My Contract Husband is Going Crazy Because of My Iron Wall - Chapter 49.2
Chapter 49.2
“No!”
Gerard, you’re such a jerk. You’re not even anything to me. Are you jealous of him?
“I understand. Your Majesty, Emperor Gerard Do Zagzag.”
Calling the Emperor’s name was something that anyone could do, but Reinhardt wasn’t just anyone, he was the Emperor’s older brother.
The Emperor’s face turned bright red and his whole body trembled, whether because he didn’t like his name coming out of the mouth of a criminal or simply because his name was embarrassing. However, that didn’t last long.
As Roxanne patted his shoulder from the side, he soon caught his breath and resumed the trial.
“Anyway, the management of the barrier is your responsibility, Reinhardt Erestein. You’re greatly at fault for neglecting your duty to protect the north while delegating the management to your subordinates. Therefore, I sentence John Eclipse and Reinhardt Erestein to de…”
The Emperor suddenly fell backward as he was about to pronounce his sentence.
“What are you doing?! Stop them right now!!”
His eyes, filled with fear, contained the audience beyond the wall. The knights and the audience, who had rushed out at the Emperor’s command, looked around in bewilderment, wondering who they were supposed to stop.
Of course, there would be no danger anywhere.
Because no one would consider boiled eggs a danger.
“What are you doing?! Catch those vicious things right now!! Right now!!”
None of the knights present were aware of the Emperor’s trauma with eggs.
The knights who were present at the time of the incident either quit in frustration at the Emperor’s antics or were dismissed because they were not to the Emperor’s liking. The current knights had not worked with the Emperor for long, and the Emperor had silenced them with bribes.
“Let’s just catch him for now.”
The knights seemed intent on apprehending the audience, though they didn’t know why the Emperor was doing this.
As the knights surrounded the innocent audience members, the atmosphere in the courtroom instantly turned hostile, and then a flash went off somewhere.
It seemed that someone in the audience had brought a camera. Given that the camera was a very expensive item and that they had brought it here, it was highly likely that they were a reporter. There must have been a reporter among the audience.
‘It’s only a matter of time before the Emperor’s true nature is revealed to the entire Empire.’
I knew that even if I presented clear evidence, they would stubbornly deny it. I was lucky that I had prepared other measures.
Just as I was letting out a sigh of relief, Roxanne approached me with her characteristic clicking footsteps. Her gaze was fixed solely on me as if the Emperor’s commotion was of no concern to her.
“How did you do it?”
“Do what?”
“The imperial edict. It was written with ink that fades over time, so it shouldn’t have been visible. How did you recover it?”
Judging by her bluntness, it seemed that she had no intention of hiding the fact that the Emperor had deliberately tampered with the imperial edict.
‘…What is she thinking?’
I didn’t know whether Roxanne was a good or bad person or what her purpose was. It could be because I haven’t read the novel in a while or because the author always skipped ahead whenever Roxanne was mentioned in the novel.
The fact that I didn’t have much information meant that I was in the most danger. So, I had to be on my guard around her.
“So, the content suddenly disappeared because it was written with ink that fades over time. I didn’t know that. Thank you for letting me know, but how did Your Highness know about it?”
“Don’t ask me questions. Answer my question first. I asked you how you recovered the imperial edict.”
‘She’s not ordinary.’
Even though we were speaking in hushed tones, I felt like I was about to be overwhelmed by her aura. Cold sweat trickled down my spine.
“I am deeply sorry, though I’m unable to answer your question as I have been stripped of my right to speak by His Majesty the Emperor.”
“You were doing so well until now.”
Roxanne smiled coldly and continued.
“Since His Majesty the Emperor is acting so outrageously, the trial is over anyway. So just tell me. Or shall I order you as Empress? Answer my question truthfully.”
“Since Your Majesty the Emperor has declared the trial over, I shall step down now.”
Reinhardt jumped down from the defendant’s stand and blocked my way, and John quickly followed him down.
“Everyone, the trial is over! Escort Her Highness the Grand Duchess and His Highness the Grand Duke!”
At John’s command, the soldiers of Erestein, who had been hiding among the audience, jumped out.
