Chapter 105 Sharing Worries
Chief Justice.
The supreme leader of the Tribunal.
It holds real power and has a separation of powers with the President of the Privy Council and the Cabinet Executive. The judiciary, legislature and executive are on par with each other and check and balance each other.
The imperial court controls military power, decision-making power, and the power of appointment and dismissal, and is above all three parties, constraining and balancing them.
When Scarlett heard the word "Justice", her eyes lit up. She suppressed the urge to rush over and cried out tearfully, "Your Honor, I am innocent!"
Davis: “…”
She smiled softly, her gentle face gleaming with light, "Your Highness, there is no need to do this. Just call me Davis."
Scarlett hesitated a little, "That's not good. You are the judge and Mo Ting's mother."
After all, he is my elder, how can I call him by his name?
Davis said, "That's fine. Your Highness is the king, and I am the subject. This is how it should be."
Scarlett is not a stubborn person, so she won't continue to dwell on what the other party said.
Fortunately, all the people in the interstellar world maintained a youthful look no matter how old they were, which made her feel less uncomfortable. She smiled and called out, "Davis."
Davis nodded and replied, "I am here."
Scarlett asked, following Dai Qisi's words, "Did Mo Ting ask you to come see me?"
Dai Qi Si nodded. "Mo Ting heard that His Highness was imprisoned in the Inquisition and was very worried. He specially asked me to come and visit His Highness."
Worry?
Scarlett had reservations about these two words.
In the original plot, the original owner was exiled, and the knife that pierced his heart was stabbed by Mo Ting.
The knife stabbed me through and through.
That scene is chilling just thinking about it.
Scarlett smiled awkwardly, "Really? Thank you for your concern."
Davis's appearance is not absolutely beautiful, but it is not bad either. Her facial features are soft, like a quietly flowing stream in the water town of Jiangnan. Her every frown and smile is full of charm.
She did come to visit Scarlett.
Not only is there Mo Ting's request, but also Sandro's instructions.
Unfortunately, her two children have different goals, and the gap between them is quite large. She couldn't make up her mind for a while, so she decided to wait and see Scarlett first.
Maybe the other party will give her a surprise.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Davis said, "Your Highness, I've read your case file, and it's very unfavorable to you. There's all the witnesses and evidence, and the testimonies are consistent, including the servant you brought with you, whose testimony is similar to the other two. Your Highness needs more compelling evidence to prove you're innocent."
See, this is the real question.
When it cannot be proven that you have committed murder, the word "wrongful" is used, which makes people feel more comfortable.
Scarlett looked at Davis, "Davis, I am indeed wrongly accused. As for evidence, I don't have any. I haven't read the files, and I don't know what they said. Since you know, can I ask you a few questions?"
Davis said, "Of course, Your Highness, please ask."
"Has the body been examined? What were the wounds like? Does the knife in my hand and the way I held it align with the wounds I inflicted? Morton wasn't in the room from the start. How does his confession agree with Hill's? How did he know I was there, how did he arrive just in time to take a picture of me killing someone?"
Davis was stunned. She didn't expect Scarlett to ask so many questions. After a moment's silence, she said, "We've examined the body, and the wounds are consistent. Morton was looking for someone, got the wrong house number, and went into the wrong door, and happened to meet him."
"As for the confession..."
Davis thought for a moment, "He said that before he entered the door, he heard Hill shouting that His Highness had killed someone, and then he pushed the door open and saw His Highness killing someone."
Scarlett asked, "Did you see him, or did you kill him?"
Davis replied: "He has been killed."
"The answer is obvious, isn't it?"
Scarlett smiled. "Morton accidentally broke in and became a witness to my murder. This seems reasonable, but it's full of loopholes. He is the prince and I am the princess. Without me, he would have become the heir to the throne. It's hard not to think that he planned this whole thing and that Hill was his accomplice."
"Or maybe someone wants to use him to get rid of me, and then use my death to get rid of him, killing two birds with one stone and reaping the benefits."
Scarlett's escape route is more than just those seven wanted warrants.
And Gra.
That day, Riley said to her, "Your Highness, you can use Gra without worry. His mind-reading skills will not work on you."
Gra's mind reading is useless to her, so Gra's special ability can become the trigger to incite Hill to take action.
So she takes Guerra to see Christine.
What if, what she saw was not the real Christine.
After Hill copied Gra's superpowers, he would definitely take action against her without any delay.
She just wanted to force Hill to take action, force her to pin the blame of Christine's murder on herself, so that she could use herself as a bait to get others involved in this matter.
Scarlett guessed that Morton was behind Gra.
Now it seems that this guess is correct. With Morton, her safety is more guaranteed.
Davis was very surprised when she heard this. Scarlett elevated the contradiction of this matter to another matter in just a few words. The reason was a bit far-fetched, but not unconvincing.
After recovering from her shock, Davis suppressed the surprise on her face and looked at Scarlett calmly, "Anything else?"
"have."
Scarlett said firmly and confidently, "Resource competition."
…
…
"Resource competition?"
Embeka was fiddling with the black magnet in her hand. This was a new gadget she had acquired. It was said that it could temporarily enhance the black mental power after being opened.
The magnet is the size of a baby's fist and is a naturally formed square. Each side is extremely smooth and has no gaps.
She fumbled with it for the entire afternoon but couldn't open it, not even with her mental power.
When the mood was high, Riley came to ask for a meeting.
She didn't like this son. If it weren't for his good mental level and improvement, she wouldn't have even given him a second glance.
Since she was bored anyway, Emberka let Riley into the study and saw if he could open the magnet. She remembered that Riley's mental power was black.
Riley asked for a meeting not for himself, but for others.
She listened and fiddled with the magnet.
After hearing the end, he finally looked up, glanced at Riley, and said, "Why? You don't want to divorce Scarlett again?"
Riley lowered his eyes. "Mother, now that the competition for resources is imminent, divorce will do more harm than good. I dare not act recklessly."
Embeka laughed and said, "So you want me to save Scarlett? She's a murderer now, imprisoned in the Tribunal, which is not my territory."
Riley said humbly, "Mother, the competition for resources is related to the family's honor. Scarlett is currently imprisoned, and I'm afraid she is also being suppressed by political enemies. We can discuss this matter with other families."
Riley's eyebrows twitched, and his eyelids lifted slightly. "The family behind Hill is the Harlan family. The Harlan family once had a dispute with my mother over the management of Heldo City. If we can use this opportunity to suppress them, my mother's power will be further consolidated."
Hearing this.
Embeka raised her eyebrows and looked at Riley with a look of satisfaction, "Riley, you are indeed my good son. Your mother is very satisfied with your kindness."
She patted Riley's shoulder and said meaningfully, "It's a pity that Mother only has one title, but she has two daughters. If you can win a title for your sister, it will be considered as not letting Mother down for all the love she has shown you, don't you think?"
Riley's eyes flashed with sadness, but a smile was on his face. He nodded heavily, "The son will definitely share his mother's worries."
