Release that Witch - Chapter 963

[Chapter 948 Unexpected Disposal]
“Your Majesty, I…”
To Roland’s surprise, the other party did not blurt out the answer as usual, but rather hesitated, which can be called very rare for the commander of the first army.
Originally just a casual question, he suddenly became interested. Roland didn’t think Iron Ax would have ulterior motives, not to mention that full responsibility itself included the means of disposal, and there was no essential difference between burning and hanging.
What he was curious about was that since being emotional and reasonable is not considered a violation of an order, the other party’s hesitation is a bit worth pondering.
However, he did not choose to continue to exert pressure, but just leaned back in his chair, waiting for Mojin’s answer.
After hesitating for a while, Iron Ax suddenly knelt down, “No, Your Majesty…Miss Edith provided the plan to completely wipe out the enemy nobles, but I was the one who implemented it, so I should take full responsibility.”
Edith?
Roland was stunned. Is this the plan of the staff department?
No, he didn’t see anything related to this in the plan, so… It’s a private chat?
In a flash, he understood the reason for the other party’s hesitation.
In this era when private soldiers are prevalent, anything related to the army is considered a forbidden area for the lord, and it is most taboo for outsiders to intervene, even if it is a suggestion and reminder that is beneficial to the situation of the war.
If it happened in the territory of other nobles, the private proposer would inevitably be punished, and Iron Ax didn’t want to implicate Edith, nor did he want to use lies to cover it up, so the initial entanglement appeared.
“I see. You handled the war on the Eastern Front very well. Afterwards, the city hall will formulate rewards based on the statistics of the battle results. You can go down first.”
Iron Ax was taken aback, “Your Majesty, won’t you… punish me?”
Roland couldn’t help laughing, “Why? Have you violated any regulations?”
“Uh”
“My order is to clean up the rebels in the eastern region and bring their cities into my rule. The specific process is up to you.” He paused, “If you are inspecting the military camp and hear two soldiers discussing the battle situation , and you adopted their opinions, should I punish you and these two people? Besides, Edith herself is a member of the staff, so it is normal to have some ideas about the combatant.”
“So…you think none of us are at fault for this matter?” Iron Ax couldn’t help but raise his head.
“I didn’t say that,” Roland shrugged. “Just because you have no problems doesn’t mean that Edith doesn’t have any problems, but the next thing has nothing to do with you. Go back and have a good rest.”
Iron Ax opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something more, but in the end he chose to obey the order under his gaze, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
As soon as the Commander-in-Chief of the First Army left, Roland immediately called the city hall’s dedicated line, “Notify Edith to come to the castle.”
In less than half an hour, Pearl of the North appeared at the door of the office.
“Your Majesty, this matter is my responsibility,” Edith said immediately, “I am willing to accept any punishment from you.”
Roland looked at her with interest, “You already know what I’m going to say before I speak?”
“The Eastern Front Army just returned to Neverwinter, and the first person you summoned must have been Iron Axe. If he hadn’t reported to you the inside story of the burning of the nobles, I don’t think you would have called me over so soon.”
It’s easy to talk to a smart person, Roland thought to himself, and looking at this frank appearance, one can’t help but feel that she is the loyal minister who has been wronged for the country.
However, the smarter a person is, the easier it is to fall into the dead end he piled up sometimes.
“First of all, I took the initiative to ask him this matter. After all, it is not his style to deceive the nobles together and pretend to be a fire scene. Besides, since you think you are responsible, what is the problem?”
“I met with the Commander of the First Army on an informal occasion, and I have not applied to you…”
“Wrong,” Roland interrupted directly, “Your problem is that you violated the regulations of the staff department. According to the regulations, any combat plan needs to be recorded on paper and submitted to me for review.”
Edith obviously didn’t expect him to say that, and couldn’t help but widen her eyes, “Your Majesty?”
“Isn’t it?”

“But…” Pearl of the North looked incomprehensible, “Once it is carried out in your name, wouldn’t it be you who did it in the eyes of other officials?”
“You’re right,” Roland raised the corner of his mouth, “Is there any problem?”
“This…” Like Iron Axe, Edith also appeared confused, “Although they are rebels, but… they are also nobles. In the eyes of some nobles, your actions may…”
“I know what you want to say,” Roland waved his hand, “but if even I can’t resist, do you think you can withstand the backlash?”
“I”
“Relax, I just want to discuss with you, do you really think it’s the right thing to do if something goes wrong?”
“Top… pot?”
“Ahem, it’s fine if you understand it as shirking responsibility.” Luo Lansheng broke off, “Back to this matter, it was obviously for the Kingdom of Graycastle. In the end, not only did I not get the honor, but I would die because of it. I feel at ease. I even clapped my hands and cheered. If other people knew about it, would those officials still be loyal to me wholeheartedly?”
Edith fell silent.
“That’s why the king is the most suitable person in charge. Only in this way, the people below will not have any burden. Because of this, I need to review the final plan of the staff department, even if it is something I am not good at. thing, do you understand?”
After a while, Pearl of the North nodded and said, “I am arrogant.”
“The punishment for violating the regulations is to cancel all the credit for this two-line offensive, and you could have been promoted.” Roland took a sip of tea, “That’s all for now, you can go on with your work.”
“Yes, please allow me to leave.” Edith stroked her chest and saluted.
“So…you did it for nothing this time?” Cole Kant carefully pushed the honey mushroom in front of Edith, and then watched the other party fork into the mushroom slices, “Other colleagues can be promoted , you don’t have one?”
“That’s right, I don’t have one.” Pearl of the Northland munched on the burnt bird’s-kiss mushroom, as if venting her dissatisfaction with the dinner, “Listen to what His Majesty said, “If even I can’t resist, you Can you bear this backlash?” If you can’t bear it, you need an outlet.
Of course, if it was a lord like my father, I would never do this, just knowing that His Majesty would not ignore it, UU Reading www.
sonicmtl.com felt that the investment would not be too bad, and the risk was still controllable, but he dismissed all my actions in two or three sentences, thinking that I was thinking too much, idealists are so naive What!
”
“Uh…sister, are you angry?” Cole wiped the sweat from his forehead.
“Why, can’t you see it?” Edith stared.
The latter shrank his neck quickly. It was the first time he saw his elder sister showing such an expression on a non-banquet occasion. After more than ten years of getting along with him, Cole clearly knew how much his elder sister loved power.
If it’s what she said, it’s normal to be annoyed, complained, or disappointed because of this incident, but… her expression didn’t tell him that, it was more like a mixed An angry… strange smile.
And if he didn’t make a mistake, usually similar complaints would be called Jiaochen.
Oh my god… Cole couldn’t help but shudder when he thought of this, that Pearl of the Northland who either always looked indifferent, or pretended to calculate his opponent, would actually laugh?
And different from the hypocrisy at the banquet, she seemed completely unaware of her expression at the moment. Is this the Edith Kant he was familiar with?
“Huh?” Edith narrowed her eyes dangerously without getting an answer for a long time.
Colton suddenly felt the hairs on his back stand upside down. No, she is still his elder sister. There is no mistake in that. “I just think…Your Majesty may have his own considerations, right?”
“Let him do as he pleases,” Northern Pearl put the last piece of mushroom into his mouth, “I really want to see how high an idealist can reach. But…”
“But what?” Cole had a vague premonition.
“But my displeasure is indeed due to the fact that Edith raised her thin lips, “For the rest of the time, I will use you to calm down.
