Senate-3

The elder chairman was nothing more than a collection of achromatic colors. The fortress was a dull wall made of gray bricks, and the surrounding area was covered with white snow, so it was even a little scary.

Besides, now that night time has fallen on the sky, an even more creepy atmosphere has been formed.

And above all…

“Lion…actually…meaningful…wolf…in faction culture…even the white tiger we believed in…hahahaha…”

I couldn’t find a more eerie scene than this, with a woman muttering from the side with a gray face.

[Then why are you making such a fuss?]

<Did you do that because you liked me?

After all, the fault lies with Chris-sama, who fell into a fairy tale fantasy until he got older. Can’t you tell just by looking at the fact that he opened the door right now because his mind was half-collapsed at just that one word?

[But is that just such a shock?]

In hindsight, Leo only explained natural facts through science.

<…if you know, I can comfort you.>

[Cute guy.]

Despite the sale, Leonardo didn’t even wiggle an eyebrow. Doing that in the first place will help Chris-sama’s face in many ways.

“It’s here…”

Chris, now completely white, led himself to the grand gate. In the center of the gate, the holy sword symbolizing Reinhardt and the lion’s pattern were clearly drawn.

<…It’s been a while.>

As I stood in front of that door, I was reminded of the feelings of the past. In the past, it took several years to stand at this gate, but now it takes only two years and a few months to enter.

“It’s nice to see a glorified expression, but it’s better not to be so reassured.”

Seeing his expression wet with emotion, Chris gave advice with a face that turned red.

“The people here are the people who have pegged into the deepest part of Reinhardt.”

He was the person who realized it most deeply.

“All right. Be mindful.”

“Then go in.”

Chris pushed the door open with both hands. When it was opened, what was revealed was a huge round table made of marble.

At the center of the round table, the great men of old were seated one after another. All were warriors and knights who shared the glory of Reinhardt.

And there was Noikjang, who sat on the biggest and most prominent chair.

“I see you, Senator Zeiron Reinhardt.”

He bowed his head and knees toward Reinhardt’s biggest pillar, Zeiron. Everyone showed a slightly unexpected look at the greetings that fit the traditional etiquette.

“…do you know me?”

Even with wrinkled lips, Zeyron was able to speak heavy words. The weight of the Reinhardt he had was sensibly guessed.

“I know the dignity of Jeron Reinhardt and the high honor that goes with it. However, the history and feats of Wonju-nim cannot be comprehended from my inexperienced experience.”

The noble, yet flattering remarks, and the low attitude of the senate, were conservative in their minds and count Leonardo’s vessels at least.

On the other hand, those who had known Leonardo looked at him with slightly disappointed eyes. In the end, it seemed that Leo was no different.

“Raise your head.”

At that, Leonardo raised his head. The staring gazes were not simply unfavorable, but rather intentionally threatening with mana.

[My age is not even half of my age, what did the things that did not do well?]

In fact, I was used to that kind of gaze, and I got used to dealing with the old people, even if I didn’t want to, thanks to the ghost next to me.

“I will start the hearing from now on. When you ask a question, be sure to answer it immediately.”

Hearings that start as soon as they arrive, I didn’t mean to give them time, but rather to suffocate their breath.

They didn’t even say they understood, but they started asking questions at will.

“Let me answer the question about the legacy of the sage first.”

The beginning of the hearing always touches what appears to be the subject’s ball. Of course, the subject being questioned will not have anything to say about it, so unconsciously, he will be able to afford it.

“First of all, I would like to ask if there was an immediate report of such a critical matter. Why?”

The savages of the Senate have always been good at finding and digging into such intentions. In that way, it was a strategy that removed the legitimacy of the target and reduced the value of the achievement by slowly digging into the ball through queries in that way, a boring but surprisingly effective method.

“I thought it would be dangerous to report.”

However, the melee of these questions was also Leo’s specialty.

“The first ‘Pyeongbok and the Ring of Peace’ is a kind of binding magic tool, and once it is put on, it cannot be removed.”

Assuming the facts,

“If we had to report in such a situation, some wizards would have tried to take the ring by all means.”

An additional reason and justification are wrapped behind it.

“Then we could not guarantee the safety of our fellow mages who wore the ring. It was my decision to reduce damage by following Reinhardt’s chivalry.”

If there is no sin itself in the fact that is the premise, the significance of the existence of reasons and justifications becomes more valuable and trustworthy.

“Are you talking as if there is no way to report without getting caught?”

“If I have officially posted proposals and plans to find the sage’s legacy, the censure is understandable.”

And all the facts were mostly going in Leonardo’s favor.

“But to the end, I was just using my personal vacation to get a license for the tower.”

Because from the beginning, there were only things that were insufficient to say it was wrong.

“There must be vacationers who have lost the permission of Alfred and the headmaster, so please check if trust is difficult.”

Leonardo, who kept the procedure, had nothing to lose.

“…Then, why did you leave the legacy of the sage acquired later in the tower and display it at will? Isn’t it judged to be dogmatic?”

In normal circumstances, it would be sufficient to say that ‘because it is yours’.

However, it will not be difficult to dismiss the relationship between the Senate and the Senate now, even if they claim ownership.

“Because if they had brought it, there would have been a situation where there would be qualifications, no justification, value, but no profit.”

So they had to make the most important part as a shield.

“The legacy of the wise man is the wisdom of the wise man left for the wizards who work in the tower. If I were to take it just because I passed the test, I would become an open enemy of all wizards in the tower, including the tower.”

The source that makes them think that the authority and the chosen people are the things that the elders who are full of authoritarianism and the chosen people value the most.

“And this could lead to the loss of Reinhardt’s reputation. It was impossible to paint Reinhardt’s honor for my rights.”

It was enough to use the Reinhardt family itself as a shield.

“Isn’t it something we could at least discuss and decide? It seems to me that it is only an excuse to get the profit that comes from it.”

It was quite sharp, but that was the limit of those old people.

“It’s certainly not wrong, but I have the right to do so. I did not come to seek the legacy of the wise man at Reinhardt’s orders, but to find it by spending a personal vacation.”

Emphasize the part that they also agreed with earlier by using it again.

“If my actions lead to denunciation and contempt for the Reinhardt family, it will not be too late to take the punishment at that time.”

This would be virtually impossible. On the contrary, some people in the world now exalt this behavior, and Reinhardt’s knights have also come to appreciate it highly.

“…Then how do you explain the next agenda?”

These words sound like a threat, but in fact, it was nothing more than a declaration of defeat in the first question-and-answer session. Because that meant that there was absolutely nothing to question.

“How would you describe the response in the terrorist situation that occurred in the tower?”

“Excuse me, but the direction of the question is not correct. You told me what to explain, so why not let me know how?”

It was a polite tone of voice and a question, but those old squirrels would have noticed the hidden intentions here.

‘It’s impossible to punish me only when I come out like that.’

It meant that it was impossible to punish or reprimand me with the shallow tactics that old people adhere to, and that it was a provocation.

“Okay… Then you left Ariaspil Reinhardt alone, didn’t you? Did you forget your position while on vacation?”

“Your speech is sharp and frivolous. Keep your torso.”

Surprisingly, it was Marken who strengthened him. I don’t know if it was because of some hateful feelings, or if it meant that the boy wanted to beat him up himself, so I’m not sure, but for now, it was something to be thankful for.

“I was absent because I thought that Ariaspil-sama would be safer on the side of the tower. In fact, the inside of the tower is equipped with the latest and best security facilities.”

“Did you not understand the gist of the question? Even in such a place, I am reprimanding you for leaving your seat. Why was it empty?”

[I don’t think you understand the meaning of the answer?]

It was an exquisite summary, but it was necessary to thicken the useless packaging of ‘formality and elegance’. If it was a subordinate, they were the ones who caught the pods even in every word they spoke.

“To be precise, if I had gone to the site I was going to, Ariaspil would have been more dangerous.”

“Why? I know that in some cases he can also be subject to punishment…”

Now there was a limit to patience.

“Main Jehad Dynons threatened civilians and called me.”

Silence passed. Rather than feeling chill in the silence, Leo was excited. He must have reported it and sent it to the report, but he didn’t look at it properly.

“Jehard threatened civilians with a personal grudge and called me. I didn’t know at the time that we were working with a clay company.”

Thus, the vacancy in the terrorist situation itself was explained.

“So we just prioritized the suppression of Jehad and the safety of civilians. I also decided that it was also related to Ariaspil-sama’s safety.”

In fact, if it wasn’t for the clay sander, Jehad could easily subdue it.

“Oh my gosh. Did you think it would be possible to deal with Mine alone?”

“Hey, that’s crazy.”

This time, Chris also opened his mouth.

“Is it really meaningful to say that to someone you actually faced and won?”

“You are saying that your judgment is arrogant. What would you do if you lost? What if the damage spreads as a result?”

Chris lost even more ridiculously at the useless pod.

In such a situation, even if he wanted to call the guard, he could not do it, and Leo, as soon as he caught Jehad, greatly assisted in the subjugation of clay and monsters.

If he was to be reprimanded, it should have been done to the Executive Knights, who had not investigated Jehard, and to the Elder Council, which stopped the investigation.

If Leonardo had come from a noble family, it was not a punishment, but rather a reward.

“And I don’t understand taking the Reinhardt girl on a personal vacation. Considering what happened in the tower, shouldn’t this be punished?”

[Because the bullshit is verbose, it sounds like bullshit.]

It was as the sage had said. It is often accompanied by the owner and escort knights even during vacations, and in the first place, Leo was taken to a famous magical city center, not the mana tower during ‘during terrorism’.

“And the battle with the clay company was only a problem that was solved because Rios was lucky enough to come, so what would you do if he didn’t come? That young and arrogant spirit deserves to be reflected!”

“…Is that so?”

Hearing the sophistry covered in double standards and arrogant hypocrisy, Leo opened his mouth.

At first it was not expected that they would be persuaded by words. Relationally, he was B and the elders were G.

In a relationship, he was absolutely at a disadvantage.

“Then how should I be punished?”

So what should I do?

“The arrogant thing…! Are you asking yourself that?! First, go back to the mansion and let him sleep! Through consultation with the elders…!”

“no. That is not right.”

Simple.

“By what qualifications, right and wrong…!”

“My mistake was so lowly and negligent that it was a shame that the Supreme Council would punish it. I also realized that I could not keep up with Reinhardt’s holy beliefs with my own brilliance.”

All the elders were silent. It sounded like he was reflecting, but it was because something seemed to be out of focus.

“So let me punish myself.”

“What…”

“I will return Reinhardt’s knighthood. I think it was too heavy a seat for me.”

It is enough to eliminate the relationship itself.

So, which one is the loss?
