"Ouch hey!"

While the presiding judge was stunned by the long presentation, Duke Robette, who had been hiding behind the curtain to watch the trial, also fell to the ground without sitting still.

"Father, what's wrong with you?" said a startled Charlotte hurried over to help the Duke up.

"Pain...... "The Duke barely got up from the ground, rubbing his ass and moaning weakly. His moaning was half due to physical pain and half to psychological shock.

"Those two muddy boys, do you know what they did...... Throw that kind of thing, but it's going to kill you......"

"Is that a thing?" said Charlotte, admiringly.

"It's amazing, Brother Kirin, you can get so much support in a short period of time. It seems that Sister Nuo Yin is also quite popular among businessmen. ”

“...... That's a forgery. The Duke let out a low sigh.

Although Charlotte has the intelligence of her peers, she still lacks experience after all, and it is impossible for something like this to be completed in such a short time. Moreover, considering that almost all the chambers of commerce in the kingdom tend to be under the power of the Prime Minister's faction, it is almost impossible for the merchants of the Second Avenue to unite and write a petition to help Noyin. In the final analysis, with the exception of the more alternative Son of Greine in front of them, the merchants instinctively choose the latter creature between favor and benefit.

"Forged?" Charlotte blinked.

"yes, it's a fake...... Eighty percent of them were rushed out on the way here, right?" said the Duke, surprised again.

Even if it is a forged pleading, if it wants to deceive the eyes of the presiding judge, it must have a certain verisimilitude. In other words, the signatures on it may be fake, but most of the records about the chambers of commerce being rescued by the "Sky King" must be true, and it is impossible for the two of them to come up with a piece of evidence full of holes. Moreover, if the person who forged this statement was the son of the merchant, then the Duke had to re-evaluate Erie - regardless of the rest, the ability to grasp all the information on the air crash of the hundreds of chambers of commerce in the second avenue of the royal capital was enough to make people look sideways.

"Is the statement faked?, then, is it okay with Brother Kirin?" Charlotte suddenly panicked.

“...... There is no problem, even if the statement is forged, from the moment it is published, it will naturally become true. A grand wry smile appeared on the duke's face, and he uttered something that was close to a riddle.

If Charlotte had more life experience and was more familiar with political struggles, she might have been able to understand the Duke's words.

At present, there is a situation in the court where the prime minister is single-handedly covering the sky, and for outsiders, it is natural to think that there is no power in the kingdom of Lavelis that can compete with the prime minister Katos. However, in the eyes of those in the know, this perception is actually very wrong. Leaving aside the temporary deprivation of power of the Ravelis royal family and the young new king, who have not yet done anything, even compared to the Isère family, which has stood for centuries, the prime minister's faction that has only risen for a generation is like a tyrant. Even if the power is monstrous for a while, it is just a castle built on sand, and it may collapse at any time.

So far, the Isère family has only watched the performance of the ambitious prime minister, and once the Duke does stand up against Katos, the court will probably immediately split into two factions. In that case, the new king would naturally choose to support the "Auxiliary Prince" who had been his guardian. With the influence of the duke and the authority of the new king, once the situation evolves to this point, most of Katos's years of hard work may be in vain, and whether the victor who finally holds the supreme power will be the prime minister may also be marked with a lot of question marks.

For businessmen who rely on intelligence to survive in the crevices of power, this is just the most basic common sense. So on the one hand, they were close to the Prime Minister's faction, and on the other hand, they did not dare to offend the Iseire family in the slightest. In the face of a palace war that could break out at any time, they watched the situation with bated breath while carefully guarding their basically neutral position. If the situation evolves to a point where there is a clear winner, they will certainly rush to join the winner's side, but until then, it will be impossible to expect them to help one against the other.

However, Yili's statement of affection completely destroyed the calculations of his peers.

That plead implicated all the chambers of commerce on Second Avenue. The Duke could have imagined how difficult the situation of the merchants would have been when the Prime Minister asked, "Why do you want to help the Isères, do you want to be an enemy of the Prime Minister??"

If it is argued that "the letter of love is forged", the result is tantamount to offending the Isère family, and the kindness of "saving the daughter of Isère" will naturally be wiped out, and the suspicion of the prime minister's faction will have to be borne by three incalculable losses, which is more painful than the death of the shrewd and calculating merchants. On the contrary, if you admit the truth of that statement, of course, you will be jealous of the prime minister's faction, but at the same time, it is equivalent to getting the goodwill of the Isère family, and in terms of results, the gains basically outweigh the losses.

On the one hand, it was a heavy loss, and on the other hand, it was a slight gain, in other words, it was tantamount to pushing all the merchants to the point where they had to ally themselves with the family of Isère. That's why the duke said that when the forged petition was made public, it was tantamount to being true.

(Those two muddy boys are really amazing...... The Duke sighed, but could not blame him.

He could probably guess why Erie did such a thing. Although the son of a merchant wants to help Kirin prove Nuoyin's innocence, he is worried that the Greine Chamber of Commerce will be retaliated against by the Prime Minister's faction afterwards, so he deliberately implicates all the chambers of commerce so that the Prime Minister's faction has no way to do it.

(However, it is such a hard-line way to create a fait accompli by extreme means and then force all parties to accept their will...... Was it really his idea?) The Duke was still somewhat skeptical of this possibility. He looked at Erie on the guard seat, it was hard to imagine that this young man in a cold sweat would have the compulsion to do such a thing, but it was the black young man next to him, the unscrupulous appearance of exerting pressure on the presiding judge, which made the Duke more and more convinced of his thoughts.

"Father, although Charlotte doesn't understand it very well, but since that love letter is true......" At this time, Charlotte asked cautiously. "Then Brother Qilin and Sister Nuo Yin will be fine, right?"

"Ah, don't worry about this, because of your brother Qilin's efforts, it's time for this farce to end early...... Uh, no. The duke stroked his little daughter's head, didn't know what to think, and said to Charlotte with a bitter face: "It should be said that it is your sister Nuoyin's matter that is over, but your brother Qilin's trouble has just begun." ”

........................

“...... The Tribunal has now ruled that the impeachment of Captain Isère is null and void, and the impeacher is released on the spot. ”

The wooden coffin in the presiding judge's hand rang on the desk, and at the same time, it also announced the end of Noin's trial.

"Kirin!" At the same time as he was acquitted, Noyin jumped out of the dock and walked quickly towards Kirin.

"Noyin, they didn't be rude to you......" Kirin waved at Noyin, fantasizing that there might be a touching hug next.

However, in the next second, Nuoyin's hand pressed on his shoulder, and at the same time, Qilin felt a weight under his feet, and before he could react, he was pressed to the ground by Nuoyin with superb grappling skills.

The same happened to Erie next to him. When the Kirin recovered from the impact of the crash, he happened to see the merchant's son's face smiling bitterly on the ground, and seemed to be prepared for this treatment.

"Noin, you...... What are you doing?" Qilin looked up at Noyin inexplicably, but Noyin didn't look at him.

"Lord Norwes, I'm so sorry that my brother has been so disciplining me that I have rudely rushed into the heraldic courtyard. Noin held the two of them down in an apologetic gesture and bowed his head to apologize to the chief of the gendarmerie who was standing on the side of the courtroom.

"Uh......" patronized and rejoiced at Noyin's release, and Kirin remembered that he had made a big fuss about the heraldic courtyard before, and he suddenly sweated.

"This matter is my responsibility as a guardian, and I hope that the adults will open the net, and any punishment will be counted on me. ”

In order to protect the two Kirin, Nuo Yin took all the responsibility on himself.

In the face of Noyin's request, Norvies did not react quickly. After a period of silence that made one wonder if he had really turned into a stone statue, the chief of the gendarmerie exhaled slowly and said to Nuo Yin in an unexpectedly gentle tone: "Please raise your head, Second Miss, I did hear your request. But before I do that, let me take care of another thing......"

Saying this, Norwes looked back at the exit of the courtroom and called out to someone there in a cold voice. "Prince Conrad, please stay. ”

"Hmm......" Conrad, who was about to take advantage of the chaos, shook and froze in place.

"The House of Heraldry is fair. Since the result of the trial proved that the daughter of Isère was innocent, there was naturally the wrong party. The chief of the gendarmerie announced to him. "Falsely accusing Captain Bai Xiang and disturbing the morale of the army are both serious crimes, Prince Conrad. ”

"This ...... Wait for my uncle to take care of this!" Conrad said and rushed towards the exit, but two burly gendarmes stopped at the door and blocked him back.

"Not only this matter, but also a series of crimes including arson and murder in the downtown the day before yesterday, I think you probably won't be able to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Norvis made a cold gesture, and the two gendarmes immediately clamped Conrad between him and his right.

"You...... How dare you!" Caught in the air by the burly gendarme, Conrad's face turned pale, and a hoarse voice like a rooster crow was ripped out of his throat. "I'm the Prime Minister's nephew......! You can't do that to me!...... I want to see my uncle! I want to sue him for your rudeness to me! I want him to dismiss you all! No, all of them will be put to death!"

"Take him down. Ignoring Conrad's threat, Norvis nodded, and the two gendarmes disappeared with the screaming Conrad.
