Reject me, you damn woman.

After all, who doesn’t want to have a good friend who can come to you from nowhere and take responsibility when you are in trouble?

Whether it is true or false is secondary.

After all, the criminal is a prince of another country, which sounds better than being a princess of one's own family.

Let's just play dumb together and fool people one by one.

Just when Lin En was about to doubt his life, that reliable man finally devoted himself again and tried to set things right:

"That's enough. Is this the time to talk about this?"

Behrens gritted his teeth and looked at the majestic old magician.

"Your Majesty Quevedo, since the mortal has confessed his guilt, I suggest that he be tried immediately to enforce the law. The Secret Fire is the bottom line of Fire Rose and Bayer, and no violation is allowed!"

After listening to Berens' speech, the atmosphere in the venue finally became heavy again.

The old magician came back from meditation today on purpose, wasn't it to admire the vision of the junior whom he once respected in choosing men?

What's more, for Quevedo, the Fire Rose is everything to him. For the Fire Rose, he can personally judge even the child he once blessed, not to mention the strange prince in front of him.

The ministers were silent, waiting for the old magician's decision, and Quevedo turned his inquiring eyes to the crown princes - at least on the surface, the people with the highest status here were still the noble crown princes.

Historia and Hedwig were skipped directly. Behrens had already proved his attitude, so it would mainly depend on the other crown princes.

"I agree."

Prince Roslet, who was armed to the teeth, also said so.

"I don't have any objection either."

Lin En nodded in agreement.

The plot finally makes sense!

"Who asked you?"

Behrens loudly refuted Lin En who suddenly showed up, but at the same time, a smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

The matter has been settled. For Behrens, as long as Lin can be eliminated, Historia will not be a threat. Without such a serious threat, this is the best outcome.

What's more, for Behrens, how could Lin En, an outsider, dare to touch the secret fire that only those with the bloodline of fire are qualified to touch?

What a disgrace!

This is an absolute stain not only for the Flame Family and Fire Rose, but also for the ancestors and for myself who will inherit the throne in the future.

Therefore, Lin En must wash away this shame with his own blood!

Of course, Behrens didn't believe that Linn really obtained the secret fire.

According to Behrens, Lin En's plot must have been discovered by the Fire Kings, and he escaped from the secret realm in disgrace.

As for my stupid elder sister who bet on the wrong horse and my naive younger sister, if they were really smart and sensible enough, I would give them a way out.

So, let the trial begin...

The old but majestic magician, his mental power seemed to have locked onto Lin En and the other man. The oppressive feeling of an eight-ring strong man slowly imprisoned the two of them, and he was on guard against the two of them using some means to escape.

Hedwig couldn't help but bite her teeth lightly. Although she didn't feel much pressure, she knew that it was because Lin En blocked it for her.

Is it time to reveal another side of myself that I have been hiding?

Historia was also somewhat at a loss.

Although she had always believed in Lin En, and even said that Lin En had just taken the initiative to cut ties with her, which was obviously an act of protecting her, she was also particularly moved.

However, this does not seem to wash away Hedwig and Lynn's betrayal.

Why is this so?

Obviously, one is the sister who loves him the most, and the other is his...best friend, but why is it like this when they are together?

Lin En breathed a sigh of relief. It was finally about to begin!

Now we can finally reach the reality of being ruined.

"I have an opinion!"

At this moment, a rebellious and ostentatious clear voice echoed throughout the throne room.

Everyone's movements stopped and their eyes turned to the person who spoke. It was none other than the last crown prince who had not expressed her opinion, the third princess, Hilteria!

"Hilteria, what are you going to do? You are not going to confuse public and private matters at this critical moment just because you have a close personal relationship with this guy, right?"

Berens immediately rebuked.

However, Hilteria shook her head and raised the corners of her lips:

"On the contrary, my foolish brother, I am reminding you all precisely because I can distinguish between personal grudges and the overall situation."

"Excuse me, do you still remember that His Highness Lin En gave my foolish brother the opportunity and time to defend himself before delivering the punishment he deserved, instead of just passing judgment on his own like a bunch of barbarians?"

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Berens frowned.

"I mean,"

Hilteria Road,

"Before punishing His Highness Lynn Norton, we should give him a chance to defend himself before passing judgment. After all, he did the same to my brother when he had absolute power, didn't he? Moreover, if we punish the son of the bloody red dragon on our own, I'm afraid we won't be able to give a reasonable explanation to the Red Dragon Queen."

Hilteria's words aroused the agreement of many people.

Berens frowned and looked at Quevedo:

"There is no need for that, Your Majesty, the evidence is irrefutable..."

However, he saw the old arcanist shook his head.

"Your Highness Hilteria is right. Since Your Highness Lin En has given Your Highness Zevis respect, then we should also give him enough respect, even if it is just a procedural trial process."

Quevedo waved his hand, and a pair of magic shackles were shackled on the wrists of Lynn and Hedwig:

"In that case, I declare that the temporary trial of Her Highness Lin and Hedwige...From now on, Her Highness Berens will serve as the examiner for the evidence, and Her Highness Hilteria will serve as the defense. Is that ok?"

Behrens had no choice but to nod.

There is nothing that can be done about this. After all, we still have to give face to the Red Dragon Queen.

This respect is not for Lin En, but for Zijinhua.

What's more, as Quevedo said, when there is solid evidence, it's just a matter of following procedures. What else can be done?

So long...

"I have another opinion!"

Hilteria suddenly said again.

"What's your problem?"

Berens said irritably.

What on earth do you want to do?? ! !

Lin En was also numb. A huge sense of alarm suddenly rose in his heart, and he gave the princess an inquiring look.

"I am not suitable to be the defender of sinners, because I have found someone more suitable."

She suddenly smiled mysteriously, as if asking for credit, and cast a look at Lin En.

She seemed to say again:

This time, I’ll protect you!

Chapter 223: From the Whitewashing Conference to the Ultimate Art?

Soon, under the powerful magic of the old arcanist Quevedo, a temporary court was set up between the thrones.

The difference is that, unlike the trial of the fifth prince Xervis, if the trial of Xervis was extremely poor, so that Lin En had to take up almost all the court positions, then this trial was just the opposite. Its configuration was unprecedentedly luxurious.

Its presiding judge is the most powerful and respected elder in Rose City, and the only eight-ring great arcanist, Quevedo. The prosecutor is a distinguished crown prince, the fourth prince Berens, and the members of the jury are even more heavyweights. All the nobles who came to the throne room today are witnesses of this trial.

In the eyes of those who opposed Lin En, this trial would be another humiliation to the arrogant Prince of Purple Gold Flower, letting this Dragonborn know that this was not a place where he could act recklessly.

Those who did not believe that Lynn and Hedwig would steal the fire, and their supporters, saw it as a shame...but the last chance for a comeback.

Everyone was very satisfied with this public trial and believed that it would definitely lead to a fair and just outcome that would satisfy everyone.

As for the only person who is dissatisfied with the trial, it may be the person being tried, Lynn himself.

Why are you Fire Roses so fussy and troublesome? Even with irresistible evidence, you still want to hold a trial full of formalism, which makes Historia lose confidence.

If someone dared to lay hands on the national treasure of Purple Gold Flower, Lynn would have asked Quinn to bring Shadow Knight to kill his entire family. These people were so hesitant that they even hesitated to charge themselves with a crime.

At this time, Quevedo, who was serving as the judge, said:

"Then please...the defendant please step forward."

As the old arcanist said this, he looked at the silver-haired princess, who was now different from the one he remembered. Her appearance had become graceful and elegant, and his tone became suppressed and heavy.

As the eldest member of the royal family, although Quevedo rarely appears in public, he has feelings for these princes and princesses whose maternal lines are not very powerful.

After all, at the invitation of the old king, for these children who did not have a strong maternal family, the first elder they baptized and blessed was Quevedo.

In the eyes of the lonely old wizard who has no relatives, perhaps these children are like his own granddaughters and grandsons in some sense.

However, due to his special status, he was not only unable to give her shelter, but had to personally judge her.

Even, let her stand on the steps of trial and be humiliated.

"Your Highness Lin En, let's go."

Hedwig had no objection to this. Rather, she thought that having a chance to defend herself was much better than she had expected.

However, Lin En took a half step forward and said seriously:

"Your Highness, please stay here for a moment. I am the only one who can stand trial."

"How is this possible?"

Hedwig was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said:

"This is a sin we committed together. How can I let you bear it alone?"

"This is not something I have to bear alone,"

Lynn shook her head.

"A princess should be tried in her own way. This is your country. Since you are doing what you believe is right, you should not be insulted here."

"If sacrificing my innocence will bring this to an end, then sacrifice me."

He paused,

"Compared to these, you just need to do what you are supposed to do."

After saying that, Lynn turned around and walked to the trial seat alone.

What Hedwig can do is so important and so crucial.

She would be a great help if she just stood here and did nothing.

Are you kidding? Lynn would let Hedwig stand trial with her?

This is not about sympathy for women or anything. Do you really think you didn't see the expression of guilt and regret on Old Deng's face when he looked at Hedwig at the judge's seat?

I'm desperate. I'm really desperate about this Fire Rose that only has Hedwig and Twisted Sea as fans.

In ancient times, there was the Purple Gold Flower Lily who ruled the country with her perseverance, and now there is the Fire Rose Hedwig who built the country with her cooking power, right?

If he goes on stage and pleads guilty without thinking, he will be safe. If he lets Hedwig be tried with him, there is no guarantee that the jurors and judges will not be biased towards his side. In addition, with other sea chefs like Alicja present, what if something goes wrong and His Highness Berens' efforts are in vain?

Of course, Lynn had to prevent this kind of thing from happening at the root.

"Your Highness Lin En, are you sure you want to stand trial alone?"

Quevedo, who was sitting on the judge's seat, narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

"Even if this makes your situation even more serious, you self-talking prince."

Lin En sneered:

"Your Excellency the Judge could just sentence me alone."
