Michael chose silence.


"Look, Lord Agnito doesn't say much. I guess he's been checked out for not


denying it."


"Then don't you think you did it in a hurry during the day? Maybe it ended


too soon to be angry?"


"Oh, that makes sense. I think that's the answer.


"Oh, my God. Does it make sense for a homunculus like this to be


sentenced to higher rank? I must urge them to strengthen the training of the


training center."


Stephania looked back at Michael and asked him questioningly.


"Have you got something to say, Lord Agnito?"


"None."


"So you admit you're useless?"


"......I, as a knight, will do my best to support Her Majesty the Seven."


"Ha!


You're not pretending to be a noble knight! On the subject of Homunclus!"


Derek stepped in, pointing a finger at him.


It was an insult that denied even his identity as a knight.
'The Empress doesn't use me as such a tool.'


Michael swallowed the words inside that he couldn't bring himself to say.
In this degenerate imperial palace, the only consolation seemed to be Eve.


Meanwhile, Stephania and Derek have pleaded guilty to Michael at will.


"I'm sure Michaelis Agneto is not qualified as a direct engineer."


"It is an imperial shame to have a defective homunculus in the palace."


"Under Homunculus Management Act, we're required to re-evaluate if we


don't play the right role. It's the duty of the immediate knight to give


satisfaction to the imperial family at night, isn't it? "Homun Kluss deserves


to be demoted because he doesn't perform his duties properly."


"You're right, Derek."


From the start, their purpose was to create a justification for Michael to go


to prison.


"We'll demote him to the lowest level. We'd better seal the Manna circuit


and keep it in the yard for life."


"Wow, isn't your father's woes deep because of the decline in the amount of


rock mining these days? That's a good idea."


Of course, no matter how imperial Stephania and Derek were, it was


difficult to adjust Michael's rating with only Saint-Ttze.


So they decided to use one more means as despicable as personality.


"The sooner we get things done, the better. Let's give Michaelis Agnito a


clear reason for his exit."


"I should. Eve, this is a small thing to do, so we'll give it to you instead."


Stephania's wall overlooking Michael glowed.


"Well, you've got to be a cripple.


I'll hold it."
Michael realized that the worst thing he had ever thought was in store.
