Wow.
Either this guy is a great warrior or these assassins are amateurs.

So I have a great omake idea that me and my bro came up with that was too good to pass up.
Vasily in the Natsuverse as whatever class you want fighting in the holy grail war.
Edit: what is on the omake list:
The Holy Grail War: Vasily was expecting a nice peaceful afterlife after all the trials that occurred in his life. He did not expect to be summoned to fight in a magical death tournament. And he really did not expect magic to exist either but that was the least of his worries. Where is Zima?!

Noble Phantasms
The Council of Rus - Heroic Ensemble:Anti-Army/Unit Noble Phantasm: EX Intimately tied with his legend are Vasily's Council, each worthy of their own myths. Can summon his council, each a Heroic Spirit with skills and Noble Phantasms.
Ride of the Cossacks - Army of the Rus: Anti-Army/Unit Noble Phantasm: B The combined army of Vasily as was commanded in his time as General of The Empire in Eastern Europe. It can be manifested at any number, from a handful of soldiers up to the soldiers of all Eastern Europe.

They all possess C-rank Independent Action, capable of one day of existence without mana from Vasily.

The requirements for this Noble Phantasm are unknown, even to him.
Logic of Earth - Theumaterical Void: Anti-Thaumaturgy Noble Phantasm: EX As a man from a world with no magic or religion, the existence of such is an impossibility to his mind. Thus, through the Grail's power, this logic is temporarily imposed on the world around him, sometimes unconsciously. As he becomes more familiar with his other noble Phastasms and magic, this Phantasm will degrade in effectiveness until eventually becoming unusable.

The Emperor is on our side as is the Order Dracul. That should be a nasty surprise for those Polish dogs.

So what exactly does Imperial Aberration do? Does the Emperor call on the Prince of Poland and demand he explain his actions? Is there a session of the House of Lords? Does the Emperor sit Vasily and the Polish Prince down and moderate?

All three actually.
Edit: To answer your question, The polish prince is called in to explain himself, And if the emperor deems it enough to warrant a case, he brings it to court (or in this case the House of Lords) to settle the dispute legally. If nothing is deemed wrong, the proclamation stands. If something is wrong, it is reversed and the person who did it is severely punished.

Do we need to attend the whole proceedings or just at the punishment part?

This empire seems awfully democratic for feudal Europe.
