THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

chapter 164's

The Imperial Capital, the, 

Currently, there was a meeting going on between several ministers of all domains in the Justice Administration department in the Palace, It was specifically made for special cases where there was a dispute between many rulers. 

There are many people present here today, including Minister Justin Black Wolf’s Domain.

Jonas representing Duke Fjord presented his case to everyone present, “Honored Ministers and His Majesty Lionheart, I think you all know the various activities of Count John now. In the previous battle as well he had slaughtered 3000 + knights from our domain when in fact they had already surrendered. I hope there is a severe punishment against Count John. Sublime ethics demanded that soldiers who surrendered should be treated as prisoners of war and given a fair trial instead of slaughtering them completely. ” 

One of the judges from the Justice Department furrowed his eyebrows when he heard about his hypocrisy and asked Jonas, “Ya, this is war, what do you expect from Minister Jonas? You can't expect the drum to spin your way all the time. Please speak and present the case with discretion. “

They did not complain but they also targeted many ships belonging to others including the Radiant Church and the Norman Duke. “

The Judge furrowed his brows and asked, “Isn't the Radiant Church affiliated with you guys, so why is there a surprise?” 

Jonas was ready when he handed over some documents and spoke, “No, it's really a transactional relationship. We were only offered a loan for this war that we would pay them later. This is a covenant with Pope David. Who knew that the Count might target the Royal Family even if you decided to lend to us and they decided to target you for giving us a loan. ” 

King Lionheart smiled when he heard Jonas. He thought, ‘I guess I can start acting against that tally now that we have a legitimate reason. ‘

The judge looked towards the heart of the lion and then spoke to Jonas, “It seems your complaint makes sense. However, Duke Fjord did not claim the same thing about raiding ships in the eastern region.”

Jonas is a pretty good influencer and gives their justification, “I understand that Milord but talking and taking action are two different things. We have not taken any action that was proclaimed before. And if you notice the Duke was just angry.when he announced it in public, he retracted it after he thought calmly. We only target ships that belong to Domain Count John. Moreover, the Count had not sent even a single person to defend himself or present his case in court. Here today, isn't it clearly disrespecting the authority of the royal family and our rules? “

One of the baron gifts here today thought when he heard Joans, ‘Hmph, he said, You think the people don't know that you just took him to a different port and had the mercenaries take over the ship. I guess Count John was naive or intentionally doing this because he expected the Royal family to support him when he gave the balista. ‘

This time King Lionheart stopped the Magistrate and gave his judgement,

“You are absolutely right Minister Jonas, The fact that Count John did not send a man to the case today is very insulting to the Royal family and adds to the fact that he has hired a pirate who was sought by us for a very long time very long. Instead of handing it over to us when he caught it earlier, he decided to hire him in the fleet as an admiral who was very insulting to the royal family and all the other nobles who had previously been robbed by him. noble etiquette and honor. This not only brought shame to the nobles but also brought humiliation to the nobles for being associated with him because of his position. “

Many ministers saw King Lionheart's tone and understood what was about to happen. Meanwhile, Eanred had a premonition that this would be bad for them. However, it was too late when Lionheart proceeded to give a judgement without waiting for anyone.

Jonas smiled as he looked at King Lionheart's tone of voice and understood that he had decided to act against John, He spoke to Grim, “I think it's time. We got a lot of replies not like we expected before. From that appearance, King Lionheart would take action against him. I guess it's good that I gave him information about the Elf's trip to the Northern border domain earlier. In addition, he was also annoyed by people complaining about Royal cuisine as the number declined to share many things including recipes and cement for the construction industry. “

Grim smiled on his face after watching the court, “Ya, he said, The Royal Family had their own interests and motivations and it was good that we found out about Rose's Journey to the south as we spied the preparations for the final battle. I guess we gained a lot after our last operation. It's not entirely useless. ” 

For the first time, Defense Minister Plato saw that something was wrong when Prince John did not send his man, he thought, ‘The count is not that stupid, he said, even a fool knew of sending a man to represent him in this dispute between the two masters.it seems that he deliberately did this so that he could get sanctioned by the Royal Family. From the looks of it, it seemed like Eanred was right when he said that this count seemed dangerous, Why does my instinct say the same thing. From the looks of it, the count was really fearless of anything right now. ‘

The Lionheart King proclaimed with a powerful and incomparable aura that only leaked out authority, “domain Count John will be sanctioned with tariff increases for all luxury goods they export up to 20 percent in all domains controlled by the royal family directly until he hands over that pirate Blake and apologise to the royal family. However, I also hope that both sides exercise restraint and try to resolve their differences through dialogue. These tariffs may increase in the future if Count John remains defiant to protect the pirate ones. ”

Jonas disagreed or disagreed with King Lionheart when he spoke, “Yes, My Lord. We only hope that Count John hands over the culprit who killed Lord Evan as this will be the best measure to normalize the situation and bring peace in both domains.”

King Lionheart nodded as everyone ordered, “Oke, everyone is dismissed. Sanctions will be implemented from tomorrow. Is everyone clear?”

All Ministers replied as soon as they heard the King, “Ya, Tuanku”

Many people were shocked after hearing King Lionheart's decision and understood the many meanings behind this decision.

Baron spoke after hearing the conclusion of the dispute, “It seems that King Lionheart was upset at the fact that Prince John was interacting with the Elves and he had already started to gather a lot of food supplies for his territory. From this, it seemed like Count John did not trust the Royal Family and prepared for the worst. “

The Viscount of the capital spoke, “Yes, it seems that the Royal family is not too happy with Count John's actions. I think this is what is expected. I wonder what Count John will do now, even the royal family has abandoned them. I think he was a fool when he decided to hand over the blueprints of the balista to the Royal Family. “

Baron reprimanded and spoke, “Hmph ... What can he do? He only has power in the ocean. Now he would understand what it meant to oppose and earn too much. In addition, the Royal Family had an army that was 100 times larger than its troops. He would only give up in the end and share some of his technology with the royal family. This was exactly like the time when the Lorr family was targeted by the Royal family but at that time the Royal Family was quite cautious when they acted against the Lorr family. However, the Royal family was quite brave this time around. ”

Viscount sighed and agreed,” I guess it was because they had already gotten the Ballista they wanted. However, I hope this is not out of control and that counting gives the balista to the Dwarves or the Devils. “

Another Count came and spoke after hearing them, “He won't give it to them because the Dwarves are close enough to the Fjords and this will only backfire on him. As for demons, you cannot trust them. And do you think the royal family is not ready when they take action against them? Moreover, knowing the Count's personality, he was someone who was quite stubborn and would not give it to anyone easily.And he was not as strong as the Lorr where other powers would consider him equal. “

Viscount thought and spoke, “Yes, this is true as well. I wonder how long this will last. However, I have heard from the inner circle of ministers that King Lionheart has a grudge against that Count because of his relationship with the Prince. Lukavv or else the Judge would not be surprised after King Lionheart took action personally. I don't think he's going to give a harsh punishment to Count John. “

The prince nodded when he thought that there was something different when the judge looked at King Lionheart as there seemed to be no instructions, “Yes, this cannot be ignored when I heard the same thing. I guess he should blame his relationship with Prince Lukavv of King Lionheart's actions today. And today is the day the King decides to act against him. Moreover, the ministers were not surprised and were quite calm as they seemed to have plans against the Count. So it seemed like they had already made their plans against the Count. ”

Baron added,” I think the reason might be because they've Ballista's blueprints. I wonder how that arrogant count acts now that he is between a cliff and a well. ”

Everyone was breaking news everywhere.
