I Think I’m Going to be Fired (4)

Jealousy, envy, harassment.

Abnegation, apathy, don’t want to get involved even only at work. There was no end to the number of colleagues who were hostile to Riito, who had connections with the royal family and overwhelming ability and knowledge as a mage.

No, in his mind, that’s not all of it.

To begin with, he thought if he became a court mage, he would be able to study magic and plants of his choice but he never thought that there are many unrelated jobs such as lectures for guests of honor, tea parties with the princesses, and escorting royal family members.

In short, he basically joined a black company again.

The only good thing about it was that his salary was very good.

Then, one day.

Riito was working overtime when he took the task of cleaning out a storage room that no one else wanted to do and his curiosity was piqued by the unexpected finds and junk he had never seen before.

「He poisoned the duke’s tea desu!」

Finally, he was framed.

The tea of the duke, the emperor’s brother, was poisoned.

Only Riito doesn’t have an alibi.

Or rather, it was a planned stunt to denounce Riito. And the duke, who was aiming for the emperor’s throne, was an enemy of his.

Frankly speaking, he was surprised that they would go that far. He expected everyone to act like grown-up men at least. He thought about the great war and the sealing of the underground dungeon where monsters sprang out, he risked his life to live in peace….he thought he really can’t work in this kind of environment.

What will be his punishment?

Banished.

No, death penalty!

When Riito heard those things, he suddenly thought of something.

(This is…..shhhhh! Yay, I have an opportunity to be banished!)

He made a guts pose on the spot and immediately felt sorry about it. Then, the serious accusation scene that was currently ongoing turned awkward.

Being a court mage, one will not be allowed to freely resign.

In addition, he is also a brave. Another reason for them not to let him leave.

It’s true that it would be bad for a brave of the empire to leave the center of the empire. However, it was a considerably stifling situation for Riito.

He even thought that he should have never undertaken the great adventure of saving the empire.

Therefore,

He was thankful for being wrongfully accused.

In the end, he was spared from death penalty.

He protected the princess knight since they worked together in the War Against Monsters and he passionately ended the war. In addition, there is no conclusive evidence of the crime.

In the form of pardon from the emperor, death penalty was not even considered.
