Chapter 111: Hearings

Soon, Norman and the others' intentions were finally revealed to Belorin.

"What, the hearings, about the legitimacy of my succession to the throne of the city lord?" Bilorinli glared angrily at Norman who had come to inform him, as if she was going to burn the cunning human in front of her to charcoal.

"Dear Bilorian niece, listen to me, it wasn't my intention. Norman seemed to be completely unafraid of the elf in front of him, and he could not hide his pride and said,

"Elders, it seems that you have some doubts about your birth, so you have asked the relevant local authorities of the Elven Holy Court. However, the response did not seem to be pleasant. Therefore, all of us in Morton City would like you to attend this hearing to prove the legitimacy of your inheritance. ”

"Hmph, this is my city, the inheritance that my grandfather handed over to me. In the presence of the great Elven Queen, it is completely in accordance with the law. Why are you asking me to attend any hearing, and who gave you that authority?"

"Yes, then you can explain it to all the elders at the hearing!"

"You're insulting the dignity of an elf, I'm not going to go!" said Belorin.

"When the time comes, I can't help you. I forgot to tell you, this hearing was presided over by the Elven Holy Court. If you don't attend, then the Elven Sanctuary will have enough reason to question the legitimacy of your city lord, and maybe even take back the management of Morton City. ”

"Elven Sanctuary, how is that possible?" asked Belorin, surprised.

"You'll know when you go, I don't dare to deceive you, the noble elf lady. Perhaps, you will meet your acquaintances at tomorrow's hearing. ”

That night, Belorinelli urgently summoned Zod, Fianna, and Doyle to discuss the matter.

"Hearings, the elders have that power?" Fianna asked.

"I'm afraid there is. I have studied the testimonies of my land. The Council of Elders had the responsibility of overseeing the lords and officials, and these elders of high prestige were fully qualified to question the abilities and actions of the lords. Zode said,

"The point is, at this hearing, there will actually be people from the Elven Holy Court. Could it be that something is wrong with the elves? Logically speaking, this kind of trivial matter should not alarm those arrogant elven believers. ”

The Elven Sanctuary is the holy place of all the elves in the main material plane, and the place of origin of the elven race. It is home to the largest shrine complex of the elves and is the center of belief for the elves. It is superior to all elven kingdoms, but it can interfere in the internal affairs of all elven kingdoms.

The territory of the Elven Sacred Court is not large, it is located in the southernmost part of the Steppe Elf Kingdom, in the Great Forest of Falling Stars bordering the Dark Swamp.

The Elven Sanctuary forbids any alien approach, and it is home to nearly 10,000 of the most devout elven believers, and it is also the final place of the High Elves.

"Could it be that the elves have revealed the details of Grand Duke Nicholas's disappearance?" the old wizard guessed.

"No, this kind of big scandal, the elves can't cover it up, how can they tell these low-level races. Zuode said categorically.

In the end, the group did not discuss any results, but it seems that tomorrow's hearing will have to go.

The next day, accompanied by Zode, Fianna and Doyle, Bilorina attended the hearing in the town hall as scheduled.

In the large conference room of the town hall, there are not many people who are qualified to participate in meetings at this level. Except for the fifteen elders and the officials of the city hall, it was the elite of some citizens.

And it was here that Beloline met characters she would never have imagined.

"Belorinli, you're still here. I thought that little girl who was as timid as a mouse would not dare to appear here. At least you didn't disgrace us elves!"

"Audreya ...... Sister?" Bilorine stammered,

"You, why are you here?"

"Don't call me sister. I don't have a stupid sister like you!" Audreya sneered,

"As an elf, he was questioned by his own people and was forced to participate in such a hearing. You're so ashamed!"

"That's because ......," said Bilorin, blushing.

"That's enough, you don't have to explain it to me, just go to the hearing!" Audreya interrupted, then turned her back and entered the seat of the hearing.

"Ahem, then, since everyone is here. So let's get started. First of all, we are honored to have Miss Audreya Yueyu present at our hearing. She is a war sacrifice from the Elven Sanctuary. I think her presence is a testament to the authority of our hearing. On the rostrum, a thin old man with gold-rimmed glasses said slowly. This is Benjamin Gage, a great merchant in Morton, a shrewd navigator. It is said that half of Morton's maritime trade is in his hands, and he is also the chief archelder of the Council of Elders.

"The cause of this hearing was Norman Barcelo, the nephew of the former lord of the city, Quinn Barcelo, and some evidence was found to prove that Miss Bilorin's mother, Helen Barcelo, was not the biological daughter of the former lord of the city......"

"You're talking nonsense! It's slander, rumors, slander!" Bilorinli interrupted the Grand Elder's words and shouted sharply.

"You bastard, why do you say that my mother was not born to my grandfather!"

"I have proof. Norman laughed and stood up with a bunch of confessions,

"Here are the testimonies of the old gardeners and cooks of the City Lord's Mansion more than forty years ago. There are also some testimonies of the old guards, which are enough to show that Helen is not the old city lord, the biological daughter of my uncle Quinn Sr. Also, as we all know, Helen's appearance is not at all like my uncle's! This is definitely not a descendant of our Barcelo family!"

",,!!" Belorina rose excitedly, screaming loudly.

"Shut up, Beloline Leigh. Be careful with your words and actions, and don't embarrass the elves again!" Audreya said coldly.
