Two days later, the cardinal was decapitated in the presence of the nobles. The charges were treason and regicide. To be honest, it was rather ridiculous. Regardless of the circumstances, it hadn’t been an easy matter to simply off a great noble and the supreme religious leader of a kingdom. Rather, it was a serious matter. Not only for the religious people of the kingdom but for foreign countries as well. In particular, the Holy Empire was responsible for anointing the cardinal, and it could well send investigators to demand a thorough investigation of the truth.

In other words, under normal circumstances, it would have been near impossible to put the cardinal to death so quickly.[1] However, the near impossible had happened. It was because the royal castle’s nobles were more fearful of what awaited them immediately rather than the things that would happen in the distant past.

They would need to face the noble union, Count Winslon, as well as Count Hatres, who had set off to face them. Those people would obviously storm the capital immediately upon hearing the news that the king had been killed by a monster created by the court wizard.

And there was no chance in hell that the nobles from the noble union would laugh and…

- Hahaha, is that so? How unfortunate! All of you must have had a hard time.

…say such a thing.

The one holding the sword was the king. They would definitely rush the capital and exterminate all families with even a sliver of connection...
