Chapter 789 These idiots…
Other than the problem with that one trial, the rest of the trials went as planned.
These were nobles of their kingdom, so it wasn't as if there was anything that they could hide.
The fourth prince found everything there was to find about these nobles in the first place, so it wasn't as if there was anywhere for them to run or anything for them to hide.
So there were no surprises that came during the trial like with the Snake Syndicate trial.
All of the nobles were sentenced properly.
They were stripped of their titles, had all of their property confiscated, and they were sentenced to death like the fourth prince had planned.
Without these nobles making a mess of the kingdom, it would be a much better and safer place.
That was what the fourth prince had planned since the beginning.
After all of these trials, there was only a single trial left.
It was the trial that had been left to the end since it was the most important trial.
It was the trial for Duke Yuletide and the Yuletide Family.
They were the ones that had caused this purge in the first place, so it could be said that everything that happened was their fault.
Of course, the fourth prince would have eventually done something similar later on in the game, but that was because of his own plot line. It was unrelated to the Yuletide Family which was another quest line.
When Duke Yuletide was brought out, he looked completely defeated.
He had already seen the trial for the Snake Syndicate and all of the people that had been dragged in from the Snake Syndicate. The fourth prince had made sure that this happened because he wanted Duke Yuletide to see this.
He wanted Duke Yuletide to see all of the people that had been brought in from the Snake Syndicate so he could crush his hopes.
That was why the duke looked completely defeated when he was brought in.
The trial went on like normal...that is until.
"Boom!"
There was a large explosion that came from the back of the square, on the opposite side of the square where the trial was being held.
This was the place where there were many citizens gathered since they were here to watch the trial.
As soon as this happened, the fourth prince sent his people to make sure that the citizens were alright.
However, before they could do anything, there were a bunch of people that ran through the crowd. These people all had weapons raised, which forced the citizens to move out of the way for them.
At the same time, all of them were wearing dark clothes and had masks on their faces even though it was the middle of the day. It seemed like they were trying to hide their identities, but really it made them stand out more.
It was basically them wearing the wrong outfits to hide themselves.
Like wearing camouflage in the middle of the city.
They all made a mad dash for Duke Yuletide who was being detained in the defendant's position.
Duke Yuletide had a surprised look on his face that made it seem like he didn't expect this at all and that was because…he really didn't expect this at all.
Duke Yuletide had no idea who these people were and why they wanted to rescue him, but he could tell that they didn't have any good intentions. There was a part of him that didn't want them to rescue him, but there was a part of him that wanted to see where this was going to go.
But it wasn't as if he could come forward to go with these people since there were guards around him that were restraining him.
So Duke Yuletide could only watch as everything unfolded.
And things…didn't go his way.
The fourth prince knitted his brows when these people appeared, but he didn't show a single trace of worry seeing them. Instead, he waited for a bit for them to approach and to see if there were any more of them.
When it was clear that this was all that was here, he gave a snap of his fingers.
The moment that the fourth prince snapped his fingers, there were several dark cloaked figures that appeared.
However, these dark cloaked figures were different from the ones that came to save Duke Yuletide. Unlike those people who ran through the crowd and caused a large commotion, they had appeared out of nowhere and suddenly rushed at those people causing a commotion.
With the speed that they went at, it took them no time at all to restrain the ones closest to Duke Yuletide.
The others saw this and revealed looks of fear.
But when they turned around to run, they found that they were completely surrounded by the fourth prince's people.
They tried to fight their way out, but there was a reason why these cloaked figures were the fourth prince's elite guards. They weren't able to do a single thing before they were incapacitated by the fourth prince's elite guards.
They were all disarmed and then brought away for the trial to continue.
Duke Yuletide had a disappointed look, but it didn't seem like he was affected that much.
After all, he had already come to terms with his situation and it wouldn't make him have second doubts now.
Once they were all taken care of, the fourth prince stood up and looked at me.
I gave a nod and went off with him, without caring about how the trial would end since we already both knew how this trial would end.
When we came to the room where the assailants were held, the elite guards suddenly pulled off the masks of these people.
The fourth prince was surprised because…he didn't recognize a single one of them.
He honestly had no idea who these people were until one of the elite guards gave him a piece of paper.
Reading it, the fourth prince knitted his brows before saying, "These idiots…"
