Fernand didn't seem to care that other Metropolitan Police officers and criminals were laughing at him from inside the Metropolitan Police.
He was always angry, but it still hurt to see him cry because he was so broken.
"I, I won't go to the casino anymore."
He went out so dignifiedly, and then he looked down on his father and left.
Only after his father could do anything for him did he lose his strength as he prayed like a child.
If he had impulsively rebelled against his father until the end, he would have let him go coolly. The Count could not help but fall into bitterness.
***
Fernand is exempt from criminal prosecution.
Odette and Charlotte. Since Count Albrecht had two purifiers, that fact no longer changed.
However, the Pope did not back down.
"How could a monster of the gods kill a High Priest?! I cannot stand idly by on this matter."
Originally, when the Transcendent was called the "God Monster," he was a paladin who belonged to the cathedral. Just as the purifier "Saintess" belonged to the cathedral as a priest.
Although the times changed and the Transcendents became attached to the Imperial Army rather than the cathedral, there were still remnants of the past.
Although it was only a ritual and a written agreement, the transcendent was to be appointed as a "soldier" with the consent of the Pope and the High Priest.
Such a Pope put pressure on him with a strong will. The remaining High Priests agreed, and Fernand was eventually stripped of his state-sanctioned Transcendent Regular Army.
Fernand's military service was declared invalid, and he was expelled from the military register, as well as his entire service record.
Fernand, who was originally suspended, has now completely lost his affiliation.
He had never served in the army.
The Pope did not stop there.
Even if Fernand is exempt from criminal punishment until now, he insisted that the family should not let it go forever.
Then he declared to the Albrecht family.
"I formally request that Fernand be stripped of the castle of Albrecht and banished from the family."
Not only the right to inherit titles and property, but also not to use the family name of the Albrecht family. Fernand had stripped the Count of all rights within the Albrecht family and demanded that he be discouraged.
It was extremely rare for the Pope to directly intervene in the affairs of the noble family.
This was because the issue of expulsion, inheritance, and succession within the family was a family affair, so it was a rule not to touch it.
However, none of the imperial citizens took it too seriously.
"The Albrecht family has neglected Fernand all the time. Fernand has an accident and hits again!"
The High Priest was murdered, and Fernand broke into the cathedral without permission.
Many imperial people still thought that the monster of the gods belonged to the Great Temple. Therefore, they could not easily forgive the death of the High Priest by the monster of the gods, who should have obeyed the Great Priest.
"If you leave it like this, I will understand that you will inherit the title to the person who killed the High Priest, and I will excommunicate the entire Albrecht family."
He would not force Fernand to give up his right to immunity from the death penalty, but he would threaten to hold the entire Count family accountable if Fernand was not formally expelled from the family.
If not, he will excommunicate the entire family in the name of the Pope.
It is a ritual excommunication against criminals or those who commit blasphemy. The excommunication that the Pope himself publicly declared had a completely different meaning.
He said that he would make the Pope the official enemy of the temple. It was no different from a "declaration of hostility." A declaration that he would equate that family with "Satan," that is, evil.
There is only one existing religion on the entire continent, including Barceha. The evidence of God's existence also exists as a purifier and a transcendental.
In such a situation, the declaration of hostility of the Pope was in fact the same as a declaration of bullying on a national or even continental level.
It was not just a disgrace to the family.
"There were rumors that I was not on good terms with High Priest Raphael, so I pinned my hopes on him."
The imperial palace, which was expected to be able to protect the Pope, was also quiet. None of the nobles cooperated with the Count.
It was understandable. The imperial palace, the military, and the cathedral all knew how stupid Fernand was. He is playing the game everywhere and paying the price of the rice paddies in a vulgar way.
"But you don't want to kill Fernand, do you?"
When he went to the Pope to complain, he said: As if to be grateful that I survived. He had drawn a line that no matter what the Pope did, he would not protect Albrecht.
How can an aristocrat who is considered "evil" by the Pope be an aristocrat?
The Pope was increasing the level of pressure every day. If it is not confirmed by the end of this week, it will even be given a final notice that it will formally announce a declaration of hostility against them.
"I can't do anything else...Fernand."
The Count felt devastated. Hr never thought that the day would come when he would have to dig up the heir from the list of nobles with his own hands.
"Promise me that you will not execute him."
The Count couldn't help but shake his head as he said that to the Pope.
***
In the end, the Count made the final decision.
"Fernand is expelled from Albrecht's list of nobles."
He submitted a document containing this to the Imperial Court.
The expulsion of a child from the list of nobles was not a simple and fast process. Usually, it had to go through a long trial, and it was approved after a very strict judgment.
However, if the Emperor and the Pope had already agreed on it, it was a different story.
On the same day that the Count submitted it to the Imperial Court, it was immediately approved.
Within hours, Fernand was officially a commoner. He has no authority over the Albrecht family.
Fernand's two murders were exempt from the death penalty because he was a minor Count of Albrecht and was a member of Odette's immediate family.
But now that he had nothing to do with Odette, Fernand was no longer free from the judgment of the law.
The whole procedure was so easy that the Count laughed. He was never in a heart, but Ulrich still had a love for his flesh and blood.
At the same time as Fernand's expulsion, he was taken from the Metropolitan Police Department's prison to a prison wagon.
He was not going to be a regular soldier, but was going to work as a janitor in the Transcendent Unit, which guarded the frontier.
It was a decision made by the Emperor to prevent Fernand from abusing his superior physical abilities.
