes that are not habitable.

Along the way all the citizens gave Alex cheers and compliments. Although Alex was in the horse-drawn carriage, he could still hear cheers from everyone regardless of age or gender.

"Long Live the Baron!"

That was the cheering that had continued to echo in the Baron of Alexandreia over the past few times. The cheers continued to be echoed until Alex's horse carriage was no longer visible from people's sight. Who would have thought, people who used to live with fear and resignation now live in happiness and enthusiasm.
