Heavenly Inquisition Sword

Episode 1233. Remember Iza Crow?

The results of Count Donal Vegan’s trial quickly spread throughout Ignas.

It is common knowledge that great nobles strengthen their bonds with each other by marriage.

Count Dounal Vegan was also a nobleman with a stronger foundation than anyone who had in-laws with the royal family of the Principality of Fatima and the family of the Supreme Court.

Truly one of the greatest nobles in Ignas, he fell asleep when he woke up without committing any rebellious act.

Twenty years of banishment from the principality was just like saying to go to another country and start anew.

In addition to that, the confiscation and compensation of the mana stone mine!

People’s attention naturally turned to the victim who made him that way.

Around that time, strange rumors flowed from the aristocratic community.

―The daughter of a mana stone appraiser at Coral Co., Ltd. is a joint apprentice of Grand Master Count Helio Lagoa and Archduke Kaiser Knauf.

―The Knights of the Grand Duke of Knauf came by airship to take her away, but at that time, the Blackjack Guild kidnapped her.

People were surprised to learn that there was another grand master in the empire and that the daughter of a mana stone connoisseur became a disciple of the grand masters.

The identity of the victim was spread through the police in the eastern residential district, but the authenticity was never confirmed.

It was because the knights of the Grand Duke of Knauf and the victim girl left Ignas as soon as the trial was over.

Horde Camps Countess.

Star Palace Aporis.

around noon.

Count Horde Camps visited the detached palace built with the greatest effort by his ancestors.

Even though it is his own palace, he is cautious because he has invited distinguished guests there.

Entering the palace, he hurriedly bowed his head as he met eyes with Count Elio Lagoa, who was just in the living room.

“Your Excellency Count Lagoa.”

“Ah, Chief Executive. Didn’t you go to the palace?”

“I thought I should inform His Excellency… so I came out for a while during lunch break.”

“What is it?”

“Do you remember Iza Crowe?”

“When you say Crow, it sounds like you’re talking about an old woman, right?”

“Yes, he was found dead this morning in his home, having taken a poison and committed suicide.”

“Dead?”

“That’s right.”

“Hmm…”

A quiet voice escaped from Elio’s mouth.

I didn’t mean to kill him, but I didn’t feel good about committing suicide.

“Families say they had a hard time learning the outcome of Earl Donal Began’s trial.”

“That’s great.”

Elio had nothing to say.

It’s true that she did something wrong, but that’s why she committed suicide.

“Because of that, Viscount Crow wants to see you.”

“Me?”

“I want a chance to apologize to my daughter for her wrongdoing.”

“That’s Okay. I’ll have lunch and leave.”

If Iriza Crow had died, there would be no reason to remain in Ignas anymore.

“Ah yes. Are you traveling south?”

“yes.”

“If that’s the case, at least have a meal together before you go…”

“Okay. I don’t want to bother you any more. Go back to the palace.”

“Ah yes.”

Count Horde Camps saw Count Elio Lagoa’s expression and did not recommend it any more.

After chatting for a while, Count Horde Camps said goodbye and left.

Elio, who had been sitting quietly, let out a long sigh.

Someone committing suicide because of you?

For the first time, guilt crept in.

I’ve had a lot of blood on my hands so far, but I’ve never felt guilty.

‘It’s not like I’m going to die…’

At worst – like her husband did – she would be nothing more than a slave.

But she chose death rather than slavery.

Although it is said to be suicide, it was he who drove her to death.

The weight of karma, other than that of retribution for evil or war, weighed on his chest.

Just in time, Fabian came out into the living room and spoke to me as if passing by.

“Why are you doing that?”

“Iza Crow committed suicide.”

“Yes? Is that the woman you were talking about?”

“uh.”

“Why did you die?”

To Fabian’s self-talk, Elio replied with a confused face.

“I don’t know why he died.”

“Is that why you didn’t look good?”

“You can’t feel good. It must have been because of me.”

“I was going to die anyway. If it wasn’t because Count Lagoa was generous, or if he was like other great nobles, he would have killed him on the spot.”

Hearing that, Elio’s mood didn’t improve.

Above all, it is because his values are different from those of the other world’s great aristocrats.

“Viscount Crow wants to meet me, so I’m leaving right after lunch. Say so when you meet Count Omar.”

“Why Viscount Crow?”

“I want to apologize for my daughter’s mistakes.”

Then Fabian frowned.

“Your daughter committed suicide and you want to apologize? Is it true that Iza Crow committed suicide?”

“They said he was found at his home with poison. It must have been suicide.”

“As Count Lagoa doesn’t know, there are many cruel people among the nobles of the empire.”

“What are you talking about?”

“There are many people who kill their own children. Most nobles use their offspring strategically. There are more nobles who marry the person their parents chose than those who marry out of love. After all, cheating has become a normal thing.”

“What does that matter?”

“It means that Viscount Crow could have killed it and plotted it as a suicide.”

“Oh no way.”

“The more Iza Crow gave birth to, the higher the chance of that happening. Iza Crow wasn’t a good woman, was she? It could be a child from the Viscount Crow.”

“No matter how much I would kill my daughter.”

“Would Viscount Crowe be able to sleep peacefully after seeing the outcome of Count Donal Began’s trial?”

“It’s not like that though.”

“I’m not saying that’s the case, I’m just saying it’s possible.”

Fabian wanted Count Helio Lagoa not to blame himself too much, so he wanted to kill him.

Most of the suicides in aristocratic families were murders, so it wasn’t nonsense at all.

As Count Elio Lagoa persuaded him, Fabian continued talking.

“Honor killings are common in aristocratic families.”

Elio, who had been listening silently, said with a bitter face.

“Even if Viscount Crow killed his daughter, it doesn’t change the fact that it was because of me.”

“Still, your heart will be lighter than now.”

“Is it really so?”

“Meet Viscount Crow. Count Lagoa has the magic of truth.”

“I did, but what if he committed suicide?”

“Isn’t it better to go down? Does confirming that he committed suicide make any difference?”

“admit.”

“yes?”

“You are right.”

“Then shall we ask Viscount Crow to come?”

“Okay, let’s go meet just that person. Tell the butler here that you’re going to meet him. Baron Crow wants to meet me, so I’ll come running right away.”

“yes.”

Elio asked Fabian, who was about to turn around.

“Do you really think Viscount Crow committed an honor killing?”

“Not everyone is as romantic as Count Lagoa thinks.”

“Is it romantic for parents to cherish their children?”

“It is romantic to ask such a question. Not everyone pursues ideals like the Count. Most live by calculation.”

“So do you?”

“If you’re bored, why do you ask me that when you call me a snob?”

“Oh right. you are a snob Go see.”

“yes.”

Fabian didn’t deny it, and immediately turned around and left.

He said he wanted to meet him, and at around 3:00 PM, Viscount Norton Crow came to visit with a present.

In the living room of Aporis Villa, Elio greeted Viscount Norton Crow.

Elio was told by the magistrate, but he stopped pretending and asked.

“Why did you come to see me?”

said Viscount Norton Crow, placing a wooden box on the table.

“A few days ago, my daughter came to me and confessed that she had made a big mistake. Then last night, my daughter committed suicide out of guilt. I came here with the intention that I should also wish you the wrong thing.”

“What is that?”

“As a token of apology, I prepared a small amount of money. Compared to the sins I have committed, the amount is far short, but it is all I have, so I would appreciate it if you would accept it.”

Suddenly, a bitter smile appeared on Elio’s face.

His own son committed suicide for wrongdoing to a great nobleman, and even though he couldn’t protest, he handed over money to ask for forgiveness.

Before he could say anything, Viscount Norton Crow continued.

“My daughter was a misbehaved child. When I was a girl, I slept with a lot of men. So, when a marriage proposal came from the baron family, I accepted without hesitation. After that, I was nervous, but in the end, I had a big accident like this. Lastly, he showed responsibility, but compared to the sins he had committed, it was not enough. Please forgive me for ‘Iriza’s sin’ with great generosity.”

He subtly emphasized ‘Iriza’s sin’.

It’s not a false statement, but it was a very cold voice in a situation where the daughter committed suicide.

“Viscount Crow.”

“yes.”

“Do you know who I am?”

“Yes, I heard that you received the title of count from His Majesty the Emperor and that you stand shoulder to shoulder with Grand Master Grand Duke Knauf, who is called the heir of swords…” “Are there rumors that I am a magician and that I am particularly good at using the magic of truth?

”

“I heard that.”

Viscount Norton Crow trembled at the word magic of truth.

“Other wizards do not use mind manipulation magic because of the danger of making the opponent an idiot. But my magic doesn’t have that risk. That’s why I’m usually a bit over-indulgent when I’m curious about something.”

“…”

“But I don’t want to use that on the viscount. So tell me the truth. Is it true that your daughter committed suicide?”

Upon meeting Count Elio Lagoa’s eyes, Viscount Norton Crowe lowered his head.

“…I put my hand on it. We thought it was best for His Excellency’s honor and for our Viscount Crow.”

He plainly revealed that it was his own doing.

Since honor killing is a family matter, the Empire did not punish it legally.

Since the in-laws had already been deprived of their title, there was no one to say anything more about honor killings.

Elio, who was staring at Viscount Norton Crow, said.

“Take the money. And don’t appear in front of me again. If you come into my sight after this time, I will surely kill you.”

“Yes yes. thank you.”

Viscount Norton Crow stood up from his seat and bowed.

Although he was warned, he was content that he was not punished.

It was because he could have held himself guilty, as Count Helio Lagoa had done to the Scottish Baron (in-law).

Soon after, Viscount Norton Crow, who had taken the box of money, left without looking back, fearing that he might catch it.

Fabian, who was watching from the side, said with a triumphant face.

“Am I right? I heard that my son committed suicide and he recognized me when he said he would come to apologize.”

“Yeah, you are good. let’s leave now What about Count Omar?”

“You are going out at the invitation of the courtier. He said he would be back soon.”

“Why is the court bag?”

“Why are you doing this to spread the news to Baylem’s estate? Since there is a court mage here, he came to ask for a favor.”

“aha.”

“Isn’t Count Lagoa managing the estate? It’s been a while since I got Latinus, but isn’t Slash Land in the north quite new?”

“Where’s the time to manage that?”

“But if left unattended, tax collectors will steal all the money.”

“okay? then you do Don’t say that you’re my vassal only with your mouth.”

“Me? I see!”

As Fabian sighed, Elio shook his head excitedly.

I left the job, but I don’t know why I like it so much.
