'The rules of the Snake Clan?'
'What does he mean?'
If he were dealt with publicly under the laws of the Empire, life imprisonment would be a certainty!
An S-Class female had accused him personally. Tonight's events were clearly a case of attempted murder on Count Gray's part!

With so many Beastmen as witnesses—
Count Gray would surely face the Empire's harshest legal punishment!
And yet, the Duke said he would handle it according to the rules of the Snake Clan?

Most of the Beastmen present were nobles, but it wasn't their place to interfere in the Duke's "family affairs."
