Come to another world and become a lord

In the palace of Ester, an emergency meeting was being held in the king's private meeting room. The atmosphere of the meeting was heavy, and it involved the accident that happened at the ball. All the main people who witnessed the tragedy gathered here, and there were so many people that most of them could only stand. On the huge rectangular meeting table, from right to left sat the Prime Minister Aaron, the Minister of Finance Samuel, the Minister of Military Affairs Rhodes, and a group of ministers. Even Bishop Mede of the capital church rushed over overnight. The two parties involved in the tragedy: Myrna and Seba stood on both sides of the meeting table.

It was still early in the morning, and everyone held their breath, focusing their attention on King Philip, who was sitting in front of the conference table. Philip was just sitting there leisurely, tapping the table with his fingers. He was waiting for news from the court physician. Soon, a bald man in a gray monk's robe ran over from the harem. He was wearing gloves with blood on them. When he saw Philip, he saluted, then shook his head and said:

"Your Majesty, we have tried our best, but she still didn't make it..."

"Ella, my Ella!!" Upon hearing these words, Seba fell to his knees again, crying inconsolably.

King Philip just nodded calmly:

"Okay, I get it."

Then he looked at his disappointing son and sighed softly.

Prime Minister Aaron's face was solemn at this time. Everything was caused by his daughter. Now with the death of the maid, all the pressure has been put on him. He nodded slightly and said:

"Your Majesty, although Myrna is my daughter, I will never show favoritism to her. Such behavior must be severely punished!"

Philip sat peacefully in the chair and said in a roundabout way:

"You are too kind, Prime Minister. Although Myrna was wrong, she did have her reasons."

Then he changed the subject and said:

"Compared to this, I am more concerned about why someone could bring weapons in so easily without anyone noticing?" He said this, glanced at Carl standing in the crowd, and added, "Or he knew about it but didn't report it."

Then he continued:

"What are all these guards doing? Is the safety of this palace still guaranteed?"

"Your Majesty, it's all my fault. I am guilty. I deserve to die." After hearing Philip's words, Aaron shouted again.

He stood up from his seat and was about to kneel, but was stopped by Philip again:

"Prime Minister, you don't have to do this. After all, the children are too young and ignorant. They are idle every day and have no sense of responsibility." He paused here and continued, "If they could get married early, have their own family, and have their own territory, and understand the hardships of life, they would not do such a thing. Prime Minister, what do you think?"

"I will follow your majesty's arrangements~" Aaron replied.

Philip immediately smiled:

"In that case, let them get married quickly and forget about this unpleasant matter. After they get married, I want to hand over the two baronies of Rosyth and Noyes to them to manage."

"In that case, I can also allocate two baronies, Rosta and Aldo, to them. My daughter is spoiled and cannot endure hardship. Two more territories will also bring more income." Aaron replied.

"That's decided!" Philip's face was almost blooming with smiles.

But suddenly I heard Seba shout:

"How does this work?"

He had already stood up, with tears on his face, and even his words were trembling:

"Father, how could you let me marry a murderer? She killed Ella! She is a murderer! I will never forgive her in my life!"

"Shut up!" Philip scolded impatiently, "She is your fiancée. It's all your own fault!"

On the other side, Milna also shouted at the same time:

"I won't marry, even if I die."

"Shut up! Do you still have the qualifications to speak?" Aaron shouted angrily from the side.

But then I heard Myrna say:

"If it's because I killed that maid, I admit it. I have no complaints whether I'm beheaded or go to jail. But it's impossible for me to marry her!"

"You are rebellious. What reason do you have not to get married?" Aaron was already fuming with anger at this time.

"I, of course I do~" Milna scratched her head and said after thinking for a while, "I, I already have someone in my heart."

"What? How come I don't know? Why don't you tell me who it is?" Aaron continued to scold.

Mirna scratched her head, as if racking her brains to think about the problem, and then suddenly pointed at Karl and said:

"It's him, Karl. We've had a secret relationship for a long time, and we've even decided to spend our lives together!"

"What!" This time it was Carl's turn to open his mouth wide. He was just a spectator, but he didn't expect that he would be the one eating the melon. He and Milna had an affair? How come he didn't know?

Not only Aaron, but also King Philip and a group of ministers have focused their attention on him.

Surprised, he quickly saluted and replied:

"Your Majesty, this is absolutely not the case~"

But I heard Milna beside me say:

"He's just too cowardly to admit it."

I didn't, I wasn't. Karl was really complaining in his heart at this moment. This Milna was really a troublemaker. Although she had helped him a lot, she was also a first-class level of cheating people sometimes. The key point was, how could she kill people? It was okay for her to make trouble at that level, but how could she do such a thing as killing people? What was wrong with the girl she killed? She was just with her lover and didn't provoke anyone.

Life is worthless. In fact, he has long understood this truth. In this world, the lives of commoners are nothing to nobles. This is also very clear from the reactions of others. When a person dies, everyone is not concerned about whether the murderer should be punished, but whether the two people can get married smoothly. And he is the same. Although he sympathizes with the girl, he can't stand against Myrna and say she is wrong.

King Philip fell into deep thought at this time. It would have been fine if it was just one person, but the fact that both of them were unwilling was simply a slap in his face.

At this moment, Bishop Mede, who had been sitting on his left, suddenly spoke:

"Since both children don't want to, why force them?"

His voice was deep and powerful, his deep eyes sparkled with light, and he was wearing a bishop's robe decorated with gold embroidery, which made people feel holy and solemn. He continued:

"After all, we are talking about a crime, and the criminal should be punished. Why are you suddenly forcing me into marriage?"

This made Philip feel extremely embarrassed and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Then Bishop Mede was heard saying to Prime Minister Aaron:

"Since your daughter doesn't want to, as a parent, don't force her. She killed someone, so she deserves to be punished. But after all, she is the daughter of the prime minister, so I can't be too harsh on her. Why don't you come to my church and become a nun, praying and cultivating your mind every day, blessing the living, praying for the dead, and atone for their sins. When all your sins are atonement, you can return to the secular world. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, Prime Minister Aaron immediately bowed his head:

"My Lord Bishop, please be merciful. I am willing to donate half a year's tax revenue from the Western Territory to the church."

Bishop Mede nodded and said:

"I also promise you that all the money will be used to help the poor and children. I believe that in this way, Miss Myrna's sins will be redeemed soon."

After saying this, he turned to look at Seba:

"I'm sorry for Ms. Ella's death. She was a good girl and a devout Christian. But this was all because of you. You two violated the rules of the church, indulged yourselves, and did some indecent things. That's why you brought this disaster upon yourself. In a sense, she died because of you."

At this time, Seba's face was full of tears:

"Your Excellency, this is all my fault. Ella is a good girl. She is kind and pious..."

"I understand~" Maide nodded and said, "Although she made a mistake, no one is perfect. The Lord of Light has always seen it. Her piety will be affirmed. Although she is gone, her soul will return to the Lord's arms and be well taken care of."

When he finished, Seba burst into tears again.

Finally, he focused his attention on Karl again:

"And Viscount Karl."

"Your Excellency the Bishop, Myrna and I really don't have that kind of relationship." Carl argued.

But the bishop shook his finger slightly and said:

"That's not what I'm talking about. I mean, you discovered Miss Myrna was hiding weapons at the banquet, but you didn't report it."

"I guess you may not be convinced in your heart, and you will think: Who could have expected such a thing? You think it is just a small mistake, no big deal. But the facts prove that if a small mistake is not stopped, it may lead to a big disaster."

"I was wrong." Carl lowered his head. He had to admit that the bishop was right on this point and he couldn't refute it.

King Philip looked at Maide, then at the people around him. He yawned out of boredom, then rolled his eyes. After making sure the bishop had finished speaking, he said nonchalantly:

"The matter should be considered over now. Now that it's over, let's all go our separate ways."

Then he stood up first, and while standing up, he almost rolled his eyes and glanced at Bishop Maide, and then walked out with a swagger.

Seba still stood there, his heart filled with anger and sadness. Then, he suddenly heard someone behind him say to him:

"I am deeply sorry for Miss Ella's death."

He turned around in surprise, only to see Earl Morton standing behind him, and heard the Earl continue to say:

"If it were me, I would definitely avenge her."

Seba's heart trembled again. He gritted his teeth in anger, then shook his head weakly.

"That's the prime minister's daughter. My father won't allow it."

But then I heard Morton say:

"Maybe I can't touch Myrna, but I can touch the people around her."

Then he pointed at Carl who was about to leave:

"You see that man, right? He is Myrna's lover. She has admitted it herself. Moreover, it was him who knew that Myrna brought weapons in but did not stop her. He is an accomplice in Ms. Ella's death! Let's find him and let Myrna also taste the pain of losing her lover~"

Seba looked at Carl's receding figure and clenched his fists for a moment.
