(Chapter 57) Karl's Redemption (Ask for Follow-up~)
In the solemn courtroom, a trial for a person who has committed a serious crime is underway, and the judgment hall, which is large enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people, is full at the moment.
In the judge's seat, an old man stared at the young man tied to the judgment chair with sword-like eyes, and then heard a majestic voice echo in the judgment hall.
"Carl Franz! You are guilty! ”
The moment they heard this name, the crowd that was still whispering instantly closed their mouths, and then tens of thousands of eyes in the hall focused on the young man covered in bruises.
According to the Clun family's complaint, the young man named Carl killed his own commander during a recent operation against the Tyranids.
Goering, the eldest son of the Clun family.
At the same time, some of the generals and soldiers involved in the operation also volunteered to stand up, complaining that it was Karl's repeated overstepping command that caused the fleet to suffer from the Zerg ambush, and he had to take responsibility for the loss of 130 million Emma soldiers and more than 400 warships.
In the face of the Inquisitor's questioning, Karl's brain only felt blank, he was exhausted by the past few days of interrogation, and the Inquisitors had tried all means to get him to confess, but they still couldn't pry his mouth open.
For a moment, under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, Karl shook his head with all his might, as a way to express his dissatisfaction with the trial.
Seeing that the other party was still holding on, the inquisitor didn't talk nonsense, and soon with bursts of strong electricity passing through Carl's body, he finally shouted out after he had been silent.
His mournful wail echoed in the sacred and solemn hall, and those who listened to it felt a panic in their hearts, and at this moment, under the gaze of tens of thousands of eyes, Karl's inner defense finally wavered.
The people here don't care about the dignity and glory he defends, no one wants to help them, and it is better to seek a good ...... than to suffer endless torture and humiliation like this
As if to see the wavering in his heart, the inquisitor asked in a calm tone after the electric shock had ended.
"Carl, I'll ask you again now, are you ready to confess?"
"I ......"
But just when it all seemed like the dust was about to settle.
"Who gave you permission to do this?"
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from a distance, and people followed the sound to see the princess Clara and her royal guards appear in front of the door of the Hall of Judgment.
Under the surprised gaze of the people, the princess strode in front of Karl.
Looking at the girl in a gilded robe who appeared in the center of the hall, the old inquisitor on the stage said unhurriedly, his eyes somewhat complicated.
"Your Highness Clara, we are just doing the normal trial work of the sinner Karl."
Hearing this, Clara looked disdainful, and the power armor-clad guards behind her had torn off the chains that bound Carl and lifted him up from the judgment chair.
"Heh, you call it your job to frame the heroes of the Empire?"
As the words fell, she looked up and nodded to the other guard beside her, and soon a noisy and chaotic recording was played in the quiet hall of the adjudication.
In the presence of the members of the Crane family, the tens of thousands of people present clearly heard Goering's voice, heard the whole process of his order, and heard his shameless request to give up the fleet and flee for his life alone.
Obviously, it was a recording of the command at the scene of the bridge, and the contents of it made the judge on the stage very nervous, and he remembered that the evidence should have been erased.
For a moment, the air at the scene was as silent as death, and someone saw that the eyes of the members of the Crane family flashed with rage, staring at the delicate princess.
"If I need evidence, I have a lot more here, whether it is human or material evidence, I have 10,000 ways to prove Karl's innocence, and his exploits in leading the fleet to break through the siege in times of crisis."
"In addition, I would like to ask the Inquisitor to tell me what a commander who disturbs the morale of the army and tries to abandon his subordinates alone, and even before the battle, has a great deal of love with his maids, and finally causes heavy losses due to his own incompetence!"
After that, I saw Clara's eyes indifferently glancing at the head of the Crane family on the side, not paying any attention to the other party's fierce gaze.
......
......
It smells so good...... What does it taste like......
I don't know how long later, when Carl gradually woke up from his fainting, the gentle breath like a lily was slowly burrowing into his nose.
As he opened his eyes, there was a warm bedroom in front of him, and before Carl could recover his senses, a gentle and pleasant voice like a silver bell came to his ears.
"Are you feeling better?"
Following the voice, he saw a thin figure sitting in the chair next to the bed, and when he saw the other person's face clearly, his originally drowsy brain instantly woke up.
"Her Royal Highness Clara......"
The man was actually the princess, and she was looking at her with the book in her hand spread on her knees, and she was looking at her with her amber pupils with a gentle smile on her face, and the long pale blonde hair behind her made her look so noble.
"Don't worry, I can understand what you've been through, just leave the rest to me, and I'll get justice for you."
As she spoke, Clara picked up the heavy book and jumped out of her large chair, and slowly walked over to Carl's side.
"Take good care of your injuries, and I hope you can become my strength in the future."
Listening to the gentle voice and looking at the beautiful face that was close at hand, the princess in front of him was even more dazzling than the goddess at that moment, which made Carl deeply moved......
In a moment, as Clara walked out of the room, the elderly assistant outside the door had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Highness Clara, according to the emissary, the fleet of the Mir Confederation has sailed into the territory of the Saxons, and if nothing else, war is about to break out, and now both sides have sent emissaries."
In the face of the old man's report, Clara's face did not change, the inexplicable appearance of the swarm, the dispute between the members of the galaxy community, and the internal crisis that the Emma empire was about to face.
Clara is aware that the Milky Way is no longer tranquil, and that the peaceful scene created by the community in the past is now gradually disintegrating due to more and more irreconcilable contradictions.
I'm afraid that it won't be long before this universe will return to its chaotic and dark appearance, so Clara knows that she needs to prepare as soon as possible.
"What about my useless mother? Are you still pretending to be sick? ”
Hearing Clara's inquiry, the old man just nodded calmly.
"Forget it...... Let her go......"
"Prepare a few clippers for me, and have the ability to act stealthily."
"By the way, bring me the two technology templates in the Imperial Library."
For such a request, the old man felt a little confused.
"Where are you going?"
"Fourth Sector, I'm going to try to visit the masters there and see what their attitude is."
As the words fell, it seemed that something had been thought.
"Also, take care of Mr. Karl."
As she spoke, Clara raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
"I like that guy a lot, I believe he will become an obedient and good dog in the future~"
