With the death of the Duke Protector, the Ducal Residence was raided and confiscated. In the court today, the situation became overwhelmingly one-sided. No one spoke for the Ducal Residence anymore, and all the discussions revolved around how his crimes should be judged.
"According to the law, the Ducal Residence's crime constitutes treason, and the plan was still ongoing. This crime warrants the execution of nine generations."
"That is inappropriate. The Ducal Residence's influence has entrenched itself in the court for a century, with deeply intertwined connections to over half of the court officials. If we execute nine generations, more than half of those present here would be included among them.
The law is not without consideration for human sentiment. Such special circumstances should be handled specially. Your Majesty, I believe the nine generations can be spared; eradicating three generations would suffice."
