Chapter 212
The charges against First Prince Mariv Verocion are as follows: Centered on treason and the attempted assassination of His Majesty the Emperor, they include rebellion, usurpation and loss of the imperial seal, assault on a member of the imperial family, violation of mana sealing stone management regulations, special property damage…”
The list of crimes recited by the chief judge seemed endless.
Even matters that would normally have been pardoned due to his status as a prince were now being applied in detail. It was also the will of the Judicial Department to make him bear all his sins as he falls into the abyss anyway.
The paper was turned over halfway through, but the names of the crimes continued to ring out clearly in the courtroom.
“In total, there were thirty-two charges.”

“Mariv Verocion, do you acknowledge these charges?”
“Some I acknowledge, some I don’t.”
“…Let’s proceed one by one then.”
