Episode 174

As Benician said that, he took out a brown envelope sealed with magic from his suit pocket and handed it to Ray.

“I really… “How great would it be if we just pretended to have been harmed by White and stayed in jail?”

“I’m sorry. That doesn’t suit my temperament. “More than that, did you know that I would come to the Supreme Court?”

“Then you don’t know. “I can see that you would definitely come here to see the evidence.”

“Why do you know so much about me?”

Ray accepted the envelope from Beninian.

After handing the envelope to Ray, the Venetian raised a finger to his chin and said.

“Why is this suddenly happening? “It seems too unexpected to be related to eight years ago.”

For your information, White, the Knight Commander, and Venetian, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, knew about the truth of the incident eight years ago.

Ray didn’t tell me directly, but Laura did.

Ray thought it was related to the recent killing of humans related to the doctor and the killing of Aaron, but he did not bother to tell Benician about it.

I didn’t say anything, but instead opened the envelope he handed me.

The envelope Benetian handed over contained evidence and documents containing the testimonies of witnesses.

Benician muttered quietly to Ray who was checking it.

“really… “You’ve been through a lot since eight years ago.”

“I know.”

“What are you going to do with that evidence? Even if we try to make this a public issue, the Blois family will definitely not nod. Rather, people’s distrust will only increase. They say Ray Vallière fabricated evidence… “The Blois family is a family that can do that.”

“The easiest way is for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court to make it public.”

“uh? that… yes. that is… It’s the easiest way… … .”

The Venetian was embarrassed by what Ray said jokingly and avoided Ray’s gaze.

Looking at that scene, Ray sighed inwardly.

As Ray said, this case can be solved really simply.

Laura, in this situation where there is no progress, if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Venetian, takes Ray’s side and declares the evidence invalid, this matter can be easily resolved.

Moreover, Venetian is the most trusted Innocent in this country, following Laura, so there won’t be even a rumor behind him.

But Ray knew.

That there is no righteous person in the world who can lay down everything for a stranger.

Pia, who helped herself without any reason, was a special case, but in reality, most people were like Beninian.

Among the Innocents, Venetian is the only human commoner with Dampierre, and in fact, his strength itself is the lowest among the Innocents.

This means that the reason he is a person who receives a lot of trust from the people is because of his usual behavior, not because of his strength.

Of course, since he is an Innocent, he must be very strong compared to ordinary people.

So, even though he was the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and an Innocent, he did not have the guts to antagonize the 12 families.

To be exact, he didn’t have the confidence to risk everything for Ray.

Knowing the truth from eight years ago, all he could do for Ray was to secretly deliver evidence to her.

‘That’s right. Rather, I think Pia is strange.’

Ray decided to be grateful just for bringing him this evidence.

Ray tried to leave as soon as he checked the evidence.

Then the Benician called Ray over.

“ray! “What are you going to do now?”

“What are you going to do? As you say, people won’t believe anything I say. “Then there’s only one thing I can do, right?”

“Are you planning on hitting Blois?”

“okay. There is also a clear cause. Oh, don’t worry. I won’t say that you gave me evidence. “You have nothing to do with me in this case.”

“that… That’s not it! Are you planning to kill the entire Blois family?”

“no way. I don’t do things that quickly. what… Should I just kill Adi?”

“ray!”

“know. I’m kidding. I will think about it and deal with it in my own way. So don’t worry about it and mind your own business. Ah, thank you for what you gave me.”

“… … .”

With those words, Ray left with the evidence bag in hand.

Benician, who had been following Ray’s back with his eyes, soon found himself disappearing and leaned his back against the wall, mocking himself.

“The person who is the Chief Justice of the Empire… You have to be such a coward… … .”

Although he is the chief justice of a well-known empire, he does not have the courage to stand up for innocent people.

What will the public think if they find out?

If the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court had been Ray and not him… If it was white… … .

No matter how much I comforted myself by saying that I was a commoner and an Innocent, I had no power to fight against the 12 families, but in the end, all I could think of was self-deprecation about my miserable self and lack of courage.

Even though he was a commoner, he was talented in magic and achieved results that surpassed those of the 12 families at Itaris Magic School.

There were times when the Beninians fell into the conceit that there was nothing special about the 12 families, even if only for a moment.

He even had great aspirations to get a job at the Imperial Investigation Department and create a fair world.

… Until that happened about 10 years ago.

-yes?! Stop investigating? If you do just a little more, you can find out the client who committed this incident?! Since a witness also came forward… … .

―Quit if you have to! Unless you want to lag behind!

-yes? What is that… … .

Benician, who was young and overconfident at the time, did not stop and continued the investigation alone even after receiving an order from his superiors to stop the investigation.

Benician, who realized that one of the 12 families was behind the incident, secretly met the witness and tried to receive evidence from him.

With only this evidence, it will be difficult for any of the 12 families to avoid judgment.

The night I was supposed to meet the witness, I was in a dark alley in Jedo Island.

-really… It’s really good, right?

-Sure. There will be no disadvantage to the witness. Don’t worry, I’ve already completed the application for witness protection.

-thank you… Sobbing… really… I couldn’t sleep because I was scared… … .

-Hehehe. Starting today, you will be able to sleep with your legs stretched out. Thank you for your hard work. Then this evidence will be in court tomorrow… … .

At the time, Beninian couldn’t look around because he was so consumed by the fact that he had accomplished things that even his superiors could not accomplish.

No, even if I looked around, nothing would have changed.

It was that moment.

Wow!

-uh?

-huh?

There was the sound of a blade cutting into flesh, and then… … .

-uh… … ?

Slurp.

The witness knelt on the floor.

-uh… what? Witness?

Benisian panicked and called the witness, making eye contact with the witness who was kneeling.

At that moment, the witness’s eyes were bloodshot and he was about to open his lips while holding onto Benician’s shoulders with a miserable expression.

―The Venetian… this… Somehow… Right? My body feels weak… … .

Sigh-

At that moment, a large amount of blood spurted out from the witness’s back.

The blood spurted out so much that it even covered the night sky and was splattered on the Venetian’s face.

For a moment, the Beninian did not understand the situation.

Just when he realized that the warm liquid on his face was the witness’s blood, a ‘silhouette of a girl’ appeared in front of him.

The shadow of a girl who is only half her height.

Although none of the girl’s eyes, nose, or mouth were visible in the shadow, Benician intuitively felt an enormous amount of life in the shadow.

Benician belatedly widened the distance and fired several shots of instantaneous magic he knew at the shadow, but there was no way the magic would work on the shadow.

The shadow did not dodge Benician’s magic and just walked without making a sound, and soon closed the distance between Benician and Benician.

‘ah… Is this why I told you to quit? … !’

Before that thought occurred to him, a dagger without even blood on it touched the Venetian’s neck.

Shoo!

No, just before it reached, the shadow wavered uneasily and disappeared into the floor along with the dagger.

The Venetian sat down.

Then, he touched his neck with a liquid that I couldn’t tell if it was tears or sweat.

Fortunately, the neck was still attached.

But I couldn’t even be relieved by that fact.

-this… this… What on earth… … .

A black shadow that disappeared in an instant.

And the body of the witness lying in front of us.

And a pool of blood engulfing the corpse.

The Venetian saw the scene… … .

-uh… Uh… Argh!!!

… He even left the evidence behind and ran away.

The next day, Beninian and the witness did not appear in court, and the 12 families he had indicted were casually acquitted.

A few days later, he returned to work to make a living, but during the investigation, whenever anything related to the 12 families came up, he avoided it as if it had never happened from the beginning.

Nevertheless, he had good abilities and was able to neatly handle all matters outside of the 12 families, so he was able to rise to a high position even at a young age, and when the Innocent position became vacant, Laura recommended him.

-yes? my… Am I Innocent?

-huh. Normally, to become an Innocent, you would have to take a test or apply for a replacement match with another Innocent, but I specifically recommended you.

-uh… why… I… Something like me… … .

―You have made a great contribution to resolving most of the recent incidents that have occurred within the Itaris Islands, right? Hey… It was amazing. They say that 80% of the recently caught wanted criminals are all thanks to you? You can’t put someone like this in an ambiguous position, right?

-what… That’s right, but even so, why would I be given the title given to the strongest person in Itaris… According to what Laura said, shouldn’t it be arranged within the Investigation Department or the Knights’ Order, rather than Innocent?

-You said it with your own mouth. The title of Innocent is given to the strongest people in Itaris. And that strength is not limited to simply physical or magical strength. The same goes for mental strength.

―… … .

―My eyes are not mistaken~

Thinking about it now, Beninian’s guess is that Laura probably recommended ‘Innocent’ in order to hand over the position of ‘Chief Justice of the Supreme Court’ to the highly capable Beninian.

No matter how talented he is, if a commoner with no background were to take the position of Chief Justice, there would be severe opposition from the 12 families and the nobility.

If not, I don’t understand.

What mental strength for a coward like yourself?

Laura must have seen it wrong.

‘Why did Laura hand over the position of Chief Justice to me?’

There is no reason to be the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Venetian’s abilities are specialized in catching wanted criminals.

Therefore, it is correct to assign him to the head of the investigation department or the knights rather than the chief justice of the Supreme Court.

And perhaps, if it had been arranged that way, Beninian would have been convinced.

This reason was a question that remained unresolved even after Benisian became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

After finishing the reminiscence, Benician felt envy as he remembered the back of Ray, who had already disappeared.

‘The mental strength that Laura mentioned… You’re probably talking about kids like Ray.’

The Venetian leaned his back against the wall, not caring that his suit was getting dirty, and sighed softly, cursing his weakness.
