Chapter 202: Sophia's Entanglement
Isn't it true that someone once photographed the princess entering and leaving the hotel, and it is said that at the welcome dinner, the young man once stepped forward and saved the princess from the dagger attack at the last moment, and even injured him as a result.
This is simply a good gossip story, and it is definitely what the people of the imperial capital like to see.
They don't know how many thoughts they have turned in their minds, how many romantic love episodes they have made, but they don't know why the princess suddenly appeared today, is it to show their love openly?
Sure enough, it is a young hero, no matter what he does, he will be the focus of the storm, and some people have involuntarily tilted the balance in their hearts to Philip's side.
It's a pity that such a wonderful character is locked up, and only if he stays outside, more news will be created.
Philip was also surprised by Sophia's appearance, thinking that this ambitious woman had given up on him, but he appeared here, did he want to see with his own eyes how he was ruined?
When he met those lilac eyes, I don't know if it was his delusion, but he saw a trace of worry in it.
So he could only nod faintly and look away.
When Sophia saw this scene, her heart darkened, did she decide too late?
These ten days have also been a torment for her.
The reckless confession nearly a month ago has always shrouded the relationship between her and Philip in wisps of utilitarianism, invisibly separating the two people.
originally thought that she didn't care, it was no different from marriage, this was a transaction, it was nothing more than that the object of the transaction was chosen by herself.
But with the increase in contact, before she knew it, the proud young man with dazzling white blonde hair had quietly entered her heart.
She may be ambitious, but she is still only 16 years old, and she is still a young girl who is still in love.
After Philip's accident, she locked herself in an empty room and stood alone in front of the window, looking out at the beautiful royal gardens.
But there was no focus in her eyes, and she stood from noon to sunset, and from sunset to twilight.
It wasn't until her legs and stomach were protesting strongly that she realized that she had been standing in the autumn cold wind for so long.
The next day, she caught a cold, and was groggy in bed, with a terrible burning head, but she smiled.
It's good to be sick, you don't have to think about these things when you're sick, and you won't be so entangled.
But there will always be a day when the disease will be cured, and the choice is finally in front of her, and there is no escape.
Sophia made two long lists in her mind, one was hundreds of excuses to choose to give up, and the other was dozens of reasons to persevere.
But it wasn't until she accidentally saw the handsome guards and beautiful palace maids gathered together in the shadows outside the window, looking at the slightly intertwined soul light pillars above their heads, and seeing the shy and sweet smiles on the palace maids' faces, that she really laughed, and for a while she dispersed the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks.
It's still late, Sophia smiled bitterly, but she wasn't worried, because she had already made her choice, she was the princess of the empire.
Thinking about it, she slightly turned her head to look at Anna not far away, and the interracial girl with pointed ears, they were indeed rare beauties.
The first to notice that something was wrong was not Philip, but his old lady, Catherine.
The seats were interesting, with Her Royal Highness sitting in the first row, accompanied only by White.
Anna and Demi sat on the left side of the second row, Catherine was on Demi's right, and Lin Yun leaned against her, the two girls who had heard each other's names for a long time, but met for the first time today, recognized each other from the first time they saw each other.
An inexplicable emotion quickly replaced concern for Philip and occupied the hearts of both girls.
She's the bastard's childhood sweetheart's playmate when she was a child, the girl who swore to protect?
She's the girl who took my place and grew up with him?
The strange atmosphere flowed silently in the air, until Sophia's scrutinizing gaze came, and the smell of this complex entanglement became even stronger.
Even Demi noticed her daughter's abnormality and whispered something.
Catherine smiled bitterly in her heart, this bastard stinky boy, we are afraid of you, but you are merry in the imperial capital.
Even if it is her son, it is inevitable that he will stand in the perspective of a woman and be upset for Yun'er, but what to do with Anna, Catherine is a little entangled.
She was in a dilemma, but finally took Yun'er's cold little hand and patted it gently.
By the way, there is also an episode, entering the courtroom, asking not to carry any weapons, not even a small dagger.
But Lin Yun said that he would not hand over the dagger, and it took Catherine a long time to persuade the little girl to reluctantly agree.
There was another person at the scene who was struggling, and that was Shirley, the eldest cousin who was sitting on the other side of Anna.
Oh my God, it's another Peugeot little beauty, how many beautiful girls has this cousin provoked, what should I do, who should I choose?
As the judge entered, the clerk rang the sideline bell, and the crowd fell silent.
I thought that the trial would enter soon, but after the bell stopped, the judge motioned for the audience to stand and welcome the big man in.
The door of the Inquisition opened from the outside again, and a middle-aged priest dressed in a seventh-level bishop's robe and a seven-pointed crown walked in, and it was none other than Bishop Ferdinand from the Imperial Capital's Arch-Temple.
Ferdinand looks only about 40 years old, but those who know him well know that he is close to 70 years old.
The awakening level of up to the fourth level makes him still energetic, his eyes are bright, and his perennial high position makes him not angry and arrogant, and his bearing is strict.
Ferdinand's unexpected appearance immediately caused a commotion at the scene, and they all speculated how such a small murder case could be connected to the presence of a bishop of such a level in person.
You must know that there are not a few priests at the level of the bishop of the imperial capital, but there are several small levels within the seventh-level bishop, and Ferdinand is definitely the best among them.
Both old Roland and White frowned, thinking that this was a killer feature found by the other party, and only Catherine guessed some clues.
Before leaving Gokan City, it was Jane's reminder that she thought of something that had been hidden in the bedroom safe and had not been touched for eight years.
The Knight of Glory Badge, the badge that was rewarded by the Temple of Golcan City because Philip had inadvertently discovered the conspiracy of the spy organization and made great achievements.
She got on the train, but Brad personally visited Bishop Melissa in the temple of Gaukan.
To his surprise, Melissa just smiled.
She told Brad that she had reported the matter to the Archbishop of the Southern Temple as soon as she received the news, and that the temple would help Philip to a limited extent.
Brad knew that limited meant that it would not interfere with the independence and impartiality of the court, but would support it to the best of his ability.
In full view of everyone, the temple will not interfere with judicial justice, and everything still depends on the evidence presented in the trial.
But this is already a great help, at least it can ensure that the other party will not make any fuss during the trial stage, and even if Philip is subsequently found guilty, he will no longer have to worry about knives from the shadows.
Catherine thought of many possibilities, but she didn't expect that the temple would attach so much importance to it, and she would directly dispatch a seventh-level bishop.
This is simply amazing.
Just look at the eager face of the judge who came down to greet him with trepidation.
The judge was terrified, and he had only been informed this morning, and he was uneasy.
He was only one of the judges of the Imperial Miyan District Court, and in terms of the big rank, Ferdinand was one level higher than him, and in the small rank, it was even four levels higher.
This big man is sitting in the audience, who dares to play any tricks, and honestly divide the evidence.
Ferdinand was not as serious as expected, and went straight to the first row.
He first appeased the judge, then bowed slightly to Princess Sophia, and then smiled and said to everyone at the scene: "Don't be nervous, sit down."
I am here today on behalf of the Imperial Capital General Temple, as a witness, to supervise the entire investigation, trial and punishment process of the case.
I will not obstruct the justice of justice or interfere with the proceedings.
Today I just came with my eyes and reported what I saw to the General Shrine in its entirety. ”
An anxious and bold reporter suddenly asked, "Lord Ferdinand, why would the General Shrine supervise such an ordinary criminal case?"
Ferdinand was very self-contained, and did not make a straight face because of the other party's interjection, but said patiently: "This is not an ordinary criminal case, in fact, this is what I was about to say, even if you don't ask."
The person involved in this case, or the suspect, Philip O'Snape, is not only a top student of the Green Tree Vine Academy, and the winner of this year's Kent Cup, but also an honorary member of the Temple of Gokan City.
Eight years ago, Bishop Melissa personally awarded the ninth ever Knightly Badge of Glory to Cadet Philip in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the preservation of the Temple's honor.
You see, this badge still clearly retains the imprint of Bishop Melissa's divine power, and I can easily feel it. ”
Catherine had already taken out the badge and handed it to the front, and Ferdinand nodded in satisfaction and showed it off.
"Wow!"
There was an uproar in the courtroom, and they rushed forward to inspect the badge, not that they thought it would be fake.
Even if it's fake, in Ferdinand's capacity, if he says it's true, it's true.
Ordinary people want to see with their own eyes what this legendary and precious badge looks like.
The reporters were frantically taking pictures, and in the frame of the camera, the small number "9" on the silver badge was exceptionally clear.
"Lord Ferdinand, may I ask why Philip was rewarded with such a precious badge?"
