Heavenly Inquisition Sword - Chapter 1053
Episode 1053. Don’t say you didn’t know.
Hirhera Putocoa Count’s camp.
Griffin Knights barracks.
Baron John Mitch, a Knight of the Griffin Knights, looked at the Knight Commander, Viscount Colacio Keeper, with an absurd face.
“What did you say just now? To write a confession that the assassination request was my own decision?”
“You knew this could happen if you failed.”
“…”
Baron John Mitch gritted his teeth.
I was a little embarrassed when the guarantee was not written to the end.
However, since the opponent was the captain of the knights, he couldn’t be stubborn all the time, so he trusted him.
But I never thought the price of faith would come back like this.
I regretted asking for a guarantee until the end, but it was already spilled water.
“I didn’t know. Where in the world is this the case? I just moved as directed by the captain.”
“Isn’t there often a case where Gyeonggi passed on his faults to someone below him? After all, that’s how life is. don’t say it twice bitterly.”
“What if I can’t use it?”
“You will be summarily disposed of for conspiring with a warlock and your title will be retrieved. The family of the innocent sir will be sold into slavery without knowing anything.”
Baron John Mitch looked up at the knight commander with bewildered eyes.
He is a person whose cold expression will remain.
Hey, he’s the one who even commissioned the assassination, so what can he do?
Just looking at how he killed a tribe of barbarians at the direction of the Count, you can tell what his disposition was like.
Trembling with a sense of betrayal, Baron John Mitch finally picked up a pen.
It didn’t take long to write the confession.
After Baron John Mitch finished his signature, the knight commander took the paper and read it.
“Good job. And I’m sorry. Everyone think it’s for the sake of the Griffin Knights and Putokoa.”
“…”
Baron John Mitch said nothing.
It’s time for him to think about what punishment will be given to him.
Naturally, the knight commander, who had returned behind Baron John Mitch, attacked him like a thunderbolt and covered his mouth.
“town!”
Baron John Mitch opened his eyes at the burning sensation in his chest.
The mana hole along with the heart was destroyed.
The knight commander, who was covering the trembling Baron John Mitch’s mouth from behind, spoke in a whisper.
“Don’t say you didn’t know. If it were me, I would have done this.”
When the last spasm subsided, Viscount Colasio Kiefer removed his hand from Baron John Mitch.
As long as there was no way to fool the 4th circle magic ‘Eye of Truth’, making a confession into a will was the surest clean-up.

That afternoon.
Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Central Command and Control Barracks.
Duke Escatos put the paper he was holding down on the table with a shocked expression.
“So the assassination request was the sole act of Baron John Mitch, and the detained Baron John Mitch committed suicide?”
On the day Elio was awarded the title, Tobias Putocoa, who was officially appointed Count, responded.
“That’s right.”
“It’s a method often used in aristocratic families. Do you think Baron Elio Lagoa will believe this?”
“Whether Baron Lagoa believes it or not, it is true.”
Duke Escatos stared at the young count with deep eyes.
I don’t know what this young guy who is incredibly cunning for his age wants.
“I have no interest in the intentions of you, Baron Elio Lagoa.”
“Can I be honest with you?”
“Try it.”
“I am not interested in the idea of a barbarian who betrayed his lord for success.”
“Tsk tsk! Baron Elio Lagoa is not your vassal.”
“With all due respect, he was a soldier in Putocoa until Marquis Bernardo took him.”
“Shouldn’t you have been nice to me when I was there? No matter how much they discriminate against savages, soldiers were too much for a sword expert.”
“It was just the decision of the predecessor. But seeing this betrayal, I know it was the right decision. To be honest, I don’t know why Marquis Bernardo favors a knight who can turn the tip of his sword against his lord.”
Count Tobias Putocoa looked at Duke Escatos with resentful eyes.
Duke Escatos shook his head.
“Didn’t they say that opportunities come from crises and heroes come from troubled times? Baron Helio Lagoa is a hero born of a crack in the ice wall. Did you know that the founder of the Escatos family was a royal family? The founder of Putokoa was not an earl either. Just because you were born as a savage, there is no law saying you should die as a savage.”
“To Count Putocoa, Elio is just a savage who betrayed his master.”
“I know the meaning of sir. I don’t see any room for compromise here. If you are not interested in persuading Baron Elio Lagoa, who is the will for?”
“It’s for the truth itself.”
“I wonder what went through Sir’s head. Okay, so stop going. I will no longer be involved in the dispute between Sir and Baron Elio Lagoa.”
“…”
asked the hesitant Count Tobias Putocoa.
“I heard that Count Codrantes is coming to Hirhera. Is it true?”
“It is true. It will come either today or tomorrow.”
“All right.”
Count Tobias Putocoa showed no respect and turned away.
Soon, as he walked to the doorway, he heard the words of Duke Escatos in his ears.
“I and His Highness the King hope that there will be no more divisions in our Escatos kingdom army. I intend to reveal that meaning to Count Codrantes as well.”
Count Tobias Putocoa, hesitant, left without a word.
Duke Escatos muttered with a confused face.
“Would you like to hold hands with Count Codrantes? I’m not Count Corrantes who would move on that will…”
Suddenly, Duke Escatos turned his gaze to the huge map showing the cracks in Hirhera.
The width of the crack, which was initially 2 meters, had expanded to 4 meters.
Even though the court mage is blocking it with magic.
If it was because the weather was warm, I would understand, but the weather in the north was still cold.
Magus Killian Duke Hale said it was due to the influence of black magic, but even that is not reliable.
‘There can be no dark magic strong enough to ignore the protection of the creator god…’
But it takes ‘Meteor Swarm’ to say otherwise.
What will happen if the ‘Meteor Swarm’ falls on Hihrhera again?
Duke Escatos shook his head to get rid of the creepy imagination just thinking about it.
***
Hirhera Baylem Kingdom Army Garrison.
Knights of Seletus.
“Anna. Did you get lost at the Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison last night?”
Anna Logan, who was diligently polishing her magic gun in the inn, looked back.
The vice-captain, Baron Julie Greenwood, stood there with a strange smile.
“yes.”
Anna Logan answered briefly and polished the magic gun again.
Baron Julie Greenwood was a senior at the academy, and I was quite close.
But the friendship didn’t last long.
As the Countess of Greenwood supported the first prince and the Countess Logan supported the second prince, the relationship between the two also cracked.
“Then you must have heard the news?”
Anna Logan did not react.
It’s been a long time since our personal friendship has been broken, but suddenly pretending to be close is just embarrassing.
When Anna Logan fell silent, Baron Julie Greenwood suddenly straightened up.
“The vice-captain is asking, but his attitude is bad.”
Only then did Anna Logan put down her magic gun and turn around.
“sorry. I couldn’t answer because I didn’t know what you were talking about.”
“Ho Ho! It’s a joke. joke. What are you so serious about?”
“…”
Anna Logan’s stomach was boiling, but she held it in.
If she had known that Baron Julie Greenwood would come to join the Seletus Knights, she would not have applied.
“Did you hear the rumors about the Marquis Bernardo’s company commander, Rufus?”
Anna Logan did not deny it because she already knew and asked.
“yes.”
“I see. There were people who saw you at the Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison. After eating with the commanders, I saw it on the way out.”
Anna Logan let out a sigh of relief.
I feel dizzy just thinking about what would have happened if I had pretended to say ‘I didn’t hear’.
“What kind of relationship?”
Anna Logan was astounded at the question, but answered in a compliant manner.
“It has nothing to do with anything. I didn’t know where it was, so I only got directions for a while.”
“Do you know who he is?”
“I don’t know.”
Anna Logan remembered him fighting last night, but didn’t bother to say it.
“It would be good to know. Baron Elio Lagoa. I’m from the savage tribe of Count Putokoa. For success in life, he abandoned the county of Putocoa and went to the Marquis Bernardo family. His swordsmanship is so good that he caught the eyes of Marquis Bernardo, but he is a man who is a bit reluctant to get close to him because he is an icon of treachery. How does it look to you?”
“Because we haven’t had a conversation that was deep enough to make a judgment… I don’t know.”
Anna Logan turned Baroness Julie Greenwood off.
I don’t know what you know about him and call him an icon of betrayal.
“Oh my, is that perhaps taking the side of Baron Lagoa?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Anyway, I heard from the captain, but it seems that the Escatos Kingdom army is in an uproar.”
“why?”
Anna Logan involuntarily asked, ‘Oops!’ I wanted to
Fortunately, Baroness Julie Greenwood did not linger on her attention.
“As the assassins were revealed to be the Counts of Putokoa, it seems that a fight between the Counts of Lagoa and the Counts of Putokoa will begin. Of course, infighting broke out in this country. We’re not in a position to talk about it. Whoops!”
It was a self-deprecating laugh, but Anna Logan pretended not to see it.
“You’re not trying to do something with him for Anna’s sake, are you? No matter how much help you need, you don’t have your eyes on the traitor, do you? is not it?”
“Isn’t it the Earl of Greenwood who needs help? It would take strength to press down with brute force.”
Objectively, the first prince’s side was weak, so he said that.
The first prince of the Baylem Kingdom is a typical prodigal who has long lost the trust of the nobles.
Do you think the aristocrats will support the second prince?
The first prince was so far from the throne that infighting would not have occurred if a few nobles had not come forward to protect the first prince.
As the opinions of the aristocrats were divided, the task of succeeding to the throne was suspended in the air.
It’s a shame because the princes weren’t vicious, otherwise it would have been bloody.
But that too has changed a lot lately.
First, a small number of nobles who wanted to protect the prince began to take extreme actions.
The attempted kidnapping of Anna Logan, the daughter of the Countess Logan, was one of them.
“Anyway, I told you what kind of person Baron Lagoa is. The choice is yours, but I don’t like him.”
“I don’t feel sincere, but thank you anyway. If you have nothing more to say, would you like to take care of your gun?”
It means to stop.
Julie Greenwood had regrets, but had to turn around because she had no business to do.
‘Cunning thing. The world’s Anna Logan shows interest in Baron Lagoa?’
He said he didn’t know about him, but that wasn’t the reaction of his body.

Hirhera Escatos Kingdom Army Garrison.
Rufus Company.
late afternoon.
Fabian hurriedly entered while Elio was rolling the energy ball in his mouth.
“Squadron commander! Did you hear?”
“Ouch! Gagging—!”
Elio, who was gasping as the energy ball got caught in his throat, glared at Fabian.
“hey! men and horses! Do you want to surprise people? What is it?”
“Baron John Mitch of the Griffin Knights committed suicide leaving a suicide note.”
