As Abel looked back at Izukaya, the head butler hurriedly opened his mouth.

"Then what happens to me?"

"The trial hasn't even started yet. Your innocence must be proven first."

"Oh, I see."

"I hope you will testify honestly in court as well."

"Of course."

The general butler said with a big smile.

But Abel looked at him with cold eyes.

'Your fate has already been decided.'

Isn't he a bat-like guy who would sell out his allies at any time?

Who would use him, anyway?

It was to the point where Abel couldn't tell if he was quick-witted or not.

Soon, he arrested all the key figures of the Marquis Soltree family.

There was a great uproar in the political world of the Duchy of Crawford.

This was because the nobles who were sitting in high-ranking official positions were suddenly removed.

What was especially surprising was that even the head of the Basix Saltry Serijang was sentenced to prison.

"It's just a really windy day."

"I'm dying from anxiety because the country is turning upside down every day."

The poor were rejoicing at the prospect of new jobs, while the high-ranking nobles were anxious about whether they would be affected.

On the other hand, the public opinion of the lower-ranking nobles, who were mid-level managers, was different.

"With so many officials leaving this time, I'm not sure if the government will be able to function properly."

"We're going to be short on manpower for a while."

"If that's the case, me too?"

Because the Crawford Bureau was such a small agency, it had only a few officials.

But thanks to the relentless purges, weren't there a lot of empty seats?

It seemed like I could go in now.

It didn't matter if my abilities were somewhat lacking or my reputation was not good.

After all, there were few people who were proficient in writing and arithmetic.

But no matter how long I waited, the job posting never appeared.

"It's strange. The construction workers and loggers are being hired in large numbers, but why is there no news about the officials?"

"That's what I'm saying. If we leave it like that, we'll have a headache."

"If we can't deal with the piling-up work, the whole country will fall into chaos."

"I heard that all the work is being handled in the Prime Minister's Office. But that can't last forever."

"Please wait a moment."

The lower nobles did not give up hope.

The temporary prime minister from the Empire was rumored to be a man whose abilities reached the heavens.

Didn't he correct public sentiment through an astonishing trial and sweep away even the vested interests that were obstructing it?

Thanks to this, there was even a story going around that the smile on Prince Crawford's face never left his face.

Now the royal prestige was properly established.

"Huh? There's a black squirrel and a white bat over there!"

The two spirits that the temporary prime minister was said to be raising had appeared.

Surprisingly, the guys were walking around the city, sticking the papers on bulletin boards.

"That's right! The job opening has finally been posted!"

"Let's go check it out quickly."

The lower nobles read the text with eyes full of anticipation.

But the content was completely different from what was expected.

"Construction notice?"

"We're going to build a new government building, so don't come near it for a few days?"

"What kind of nonsense is this?"

The National Office was the backbone of the Duchy of Crawford.

Isn't this where bureaucrats have stayed for hundreds of years and made policies for the country?

Even if taming disobedient bureaucrats was the priority, this was an excessive action.

So much so that even the lower-ranking nobles who had not received any official posts were indignant.

"Destroying the government building! Where on earth does such crazy talk come from?"

"Let's go see the elders."

"That's right! We have to stop it by protesting."

The lower-ranking nobles quickly went to the National Office.

But surprisingly, all the officials were out in a nearby tent.

At first glance, it seemed as though there was no one inside the building.

Soon, several lower-ranking nobles approached them and spoke to them.

"Hello, Inspector Shelton Nari."

"Ah, I've seen your face somewhere."

"Haha! I saw you briefly at the wedding of Marquis Soltri a while ago. I am Milo, the third son of the Oxsteins."

"I see."

"But, how did this happen?"

"Are you talking about the National Assembly?"

"Yes, there is chaos right now with the content posted on the city bulletin board."

Milo was making a fuss, but Inspector Shelton looked indifferent.

"It's too early to be surprised by something like that."

"Yes?"

"There will be something good to see, so just wait a moment."

Shelton waved his hand roughly and quickly walked away.

The lower-ranking nobles, including Milo, looked like they truly did not understand.

But it was at that very moment.

Kwung! Boom!

Something huge appeared, accompanied by a vibration that shook the axis of the earth.

A wolf-like appearance with a body made of solid stone.

He was a rock-climber who roamed beyond Mount Berkal.

People all opened their mouths in amazement at its overwhelming size and massive weight.

"Look, look over there!"

Suddenly, someone shouted, almost like a scream.

Then, all eyes were focused on the head of the rock-climber.

To their surprise, standing there was Abel Carriers, the temporary prime minister from the Empire.

He looked around with calm eyes and then gave an order without mercy.

"Take control."

Then the rock keeper swung his foreleg.

Kuhwaaang-!

No matter how sturdy the building was, it was just a pile of stones in front of this giant spirit.

The lower-ranking nobles who were watching the miserable sight screamed, clutching their heads.

"Eww! The government is collapsing!"

"The temporary prime minister has truly gone mad!"

But their cries did not last long.

That was the moment when a bright yellow beam of light burst out from the basement of the government building.

"Uh, that one?"
