Chapter 195.9: Resistance 3

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

On the night following Bavarian liberation by Juno and the others, the town council members were holding a meeting in a tent located at the central plaza of Resta. Due to the diversionary tactic done by Juno and the others, Heinrich still remained oblivious of Bavarian’s liberation.

The town council members were already sitting in a row when Heinrich entered the tent. This nobleman was the last person to come in. Or so it should. Usually, it was customary for Heinrich to be the last to enter the room since his social pedigree as a nobleman stood above the other commoner but today, Heinrich wasn’t the last one to enter the meeting.

The adventurers’ guild’s master, Shrike, and Elsa’s father weren’t here yet.

Maybe they’re going to be absent from today’s meeting?

Heinrich thought to himself, his brows were furrowed together. 

Then, in the very next moment…

“Now then, I will also join you guys here.”

While uttering those words, Bavarian, who was supposed to be still imprisoned by Heinrich, entered the meeting place. He was accompanied by Shrike and Elsa’s father as well as Margo and Juno who came as his bodyguard. 

“Wha-…. Father….?”

Heinrich was staring in disbelief.

“My son.What is expected from us, noble, is not shrewd intelligence, but a good moral ethic. Shame on you for trying to take advantage of our benefactor, Keigo, to fill your own pocket!”

Bavarian said so while thrusting his finger at Heinrich.

This place was the legislative assembly. A place where battle was fought not with force but with words. Be that as it may be, it wasn’t like there was no possibility that the offended party wouldn’t exert physical force to bring the other down but since both of them brought their bodyguard along with them, that kind of scenario unlikely would happen.

“What are you talking about? You don’t even have any evidence to back your claim! Besides, you’ve already retired from your place in the political ground. I wish you will refrain from meddling any further!!”

Heinrich, who was quick to regain his stance, shamelessly stated.

“My son, there’s no need to rush. Let the representatives of our beloved town decide who is more suitable to govern this town. But if despite everything they still deem you as someone worthy to govern then I will immediately take my leave from here.”

Bavarian stated with great dignity.

“Fufu….. So be it. You’ve been defeated once. Just how many times do you want to repeat the same thing over and over again until you’re satisfied?”

Heinrich looked so relaxed and confident.

“Now then, everyone. Just now, the two nobles had given us an order to decide which one of them is more suitable to govern this town as a noble from Resta. Let’s decide on our vote now. If you think Heinrich-sama is more suitable then please raise your left hand and if you think Bavarian-sama is more suitable then please raise your right hand.”

After Elsa’s father said so, almost everyone in the meeting raised their right hand.

“Incredulous!”

Heinrich was at a loss for word.

“It seems we’ve reached our conclusion. My son, you are sentenced to house arrest for the time being. We shall wrap the other things later.”

Juno and Margo, who were standing guard behind them, went to capture Heinrich. 

“What are you doing?! You guys! Protect me!”

“………..”

Heinrich frantically shouted at his guard behind him. He sounded as if he was about to go crazy. The two guards looked at the face of the new noble in power, Bavarian. Bavarian had regained his political position once again. Seeing this, the two guards then dropped their sword to the ground.

Juno and Margo continued to apprehend Heinrich despite all of the shouting before they handed him over to the other member that had been waiting outside of the tent.

After that, Heinrich was home by force. 

“Margo, Juno, I can’t thank you enough for your help. Thank you.”

As he said that, Bavarian bowed his head to Margo and Juno, who were back to waiting for him behind him.

“No, Bavarian-sama. Please raise your head. We only wish to help Keigo out. We’re the ones who want to thank you for agreeing to be reinstated.”

Flustered, Margo said in a hurry.

“Everyone, these people are the ones who’ve been helping me to be reinstated. They’re from a group called Blue Brigade and this gentleman right here is their leader, Margo. While this gentleman is their vice leader, Juno. I’m deeply moved by their love toward their friend. I would like to appoint the Blue Brigade as an official vigilante group in our town, even if I have to use my own personal fortune for it.”

Bavarian paused for a moment before he continued.

“And also, I would like to give both Margo and Juno the position of becoming the town council member. I hope from now on they will continue to give their support for the development of Resta!”

With this, the coup d’etat attempt by Heinrich came to its end while Margo and Juno were left bewildered at the sudden turn of events. 

At the same time, in a place far away from Resta, near the northeast of the national’s border, there were Keigo and the others. Just like usual, they still hadn’t decided what to have for today’s dinner. They were still living carefreely, without any inkling of what was happening in Resta at this point of time.

T/N: So Heinrich’s punishment is still kinda undecided. He’s being put on house arrest as of now.
