57. Trial
"Ahem, quiet, quiet everybody!" said an inquisitor in a tuxedo uniform, white socks on his calves, and green satin shoes on his feet, his lips pursed hard, and two lumps of flesh squeezing out of his cheeks.
The experience of being buried in the earth three days ago made Lycia do become suspicious, but in the end she decided not to worry about the danger before it came.
Today's inquisitors come from the upstream city of Senna, which was much larger than Sufaro, and whose lord was also the administrator of Sufaro.
So this time the judge was sent from Senna.
Lycia was puzzled by the institutional setup of the Thorn Empire, which had a well-established legal department, although she didn't know the specific system, but it was definitely relatively sound.
But at the same time, the Church also has the power to judge, and in the judgment involving the power of heraldry, the judgment of the Church is decisive.
And now, when Dimitrius and the others had discussed how to deal with the bishop from Senna, a small inquisitor came.
"Ahem, I'm sorry, I'm going to read out the verdict now that the Hanar family concealed the identity of their eldest son, Pierrot Boar Man. ”
"I'm sorry, sir!" Troy raised his hand in confusion. "What about the trial?"
Lycia, along with Troy and Dimitrius, all sat in a place similar to the plaintiff's seat.
The inquisitor did not dare to look at Troy, he was a nobleman without a title, and this was the first time he had seen the Duke in his life, and of course the first time he had seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
He closed his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "Oh yes, you're very right, in general, we do need the trial process, but, um, but, because Mr. Pierrot's whereabouts are unknown at the moment, so. ”
Lycia couldn't take it anymore. "Alright, let's start reading the verdict first. ”
Troy nodded as well. "Yes, if it's not right, we'll correct you. ”
The boring reading process finally came to an end after a fly flew into the dusty hall and was then hacked to death by Buchton's sword.
"So, it's just exile?" Lycia thought of Keith, her brother, who had just escaped the imminent unjust trial, and was directly demoted to a commoner.
"He brought in a strange beast, which resulted in the death of 17 soldiers, the displacement of 32 civilian families, and the death or serious wounding of 80 civilians, is it just such a disposition as exile?
"Well, it's just a commoner, Miss Lycia, and this disaster has not killed a single nobleman. The Inquisitor smiled awkwardly.
"Nobles can't just kill civilians!"
However, everyone present, except for the servants, were all nobles, and no one could empathize with Lycia.
In the eyes of the aristocracy, commoners are not very human.
"It's not clear who destroyed the guardian circle of the city gates, Mr. Inquisitor, I have submitted several applications to Senna's Ministry of Justice, have you sent anyone to investigate, or have you been working on a boring document with an unsatisfactory outcome for the past three days. Dimitorius stopped Lycia from arguing.
"!" Lycia sat down, feeling very aggrieved, and she hadn't finished yet.
Troy leaned over, over Dimitri's back, and into Lycia's ear. "Don't rush into a fight, our business is to force the church to come out and claim it. ”
Lycia also admits that this is the main thing now. "Okay. She sighed.
"These things you said will not be changed for a while, of course, after this matter is over, I am very happy to help you with questions about the rights and interests of civilians. Troy smiled softly at Lycia.
I have to admit that the Duke of Troy has a very experienced experience in getting along with women.
Lycia straightened her hair, a few strands of hair brushing past Dimitri, who was standing with her hands behind her back, and he suddenly paused as he was making the Inquisitor speechless.
"If the lord of Seine City can't even find out about this kind of trivial matter, then I will truthfully report it to the Imperial Security Affairs Department if there is a serious mistake in the management of Seine City and Sufaro's defense array. ”
Most of the people seated, except for the students of the Thorn Academy, were local nobles from Sufaro.
The fall of the city lord made them all ready to move.
It's as if whoever has a straighter back can take over the position of the city lord.
"Also, the lord of Sufaro should be replaced, and it is a felony to hide the boar people. Dimitoli nodded to a young man in the audience. "As for the candidates, I would recommend Bob Gaffey's eldest son. ”
Leon Gaffy stood up and saluted Dimitoli.
"Bob is a good fighter who gave his precious life in the face of danger. People with such noble sentiments must raise children who are also excellent. After Dimitorius finished speaking, he stepped out of the plaintiff's seat.
The inquisitor took notes while wiping his sweat.

"The ring that Lycia gave me is indeed an item of the royal family, and it was found yesterday that it was a tribute from the Barbalizi region, and the owner is His Majesty the Emperor. Dimitri said.
Lycia is Zamabu, an excellent heraldic ability, and her physical fitness must be the best.
"So maybe this is really something that His Majesty left for the bastard?" Lycia's legs were trembling, after becoming a heraldic ability, her explosive power was enough, but her stamina was not enough, and she only stood for twenty minutes, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
Dimitri kicked a round stool next to Lycia's leg. "There's no need to rush, you won't be in the academy in less than three months. ”
"Why is the church looking for this ring?" said Lycia, not looking at the stool, distracting herself from her thoughts.
Dimitri looked at the ring in his right hand, then shook his head.
She also lasted half an hour yesterday, and she needs to hold on for at least forty minutes today.
"The letter to His Majesty, he has not approved what to do with Lennir to this day, and the church must know that Lennir is not the illegitimate child they are looking for. Lycia exhaled, her little face flushed.
"So, then, they must be trying to deal with you now, ha, that's right!" Lycia straightened up suddenly. "Now it's all over the place singing songs that the church wants to kill you. ”
Lycia continued with a frown. "If I were the church, I would do what you did, and make miracles and tell everyone that you are the dying man, and that the child of destiny is someone else. ”
"They're very good at miracles, so the next thing is to find the bastard of the true Dragon Crest. Lycia met Dimitrius' eyes.
