Chapter 456
Imperial Capital Sky Dome, noon.
Although it’s a place where he grew up, Brandon has never felt comfortable here—too huge and spacious, in order to meet the Desalion family, or that of the Sacland people. This kind of "simple" aesthetic, square standard specifications, can't wait for everything in each room to be absolutely symmetrical.
Compared with the mausoleum-like sky palace, the Imperial Family palace built by successive emperors is more distinctive, and you can also see the characteristics of each generation and the trend of the time... such as the tenth generation of Charlotte The Queen's Summer Twilight Garden.
Not only that, except for the palace, the house of nobility and the imperial cabinet, there are not even a few truly decent palaces in the entire Celestial Dome, all of which are towers like fortresses, standing in the gentle Golovin. The top of the hill.
Among them is the "office" of the royal justice.
"Victor Uncle, are you looking for me?"
With a child-like smile on the corner of his mouth, Brandon, who walked into the room, sat down unceremoniously and pointed at The middle-aged man behind the table blinked.
Faced with the "enthusiasm" of His Royal Highness, Victor Hugh did not make any response. He still buried himself on the desk. The white quill was waved on the parchment exuding the primitive fragrance, and it was very comfortable. the sound of.
His Royal Highness, who was ignored, had no dissatisfaction, with his hands on his knees, sitting on the chair obediently and honestly and waiting patiently.
This "good child" face made Victor Hugh's expression a little distorted, but the quill in his hand still didn't stop, and it was over five hundred words in a moment. After the narrative of the case was written, he solemnly signed his name.
In the past, judges would affix a private seal after writing to show their approval, but Victor Seuss from the commoner background has a rare good handwriting. The sharp handwriting cannot be forged by others. Even if it is a whole day of reviewing the handwriting, there will be no scribbles at all.
"Pretty!"
Brandon's heartfelt compliments-if there is one word in the entire Sacrament Empire, it must be the one in front of you.
Just and strict, but not rigid, and consistent and never easily changed, Victor Hughes' handwriting is almost a portrayal of his handwriting.
The former royal justice was still expressionless. He looked at His Royal Highness, who looked like an innocent and childlike person, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly again inadvertently.
He has not forgotten how much trouble he had taken care of for Brandon, especially the time he almost sent an heir to the empire count to heaven. The expression of harmless to human and animals seemed to him. It's the smile of the devil...
The Holy Cross is here, why does your majesty have such a son? !
"Your Highness, I came to you today because of a very important thing." Victor stiffly opened the mouth and said: "Your wizard consultant Loren Torino, go privately to the black jail and someone Do you know about the meeting with felons?"
"Oh, of course." Brandon was very well-behaved and nodded: "Lusac Kovo, right? His son came to Loren. I saw him when I was in, what's wrong?"
"Can you tell me what you think?"
"That's too much trouble, just point it Come on." Brandon raised the corner of his mouth and proposed: "What you really want to know is whether this matter was my instruction or Loren Torino's private decision. Am I right?"
"I didn't say that."
Victor's expression is still serious: "But you can answer like that."
"I know about it, but I didn't participate "Brandon spread his hands, as it should be by rights:
"This is my answer."
"Your answer?" Victor deliberately repeated Once again, he shook his head slightly: "But many people don't think so. They will think that you are instructing your wizard consultant behind your back to accomplish your ulterior purpose."
"Oh, is that right? "
"Interfering with justice, provoking the court and even the Royal Cabinet, even the Imperial Family is an inexcusable felony!" Victor increased his tone:
"Brandon De Your Royal Highness Salion, do you really know what you are doing?"
The royal justice put down the feather pen in his hand and sighed softly.
If he can, he really doesn't want to talk to Brandon, but the prince has already touched his bottom line-he will never tolerate unauthorized investigations, private collusion and even interference in justice.
The most important point is that once an Imperial Family like Brandon is directly involved in the case of Siscott’s murder, the originally messy murder case will quickly evolve into a struggle between several forces. Contest.
Turning cases and courts into a "fighting arena" of interests and struggles will cause unavoidable damage to the judicial system of the empire.
Such a pioneer must never be opened!
"Actually, I know exactly what I am doing." Brandon spoke slowly:
"But Victor Uncle, do you really know what you are doing?"
The royal justice frowned slightly, with a bad expression.
"I know that you haven’t started a formal interrogation from the time of the case to the present, just to protect the justice of the imperial law; you know that once the case begins, either the Charn family will retaliate, or you will be retaliated by someone. Take advantage."
"In short, some guys will definitely jump out to interfere with your judgment."
Brandon smiled solemnly: "Your attention to legal justice is admirable. …But, don’t you care about the truth at all?"
"The truth?" Victor's tone was mocking: "What is the truth?"
"His Royal Highness, we are not Holy Cross, there is no eye that can see through everything! We are always impossible to know what happened that night-all we can do is to find the right balance among the very limited facts."
"That is justice, that is the law of the empire!"
"But if there is no truth, what is the meaning of so-called'justice'?" Brandon still smiled and asked:
"If we just look at the things in front of us, if it doesn't matter even the truth, what should we believe...is fairness and justice in exchange for praying to the Holy Cross?"
"Victor Uncle , I respect you very much-not because of your good handwriting, but because you can still maintain yourself in front of my eternally bright, great and correct Imperial Father, in front of those wealthy aristocrats, and never compromise; only Only people like you can withstand tremendous pressure to safeguard the justice and law of the Sackland Empire."
"Please do not let law and justice become a tool of interest for maintaining the stability of the empire. "
"That will only disappoint those who once trusted and admired you!"
With a long sigh, Brandon stopped talking and sat in the chair High Level waits for the royal justice before him to make his final decision.
Close his eyes, Victor Seuss seemed to be lost in thought.
After a long time of silence, the justice with complex eyes lifts the head: "You just believe your wizard consultant, and you can find the truth behind this incident and enough evidence for Lussac Kovo Reverse the case?"
Brandon Child’s angry face showed a sunny smile:
"If he can discover the secret of vampire in Wimpal, catch the nobleman in Deep Limburg The evidence of the rebellion, the conspiracy of the Holy Blood Potion and the Bellini family was dug up in Eboden..."
"Yes, I 100% believe that Loren Torino can find the truth."
"And besides him, there is no other person who can do this!"
Victor finally frowned, as if thinking about the pros and cons of the two things, staring thoughtfully. There are indeed many very obvious points in the case narrative on the book case.
Of course, he knew something was strange, and he didn't want to investigate it, but he was worried that too much involvement would cause a series of fluctuations.
The death of an imperial minister is dangerous enough.
"One month." Victor suddenly opened the mouth and said.
"Huh?"
"From the time of the incident, the latest trial time is one month later. Two days have passed and twenty-eight days have passed." The Chief Justice His tone is solemn and resolute:
"After that, I must give your majesty and the empire an explanation."
"If Loren · Torino can find evidence before then to overthrow the existing The trial...I won’t ask again."
"But before that, in order to avoid suspicion, you must also take the initiative to avoid half a step away from the sky, and cut off all relations with this matter, can you?"

"Of course, no problem!"
"Then please do me a favor, can I?"
"Yes, please tell me! "
"Get out!"
