"It is an honor to see you again, Your Majesty."
On the other side of the hall after a while, in the direction where the Thousand Fingered Crane had disappeared from the pull-down, the figure belonging to Tristan appeared in the eyes of everyone, accompanied by two imperial royal guards, and said solemnly to Emperor Derainier above the high platform with a gradual bowing bowing gesture: "Is there anything you can help with?" β
"Do you know these adventurers behind you?"
The majestic voice then continued to raise in Duan Qing's ears, and at the same time guided the middle-aged man's eyes to Duan Qing's face: "These people are the important participants in the Tanzanian City incident that you once mentioned?" β
"That's right." Nodding his head, Tristan winked at Duan Qing and Xue Lingphantom Bing: "But only these two I am familiar with, the remaining two......"
"In the previous report of His Royal Highness the Prince, there were indeed only two people in the Qingling Adventure Group who had become his candidate guards." Calderra, the prime minister, who had made a gesture forward, immediately replied: "According to His Royal Highness, these two were also the key figures in the chaos that occurred in Tanzania on that day and the subsequent existence on Judgment Day. β
ββ¦β¦β
I don't know if he was thinking about any important issues or re-observing the two so-called key figures, the figure of the emperor sitting on the throne of the high platform had no voice of his own for the time being, and Tristan, who had put away his salute movements, straightened up again without restraint, and looked at Duan Qing's face with a smile: "Look, I said I would help you, right?" β
"That's going to have to work." Duan Qing pulled out a few wry smiles: "The current situation has become very bad......
"It doesn't matter, it's all the result of the calculations of this group of nobles." Looking around at the other nobles here with fearless eyes, Tristan, who was holding his hands behind his back, shook his head and said, "But I'm different, I don't have so much to do with the imperial nobles here. β
"Since His Majesty the Emperor has passed my deliberation before, it should naturally be able to pass yours." He looked back at the other players around Duan Qing with a kind smile: "The rest of the things ......"
"It's up to you how much you're willing to keep."
"Your Majesty."
It seemed that he couldn't stand the maverick actions and remarks of Tristan, and the old prime minister standing on the high platform once again let out his old voice: "Even if the innocence of His Excellency Tristan has been confirmed, we can't conclude that these adventurers are also innocent based on it, after all, they are the masterminds of the Tanzanian City incident, and when Romlia arrived in the city, the incident was already over." β
"Didn't I say it a long time ago, and my tardiness was also the result of premeditation." Tristan, who was standing in the audience, continued to speak without hesitation: "His Royal Highness Prince Chris, who used all kinds of strange reasons to obstruct us, blocked our group on the banks of the Gemenan River for dozens of days, and in the end, he actually took advantage of this situation to blame the nobles of Tanzania Cityββ"
"All right, Your Excellency Tristan." Raising his hand to stop the unfinished words, the richly dressed Chancellor of the Exchequer, Field Pamuel, who was standing next to the Prime Minister, suddenly raised his voice and said: "We have already discussed these issues at your trial, and there is no need to bring them up again now, the key to the matter is ......"
"The people behind them are not the restorationists." His fat fingers, which were wearing several rings, pointed straight at Duan Qing's face: "Are they the people who attacked him as His Royal Highness said?" β
"Since you all think that the charges of indiscriminate placement are the fault of His Royal Highness the Prince, then you should also be able to conclude that the battle that took place near the east gate of Tanzania City that last burned into the city was the result of His Royal Highness's self-directed and self-staged performance, right?"
Putting away his impassioned expression, Tristan, who saluted again at the top, turned to face the other nobles present: "His Royal Highness put the charge of 'imperial moth' on the heads of the nobles of Tanzania, and originally planned to use that incident to wipe out the nobles of Tanzania City - this is the intention you can imagine, right?" β
"You, you're blaming the prince!" In the sound of the imperial nobles standing in the main hall gasping in unison, the fat aristocratic man who had been in charge of accusing Duan Qing and the others before bit his tongue and warned: "His Majesty the Emperor is in front of you, please pay attention to your tone!" β
"I'm just stating my previous conclusions." Tristan spread his hands unconcernedly: "My deductions and speculations haven't been said yet." β
"Oh?" Marshal Red, who was standing on the other side above, stared at Tristan's face with an inexplicable gaze: "Then I want to hear it, what other speculations do you have about the returned imperial noble?" β
"My speculation is actually quite simple."
Pointing to his chest, Tristan turned to face the high platform above: "In order to deal with the local aristocratic forces, or to solve some more difficult enemy, His Royal Highness the prince should prepare a plan that is far more than that, for example, they can make the crime of plotting to murder our imperial noble group a reality, or create the illusion of some more serious crime......
"You, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?"
"I'm not speculating, after all, I was also a member of the Returned Noble Regiment at the time."
Glaring back at the finger of the nobleman who had spoken out again, Tristan said in a heavy voice: "If I hadn't sensed some signs of danger, why would I risk rebelling against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and lead people back in advance?" β
ββ¦β¦ Do you mean to say that His Royal Highness Prince Chris, at that time, was already trying against you? β
Nodding slowly, the black-clothed nobleman named Susas said in a low voice, "You felt a personal threat, so you returned to Tanzanian City at that point in time?" β
"I admit that I have no obvious basis, and this is just one of my irresponsible conjectures." As if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him, Tristan replied with a smile, "After all, I used to live in the Free City, and I still know a lot about danger. β
"Well, we can treat His Royal Highness as a ruthless person for the time being." As if to regain his spirits, Friedman on the side said in a flat voice: "But so what? Aren't you still alive and well? β
"That's not the point I'm trying to say." Tristan replied with a smile, "What I want to convince you of isβ"
"Since His Royal Highness the Prince can do it to others, then he can naturally do it to himself."
The voice belonging to Duan Qing then appeared behind the middle-aged man, and said the next sentence he wanted to say in advance: "The attack that His Royal Highness suffered later was also planned by His Royal Highness the Prince himself, it's as simple as that. β
"That's your justification?"
In the buzz of discussion resounding in the sky above the main hall, the emperor sitting in the center of the high platform finally raised his majestic voice again: "You identify the mastermind behind your scenes, is His Royal Highness the prince himself?" β
"To be precise, I'm going to identify it." In the sonorous sound of armor colliding, the voice from Asahi Dongsheng echoed throughout the main hall with the footsteps of him stepping forward: "Neither of them showed up when the meeting was convened, I was the only one present, and an adventurer who was not our adventure group suddenly attacked His Royal Highness, causing him to suffer a slight injury to his left shoulder. β
"You, what did you say?"
"Yes, I'm one of the witnesses." In the face of the loud doubts raised by the surrounding Qiqi, the giant axe warrior looked down on the high platform without fear: "And I have also witnessed how they refer to the deer as a horse, and when they turn around, they will think that I am one of the attackers." β
"This should also be a sacrifice that His Royal Highness the Prince has been preparing for a long time, after all, among the few people who participated in his escort, we are the only one who is not very obedient." Duan Qing continued in a low voice: "Of course, there should be an even more important reason for them to choose our Qingling Adventure Group. β
"Because we are closest to the Lord of Violet." He said with a stern face: "If we are the attackers, the mastermind behind the attack will naturally lead to the head of the Violet Lord. β
The buzz of discussion echoing over the hall became more obvious with the appearance of Duan Qing's words, and even Marshal Red's several angry roars did not calm down these buzzing sounds again, and the possibility outlined by Duan Qing's few words seemed to make their disbelief a little thicker, and at the same time, it also made the conclusion that Tristan wanted to say much easier: "As you can see, Your Majesty, this is another guess I want to say." β
"Based on what happened later and our follow-up investigation, this speculation is significantly more likely." He pointed to the faces of the adventurers behind him, and at the same time looked at the surrounding imperial nobles with a scrutinizing gaze: "His Royal Highness waved his army back to the city, pointed the finger at Lord Violet, and after that great battle, personally sent her to the stake with his own hands. β
"I don't know what other adults mean in this, but until that miracle happened, everything was going according to His Royal Highness's intentions." His gaze finally returned to His Majesty the Emperor in the center of the high platform: "I wonder how much Your Majesty knows about Prince Chris's actions?" β
"Presumptuous! What are you doing? The Reich's Chancellor, Field Pamuel, immediately raised his finger and said, "Do you want to lay the blame for this great rebellion on your Majesty's head?" β
"I obviously didn't mean that, because this trial was originally convened by His Majesty the Emperor himself." Tristan replied with an unimpressed smile, "If His Majesty the Emperor already knows all the inside story, then what else is he summoning us to do?" Listen to our own stories? β
"Your Majesty, there is some truth in what Tristan said." In the midst of the buzz of discussion, the figure belonging to Prime Minister Caldera bowed down again: "But his remarks and speculations have no basis, please don't be easily led by his words......"
"But the trial that was imposed on me is over." Tristan raised his voice and said: "Since the charges against me cannot be established, then what I am saying should also be facts based on facts, as a minor role in the rebellion in Tanzaia, these adventurers should be charged with a lighter crime than me-"
"Nonsense! How could the role they take on be overlooked! Don't forget that they are now the Restoration's men! It's an undercover agent sent by the Restorationists to find 'Luo Asong'! β
"You are using the results of the castle of Thebilisi to deduce the reason for the city of Tanzania, dear Lord Chakna, and this snow ...... These adventurers are the vanguard of the repeated, how could they become the restorers' subordinates? β
"Where did you come from? Are you defending their identity? β
"These words are not groundless, after all, you can still find out their identities, even if Your Excellency Susas can't find out, the dark part of the empire should have already gotten some other news......"
"But, but Lord Simon didn't show up today......"
"Mistress Simon didn't arrive? Oh, that's kind of interesting. But even if the Lord didn't want to come forward, there were plenty of other ways to prove their situation, such asβ"
"That's enough."
There was another deafening shout, and this time it was the pale-haired Marshal Red who interrupted the debate between the people, but the old man's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and his back, which had always been straight, seemed to be a little stiff at this time: "...... Your Majesty. β
"What?"
"Regarding the matter of the Gloria family, I wonder what Your Majesty has planned?"
"Well, you don't say that you forgot about it."
There was a bit of a smile in the majestic voice, and the tall and burly figure of the emperor finally sat up a little straighter: "It seems that the spirit of the Qing and the others is not very good, it must be because they have been judged all morning and are overworked, right?" β
"Then we'll end this trial."
He waved his hand and waved back all the figures of the ministers standing around the high platform, and then looked at the figure of Duan Qing who was all revealed by the nobles who had retreated to the side below with a serious and scrutinizing gaze: "Yu will ask you the last two questions." β
ββ¦β¦ Your Majesty, please make it clear. β
"Did you defeat Violet in the rebellion in Tanzania?"
"Yes."
"Did you let Violet go at trial?"
ββ¦β¦ Be. β
"Very good, Yu understands"
Nodding his head, the burly figure of the emperor suddenly stood up, and then slowly walked towards the side door at the back of the hall in the scene of all the nobles bowing in unison: "Today's court meeting is over. β
"Bring him to the Palazzo Frey."
