Chapter 169: The Pardoned Guardian Knight
At this moment, everyone looked at the slender figure in the center of the courtroom in disbelief.
Shi Chen, who was already disheartened, slowly raised his head and looked at Isha with some puzzlement, not understanding why she would make such an irrational move at this moment.
In his impression, although Isha was young, she did not have the negative habits of those gentlemen.
Could she really be?
Suye Cangna, who was sitting on the hearing seat, pursed her lips slightly, and glanced at Isha with some surprise, as if she had thought of what the other party was going to do, and her eyes showed admiration and appreciation.
Elizabeth's princess was naturally not naΓ―ve, at least not in the opinion of the Chief Justice.
The chief justice stared at the girl in front of him for a long time, as if he thought of something, his pupils, which were originally old and somewhat cloudy, suddenly shrank, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Are you sure?" β
Isha glanced back at Xu Qiusheng, who was a little confused, and then at Shi Chen, who was dazed but with a hint of hope, revealing a gentle and sunny smile.
Then she looked back at the high Chief Justice on the bench and said firmly, "I'm sure." β
The Chief Justice stared at Isha for a long time, sighed deeply, and said, "You shouldn't have done this. β
"It shouldn't be, but I have to." Isha pursed her lips.
The Chief Justice suddenly smiled kindly and encouraged, "Then do what you want." β
"Thank you! Your honor! β
Isha thanked her, then turned around and came to Xu Qiusheng, who was still dazed, and asked solemnly: "Xu Qiusheng, are you willing to declare a knight's declaration here, as my Isha. Beira. Elizabeth's Guardian Knights, go and fight for me, for Elizabeth royalty, for the Federation? β
As Isa's words fell, not only in the courtroom, but at this moment, everyone in the Federation who saw the live broadcast of this verdict showed shock and disbelief.
It's actually a canonized guardian knight!
As the Elizabeth royal family, which has made outstanding contributions to the Federation, although it no longer has political adjudication power, it still has some rights that the royal family should have, one of which is not well known to the world, that is, the right of pardon written in the federal constitution.
Her Majesty Elizabeth has the right to pardon all prisoners who are not guilty of treason, but since the founding of the country, Her Majesty Elizabeth has never used it lightly.
Because if this privilege is used arbitrarily, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the reputation of the royal family, and in the long run, it will not be conducive to the existence of the royal family.
In addition to Her Majesty Elizabeth, as a princess of the royal family, after reaching the age of 18, she can also choose a guardian knight and have the right to pardon her guilt, but this also means that the royal family will bear the responsibility for these crimes.
At this moment, Isha used this only chance.
However, Xu Qiusheng was completely reluctant, and after hearing this, he was stunned for a while, and looked at Shi Chen for help.
"Don't be stupid! Say yes! "Shi Chen wants to rush over and beat this guy at this moment, this life is too good! But in my heart, I was sincerely happy and grateful to Isa.
He knew that all of this was nothing more than Isha's return for saving her life, including her sister Leah's share.
Actually, Isha didn't need to do it to this extent.
Originally, her appearance in court must have disobeyed Her Majesty Elizabeth's wishes. And doing so at this moment is bound to have a great impact on Elizabeth's royal family, and even push Elizabeth, who has been hidden behind history, to the forefront again.
But she did just that, and did it so abruptly and decisively, that no one thought that things would develop into such a situation beforehand, and she turned a predetermined judgment into a canonization ceremony for the guardian knights.
"Yes! Your Highness! Xu Qiusheng was not stupid, he understood that this might be the only chance he could get out at the moment, so he quickly agreed.
Isha continued, "Will you give up your desires and become a sword and a shield for the sake of great justice?" β
"Yes! Your Highness! β
At this time, Nolan secretly played a note in front of Xu Qiusheng's table.
Xu Qiusheng was stunned, glanced at it and wrote it down, jumped directly from the plaintiff's seat, knelt down on one knee in front of Isa, clenched his fist against his left chest, and solemnly swore an oath:
"From now on, I, Xu Qiusheng, will uphold the virtues of humility, integrity, mercy, bravery, justice, sacrifice, honor and soul."
"The strong enemy is present, not fearless, resolute and loyal, worthy of God, loyal and upright, willing to die unyieldingly, protecting the weak, and not violating the principles of heaven."
"I swear to be kind to the weak."
"I swear to stand up to rape bravely."
"I swear to fight all mistakes."
"I swear to fight for the unarmed."
"I swear to help anyone who asks me for help."
"I swear not to hurt any woman."
"I swear to help my brother knight."
"I swear to be sincere with my friends."
"I swear that I will die for what I love."
Isha stretched out her hand, took the knight's saber presented by Nolan on the side, pulled out the scabbard with a 'bell', and put the blade on Xu Qiusheng's left shoulder.
"I'm Isa. Beira. Elizabeth acknowledges you, Xu Qiusheng, as my guardian knight. β
After speaking, Isha returned the knight's sword to the sheath and entrusted it to Xu Qiusheng's hand, which also implied that from now on, Isha would entrust her trust and life to the other party.
Isabella made a vow, and Xu Qiusheng stood up and turned around at Nolan's signal, accepting everyone's acknowledgment.
However, at a glance, it is all a face that is either dull or resentful or envious or jealous.
There was an awkward silence inside the courtroom.
In the midst of this silence, a piercing and lonely applause rang out.
Xu Qiusheng turned his head, and it was Su Ye Cangna who was sitting in the jury who was applauding.
Then, Shi Chen and Gu Meiyan, who finally reacted, also began to applaud from the heart, like a fire on the prairie fire, and the originally sporadic applause in the courtroom began to converge, and finally turned into a warm turbulence.
And at this moment, many federal citizens in front of the TV screen also began to applaud spontaneously, even if the parties concerned could not hear it.
"Your Royal Highness the Second Princess, you have finally reached this age." This is the heartfelt sigh of many seniors.
The applause continued for a long time, and Isha raised her hand, and the applause in the courtroom fell silent.
She turned to look at the chief justice, who was full of emotion, and said, "Your Excellency, I'm Isa. Beira. Elizabeth then applied for a pardon for the guardian knight Xu Qiusheng. All the sins committed by Xu Qiusheng will be borne by me, the Elizabeth royal family. All the losses in the Thirteen Cities of the Titans will be compensated by I, the Elizabethan royal family. All those who died in this turmoil will be mourned by my Elizabeth royal family. β
The chief justice nodded and said, "This judge hereby declares that the defendant Xu Qiusheng is acquitted. β
