"Albert Hermas, the heir to the BLACK WOLF HOUSEHOLD."Did you really order your knights to assassinate your fiance NOAH CAMPBELL?"The headmaster, Author, inquired.

Albert is now on trial before the royal court at academy for attempted murder against Noah.Author, the Academy's headmaster, is the primary judge.The count is also attended by the crown prince and other high-ranking nobles.Albert is in the middle of the count.The royal court.

Noah is also included.He keeps staring at the boy, who doesn't appear to frighten them in the least.

"No, my lord.I didn't give the order, and my knights didn't try to assassinate the young duke.It's all a misunderstanding."Albert stated confidently.

"Then Do you mean Duke Noah is lying?" the author asked, his face expressionless.

Albert says nothing and just stares at Noah.Noah, on the other hand, remains mute and looks at Albert with a cold gaze.

Of course, instead of discovering the truth, people like him will side with the more powerful person.Because he will gain nothing from learning the truth.What a cunning fox.

"Why don't you say anything,then guards take out that criminal," he shouted powerfully, and the knight carried the injured Francis after a while.

Francis can't even stand up straight because of the wounds.

"Francis!"Albert's gaze was fixed on the individual being dragged like a beaten animal.He attempted to flee towards Francis, but was stopped by the knights.

The guards forcibly threw Francis to the ground near where Albert was standing.

Francis's body is covered with blood, and he is struggling to stay conscious.

"Francis..." Albert started in a voice that Francis could hear.

"Young master," Francis can only state quitely.He is ashamed since the master he served is being treated as a criminal as a result of his carelessness.Albert, on the other hand, feels terrible because he became this way because he obeyed his orders.He couldn't protect him.

Albert's heart hurts when he sees someone he respects and considers as a family member in that way.

"Francis , is it true that your master gave you the order to assassinate Duke NOAH?"

Albert shouted, "I told you he did nothing..."

He began to lose his cool and yelled, but was cut off by Francis.

"Young master, please don't try to cover up what I had done wrong.I did it out of personal resentment toward the Duke.I am responsible for my actions."My lord," Francis stated firmly.

"What are you talking about, Francis?"It is not true."

"Duke Hermas, please don't interfere," the headmaster Author said.

"Master Albert is innocent; he knows nothing about these.""Please let him go," begged Francis.

"Francis!" Albert yelled angrily.

"Young master, Please," Francis smiled.Albert understands the meaning of that smile.

Francis makes the ultimate sacrifice since he knows they will not let this go easily.They are after Albert, therefore he must bear full responsibility for Albert's  safety and the safety of the black wolf household.If Albert collapses, the entire dukedom perishes.

Albert gripped his fit tightly before releasing it.He is powerless to stand against them.He must give up him.He can't look at Francis's face longer and turns away.

"What a shame, the diamond level knight Francis, that you are guilty of attempted murder against The Duke NOAH."As a punishment, you deserve the death penalty."

Albert can't believe what he's hearing.
"No death penalty."It is ..."

"Wait, uncle," a strong voice echoes .

The golden-haired handsome boy, who has been silent since the start of the trial, has begun to speak.

"Pardon, your highness"Author was also taken aback by the idea that his nephew was involved in this situation.It is an unusual circumstance.

Everyone, even Albert, was taken aback.For a time, the pair of beautiful ruby eyes make eye contact with him.Is that an ordinary misconception?

"Uncle, despite the fact that Sir Francis is guilty.We must remember his tremendous efforts during the war and his sacrifice for the country.He is a well-known knight who has saved many people's lives."So I personally request that you reduce his punishment," crown prince Xavier remarked calmly.

They don't dare to oppose it because it is a personal request from the crown prince.

"Ahem....If you say so, then Knight Francis will be exiled to the Northern land" He stated.

The severe weather and deadly magical creatures make it difficult to survive in the north.Almost no one has survived the banishment to the north.It is nearly identical to the death punishment.But Albert is confident that Francis will survive.He is not an ordinary knight.Albert is finally able to breathe.Even though he has no idea why the crown prince is helping him, it is not that simple.What matters now is that Francis is safe.

"Guard, drag the criminal back to prison," the author orders.

"Don't be worried, young master."I'll be fine."He remembers to utter these words to Albert before being dragged away.

After Francis vanished from view.

"The trial is not yet finished, Albert Hermas.

Despite the fact that you were not a part of the Assisnation.Because you failed to fulfill your responsibilities as a leader, we decided that you are unfit for the title of Duke."As punishment, you are demoted from Duke to Count title in front of the royal family and honorable nobles," Author says.

"Do you have anything to say?" he inquired.

'Hell yeah, but not now.'

"I accept my punishment and thank you for your generosity.""Lord Author," Albert answered coldly.

He isn't surprised because he expected it.They're going to bring me down in some way.

Albert looks at Noah, who remains silence and stares at him.He appears emotionless.

But Albert understands that behind this impassive expression is disappointment.

At the chamber,

The loud sounds of the broken glass could be heard in the chamber.
Why is that jerk getting involved? He's really getting on my nerves.
I want to kill him.

Why did he help him?Did Al also seduce him?I'm going to Fucking kill all these jerks with my own hand.

Sir Noah, your hand is bleeding.
Robert had wanted to assist him.

"Shut up and leave," Noah yelled aggressively, startling Robert.

He then leaned back in his chair, laying his hand on his eyes.His hand is dripping with blood.

He can't forget His beloved Al's look that fill with hatred at the trial.

"Fuck"
