Path of Light.

Chapter 909 909. Loud Slap
Claire's home is located in the aristocratic area in the center of Castletown. The woodlands here are almost all indigo trees that have been growing for thousands of years. The Silver Moon Elves have carved a big gate out of these trees, with open steps in front of the gate.

There are some exquisite stone carvings on both sides of the steps, and some shrub flower beds in the woods. Spots of sunlight shine through the dense branches onto the open spaces in the woods, and light beams appear as hexagonal sequins in the air.

Moira walked up the steps alone, raised her hand to the knocker, and knocked nervously.

The wooden door opened and a Silver Moon Elf waiter stood at the door. He looked at the young Moira with some curiosity.

The Silver Moon Elf waiter said to Moira calmly:
"Miss Elf, what can I do for you?"

Moira looked at the Silvermoon Elf waiter and took off a necklace from her neck. She showed the necklace pendant to the Silvermoon Elf waiter.

The front pattern of the pendant is a valley filled with morning mist, and an elf with wings on its back flies out of the valley.

The back of the pendant looks like a seal, engraved with the Elf name "Wagner".

"I'm here to visit Wagner Clare,"

The Silvermoon Elf waiter took a look at the pendant and said to Moira:
"Please come in and sit here for a while. I will report to Master Claire right away."

As he spoke, the Silver Moon Elf waiter brought Moira to a room close to the door. The room was not big, with a small wooden table and two chairs inside. The mural on the wall was the enlarged one on the front of the badge...

Moira sat quietly in the chair, not looking around out of curiosity.

The Silver Moon Elf waiter turned and walked out.

At this time, Leia, who was hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but ask Moira:
"Will he meet us?"

Moira nodded and said with great certainty:

"As long as he is at home, he will come out to see us."

Leah said nothing more.

The room immediately became quiet...

Not long after, Claire ran in from outside almost panting.

He was wearing an elegant robe, his hair was a little messy, and when he saw Moira he asked:
"Moira, why is it you? Where's Roy?"

Claire's face was a little too feminine. Without any modification, it was actually more beautiful than most Silver Moon Elf girls. He would usually make himself look more heroic when he went out.

Among the Silvermoon elves, it is also common for boys to have feminine appearances.

Moira rose from her chair and said to Clare:

"Claire, Roy has just been captured by the Silver Moon Elf Guards of the Inquisition. I don't know who to look for, so I came here to see if you have any good ideas."

Claire sat at the table across from Moira and asked across the small table:

"Tell me slowly what happened."

Moira repeated what Leah had told her.

Claire frowned, listened carefully, and occasionally asked for some details.

Finally, Claire sat there in deep thought for a long time. He held the teacup and put the mouth of the cup to his nose and sniffed it slowly. Finally, the teacup stopped steaming...

After a long while, Claire raised his head with a complicated look on his face. He said to Moira:

"Well, Roy is not such an impulsive person. I know his character best."

"He was so reckless this time. I guess he wanted to see the attitude of the Silver Moon Elves towards the half-blood elves, including officials, nobles and civilians."

At this point, Claire paused.

"Don't worry! I will ask someone to rescue him from the court as soon as possible." Claire added.

Moira hesitated.

She wanted to say thank you, but then she felt that saying "thank you" would make the relationship between them seem more distant, so she swallowed the words back.

Claire hesitated for a moment, then lowered her voice and said:
"In fact, even if I do this, he will still find a way out."

"This time he just wanted to tear off the last fig leaf between the Silver Moon elves and the Half-Blood elves, and let the Half-Blood elves see the true faces of some Silver Moon elves."

Moira was greatly surprised, her eyes widened like purple grapes, and she asked with her mouth covered:
"You mean he did all these things on purpose?"

Claire replied in a low voice:
"Of course, he just wanted to make a big fuss about this matter and use his experience to warn all half-blood elves."

He held up a finger and continued:
"First, he was sending a message to the half-blood elves: the imperial merchants at the port are all liars and cannot be trusted."

"Secondly, he wants all the half-blood elves to be aware of the inner thoughts of all the Silver Moon elves in the kingdom and how they view the half-blood elves..."

Moira was a little dumbfounded. She didn't expect that Claire could guess some of Roy's plans based on the information she told her orally, but she couldn't be sure how much of what Claire said was consistent with Roy's thoughts.

"How about this, let's meet with Roy first and listen to his ideas."

Claire thought Moira might not believe what he said, so she said.

Sure enough, Moira agreed readily:

"Ah."

Claire stood up, walked to the door of the room, and said to the Silver Moon Elf Butler who was guarding the door:
"Brooks, go get me a carriage. I want to go out now!"

The Silver Moon Elf Butler standing outside the door immediately said:
"Master, you have a very important performance tonight. You should prepare for the performance now and perform on time. As for other things, you should leave them for tomorrow morning."

Claire didn't even look at the old housekeeper, turned around and walked back to the room, saying as she walked:
"Go arrange for the carriage."

The old butler stopped talking and agreed expressionlessly:

"I'll do it for you right away!"

……

Moira sat in the carriage, with Leah crouching beside her legs.

The Silver Moon Elves' silver carriage looked luxurious, but the interior space could only accommodate four elves. Claire sat opposite Moira.

Along the way, Claire kept asking about Roy's situation. When she heard that Roy had settled down on Kui Island with the half-elf, she was happy with everyone else.

He also said that he must visit Kui Island if he has the chance...

Judging from his expression, he didn't seem to be worried about Roy at all.

The silver carriage soon arrived next to another big tree. In the upper city area, each big tree was a manor of the Silver Moon Elves.

Claire got off the car alone and came to the door of the big tree. He knocked on the door first. A Silver Moon Elf waiter opened the door. Without even notifying, he followed the Silver Moon Elf waiter in.

Then the door was closed by the waiter.

Not long after, Claire and a Silver Moon Elf noble came out one after another.

The Silver Moon Elf did not board Claire's carriage, but boarded a silver carriage behind alone...

Claire then visited the second and third Silver Moon Elf nobles, who followed Claire in carriages alone. Afterwards, the four carriages headed to the Court of Inquisition together.

Claire sat in the carriage and whispered to Moira:
"The first person I asked just now was my teacher, Dean Bernitans. He is the dean of the Castletown Elf Academy Music School and is quite influential in Castletown."

"The two behind are the jury members of the court. They have quite a few connections in the court..."

"If Roy doesn't have any other ideas, I can just bail him out this time."

Moira nodded. This time she understood the meaning of Claire's words.

That is, after Roy is released on bail from the court, he must find a chance to leave Castletown.

……

Four carriages stopped at the door of the court, and Claire was the first to get off.

Moira followed Claire silently, looking like a maid.

When Dean Bernitans saw Moira, he felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who she was.

The other two jury members didn't even look at Moira, and walked straight into the courtroom, followed by Claire and Dean Bernitans...

The four of them filed into the courtroom, originally intending to go inside and inquire about Roy's situation.

As the group passed the door of Interrogation Room No. 6, they heard an elf inside saying:

"As for you, Boss Roy, we don't even need to ask you any questions before we can send you to the trial stand..."

Claire stopped walking and turned her head to look inside. She happened to see Roy, whose hands and feet were bound by shackles. He leaned back to avoid Baron Alves's approach...

"Baron Alvis, what did you just say?"

"As an executive officer of the Tribunal, you should abide by the principles of justice, mercy, honesty and trustworthiness."

"You should be fair to any prisoner. If you don't know what law he has violated, why do you want to send him to the trial?"

A jury member took the initiative to stand up and questioned Baron Alvis.

At this time, Claire and Moira also slipped into interrogation room No. 6 and saw Roy with his hands and feet tightly handcuffed.

Claire gave Roy a questioning look, and he responded with a 'everything is fine' gesture.

"Just because he's Boss Roy? He sent your brother, Lord Alvis, to the Buenos Aires Tribunal. Now, you want to send him to the Castletown Tribunal as well. This is an obvious and naked act of revenge. I want to protest to the presiding judge in the Tribunal."

the jury member chattered on.

Baron Alvis blushed for a moment and didn't even know how to respond.

Roy finally figured out at this time that this Baron Alvis was actually Lord Alvis's younger brother...

……

In fact, when Leah and Claire arrived at the Tribunal, they saw some half-elves standing outside the Tribunal.

Although they did not make a loud noise, they asked the staff in the court about Roy's situation.

Now Boss Roy appeared in Castletown Harbor and exposed those imperial merchants as slave traders on the spot.

Under the pretext of cooperating with Boss Roy, they tricked the half-blood elves onto the ship and then transported them away from the Elf Continent...

The truth of the matter came to light, and the half-blood elves at the port dock were in an uproar.

The half-blood elves of course know best whether Boss Roy is redeeming the half-blood elves or a slave trader.

You were clearly fighting against the slave traders, but you didn't arrest them. Instead, you arrested Boss Roy. This is simply deliberate revenge...

Then the half-blood elves at the port dock heard that the elf guards took Roy back to the guardhouse to find out what happened. Everyone was looking forward to finding out about the imperial merchants after Boss Roy came out...

After all, it involves the trade of half-elf slaves.

But everyone waited for a long time and no one saw Boss Roy until a half-blood elf got some inside information from the guard station, saying that Boss Roy was sent to the Inquisition by the Silver Moon Elf Guards.

The half-blood elves at the entire port dock were instantly shocked.

A large group of half-blood elves organized themselves and rushed to the outside of the Court of Inquiry in Castletown City to inquire about the situation of their boss Roy.

I heard that the court accused Boss Roy and the Empire Merchants of colluding to deceive and traffic in half-blood elves...

The Inquisition's argument is that some unscrupulous Imperial businessmen colluded with Boss Roy to harm the half-blood elves.

A group of half-blood elves were all laughing in anger.
The half-blood elves said:
"As long as you, the Silver Moon Elves, send out your army and capture all those imperial merchants and merchant ships, and then ask them casually, wouldn't you know the truth?"

"We will contact the 17th Silver Pegasus Corps now. Boss Roy was originally an officer of theirs. I believe they are willing to clear Boss Roy of suspicion."

For a moment, there was chaos outside the courtroom.

A large number of half-blood elves gathered here, and Miss Tiffany, Miss Nania, and Miss Abisenfan were actually mixed in with these half-blood elves.

The three of them were originally strolling in the magic district. When they saw a large number of half-blood elves gathering here, they followed the half-blood elves and walked over.

Hearing that Roy was captured by the local Silver Moon Elf Guards, Nania and Miss Abisenfan were also very shocked...

I don’t understand... Everything was fine before, why was he arrested?

Miss Tiffany also happened to see Claire and several Silver Moon elves walking into the Trial Chamber at this time, and Moira was actually mixed in...

Miss Tiffany stood beside Miss Nania and explained to them in a low voice:
"I think Boss Roy wants to use his own personal experience to tell us how unreasonable these Silver Moon Elves are and how dangerous Castletown City is..."

……

In interrogation room No. 6, Claire and Dean Bernitans stood at the door, listening to the jury member constantly questioning Baron Alvis.

The jury member blushed, and acted as if the matter would not end until Baron Alvis explained clearly...

At present, not only inside the courtroom, but also outside the courtroom is in chaos.

The deputy chief judge who had already fled appeared again in interrogation room No. 6. With a dark face, he walked directly to Baron Alvis and said in a deep voice:

"The evidence we have now is not sufficient, Alvis, go and arrange for someone to release Boss Roy..."

Baron Alvis, who had already become angry and humiliated, stared at the deputy chief judge and had no choice but to agree.

Then he personally uncuffed Roy and uncuffed his feet...

Due to insufficient evidence, Boss Roy was released from trial on the same day.

Claire stood at the door and saw Roy coming out of the interrogation room. She raised her arm and slapped Roy...

'Snapped'

The applause was loud, like a hard slap in the face of Baron Alvis.
