"Sir, it's time for us to seize the throne you should have" said the servant, saluting him
"I do not agree however the king has not died, but only poisoned and in crisis, the murderer has not yet been found out,"
"If we do it now there are only those of us who die killed by his heir" said one woman as she walked closer to the prime minister
"What Ernest said is true, we must not rush into taking this action, but I already have the desire to revolt at the election of the next king," the minister said with a triumphant look
'Ah.. The job of keeping an eye on nobles who want to rebel is always more fun than dealing with those cunning priests,' ernest said in his heart while grinning at the endless quarrels of the nobles
"How about we draw the hearts of the people first by spreading good things about you, Mr. prime minister?" ernest said with a smile
"Ernest, you are indeed a brilliant woman with the rumors then no one will be suspicious of the position that I will take from my own brother,"
"Ah...not the former king later," said the minister with a smile.
On the other side...
"Reina, tell me who's bothering you until you cry? and lips until they bleed" Dalbert said with an annoyed and angry look
"Sister, my eyes were just dusting so that's how I cried and at that time I also ate the cake where my lips were cut" Reina said stammeringly
"Oh, if someone else hurts you, just come and tell your brother" Dalbert said with a smile
"Yes, sister, then we go home, sister now" Reina said with a smile
"You are satisfied after speaking to him full of falsehood" Asmodeus said as he walked towards Albern
"I was just talking, I realized I had disappointed him but I was not willing to leave him either, every time I see him with another man I feel this heart pierced by something" Albern said with a bitter look and a hint of regret
"Nothing will change if I come to him again will only make him suffer more to me" he said, staring at Reina and Dalbert who had gone further and further
"Alright, alright, you should now continue the training because you are the student I am teaching now," Asmodeus said with a cold look
The next day a news suddenly shook the whole country even to the other side, the king had left the empire for ever. Some people grieved over the death of the king as some felt that this was their chance and at the same time an investigation into who poisoned the king had been found. A massive trial was held.
"Sister, will our family bear witness to the death of the king?" reina asked curiously
"Well, of course we have to testify,"
"Father and mother also have not returned from a trip to another country because they say the king there is considering the problems that occur with our cooperation plus information about the king has died already scattered they became hesitant to work together," Dalbert said with a resigned look
"I understand the situation, then when will we leave?" reina asked with a confident look
"Tok.. tok..
"Come in" said Dalbert without moving from his chair but instead took a cup of tea to drink
"Son, shouldn't we open the door for them to come in?" reina said with a surprised look at her brother's relaxed behavior and considered it like his own home
"Just let them in by themselves" Dalbert said with a look of indifference to the surroundings
"Sorry interjected, I came here to say that the hearing will start after lunch, so it is expected that Mr and Miss Halmiton will attend, then after the trial is over there will be a meeting to decide the interim government before the crown prince ascends the throne" said a messenger as he entered through the open door
"Ah, may I ask, whether the offender who poisoned the king has been arrested or is there anyone you have convinced that it was the culprit?" reina said with a curious look
"If you ask like that the answer is already but he does not admit his mistake and instead says that he was trapped,"
"Even if he's in a trap clearly has no evidence that he's really in the trap and doesn't handle it easily" said the messenger, shaking his head
"Of course, anyone would not want to die because of the mistake he has made, he knows that it is wrong and can kill him but he wants to avoid by accusing others is not it ridiculous?" dalbert continued with a cold look
"Just because of thirst for power to do this cruel thing but no wonder also if the king was killed by one of the representatives of his people because many of his people are in remote areas and villages not in the care of,"
"The noble let it go without doing anything as if, they do indeed deserve only his suffering, so that is the result of my analysis because I am not on any side," he said again while lifting his teacup with a cold glare so sharp
"My sister and I will attend the meeting so thank you for the notice" Dalbert said with a faint smile
"I also thank you for teaching you about your view on the death of the king,"
"Then now I retreat first" said the messenger and then walked out of the room
"Sister, why did you say such a bad thing about a dead man?" reina said with a sharp look
"Reina, the political world is not what you think it is, here our family is on the neutral side so if you want to talk about the issue of death you have to give your opinion on both sides between the killer and the victim, too,"
"There is nothing good or bad about Reina here, and what you're talking about will be the judgment of the judges to decide" Dalbert said with a smile and sipped his tea
"So that's why you don't want to join politics, because the world of politics is not only about the formulation of problems but is related to the thirst of people to control everything that their people have,"
"You give me the spirit of my brother already very happy," Dalbert said with a serious look and a gentle smile
"Then now we have to attend the hearing, it's about to start" he said, staring at his pocket watch and moving out of his chair
What kind of trial will take place? who poisoned the king? What will happen next?
