"Like every minotaur, he was honest, hardworking, and trustworthy."
"Objection!!!" The prosecution lawyer finally seized the opportunity.
His eyes were red, and he was mooing with all his might, like a bull ready to ram the elf to death in court.
The judge, who had almost become the defendant, asked with a blank expression, "What are you objecting to?"
“I object to his statement that ‘the defendant is an honest and trustworthy minotaur!’ My client told me that he is cunning, treacherous, and despicable…”
"I object," the elf said calmly.
The judge: "..." He had been a judge for forty years and had never been as upset as he was today.
"...What are you objecting to now?" The judge clutched his chest.
The elven lawyer said, "The prosecution's statements involve racial discrimination, racial defamation, and racial..."
The judge was so impressed by this stack of 'races' that he simply banged the gavel and declared: "The defense's objection is valid, and the prosecution's objection is invalid."
The prosecution lawyer looked stunned.
Li Aili saw the bubbles above his head turn into a large herd of alpacas, galloping wildly above him and trampling his sparse hair.
The elven lawyer continued, "I request that our first witness appear in court to testify on my statement just now."
Then, Li Aili saw the lady sitting next to her walk confidently and proudly to the witness stand.
"My name is Leona. Many people should know me. I am a dancer at the 'Wandering Tavern'."
"Today I stand here to reveal a secret of mine, thus proving Mr. Ox Hoof's honesty!"
"I used to be a man! Thanks to the 'hair growth potion' that Mr. Ba Jin sold me, I was able to become a real woman as I wished!"
Li Aili: "..." I've heard so much about you.
The courtroom was deathly silent, except for the composed elf lawyer.
Li Aili thought she heard a 'crashing' sound, but what was that sound?
It turns out it was everyone's values, and also the 'hearts' of the eight jurors.
The elven lawyer flipped through the case file in his hand. "Judge, I need to invite a second key witness to testify..."
The judge clutched his chest, "No need, no need! I believe you."
The elf continued, "Then, the Duchess was also present on the day of the incident. I request that the Duchess appear in court to testify."
"Objection! Objection! I object!" The prosecution lawyer had gone mad.
The judge, his face ashen, slammed his gavel down. "Your objection, prosecution attorney."
"This alchemy shop is owned by the Duchess! She's the owner! She's the Duchess, and her testimony..."
"I object," the elf said calmly.
Li Aili: "..." She was anxious for the prosecution lawyer and really wanted to hear him finish speaking.
The judge closed his eyes, clutched his chest, and turned to say something to the court assistant beside him.
The court assistant hurriedly ran out of the courtroom, then returned shortly after, handing the Chief Justice a bottle of holy water. The judge tilted his head back and gulped down the holy water, only then did his ashen face soften slightly.
Then, a bubble appeared above his head: [5000 gold coins! 5000! Damn black market! Damn heartless Holy See!]
Li Aili: "…………" After the lawsuit is over, should I let the minotaur try to sell her healing potion to this person?
The elves seemed quite accustomed to judges taking drugs in court.
After the judge finished taking his medicine, he calmly said, "There is no law in the Kingdom's Constitution that stipulates that a boss cannot provide a certificate for his employees."
In particular, the plaintiffs are suing my clients, not the Duchess.
"Do they dare? Huh? I'm asking you, do they dare sue the Duke's wife in the Cold Emerald Duchy??"
Li Aili watched as the prosecution lawyer, clinging to the table and practically about to collapse onto the defense attorney's seat to challenge the elf to a real-life duel, was about to do so without his two assistants holding him back...
This was the first time she had ever sympathized with the enemy, truly.
The elf lowered his eyes to look at the case file. "Your Honor, the prosecution lawyer just now allegedly accused the Duke's supreme ruler of harboring a criminal and dereliction of duty..."
The judge's face turned green.
The prosecution lawyer's face turned purple. "I didn't! I didn't!!! Don't talk nonsense!"
The elf tilted her head slightly. "So the reason you opposed the Duchess just now was..."
Two minutes later, Li Aili stood in the witness stand.
Silence is the judge of today, and collapse is the prosecutor's lawyer.
This was the first time Li Aili had stood in the witness stand.
The elf asked, "Were you present on the day of the incident, and did you hear Ba Jin Niu Tizi explain the defects of the product to the plaintiffs?"
"Uh, yes."
Li Aili emphasized, "When they left, I specifically pointed out the problem with this product."
The elf nodded. "So, they knew the goods they bought were defective, yet they still chose to continue this adventure?"
Li Aili: "Yes."
"That's all, madam. Thank you for your cooperation."
Two witnesses, a few objections.
The prosecution lawyer was carried out of the courtroom on a stretcher.
Because the prosecution's lawyer was absent, the court decided to reschedule the hearing for another day.
However, at this moment, the elf calmly and composedly said, "I object."
Judge:"……"
He looked at the hammer in his hand, then at the elf, then threw down the hammer and walked away.
Ten minutes later, another young judge rushed in and took his seat at the judge's bench.
"Chief Justice de Gaulle suffered a sudden heart attack and coughed, so he went home to recuperate. Now I'm taking over this case."
