Chapter 139: Kill First, Find Evidence Later—Let’s See If the Empire Dares Cross the Holy See!
👹
Anyone who truly believed the Imperial Royal Family was oblivious to Duke Ous’s depravity was either willfully blind or hopelessly naive.
When the Holy See was trampled, when the Pope herself was pressured—there was no response from the Empire.
When the rear lines descended into chaos and vital supplies were cut off, even as the frontlines roared with battle—they didn’t lift a finger.
But now, the moment I lead a squad of clergy right to Duke Ous’s doorstep—intent on smashing my way not only through his gate but straight through the duke himself—suddenly, the Empire leaps into action. As if struck by lightning, they snatch him up and rush to hand him over.
And their excuse?
Obvious: they realized they’d finally gone too far. They heard about the Holy See’s fury, and panic set in.
What next? Toss Duke Ous into a Tribunal cell for a few days, buy time for tempers to cool, then quietly spring him back out—back to their old tricks, as if nothing ever happened.
