Thunder: "We've been interrogating them all night, and nobody's said a word?"
Joyce: "Only these few lackeys confessed. The Queen gave me a lot of compensation and told me not to make a fuss. They probably won't be tried very severely."
An Ning: "Why? This is treason. According to the law, it's punishable by hanging."
Joyce: "The Queen said that the royal family's reputation was just starting to improve, and they couldn't act rashly, so she spared their lives to continue working for the royal family."
Thunder: "That's too lenient. What if they turn around and continue to harm people?"
Joyce: "They don't have the ability anymore. Oh, the criminals are here. We'll hear the trial soon. Allen, don't get into a conflict with Mr. Newspo. Listen to me, go to my castle. Gals will also help you persuade your father."
After the criminals entered, the nobles sat upright in their chairs without saying a word. As expected of Joyce, who was deeply favored by the Queen, her family sat directly at the very top of the audience, just one step below Gals.
Rabelle and Noah blew each other a kiss; the two little ones are really good friends. With Joyce's help, Allen and Liao Qian were less nervous and held hands as they watched the hundreds of members of the Zeus family, young and old, enter the courtroom.
Noah saw Charlotte. Charlotte was so young, yet she was still handcuffed. Even in handcuffs, she didn't forget to glare at Rabelle. Rabelle ran down and grabbed Noah's hand, showing her defiance.
Lucy picked up Rabelle and Noah. Charlotte gritted her teeth and looked at Rabelle. Charlotte's parents lowered their heads and didn't speak, nor did they look up at the nobles. The once glorious Zeus family, regardless of age or gender, was now standing in the hall in handcuffs, awaiting trial. An Yang saw Qi Lier, and Qi Lier lowered her head in shame when she saw him.
A procession of honor arrived at the gate, with dozens of people escorting one person. Anning recognized Prince Xiao Ya from the ruby cherry embedded in his scepter.
An Ning: "Thunder, look, Prince Xiao Ya is here."
Thunder: "The prince of Cherry Kingdom is a big fat man. He looks nothing like my brother-in-law."
An Yang: "Brother-in-law, be quiet."
Thunder: "They won't let me speak, fine, I'll shut up."
After Prince Xiao Ya entered, he walked to Qi Li'er's side and tenderly stroked her handcuffed hands. Qi Li'er did not look at him, but Prince Xiao Ya looked at her with a pained expression.
Mr. Newsport and Garth finished tidying up the documents, waved their hands, and the courtroom doors closed. All the nobles were completely silent; if a pin were to fall in that large room, the sound would pierce your ears.
Before Mr. Newsport could speak, Prince Xiaoya raised his scepter and addressed Gals in the judge's seat: "Gals, I met with the Queen before I came here and learned the details of the matter. I request that Kiriel's handcuffs be removed. She is my queen, and I want to preserve my queen's dignity."
Gals: "Prince Xiaoya, princes are subject to the same laws as commoners. Please do as Qilier did last night and do not protect a sinner."
Xiao Ya: "She is my wife, and she is not a sinner to me."
Gals: "It is now the time for the trial at the Royal Court of Northern Ireland. I, in my capacity as the Duke of Northern Ireland, will try any criminal in the Zeus family. I ask for the cooperation of Prince Xiaoya."
Frustrated by the rejection, Prince Xiao Ya walked to the guest area and sat down. He looked at Qi Li'er, who was handcuffed, with heartache. Qi Li'er still didn't look at him. The True Love F4 thought, "She's quite the romantic."
An Yang listened quietly to Xiao Ya's words and nodded gently with relief. With Prince Xiao Ya around, Qi Li'er would not die, and Prince Xiao Ya would not make things difficult for her in the future.
Seeing that Prince Xiaoya had quieted down, Gals began to read the document in her hand.
Gals: "Today, at the Queen's behest, I am going to try the traitors of the Northern Patriots. By God's grace, the Queen is willing to preserve the last shred of dignity for the Zeus family. This trial will be conducted in secret, and no one among the nobles present is to disclose anything that happens in court today. All interpretations will be subject to the announcements made by the Royal Family on social media."
The nobles nodded, Gals sat down, and Mr. Newsport stood up, holding the documents, and said to the Zeus councilor below the stage: "Zeus, you have the right to request a defense, and the Queen will hear your trial and punish you accordingly."
Zeus shouted at Newspeare, "Where is the Queen?"
Anna: "I'm handling government affairs."
Queen Anna's voice rang out from above, and the numerous cameras in the courtroom made it clear to Senator Zeus that the Queen did not wish to see him, but only to listen to his defense through surveillance.
Zeus: "I request that my lawyer Jim represent me in court."
Gals: "Zeus, lawyer Jim committed suicide at home last night."
Zeus: "What? Coward, a coward."
Gals: "Zeus, please be quiet. Do you need to apply for other workers for your defense?"
Zeus: "No need, I will defend myself."
Gals: "Below..."
Xiao Ya: "Gallis, wait a moment. I've brought our country's lawyers to defend Qilier."
Gals: "Prince Xiao Ya, the lawyers in the Royal Court can only be citizens of their own country. It is true that Qi Li'er is your princess, but she committed a crime in the Northern Patriotic Kingdom and was tried in the Northern Patriotic Kingdom's Royal Court. Only lawyers from the Northern Patriotic Kingdom are allowed to defend her. This rule was passed down from the Cherry Kingdom's Royal Court."
Xiao Ya: "Hmph..."
Xiao Ya angrily overturned the table in front of her. An Ning told Liao Qianlei that many years ago, a girl from the Northern Country was assaulted by guards from the Cherry Country. The Cherry Country kept delaying a resolution to the conflict, almost causing international repercussions.
The royal family of Northern Ireland intervened to seek justice for her, and the guard was tried in the Cherry Kingdom's royal court. Cherry Kingdom amended its laws overnight, stipulating that only lawyers from its own country could defend the plaintiff and defendant in the royal court.
