Today is a lively day in the British city.
But the excitement belongs to the people of the British city and has nothing to do with Knock and Seager.
The two people who had been sitting in the dungeon, ignoring each other, closed their eyes and meditated.
To be precise, it was Nok who closed his eyes and rested his mind.
Sig was silent, thinking about how to help his son escape the crime, and had no time to pay attention to the outside world.
Until nightfall, the elderly guard brought dinner for the two of them.
"Sorry, dinner is late because I have to wait for Leon to wake up and buy food."
The older guard apologized and put the tray of food into the cell.
"If you have any other instructions, just say hello. By the way, my name is Jack."
Nok glanced at the food on the tray, four white breads, a pot of water or soup, and two earthenware bowls.
The food is average, but as a prisoner, the treatment is definitely good.
A real prisoner probably wouldn't even be able to eat brown bread.
"Okay, you don't have to come down anymore except to deliver food. As long as you don't provoke us, we won't cause any trouble for you."
Nok was too lazy to waste time on the two guards. The two bronze-level guards were probably thrown over to guard them without knowing anything. Otherwise, the young man would not have dared to attack Nok.
When Jack heard this, he quickly left.
Back upstairs, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the two below are not as difficult as the one above.
When Leon woke up, he angrily wanted to go down and take revenge.
Jack had no choice but to beat Leon directly before telling him his speculation.
After learning that the following two people were probably the ones he could not afford to offend, Leon was livid.
Although he doubted whether Jack was lying, he still listened to Jack's advice.
Anyway, it is not their job to guard prisoners. They are the Queen's bodyguards. They can be temporarily transferred for a few days without any problem. They cannot stay here forever.
In this way, the four people who reached a consensus spent two days in peace.
until……
In the afternoon of the third day, while studying the rags taken from Althanos, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs.
He put away the rag in confusion and looked at the stairs.
Zola's figure appeared at the top of the stairs, which not only did not relieve Nokk, but made him even more confused.
Zola never showed up during the two days they were locked up.
Nok thought Zola had returned to the palace, but after asking Jack, he found out that Zora had been in the master bedroom of the house, lying on a cradle made of vines, and had not moved.
But she showed up today, and this was very wrong.
"You came."
"Hmm. What's wrong with him? He looks very lethargic."
"It's been like this since the day he was locked up. He is probably worried about his son."
"Well, there's no use worrying. In the afternoon, the public trial of Sherlock Holmes' awakening will be held in the High Court."
Sig, who had been ignoring the conversation between Zola and Nok, finally reacted when he heard "Holmes".
He sat up suddenly, his eyes fixed on Zola.
"No! They can't treat my son like this! My son is innocent!"
Looking at the roaring Sig, Nok wanted to say to Sig: In fact, your son is not as innocent as you think.
Nock didn't want to add fuel to the fire, though.
He looked at Zola and said, "What about us two? What is she going to do with us?"
Zora understood who Nok's "she" was referring to.
"Elizabeth didn't say anything, nor did she mention you two in parliament. But based on what I know about her, she probably wants to wait until Sherlock Holmes' trial is over before dealing with Sig's problem, and finally you."
"No! I want to go out, I want to see Sherlock!"
"Don't be impulsive, Sig!" Nok quickly held Sig down as he struggled to get up.
He turned to Zola and said: "Ms. Zola, can I ask you a favor?"
"Don't say anything about letting you go. Although I am also very dissatisfied with Elizabeth's decision, I must abide by the agreement with her."
Zola persuaded Nok to give up his thoughts before he could speak.
Nok blinked and smiled: "I didn't ask you to let us go. I just said, Ms. Zola, you have been working very hard these past two days. Go for a walk outside, breathe some fresh air, or find a hotel to take a bath. It’s okay to relax. After all, there are two guards guarding it, so I don’t have to bother you all the time, right?”
"You little naughty boy." Zola poked Nok's head angrily with her finger.
"Okay, I'll take half a day off. Come back before dinner and be gentle."
After saying that, Zola pointed at Sig's foot, and a new vine foot appeared on Sig's left leg. Then, without saying anything, Zola left with her hands on her pillow.
Sig looked at Nok in confusion: "What riddles are you playing?"
Nok shrugged and said, "You are in a hurry to see your son. We will go out in the afternoon. But you have to promise me that no matter what the judge decides, you can't be impulsive. We will wait until we get back in the evening."
Sig just wants to see his son now, and he doesn't care about so much.
He quickly nodded in agreement.
In this way, Nok and Sig waited for ten minutes. After guessing that Zora had left the house, they rushed up the stairs and knocked unconscious the unsuspecting guards Jack and Leon in the study.
Outside the house, Nok said frankly: "You lead the way, I don't know where Highgarden is."
Sig did his part and took the lead. The two walked towards Highgarden.
By the time they arrived outside the High Court, the crowd of onlookers was already dense, blocking the High Court.
The two of them couldn't find a way to get in, and they were very anxious for a while.
"I have a solution, come with me!"
Nok suddenly patted Sig on the shoulder and motioned for Sig to follow him.
The two of them soon arrived at the High Court. Nok looked around and found no one there, so he motioned for Sig to climb up the wall.
The two successfully climbed over the high court wall and entered the back of the high court building.
The High Court is very large and is built in the ancient Byzantine style.
There is only one entrance, the front door, but it is not difficult for Knock, who has lived in the monastery since he was a child.
Nock took Sig and quickly found an open window and climbed in through the window.
"This should be the judge's lounge. Let's be careful. We can find a chance to stun the two guards, put on their clothes, and go to the main hall to hear the trial. But you have to promise not to be impulsive, otherwise I would rather be discovered now. .”
"Okay, as long as you let me see Sherlock, I will listen to you for everything else."
Sig agreed readily, but Nok felt uneasy.
But there was no way, with the arrow on the string, he couldn't care so much.
The two quickly seized the opportunity and knocked out the two guards in the corridor.
After changing into guard clothes, Nok was in trouble again.
Zola only made Sig a prosthetic leg for his left foot, but his left hand was still empty.
If someone sees him, his identity will definitely be revealed.
The kingdom will not let cripples serve as guards.
"In this way, find a piece of clothing and fill up the left side. I will stand on your left to cover. As long as you don't move around, there shouldn't be any problem with your hands. Find an opportunity to sneak into the audience. Then we will try to squeeze into the crowd. That’s it.”
In this way, the two of them walked through the corridor of the back courtyard and appeared in the lobby of the High Court.
Coincidentally, the trial of the case reached the point where evidence was presented. Everyone's attention was on the lawyer who was presenting evidence, and no one noticed the two Nok who came up from behind.
The court police noticed it, but when they saw the two men wearing guard uniforms, they thought they were new colleagues and smiled at Nok.
Nok smiled back and pulled Sig into the crowd.
At this time, the lawyer who had finished presenting evidence was making his final statement. (Note 1)
"Your Honor, based on the investigation results provided by the police department above, on behalf of the police department, I charge the prisoner with the crime of failure to report the crime, conspiracy, and attempted murder. My statement is completed, your honor."
Wow!
The audience in the audience talked a lot, but they didn't expect that everything these days would be related to the young man in the dock.
Sherlock, who was in the dock, listened to the prosecution lawyer's accusation with a livid face.
He must save himself. In a self-defense session, he must get rid of himself from these troubles!
Sherlock was confused at first.
Anyone who feels that his life or death is uncertain before he falls into a coma, and suddenly becomes a prisoner when he wakes up, will feel confused.
Fortunately, it took him three days to figure out the whole story.
In summary, Anna's conspiracy was discovered, someone defeated Anna, and then rescued him, but was mistaken for a villain and was beaten away.
He was supposed to be the victim, but because the murderer could not be found, it was very likely that they would make a fuss about him and use him as a scapegoat.
Although he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help cursing in his heart when he heard the prosecution lawyer's accusations.
Fortunately, he had already prepared for the worst and thought of a way to escape.
Sigur, who was mixed in the crowd, didn't know his son's plan. When he heard that his son was accused of three crimes, he immediately became angry and wanted to refute.
Fortunately, Nok had anticipated this situation and kept an eye on Sig.
Seeing that Sig had signs of action, he quickly covered his mouth and whispered into his ear to stop him.
"You are crazy! If you are exposed, your son will never have a chance to turn around! The Queen will definitely announce your identity immediately! Don't worry, let's see what the judge decides."
"boom!"
"Quiet! Quiet!"
The judge banged his gavel to signal the audience to quiet down. (Note 2)
"Prisoner, do you have any objection to the prosecution's accusation?"
The judge asked Sherlock as usual.
"Your honor, I have an objection! I do not admit the prosecution's accusations, nor do I admit that I am a prisoner. On the contrary, I have evidence to prove that I am a victim."
"Wow!"
The crowd was in uproar again.
Faced with the accusations with solid evidence, I didn’t expect the prisoner on the stage to want to overturn the case!
It's really exciting for them.
The judge also did not expect that the prisoner would actually take his symbolic question seriously.
Doesn't he know that the superiors have already made a conclusion on this case?
But since Shylock said this, the judge had to let him speak in his own defense.
Therefore, he had to say: "Oh? Since you have evidence to prove your innocence, tell me about it!"
[Note 1: The background of the story is a chaotic era, but the main theme is the Middle Ages. Therefore, lawyers are also a nascent profession. They currently only serve the agency and help the police station to prosecute criminals. Lawyers do not defend prisoners, so prisoners do not have a defense lawyer. In a court hearing, the prosecution only presents evidence, and then the judge asks the prisoner whether he admits guilt or not, and then the judge decides how to sentence the prisoner. If the prisoner is a noble and can pay a sufficient fine, he can be exonerated.
Note 2: gavel. I don’t know what it’s called specifically. If you don’t know, just ask a lawyer-like scammer to check it out. 】
