But when he turned around, Lin En's heart skipped a beat, because there was an inexplicable hint of appreciation in the look in Quevedo's eyes when he looked at him on the judgement bench.

Maybe he saw it wrong...

At this time, off the court.

"Is there anything else I can do..."

When the silver-haired princess first heard these words, her heart sank.

She thought Lin had guessed the existence of this hidden side of her.

She had originally planned to self-destruct again to save Lin En.

As a result, were you protected by the other party?

But if you think about it carefully, His Highness Lin En should have something else in mind.

In other words, have I overlooked something in myself that could turn the situation around?

However, these two were the heinous criminals who stole fire and violated the ancestral teachings. Is there really any possibility of a peaceful reversal?

Hedwig fell into deep thought.

On the other hand, Behrens sneered when he saw that Lin En actually dared to go on stage alone.

If Lynn held on to Hedwig's thighs in white silk stockings, Behrens would really find it a bit tricky.

Because whether from a personal perspective or from the perspective of the prosecutor, it would be very difficult for Lin En to tie himself to Hedwig. After all, his elder sister is too popular in the kingdom, which might cause trouble, and some charges could not be established.

But since Lin En committed suicide himself, don't blame yourself.

Like to pretend?

Then I’ll grant your wish!

Behrens secretly collected a lot of negative information about Lin En.

This time I must expose your true face in front of everyone and ruin your reputation!

"Hilteria, it seems that he doesn't understand your efforts. Your efforts are doomed to be in vain."

Berens looked at the royal sister on the other side and sneered.

"Really? I think, as expected of Lynn Norton, he and I work perfectly together."

Hilteria's eyes flickered as she chuckled.

"sucker Punch."

Berens looked at the judge with disdain:

"Your Majesty, if you have no objection, I will now proceed to accuse Lynn Norton of the first crime."

"allow."

Quevedo nodded.

"it is good,"

Behrens smiled confidently, then stretched out his arms:

"For the first crime, I want to accuse Lynn Norton of interfering in the internal affairs of Fire Rose. As the crown prince of the Purple Gold Flower Norton family, he blatantly contacted various forces during his time in Fire Rose, and intended to get involved in the control of Rose City."

"Is there such a thing?"

Quevedo’s face instantly darkened.

For Quevedo, the chief arcanist of the Fire Rose Palace and the first priest of the royal family, he deeply understands the importance of Rose City to the Fire Rose Empire. It is almost the heart of the Fire Rose.

Controlling the Rose City is roughly equivalent to controlling the Fire Rose.

Quevedo paid no attention to the imperial selection, because it made no difference who was in power, as long as the emperor's last name was still Bayer.

But Quevedo couldn’t help but be concerned about Behrens’ accusations.

Because it doesn’t matter which crown prince will eventually take power, but the last person in power must not be a person from another family!

Lynn was overjoyed.

Your Highness Berens, you are amazing. You did a great job right from the start.

“I admit….”

"I object!"

Hilteria raised her hand and interrupted Lin En's confession.

"My brother, you are wrong, Your Honor, I request to call a witness for the first time."

"Allowed, need help?"

Quevedo nodded.

"No need, because everyone present here is my witness."

Hilteria shook her head and looked at everyone in the jury seat.

"Everyone present here is a talented and true elite from all walks of life in Rose City. It is no exaggeration to say that you all represent Rose City."

"Then, if anyone can prove that Lin En has any shop or any industry in Rose City, or has ever sought any benefits for Zijinhua, please speak up."

As Hilteria continued her story, everyone on the jury looked at each other, but no one could speak.

"Your Honor, my defense is over."

Seeing this, Hilteria chuckled with confidence, because silence was better than words at this moment.

"impossible!"

Berens was immediately furious.

In such a situation, he believed that no one would dare to lie, because any lie would be exposed under the spiritual perception of the Eighth Ring Arcanist.

But some time ago, after his brother Xervis was defeated, the resources that emerged made even Behrens covetous for a long time. Could it be that Lynn Norton could really resist and not touch them at all?

He immediately glared at someone in the crowd, a minister from the Empire's Ministry of Land and Finance:

"Tell me, after Xervis was defeated, who got all the assets?"

Facing the furious prince, the minister trembled and was speechless for a long time. Finally, it was Hilteria who spoke:

"Let me tell you. It's all in the hands of my sister Historia and me. Is there any problem?"

Behrens was stunned.

There's something wrong, but it also seems like there's nothing wrong.

What's the difference between it being in the hands of Hilteria and Historia and it being in the hands of Lynn Norton?

But this accusation was completely unfounded.

Since Lynn Norton has not sought any benefits for himself or any benefits and assets for his country, what basis do you have to accuse him of intending to interfere in the internal affairs of Rose City?

The one who gets the benefit is the crown prince, so this is a civil war among the crown princes, which is reasonable and logical.

"On the contrary, Berens, my brother, you are wrong. I think that because of Lynn Norton's activeness, the Crown Princes have gone from secretly attacking each other to a stalemate, which has led to a period of recuperation for everyone. He may not have meant to hurt others. You should all thank His Highness Lynn, right? Is it reasonable for you to accuse him for this?"

Hilteria looked at the jury and smiled.

There is nothing wrong with this.

After all, for people who are not in the war industry, no one does not like peace, especially the secret civil war between the crown prince of Rose City in recent years. In the beginning of the long-term civil war, there may be some smart people who can help, but as time goes on, everyone starts to consume each other and it will be a disaster.

The jury members began to murmur.

"It's like this, my family's business has indeed been much better in recent times."

"The Administration is also much more relaxed. After all, there is no need to mediate... The fights between the crown princes have reduced the trouble by almost half."

Behrens himself was silent.

As Hilteria said, not only did Lynn not take a penny, but he also stabilized the situation in Rose City, causing the business index to rebound, and even his number one supporter, the Elaite family, benefited from it.

So I have to thank him?

Lin En was also annoyed. He was just trying to win over some people's hearts and do good things for Historia at that time, but how did it become a way to whitewash himself?

No, that's not right. It was just an unexpected result.

Believe in His Highness Berens!

Lynn looked at Behrens with encouragement.

How dare he challenge me?!

Berens was about to explode with rage.

"Okay, you've fooled me through the first hurdle, but you want me to thank that guy? No way. Now I'm going to accuse Lynn Norton of the second crime!"

Berens laughed angrily. He didn't believe that Lin En could get away with this matter!

"I'm charging Lynn Norton with the murder of the Crown Prince. He murdered our brother Xervis!"

"is it?"

Quevedo remained calm, but his brows were furrowed.

Of course he had also seen Xervis. He was a very difficult child to evaluate because he hid himself too deeply. He seemed so gentle on the surface, but the ferocity in his eyes was so fiery that even a great arcanist like Quevedo, who was used to seeing all kinds of human conditions, felt uncomfortable and inevitably disliked him.

However, this does not mean that Quevedo does not care about the other party's life or death at all.

This crime is even more terrible than the previous one.

He looked at Lynn:

"Lynn Norton, do you plead guilty?"

Lin En nodded excitedly. He had indeed killed the man with his own hands, and there were enough witnesses for him to deny it.

"I admit......."

"I object!"

Hilteria interrupted Lynn again.

"You're going to object to even the facts?"

Lynn felt that Behrens had really spoken his mind.

"My brother, you are wrong again,"

Hilteria was calm and unhurried.

"I object not to the facts but to your choice of words. I want to call the witness a second time."

"allow."

Quevedo nodded again.

"I want to summon the manager of the Rose and Gold Theater, Mr. Olar. He is here."

Hilteria said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Olar stepped out from the crowd.

Although Olar himself was only a theater manager, his wife's family was considered a prominent family in Rose City. In addition, the other party was unable to move around easily due to her age and body shape, so it was reasonable for him to appear here in her place.

"Olar, can you guarantee that what you said at the trial today is fair and true?"

"Please rest assured that as an artist, I have extremely high standards for my spiritual purity, and I will not allow myself to wrongly accuse a good person."

Olar Road.

Quevedo listened, remaining calm, and at the same time, silently opened up the real perspective brought by the great arcanist's powerful mental power.

Mental fluctuations enveloped Olar, and the other party's every move, breathing, heartbeat, and even the opening and closing of skin pores were reflected in Quevedo's perception.

In this case, as long as Olar speaks the truth from his heart, any lies will be warned by Quevedo.

Not to mention, Olar is just a mortal, not even a transcendent.

"I am here today for two reasons. One is to testify for my brother, my friend, my confidant, and my best mentor, Mr. Lynn Norton. As a member of the jury at His Highness Zervis' trial, his trial of His Highness Zervis was in accordance with the imperial law, morality, and ethics, and was a reasonable trial."

Olar whispered.

It's the truth.

Quevedo made a split-second judgment.
