This is the first time Charlotte has seen so many nobles of the kingdom.
In the entire venue, there were more than 600 nobles participating in the meeting, all of whom were fiefdom nobles directly under the kingdom and palace nobles without fiefdoms.
Charlotte also felt the details of the Crescent Kingdom for the first time.
The more than 600 nobles of the kingdom who participated in the meeting were all extraordinary people, and the weakest ones included Fanxing. Most of them were at the Silver Moon level. From the aura induction alone, there were probably more than 70 people in Blazing Sun.
On top of this, there are three more auras that make Charlotte feel quite dangerous.
That's legendary.
Among them, one legend is the third Duke of Sibwater, while the other two are a marquis and a court noble.
Among the three legends, Duke Boit sat on the ducal throne, while the other two legends did not take their seats, but sat in separate seats on the side of the venue.
It was a seat belonging to legends, and it also contained the seat of Duke Boit, but this Duke obviously valued his status as a duke more than his status as a legend.
Charlotte noticed that there were four seats reserved for legends. Except for the Duke of Boit, one was empty. He probably did not come to the meeting. He was probably the chief of Crescent Moon who was rumored to be obsessed with magic research. Master Engelhardt.
When Louis V and the New Moon Grand Priest entered the venue, all the nobles stood up and saluted the two men:
"Your Majesty...His Excellency the Chief Priest..."
"Your Majesty...His Excellency the Chief Priest..."
"..."
Charlotte also followed the others and quietly looked at the king on the high platform.
Crescent King Louis V is an old man who looks extremely majestic.
He was wearing a luxurious royal robe, and his golden crown shone brightly under the crystal lamp. His long curly gray hair made him look a little more rugged and bold.
Although there is an aging look between his brows and eyes, his pair of black eyes hide a sharp light.
When his gaze swept across the venue, everyone unconsciously became quiet, and no one dared to look at him.
She didn't know if it was Charlotte's illusion, but she felt that Louis V seemed to pause slightly when his eyes glanced at her, but he quickly continued.
"Everyone, take a seat."
Louis V nodded to everyone.
The king took the seat first, followed by the Duke and the Legend. After the Duke and the Legend sat down, the remaining nobles took their seats again.
After the sound of chairs moving, the venue became quiet again.
Louis V's eyes swept across the audience again, and an old and majestic voice sounded:
"It's almost time, An Luoqing, let's get started."
After receiving the instructions from Louis V, Duke Yuehu stood up and saluted to accept the order.
He climbed onto the high platform, sat on the seat belonging to the speaker, and said in a solemn voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. I am the 39th Speaker of the Kingdom's Central Conference, John de Angelo, the Guardian Duke of the Moon."
"This central meeting of the Kingdom is a temporary meeting of the 83rd session of the Kingdom. It was proposed by the Duke of Aurore and passed after emergency deliberation by the cabinet."
"The theme of this meeting is the joint trial of the nobles of the third prince of the Crescent Moon, His Excellency Philippe de Valva. His Excellency Philippe de Valva is suspected of colluding with the Blood Demon Order and blatantly violating the "Holy Code" and the Kingdom's "Kingdom Contract" , According to Article 18 of Chapter 9 of the Sacred Code, the Parliament of Nobles has the right to conduct a joint trial and judgment of the nobility against the third prince of the Crescent Moon, Philippe de Valva..."
After saying that, Duke Yuehu paused and said:
"Bring up Monsignor Philippe de Valva."
Soon, the heavily armed royal knights brought up the third prince Philip, who had imprisoned extraordinary power.
This is the second time Charlotte has met the third prince Philip.
Compared to the high-spirited first time, he looked much sluggish and thinner at this moment, and he was also a little lost.
His hair was messy and his eyes were a little dull. It wasn't until he passed Charlotte that he regained some clarity. His eyes instantly burst into anger, and his whole body stopped subconsciously.
"Charlotte... de Castres!"
He almost gritted his teeth.
Charlotte frowned slightly.
However, he ignored him.
"Take His Excellency Philippe de Valva, this is the Central Council, please be silent."
Duke Yuehu frowned slightly and said solemnly.
The third prince, Philippe, glared angrily and wanted to say something, but after taking a look at Louis V who could not see his emotions clearly on the stage, he finally endured it.
Duke Yuehu didn't take the third prince's malicious gaze into consideration at all.
After the opponent was forced into the trial seat by the royal knights, he picked up the gavel and knocked on the table:
"The suspect is already in place, so... I now announce that the joint trial of the nobles of Crescent Prince Philippe de Valva... will begin now!"
…
This is Charlotte's first time to participate in the joint trial of the Crescent Kingdom's nobles.
After announcing the start of the trial, Duke Yuehu took out the parchment and read out every piece of incriminating evidence about the third prince listed by the noble council.
Seizing noble property, violating the royal contract, colluding with the Blood Demon Order, subverting the kingdom's political power, abusing blood-related nobles, murdering the kingdom's vassals, desecrating sacred marriages, buying and selling women and children...
One by one, there are countless crimes, more and more serious than Charlotte imagined.
The nobles have obviously prepared a wealth of materials. Every charge is accompanied by a large amount of evidence, and there are even witnesses present to prove it.
Charlotte thought she would be asked to testify about something, but as it turned out, she didn't even need to step down.
Not only that, some of the incriminating evidence prepared by the nobles even made Charlotte smack her lips.
For example, he abused blood-related nobles and murdered the kingdom's vassals. Some nobles actually accused that the third prince Philip not only abused his wife, but also abused his half-sister, Princess Margaret of the Crescent Kingdom, which even directly led to his eventual depression. suicide.
Charlotte was stunned by this unexpected melon.
As far as she knew, there was indeed a princess named Margaret in the Crescent Kingdom. She was just a maid and was not valued by the king. She died of illness before she was fourteen years old.
I never expected that there would be such a secret!
Although there is no evidence that this accusation can completely kill the third prince, the breaking news is enough to make the nobles in the entire council hall talk about it.
When the melon burst out, Charlotte noticed that Louis V's face turned dark on the high platform, and the look he looked at the third prince was frighteningly gloomy.
As for the murder of the kingdom's vassals, the crime was equally serious.
Because the noble accused the third prince of murdering none other than one of the nine great dukes of the kingdom, the former Duke of Bold!
As soon as this accusation came out, the entire venue was about to explode.
If it were just to murder a vassal of the kingdom, although it would arouse the anger of the nobles, it would not be such an explosion.
The key is that the third prince stacks too many buffs.
First of all, he is a royal family himself, and murdering vassals by the royal family is a taboo for tyrants.
Furthermore, what he murdered was not just ordinary vassals, but the great nobles of the kingdom, and he was also a hero who had made great contributions in the Star-Moon War.
Secondly, the nobleman is also his father-in-law, and the heir to the title is his wife.
In the end, his wife was also abused by him and was even suspected of being forced to kill...
The Shin·Isekai version is extremely popular, and it’s also the buff Jenga version.
When these accusations were announced, the entire venue erupted, and some angry nobles even cursed and spat.
On the high platform, Louis V's gaze became even more depressed. Even the air pressure near the high platform seemed to be much lower. The nobles nearby did not dare to let out their breath. It was depressing, like the calm before the storm.
Listening to the insults from the nobles below and looking at Louis V's increasingly cold eyes, the third prince Philip finally panicked:
"No! No! This is slander! These charges are all slander!"
As he spoke, he seemed to have remembered something. He looked at Eleanor below and said sternly:
"Eleanor! Tell them, this is all slander! I have never abused you! Nor have I ever abused Margaret! Nor have I murdered the Duke!"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Eleanor.
"Dong——"
Duke Yuehu banged the gavel and said solemnly:
"Your Excellency Philippe de Valva, according to the accusations, you are suspected of psychological manipulation of His Excellency Eleanor de Bold, Duke of Bold."
"According to the regulations, any exculpatory testimony given by Eleanor about you will be considered invalid at this meeting."
After hearing what Duke Yuehu said, the third prince's eyes widened, and then he cursed angrily:
"John de Angelo! You are a traitor to the royal family! You eat the shit out of everything! Have you forgotten what your clan is?"
After hearing the third prince's insults, Duke Yuehu frowned slightly.
However, before he could say anything, an angry shout came from the high platform:
"Asshole! Shut up!"
The vast and terrifying coercion came from the high platform, wrapped in monstrous anger, sweeping everything in an instant.
For a moment, the venue fell into silence.
The nobles kept silent one after another, and did not dare to express their anger. Each one of them turned pale under the terrifying pressure.
Only a few legends were relatively calm.
With the power of blood, Charlotte was actually okay. Although she felt the pressure was terrifying, she could still bear it.
However, she also imitated other nobles to look shocked.
It was King Louis V who spoke.
At that angry shout, the third prince's face turned pale, his legs trembled, and his whole body collapsed.
If the royal knights hadn't restrained him forcefully, he might have been unable to stand.
The pressure slowly subsided, Louis V gave him a cold look, and then said calmly:
"continue."
Duke Yuehu swallowed, then sighed and said seriously:
"Your Excellency Philip, of course I know my last name. The Anluo family is a branch of the Valva family. It is naturally my duty to maintain the glory of the Valva family."
"No one can desecrate the honor of the royal family, even you, as a prince!"
As he spoke, he paused and looked at the nobles below:
"So... regarding the charges against the third prince Philippe de Valva, please..."
"I can vouch for that."
Before Duke Yuehu finished speaking, he was interrupted by another voice.
It's Eleanor.
For a moment, the nobles' eyes focused on the duchess again.
Duke Yuehu hesitated for a moment and said:
"Mr. Bold, when you say testify, you mean..."
Eleanor stood up, looked at the third prince with coldness and disgust, and said:
"I can testify that I was indeed abused by Philip. At the same time, Princess Margaret was also bullied by him during her lifetime."
"Not only that, he seizes noble property, colludes with the Blood Demon Order, traffics people, kills civilians... I can testify."
After hearing Eleanor's words, the third prince's eyes widened and he roared angrily:
"Eleanor! You bitch! Traitor!"
"quiet!"
Duke Yuehu shouted.
He glanced at the royal knights, who quickly used magic to control the third prince so that he could no longer speak.
Then, Duke Yuehu said to Eleanor:
"Your Excellency, any trial at the Central Conference must have evidence. Do you have any definite evidence?"
Eleanor nodded:
"I do. But... before I testify, I have a question that I want to understand."
"Please tell me."
"I want to know how my father... died."
Duke Yuehu sighed:
"Of course. According to the witnesses we obtained, your father was poisoned by Sir Philip."
"The witness was the maid of the old Duke. She personally participated in the conspiracy. She fled Bold because she was afraid of being silenced. She was eventually rescued by a noble during the pursuit."
After listening to Duke Yuehu's words, Eleanor fell silent.
After a long time, she nodded:
"I see."
She glanced at the third prince who looked dull and pale, and then gently opened her clothes, revealing criss-cross scars.
Seeing the hideous scar, the nobles started talking and fell into commotion again.
Eleanor looked calm:
"Then... let's talk about it one by one. Let's start with the third prince's abuse of me..."
…
The third prince is finished.
It's really over.
The moment Eleanor chose to become a witness, it meant he was completely finished.
Eleanor was the object of long-term abuse by the third prince.
But she is also the wife of the third prince.
She has witnessed the Third Prince's many evil deeds, and once she chooses to stand up, she can send him to hell.
Eleanor listed the various evidence of the third prince's crimes one by one in a clear and logical manner.
Listening to her shocking story, the nobles looked at the third prince with more and more disgust.
And when Eleanor exposed all the evil deeds of the third prince one by one, an hour had passed.
The venue fell into silence again.
There is no need to continue collecting evidence.
Because all kinds of evidence are enough.
Duke Yuehuang banged the gavel again and said in a deep voice:
"The testimony is over, then... let's ask the Central Conference Jury to try Philippe de Valva on the charges!"
After finishing speaking, the review group composed of the kingdom's cabinet ministers and the dukes and lords began to discuss in a low voice. After a while, the drafted trial book was submitted to Duke Yuehu.
Duke Yuehu took one look at it and presented it to King Louis V respectfully.
Louis V glanced at it, frowned slightly, then took the quill pen and revised it a few times, and handed it back to Duke Yuehu.
Looking at the king's revised verdict, Duke Yuehu widened his eyes and looked hesitant:
"Your Majesty...this..."
"read."
Louis V said coldly.
Duke Yuehu swallowed his saliva, bit the bullet and said:
"After investigation, the third prince of the Crescent Moon, Philippe de Valva, seizes noble property, violates the royal contract, colludes with the Blood Demon Order, subverts the kingdom's political power, tortures blood-related nobles, murders the kingdom's vassals, desecrates sacred marriages, and buys and sells free people and free people. The local nobles…the evidence is conclusive.”
"In accordance with the provisions of the Sacred Code and the Royal Contract, after a joint trial by the Central Council Jury and the Crescent King Louis de Valva, the third prince, Philippe de Valva, was sentenced to——"
"Hanging!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire council hall fell into silence. All the nobles looked at the calm-looking His Majesty the King on the high platform in shock, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Phillip's eyes widened, and the color completely faded from his face.
He trembled, then tilted his neck and fainted.
