Lord: Taken away from inheritance at the beginning.

The first thing the noble assembly did was to try Crown Prince Garet, who had murdered his father, and the first step was for the parties involved to tell their own stories.

For this reason, in addition to the nobles present, the knights who had witnessed the assassination that night also came to the banquet hall as witnesses and recounted what they had seen and heard one by one.

It is obvious that in this statement, Ronin had no suspicion at all, especially the statement of Broll, the first person at the scene, which exposed Garrett's conspiracy.

It took more than an hour for everyone to complete the presentation process, and the next step was for the nobles to express their opinions on what kind of punishment Garrett should receive for patricide.

It was a lively session, with voices rising and falling in the banquet hall and even quarrels breaking out.

The nobles had mixed opinions. Some advocated severe punishment and capital punishment to commemorate the deceased Majesty.

Some thought that he should be treated leniently, after all, Garrett was his majesty's only male bloodline and should not be given up easily;

Others suggested finding a woman to have a child with Garet, then executing Garet and letting his child inherit the throne, so that both parties would be satisfied.

Speaking of which, it is indeed a bit strange that Garrett has had many women but still has no children in his thirties.

Luo Ning couldn't help but wonder if the other party was infertile?

"Everyone!"

Rulans stood up. His voice was so loud that the hall fell silent as soon as he appeared.

Marquis of Thunder had been famous for a long time, and even the nobles in remote areas of the kingdom had heard of him.

"In all the years since the establishment of the Kingdom of Alduin, no one has ever committed such an unforgivable crime as the Crown Prince. He not only abandoned his father and homeland, but also abandoned his identity as a human race."

"The key is that this person has great power, comparable to the best person under the legend. If we let him go easily, if he escapes our surveillance, who will be killed by his sword like Philemon?"

Lu Lans gave his suggestion: "So, I think he should be sentenced to death!"

The whole audience fell into a brief silence, but soon, the nobles who supported the death penalty spoke out and responded to Rulans' opinion.

Some who were originally wavering gradually made their decisions after seeing the Marquis of the kingdom, especially after the old nobleman, Grandpa Roning, expressed his opinions.

"death penalty!"

"death penalty!"

"death penalty!"

The voices in the hall gradually became unified.

Next, the kingdom's high nobles also expressed their opinions.

Fasleigh: "I second the motion!"

Arsenault: "Second!"

"I abstain." Gu Shan sighed. He and Garrett had worked together for many years and had some friendship. It was hard for him to agree to execute the other party.

However, he also knew that the crime Garrett committed was too serious to be given a light sentence, so he had to abstain.

Count Iben raised his hand. He was about to second the motion, but after looking at Sharon, he changed his words and said, "I... object!"

Such a statement was somewhat surprising, but when people looked at the couple, they probably thought that Ibn made such a statement for the sake of marital harmony.

After all, no matter what, the other party is still Sharon's younger brother.

Now, only two dukes, Vargis and Ronin, are left.

Vargis raised his hand: "My daughter Dana and grandson died at the hands of the aliens in Moonlight Valley. I hate aliens very much, so I agree!"

Everyone's eyes turned to Roning.

If this person also agrees, Garrett will probably not be able to escape the death penalty.

I just don’t know if Roning will object like Iben because of Blanche’s existence?

Blanche glanced at Roning, who had indeed asked for her opinion.

This experience made her hate Garrett, but Sharon's persuasion made her waver.

So in the end, she decided to leave it all to Roning, and she would support him no matter what he chose to do.

Ronin raised his hand. "Like Gushan, Iben, and many other nobles, I am also against the death penalty."

As soon as these words were spoken, chaotic conversations suddenly broke out in the banquet hall.

Many people were surprised by such a statement. After all, in their opinion, Lulans’ attitude should be the same as Luo Ning’s attitude. How come the statements of these two people were inconsistent?

Especially those nobles who had communicated with Lu Lans before, their faces were filled with surprise and confusion.

"Your Excellency, may I ask, what is your reason for objection?"

A noble stood up and asked, "What Garrett did was not only to control the entire country, but also to target you. He even almost killed the pregnant Duchess. Such a person does not deserve your forgiveness!"

"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke!"

Many people felt sorry for Roning.

Iben felt a little emotional when he saw this scene. Unknowingly, Roning had influenced many people.

After all, this is not a purely aristocratic world, and extraordinary power is enough to influence many things.

This aristocratic meeting should have been a battle for the right to speak among various forces, but in reality, many people seemed to have already made their choice in their hearts.

Roning stood up and explained, "I have no intention of forgiving Garrett's crime. I just hope that he can kneel down in front of His Majesty's grave and repent. It's a pity that he is crazy now and can't even hear what people say clearly..."

He paused, "My proposal is to sentence Garrett to life imprisonment, deprive him of all political rights and noble status, abolish his cultivation, and at the same time make his crimes public so that everyone across the country will know about it."

"At the same time, we need to seek out a famous doctor to cure his madness. Once he recovers and confesses in front of His Majesty's tomb, we will then judge him when he is sober!"

Luo Ning looked around and said, "Killing a madman is meaningless. Only by making him repent can the dead truly rest in peace and the living be comforted."

The nobles looked at each other, and the discussions gradually died down.

Ronin's proposal not only embodies severe condemnation of Garrett's crimes, but also retains a glimmer of humanity.

Moreover, he did not mean that Garrett would not be punished, but that the punishment would be placed when the latter was sober.

If Garrett remained unconscious, he would remain imprisoned, and he would not be able to do anything as he was crazy;

If Garrett wakes up, we can just hold a meeting and make a decision.

Gu Shan stood up and applauded. He said admiringly: "I am not good at speaking, and I can't say these words, but what you said is exactly what I want to say. I support your proposal!"

"Your Excellency the Duke's proposal not only demonstrates the persistence of justice, but also reflects the respect for life. I also support it!"

Vargis also nodded. "Indeed, letting a person who has lost his mind suffer the punishment of death may not really calm our anger and grief. Letting him face his crimes after he wakes up is a more profound punishment."

Iben also stood up and applauded. Compared with his objection, Ronin's argument was more convincing.

He had to admit that he was not as good as the other party.

Lu Lans also stood up and applauded with a smile. The reason why he was the first to jump out and express his opinion was actually to pave the way for Luo Ning.

Whether the latter directly agrees with the death penalty or has other ideas is easy to say.

Roning accepted the praise from all parties with a smile. He could see that his approach had unified everyone's stance.

This is the right to speak.

As long as this decision is supported, his statement will be crucial to many subsequent decisions.

Not a king, but his commands are no different from those of a kingdom.

Just like that, all the nobles in the banquet hall applauded and supported Ronin's statement, and Garrett's fate was settled.

However, this noble meeting did not end here. Instead, the highlight was yet to come.

"Next, let's talk about who should lead the Kingdom of Alduin!"
