<h4>Chapter 805 These are your only options</h4>


    Henry looked like his world copsed the moment that he heard this.


    He looked at the count as if he was trying to figure out if he was being serious or not, but there was no mistaking it.


    The count meant every word that he said.


    As a spoiled child, the first thing that came to his mind was…


    "Father! You can''t do this to me! I''m your son, your one and only son! How can you believe an outsider over me?!" Henry started to cry in outrage and tried throwing a tantrum to get his way.


    The count''s expression turned even uglier when he heard this.


    He looked carefully at Shaka and Shadow Five before saying with a sigh, "Outsider? Do you not see the mark that they have? If you can''t even recognize this, it seems that I have raised you in vain."


    I was surprised since I didn''t expect the count to notice a detail like this.


    This was something that I had prepared just in case we needed it, but it seemed that the count was able to recognize it.


    This was the mark of Shadow Garden, the organization that still had sway over the nobles.


    This was an organization that was in charge of keeping the nobles in line by reporting directly to the king, so it was the organization that the nobles feared the most. It was just that most of them didn''t know who the members of this organization were.


    It seemed that the count had quite a bit of information that he was able to recognize this sign that I left.


    Henry didn''t stopining even after hearing what the count said.


    While he was screaming about all of this, he also looked around himself as if he was looking for anything that he could use to help him.


    Eventually, his eyes settled on one of the weapons that one of the guards was holding loosely.


    It was as if this guard had been too shocked by what was happening, that he couldn''t do his job properly.


    This was one of the guards that the count had with him.


    Seeing this, Henry decided to take a chance.


    He wanted to take the only chance that he seemed to have before it was toote.


    There wasn''t a single second where he considered the consequences that taking this chance would bring.


    He only thought of himself.


    So he broke free of Lily''s arms around him and charged at the guard that was holding his weapon in a loose grip.


    Not a single person expected this since they never thought that he would do something as dumb as this.


    He was able to make it to where the guard was and grab the sword from his hand before turning around to look at me. The way that he looked at me, it was clear that there was something that he wanted from me.


    Judging by the way that he looked at me and the way that he held this weapon, I didn''t think that he would be dumb enough…


    but it seemed like he wanted to take me hostage to escape this situation.


    I didn''t move at all even though I could see what Henry was nning to do.


    Henry''s expression twisted a bit when he saw this, as if he could see that he was being looked down on.


    This made him even more determined to charge at me with this weapon raised.


    The way that he handled the weapon made it clear that he had never fought with a weapon before, even if he had received formal training.


    So in the end…he wasn''t even able to reach me as Shaka and Shadow Five stepped forward.


    The two of them easily disarmed him and then pushed his face into the ground.


    Henry was just forced to stay there on the ground while Shaka and Shadow Five stood over him.


    He tried struggling, but there was no way that a spoiled child like him could break free of their grasps.


    So as heid there on the ground, the only thing that he could do was…


    "Mom, dad, save me!" He started crying and begging for help.


    Lily knitted her brows when she saw this and even though the count shook his head at her, she still said, "He''s still your brother inw, you should let him go and let''s talk this through."


    The way that she said this already made it clear that she was filled with hostility towards me, but I didn''t care at this point.


    Since I had prepared to do this, I wasn''t going to hold back.


    I looked at her with a calm look and said, "It''s this or he gets treated like a proper criminal. These crimes are not light, he will not escape the death sentence."


    The moment that death was mentioned, but Henry and Lily''s chins dropped and their faces turned pale.


    The count just put his hand on his head and shook it with a sigh before saying, "I''ve already said that I will strip him of his rights as the sessor, I think that this should be enough."


    I turned to look at him with narrowed eyes before saying, "Not only that, he will be exiled and sent to live on a small property while being watched. If he ever breaks his exile, he will be executed on the spot."


    The count knitted his brows when he heard this and looked like he wanted to say something, but I cut him off by speaking first.


    "Make no mistake, the crimes that he''smitted is more than enough to get him executed five times over. The fact that he''s not facing an execution on the spot is the fact that I''m protecting him."


    Then narrowing my eyes even more, I said, "Of course, it doesn''t matter to me which way this goes. You should know that at this point, this is his only option."


    The count gave a gulp when he heard this before slowly giving a nod.
