I was excommunicated from the Holy Knights

20 – 10 merchants from Bennett

In an instant, Anton is accused of an unthinkable suicide.

At the same time, the atmosphere in the courtroom, which was focused on punishing Shylock somehow, began to be filled with contempt for Anton, who was about to commit the terrible sin of suicide.

‘I don’t like that Shylock guy, but no matter how much he committed suicide… As a believer, it’s completely unimaginable.’

‘Are you willing to throw away the precious life that God gave you for money? Anyway, this is over the line…’

‘In the end, I insisted on a phrase and it turned out like this. You pathetic guys, if you’re going to make a plan, you should have made it more thoroughly.’

Even though there were still no people who openly insisted on Shylock’s innocence.

However, at the same time, not a single person who sympathized with Anton was left.

It was Anton who, in fact, was in a situation where he was practically blown away by his mistakes in the courtroom.

I was reluctant to sympathize with such a person, and furthermore, if I was wrongly swept away by the atmosphere, I might be harmed myself.

Just like that, the observers stare at Anton with cold eyes, and Anton and the potion begin to recognize the fact.

They, who had proudly insisted on Shylock’s punishment just a moment ago, were trembling in fear at the completely changed atmosphere in the courtroom.

If he stays like this, Anton is really at risk of being accused of committing suicide and thrown into a boiling cauldron.

Seized by the intense terror, Anton hurriedly tried to run forward.

“Hey… wait a minute, Anton!”

“Let go of this! I… I can’t die like this!”

“Ah… no! No matter what, if you do that, our plan…”

“I don’t need any plans or anything anymore! Until then, die for a few pennies? You can never do that!”

Anton ran to the center of the courtroom, shaking off the potion’s hand that was drying him.

He then knelt down towards the judge and Cazeros standing next to him and spoke in an earnest voice.

“Ps.. I will confess! I… I actually knew about that phrase! That the expression of giving one’s heart is an idiomatic expression used among the Jews!”

Anton rephrases the fact he had been desperately denying just now, flipping his palm.

In order to somehow avoid the ‘attempted suicide’ of the boiling cauldron, he eventually had to spit out the truth with a half-panic.

and..

Seeing him like this, Cazeros said in a cold voice filled with the chill of a blade.

“That means. So far, everything Anton has said in court has been a lie. Is that so?”

“That… yes! That..that..so..sa.. actually, I didn’t have the money to pay Mr. Shylock back because my business was messed up, so I did this…”

“..To say lies again even in this situation. I’m sorry, but the collateral you put in the deal isn’t enough to pay off? If that’s not the case, you can’t believe that you even forged official documents…”

“! Ah..no.. that.. that.. not like that..”

In the meantime, Anton tried to reduce his mistakes by any means, but his hastily made excuses were not eaten by Cazeros.

“Your Honor, it seems that Anton’s testimony is not credible for the court to choose. To that extent, it seems reasonable to punish the person for the crime of attempting suicide according to the principle.”

“Ummm..”

When the statement is overturned, even the overturned statement is under suspicion.

As a result, the judge began to show signs of serious consideration.

At the same time, Anton’s face began to become more and more contemplative.

A situation where you can really be thrown into a boiling cauldron if you go on like this.

That is why, now that the credibility of the statement is being questioned, there was no more excuse.

‘Ah.. no.. like this.. I can’t die alone like this.. that.. then..’

Anton, who lost his mind halfway in such ignorant fear…

That’s how he eventually… started to tell the truth while chewing the gaze of the potion behind him.

“Sin… I’m sorry! 4. Actually, all of this was to frame Mr. Shylock! I… That woman gave me a lot of money and instructed me to make up this matter… I… I just did as she was told!”

Anton pointed to the potion swordsman standing behind him.

In shock that his life looked like a dummy, he began to hang on his back, holding on to his back, thinking that he had to survive somehow.

“What is that again? What is this potion swordsman talking about?”

The words of the judge who speaks with a surprised expression at the unexpected story. In response, Potion’s face was perplexed and he said in a trembling voice.

“Ah… no! I… How did I do that… Anton is just talking nonsense in a state of fear and confusion! I have nothing to do with this…”

In the meantime, a potion that brings up a story while trying to cover Anton a little.

However, at this moment, her behavior was accepted as an attempt to cut her tail from Anton’s point of view, who was in a panic.

As an act of betrayal to abandon oneself and live alone.

As a result. In order for Anton to survive, or in order not to perish alone even if he perishes, Anton took out the one he had always been carrying in case of an emergency.

“Do not lie! W.. I came here with proof like this! You signed me for a big buck! If you help me take down Shylock, I’ll let you take over the business of Benessa!”

“! What… what…!?”

With that, Anton took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Seeing a completely unexpected object come out of this place, Potion’s face began to feel astonished and betrayed.

“you… You bastard… you can’t believe it from the beginning…”

“My… did you think I would be so easygoing? That… But I’m the guy I’ve been carrying around just in case, so I can’t help it if you’re going to abandon me like this! I can’t die alone! Even if I die, I will go with you!”

With that said, Anton handed it to the judge. Then the judge’s face began to harden with surprise.

Although, he was usually unmotivated and indifferent to work.

However, in the contract in question right in front of his eyes at this moment.

From nob le mt l. com

No matter how lethargic he is, there is something he can’t just go through.

As a citizen of the proud Republic of Bennett, it contained content that could not but be automatically astonished and angered.

A contract with a request for cooperation so that the Holy Empire can seize the commercial rights of Bennett and the corresponding compensation.

Inside it is clearly Anton’s seal.

And the seal of Potion, a swordsman and bishop from the Holy Empire, was stamped in front of him.

“… No matter how much I think about it, this is not a matter that can be decided here.”

“I think so too, Your Honor.”

Until just now, this trial had been a venue for arguing right and wrong among the citizens of Bennett.

However, the contents contained in this document were a different matter from that.

Clear evidence that an attempt was made to invade Bennett’s commercial rights in another country.

As this is an issue that can lead to disputes between countries, the presiding judge recognized that this fact should be dealt with in the Republic Assembly, not in the court.

and prior to this.

The presiding judge decided to end this trial, which seemed meaningless even to argue any further, in the face of such a tremendous event that could be accepted as an invasion attempt by another country.

“It is recognized that the defendant, Shylock, was unfairly framed for being caught up in the conspiracy of the Holy Empire to seize the interests of the Republic of Benessa. acquit him.”

A hammer struck with those words.

Regarding this, there was no voice of opposition in the courtroom. Even so, there was no response of cheers or relief.

Just, the same indifference and a bit of bitterness as ever.

For those who claim to be members of the church, the acquittal of Shylock, a Jew, meant only that much.

At this moment, people’s attention was only on the two people, Anton and Potion, who were involved in the affairs between the Holy Empire of Benessa.

In this atmosphere, the observers escape outside, and Anton and Potion, who are dragged to prison while swearing at each other while being tied up.

Leaving behind the indifferent public and the two conspirators who ended in a splendid self-destruction

The butlers who show deep relief and joy in front of Shylock’s eyes.

And the two people who saved me from this crisis. Looking at Cazeros and Santana, I bowed my head deeply.
