Inside the court of the Imperial Palace.

 

The central pedestal was divided into steps.

 

The presiding judge and two other judges sat on the platform below, while the Emperor sat on the platform above.

 

On the left were the observers, and on the right were the witness interrogators and the Witnesses of the Vaveloa.

 

Everyone involved in the trial was already in the courtroom.

 

Meldenique quietly entered the courtroom.

 

Dressed in a black square-neck dress with her calm blonde hair, she looked strangely detached.

 

On the contrary, Hildegart, Duchess of Vaveloa of the House of Vaveloa, maintained a fresh expression.

 

The presiding judge has already taken all the bribes.

 

According to the presiding judge, the Emperor also decided to excommunicate Meldenique.

 

She handed the envelopes to reporters as well, telling them to spread the word about Meldenique's scandal.

 

The unaware Duke of Vaveloa muttered and scratched his earlobe.

 

"No, I'm not going to excommunicate anyway!"

 

"......First of all, you have to match the assortment."

 

"What kind of family disgrace is this, I am."

 

The Duke of Vaveloa did not want to excommunicate Meldenique.

 

He's not a smart guy, but he'll notice immediately after Meldenique is excommunicated.

 

The fact that Hildegart was the one who ordered this job.

 

Surely the Duke of Vaveloa, who is suspicious of this, will hold a grudge against her.

 

But it can't be helped.

 

After excommunicating Meldenique, she would have no choice but to please the Duke again.

 

"I'll start the Noble family trial, type B No. 301."

 

At the judge's solemn words, the surroundings became quiet as if cold water had been poured on them.

 

"Today's trial is abbreviated, and the sentence will be read straight away."

 

The reporters exchanged meaningful glances. It was good news because there would be no boring arguments.

 

"Over the past month, I have read and reviewed the documents related to the excommunication sent by the Duke of Vaveloa."

 

The presiding judge winked at the judge sitting on the left.

 

"Princess Meldenique Eve Vaveloa did not submit a separate document refuting. Is that correct?"

 

"Yes."

 

"Is there anything else you want to say here?"

 

Everyone's eyes were on Meldenique.

 

"No. Isn't the judgment already decided?"

 

Meldenique calmly replied.

 

However, her provocative words and actions caused a rise within the courtroom.

 

The presiding judge coughed in vain and rubbed his mustache.

 

"Well alright."

 

The presiding judge held the judgment in his hand.

 

 

 

Sweat dripped from the back of his hand.

 

Throughout the peaceful reign of nearly three hundred years, there was nothing that excommunicated nobility. Perhaps now will be the first.

 

As I was about to do something unprecedented, my back was wet with sweat, even though it was cool weather.

 

But it had to be done.

 

The presiding judge drew attention towards Hildegart the Duchess of Vaveloa.

 

The Duchess, who had been watching the trial with her arms folded, winked slightly.

 

Only then did the judge, who was encouraged, cough in vain.

 

'If this ends well, there will be additional income.'

 

What the Duchess Hildegard offered was an irresistible temptation.

 

I can't believe she'll give us a billion won. And for each of them!

 

As the saliva seemed to flow from his mouth, the judge wiped his lips.

 

In fact, he was living a life of poverty.

 

A judge is a professional honorary post with the modifier of integrity and innocence.

 

It was the maximum job that lower nobles could reach.

 

In other words, it was said that it was a poor, honorary job with no money and living on a salary that was only a tiny bit.

 

'·······Besides, I am not doing anything bad, I am only excommunicating Meldenique, who is famous for her wickedness, from the Vaveloa family.'

 

There have been rumors that Duke Vaveloa has recently changed his mind and that Meldenique is not actually cursed.

 

But he did not even witness it himself!

 

The judge didn't even feel guilty in his heart of the size of a rat.

 

Everything had already been agreed between the presiding judge and the judges.

 

The emperor, who at first asked how he would excommunicate the Nobles, also seemed to agree with Meldenique's excommunication.

 

Everything was going their way.

 

Finally, the presiding judge leisurely began to read the sentence.

 

"I will read the judgment."

 

Everyone's eyes fell on the judge's face, including the Duchess of Vaveloa, who sat in the witness seat, and Meldenique, who stood in the defendant seat.

 

"Order."

 

The presiding judge took a long deep breath.

 

"Defendant Meldenique Vaveloa·····."

 

The eyes of all Nobles and reporters shifted.

 

To the presiding judge who spits out the order the Duchess of Vaveloa is in the seat of the witness, and Princess Meldenique Vaveloa is in the seat of the accused.

 

Among them, Hildegart was the only one who was relaxed.

 

Meldenique was bowing her head, so he couldn't see her face.

 

Perhaps some of the nobles were gossiping, afraid that Meldenique would be excommunicated.

 

"Excommunicate."

 

The judge's relentless decision was exclaimed.

 

Most of them began to gossip about Meldenique's tragic ending.

 

 

"Is she really being excommunicated?"

 

"His Majesty's verdict still remains!"

 

The judge looked around and shook his head.

 

"Silence!"

 

The air around me suddenly became cold at the loud word.

 

Now it was the Emperor's turn to talk.

 

People looked toward the throne.

 

Soon after, the warm cheeks of the old Emperor shook.

 

"Now it's time for the baggage to go."

 

"Your Majesty, give your order."

 

The judge raised his body and bowed down toward the emperor.

 

"Right."

 

When the Emperor was told that, he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

 

At this moment everyone was waiting for the Emperor's last ruling.

 

The Emperor looked around.

 

From the brave Duke of Vaveloa, to Hildegart, who distorted her impression as if she was determined, and Meldenique with her calm face.

 

He smiled brightly and opened his mouth.

 

"It's so lustrous."

 

Finally, it was the moment when Meldenique, the evil woman of the Vaveloa family, was excommunicated.

 

Everyone looked towards Meldenique.

 

"Okay."

 

But unexpectedly, Meldenik looked calm and peaceful. It was a face that only thought, 'I'm just here.'

 

Naturally, those who expected that she would say that it was unacceptable and would be devastated, were puzzled.

 

Of course, Meldenique was thinking like this.

 

'Finally, the family register is broken.'

 

She rolled her lips inward and tried to hold back her laughter.

 

"I'm no longer the daughter of the Vaveloa family."

 

Méldenique, who was excommunicated, nodded, but the Duke of Vaveloa had a different attitude.

 

He opened his eyes wide and jumped up.

 

"No, what is this!"

 

The nobles, who were watching the magnificent Duke of Vaveloa, began to talk again.

 

Hildegart seated the Duke of Vaveloa down and said.

 

"It was already planned."

 

The Duke of Vaveloa, conscious of the gaze of the people around him, looked at his wife with a displeased and distorted expression and spoke softly.

 

"That's what you schemed! How can you be so arrogant behind my back?"

 

"Meldenique is a rotten root that needs to be cut out. I don't even know if she has certain abilities yet-."

 

"How dare you hit me in the back of the head?"

 

It was literally a soya powder family itself. (TN – soya powder family is korean slang for a dysfunctional family)

 

He wasn't angry with Meldenique's excommunication itself.

 

Meldenique's excommunication was out of his control, so he was angry.

 

Duke Vaveloa, who was secretly looking around, jumped up and wore a fedora.

 

He left the courtroom, huffing and puffing with fever, at the thought that his authority had been ignored.

 

"Let's stop here."

 

I was thinking of taking numbers to reverse the scandal.

 

And Hildegart, who was looking at his back, laughed.

 

"There's no way to reverse the scandal. What should I do."

 

With a pale face, she glanced at Meldenique, who was standing on a bloody stone.

 

Is this what it feels like to have a sick tooth fall out.

 

Finally, I smashed the cheeky thing that dared to stand in my and my daughters way.

 

"The Defendant let His Majesty stand alone to repair the excommunication."

 

"Alright."

 

She smiled pleasantly as she saw Meldenique leaving alone.

 

Meldenique was sent off, but Seok, an observer, was furious with the issue he had discovered in a long time.

 

"Hey, this is happening!"

 

"Is this the first excommunication of a high noble, perhaps?"

 

"I didn't know your Majesty would approve."

 

"Right, I heard she ate with His Majesty the Emperor!"

 

"I heard it, too. His Majesty is a warm-hearted person, so I thought he wouldn't excommunicate her."

 

As the presiding judge did not organize the noisy surroundings, the noise of the nobles was constantly heard.

 

"I heard it's not a cursed bloodline, what's the story?"

 

"·······Actually, that's not important anymore. She was excommunicated from the Vaveloa family...... That's how her life ends. Be sad."

 

After smiling satisfactorily, Hildegart beckoned a man dressed in black only standing next to her.

 

"Go ahead."

 

"Yes, I'll follow your order."

 

A man wearing a black mask around his mouth raised his body sharply.

 

'The Duke of Vaveloa can be enchanted again over time.'

 

Now the priority is to trample on Méldenique, who is suddenly trying to grow.

 

Hildegart looked down at Meldenique with pride. While her stepdaughter just bowed her head and left alone.

 

It was the perfect ending.

 

And, she was now in charge of getting rid of Meldenique completely.

 

Hildegart winked at all the reporters gathered here.

 

Breaking news will be released now.

 

The fact that Meldenique awakened her abilities will be buried and only the fact that she was kicked out of Vaveloa will be talked about.

 

After that, Meldenique loses everything and dies without knowing the rat or bird.

 

Hildegart laughed.
