Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

Does that mean her duel with Luna still counts?

Defend Marcellus? Impossible. She wouldn't do such a thing; she wouldn't defend someone who has committed heinous crimes.

Moreover, her so-called "duel" was nothing more than playing part of a dramatic divine role.

She knew that Luna had found the truth, and what the audience perceived as a "duel" was nothing more than another act for her.

"Lady Funina."

At that moment, she heard Luna's voice.

“As I said, I refuse to duel with you, and my becoming Mr. Linney and Miss Linette’s defense attorney is not because I want to accept your invitation to duel.”

"There is a defense for every accusation, nothing more."

There was never any real showdown from the beginning.

Although it's supposed to be acting, ... she said such a long thing, isn't that the same as not saying anything at all?

But this way, there's no need for any troublesome duels, which is great.

If they really face off in court, then when they meet again afterward, even if Luna isn't embarrassed, she will be.

Funina crossed her arms and gave a soft snort: "You're as rude as ever."

"Alright, since you might be able to solve the mystery of the serial disappearances of girls, I, Fucaros, on behalf of all the audience, will allow you to perform to your heart's content on this stage!"

After saying that, she quickly returned to her seat in the audience.

That's comfortable. This seat is really nice.

Clarin said softly, "In a sense, it can also be considered Lady Frinina's failure."

After all, her invitation was completely rejected.

“I...I know…” Funina whispered.

The audience, of course, didn't care.

Is there going to be a good show? Then they can raise both hands and feet in approval.

Marcel seemed somewhat taken aback, but the bandages made it impossible to see his expression.

“Navia, have you and your friend misunderstood something?” He slowly walked to the seat of the accused, his tone calm.

"But that's understandable, you've always been impulsive and prone to acting on emotions..."

Navia was secretly passing a clue to Luna. Upon hearing this, she moved her mouth away from Luna's ear and looked directly at Marcellus:

“I don’t deny that, but I have Lulu with me now! She’ll pull me back before I go too far.”

"This is what a partner is all about!"

Lynette: "........."

The cat ears folded back.

Linni whispered, "If we're talking about impulsiveness, the old Luna was the real impulsive one."

Catch the weapon by hand, never give up until all enemies are defeated, and directly use the Evil Eye...

Despite her current elegance and mystery, she probably hasn't changed much at heart.

Lynette nodded slightly, agreeing with her brother's statement.

Of course, no one else could hear the conversation between the brother and sister.

Luna had already learned the general information from Navia, which was enough to dispel any doubts.

"I don't think Mr. Marceller would understand."

Luna spoke softly; she needed to confirm something.

"—After all, your partner and lover has already been dissolved."

Dissolve?

"What does 'dissolve' mean? Does it turn into a puddle of water?"

"Great! That's my favorite kind of pre-battle trash talk!"

"Lover-chan?"

Marcellus said in a low voice, "What are you talking about? I've never had a lover."

Confirmation complete.

This guy… Luna narrowed her eyes, then smiled and said, “I’ve digressed a bit, please don’t mind. Lord Vilette, please announce the start of the trial.”

Navelette nodded.

"Let's begin our defenses."

Luna smiled and said, "Let's start with the 'Injustice of the Carles Case'."

"Three years ago, Carles Casapa was accused of murdering his friend Jacques. He chose to use a duel to clear his name, but ultimately died by the sword of Miss Clorind, the dueling agent."

"The decisive point of contention is the sound of gunfire."

Luna held up two fingers.

"Those at the manor at the time claimed to have heard two gunshots, but no second gun was found at the time."

"Mr. Carres did not contest the charge."

Marcellus nodded: "I rushed out with Navia back then, Navia, don't you remember? Besides, Mr. Carles is my benefactor."

He spread his hands.

“I had no motive to kill him, and besides, I have an alibi. Everyone at the banquet can testify to that.”

Alibi?

Indeed, this is the most useful way to prove one's innocence.

Luna smiled and said, "Yes, the people at the banquet can testify for you—you went up to the second floor before the gunshots rang out."

Just as Marcel was about to retort, Luna slammed her hand on the railing.

"No trace of your involvement in the crime? It's simple, because you weren't the one who committed the crime!"

Navia replied seriously, "You sent a third party to interfere between Father and Jacques."

She held up one finger: "The first shot was fired by a third party, hitting Jacques."

She then held up her second finger: "The second shot was fired when Dad took the gun and killed the third person!"

Marcellus shook his head: "Are you playing a deduction game? The security team hasn't found any trace of a third party. The third party you're talking about simply doesn't exist."

"The reason I went to the second floor was simply because I wanted to rest for a while, after all, I'm getting old."

The audience nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's wishful thinking."

"The security team all said they don't have any left."

But when they looked at the scales of the oracle, they found that the scales were not tilted to either side.

Moreover, Funina was unusually quiet.

Shouldn't Lady Funina offer some insightful commentary at a time like this?

Why is it so quiet?

Little did she know, Furina had already heard this reasoning once. She understood the whole process and already knew what the outcome of the case would be.

The ending of the story was already decided; all she needed to do was witness it to the end as the "Goddess of Justice."

Luna and Navia exchanged a glance and nodded.

"Lord Navelette, I request to present evidence!"

Luna pulled down her hat: "Show me the waters of the Primordial Sea of ​​the Dead, the tears of a maiden, and... Les."

These artifacts were certainly kept by Navigette herself.

Because the credibility of the Court of Justice is now extremely low. It's impossible that Villette hadn't noticed this.

Sure enough, Navelette nodded and said, "Then I will bring the evidence over. Please wait a moment."

After a while.

Navelette placed a jar of primordial sea water on the pedestal, followed by the Maiden's Tears and Les.

"A maiden's tears!? Wasn't it stolen by the phantom thief, White Cat?"

"What is this strange-looking water?"

"My God, it's Les again!?"

The audience was talking a lot.

Marcel calmly replied, "A maiden's tears? I thought the phantom thief White Cat wasn't planning to return it. But what do these three pieces of evidence prove?"

Luna looked at Funina.

A complex expression flashed across Funina's face; the news that a person had been dissolved would definitely cause panic if it got out.

However, the murderer cannot be allowed to go unpunished.

Funina nodded slightly: "Speak. Tell the world the truth you have seen, and I, Fukaros, will allow you to do so."

“Of course.” Luna nodded.

This order will be given to Navia.

Navia smiled in response: "Lulu is always so thoughtful, then I'll gladly accept your offer..."

She raised her hand and pointed at Navelette.

"Lady Navelette, please stand on the witness stand and tell everyone the truth about the waters of the Primordial Sea of ​​the Womb and the Tears of the Maiden."

Not for anything else.
