"Your crimes..."
The Alliance Emperor sat on the throne, his blue eyes fixed on Richard, his lips moved.
"First, in the territory of Shalin, you acted recklessly, establishing your own dominion and disregarding the Alliance.
"Second, a Judgment Court member was killed in your territory, and you shielded the murderer, ignoring the law.
"Third, since my ascension, many dissidents have been secretly causing various disruptions, and you have numerous ties with them, disregarding imperial authority.
"All of the above amounts to treason!"
This is really hitting the mark... Richard blinked once after listening and thought... I have to say, the Alliance Emperor did not fabricate false charges; the situations pointed out are essentially factual.
However, crimes are just words. If pursued, they're always present; if ignored, they can be completely overlooked.
And now, with the Alliance Emperor so clearly pointing them out, it is undoubtedly the former.
