It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 439 The Princess' Agent
Two days later, in the Royal City Court.

Amid the noisy discussions, the Holy Stone Hall was particularly crowded today.

"Why didn't Her Highness the Fifth Princess come in person? Did she just send a knight to handle the charges against her?"

"Yes, my lord. And strictly speaking, I am not a knight."

"..."

The gavel from the judge's bench interrupted the quarrel.

"Silence, silence! Her Highness the Fifth Princess has indeed appointed this person to handle the case on her behalf. There is a formal proxy document and the princess' seal, which recognizes that everything this person says represents her will."

"Mr. Judge, may I ask what the other party's identity and title is?"

"…Swordsman."

The scene was in uproar.

Many nobles did not attend the last Baron Trial. In their eyes, only civilians, mercenaries, and wanderers would call themselves swordsmen. They were more inclined to refer to a group of people who had no fixed positions and could only be referred to by the type of weapons they held and their fighting style.

It's not that there aren't famous people who have the title of Swordsman, but if Swordsman is the only title that can be used in formal occasions... then it's often no different from not doing your job properly.

Now, the trial seats for initiating accusations were filled with more than a dozen nobles, as well as dozens of people of all sizes who participated in the accusation, which surrounded half of the venue. In comparison, the fifth princess, who was accused after the role swap, and a mere swordsman seemed very lonely.

"In the name of the Three Heavenly Brilliant Rings, the Fifth Princess is defying the law and the Court of Inquisition!"

"I request that this trial be postponed until the Fifth Princess arrives in person!"

The famous nobles were not present this time.

Without princes, princesses, or grand dukes, the nobles acted even more unscrupulously.

Upon seeing this, the presiding judge struck the gavel on the table again.

"Swordsman Rowe Brook—" He looked at the only representative of the Fifth Princess, "Your words and on behalf of the Fifth Princess, have you decided to temporarily postpone this trial?"

"Don't worry, my Lords," Luo Wei raised his head and spoke from the trial stand, holding up a light book in his hand. "Your Highness has anticipated this situation. I believe all your questions can be answered in this book."

"Ridiculous, what a joke!"

"The Fifth Princess is now facing more than ten charges. Do you think she can clear herself of suspicion with just one book?!"

In the gallery, Scarlett leaned on the armrest of the chair without thinking, holding her cheek. The absence of Lucas made her posture more casual, but her curiosity was not diminished at all.

The capital has not been peaceful these days. Lord Red Needle left the capital for no reason. Baron Wilson was found dead at home on the morning of the second day of the trial. After investigation, the person behind her plan to obstruct the princess's parade was Prince Evan, who had always lived in seclusion...

And now, Rowe Brook, who had said nothing the whole time last time, stood in front of all the nobles at the beginning.

How many more surprises will he give me? Even at his age, he is still a little immature, and his ability to take charge of things on his own is really interesting.

"If you gentlemen do not wish to accuse me," Luo Wei looked at the nobles calmly, "I can also tell Her Highness the Fifth Princess that I will not hold you accountable for the time being."

"Insanity!"

Coming from the mouth of a mere swordsman, he actually uttered the outrageous words of forgiving the nobles. No family could accept such an insult.

"Very good! Then please explain it!" Before the chief judge could make his announcement, someone stepped forward from the bench and said, "On the day when the fifth princess arrived at the capital, a knight group outside the city was attacked and annihilated! My men saw with their own eyes that the fifth princess's men were rushing out from the direction of the incident in a panic!"

"Which knight order?" Luo Wei asked.

Many families in the audience frowned. They did not come here today to accuse the Fifth Princess. It was just that after the Baron lost the case, the topic of the Fifth Princess had become a bit too much and had affected the direction of social topics. Seeing is believing.

Now it seems that the agent chosen by the fifth princess was not an ideal choice.

How could he ask such a foolish question at this time? Shouldn't he first question whether the witness information was correct? How could he easily enter the incident to prove himself? This shows that he did not investigate the information in advance, and he was not familiar with the correct conversation skills with nobles. He spoke without preparation and was simply pushing the fifth princess into the fire pit.

"The Red Rain Knights." The nobles raised their lips upon hearing Luo Wei's answer.

"The Red Rain Knights... The Red Rain Knights..." Luo Wei recited the name and began to flip through the book in his hand.

The nobles' expectations were further lowered. They actually looked up relevant materials in court? Even if it was just a last-minute effort, they should have prepared it before the court session.

Many people shook their heads and sighed, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

"Found it," Luo Wei stopped his finger on one of the pages, "The emblem is a shield submerged in blood rain, right?"

"Yes... that's right," the noble who spoke smiled, "That's the emblem of the Red Rain Knights."

I was played around in circles.

The spectators could not see clearly what the Fifth Princess intended, but they would not be surprised at what the swordsman said next.

Luo Wei nodded and raised his eyes to the presiding judge. "Mr. Presiding Judge, can I apply for an investigation team composed of members of the Tribunal?"

"Swordsman Rowe Brook," the old judge looked at him solemnly, "What is the reason for your request?"

Luo Wei patted the book in his hand and said, "This book records the real culprit of this massacre, but if only Her Royal Highness's people are responsible for the arrest, it will inevitably be suspected of framing him."

Nobles: “?”

what?
Scarlett's eyes were deep, and the nobles beside her looked at each other with surprise on their faces.

In the end, it was the presiding judge who expressed their doubts.

"Agent of the Fifth Princess, do you mean to solve this case on the spot and arrest the real culprit?"

"That's right," Luo Wei nodded, "Your Highness's people are already waiting outside. If allowed, please choose the judge you think is the most fair and does not violate the laws of the Lion Court to accompany you."

"I understand," the old chief judge smiled solemnly, "This is the first time I have encountered such a thing in all these years of adjudication. Janus, you will lead the team and go with the five princesses."

"Yes!" The judge stood up with full energy.

After the Inquisitor led the team away, the atmosphere in the courtroom was silent for a while.

Scarlett leaned back with one leg crossed, and chuckled softly, "He is not unaware of the ways of the nobles, and he clearly knows the temperament of the Chief Judge."

The old chief judge has been executing judgments for more than 40 years. He is a highly respected but hateful person, and he does not follow the procedures so strictly. From the last trial of the baron, it can be seen that if he deliberately favors the more powerful nobles, he would not be able to sit in this position for so many years under the Prime Minister's rule. "What do you mean? Now we are going to... directly catch the real criminal?"

"I don't know...but how is this possible?"

The nobles turned their eyes to the field one after another. What made them most curious now was what was written in the book in the swordsman's hand?
The nobles in the judgement seat looked livid.

"What's wrong?" Luo Wei still looked at them calmly, "Since we still have some time before we come back, you can move on to the next accusation, otherwise we will have to spend the next day in the courtroom."

"!!"

What is he saying?
Did he think he could handle all these 10+ charges in one day? ! How is that possible! Even if he was investigating and collecting evidence, it wouldn't be that efficient!
"Who knows?" Luo Wei seemed to have seen through their thoughts and patted the book in his hand. "Your Highness the Fifth Princess is wise and powerful. I am only responsible for conveying the message."

"I want to accuse!" Someone else stood up in the crowd, "I found out that Her Highness the Fifth Princess is trading slaves! And all the slaves she bought were male slaves! I saw them operating in the parish with my own eyes!"

This time Luo Wei did not open the book.

"Excuse my limited knowledge, may I ask what family you belong to, sir?"

"The Adol family," the man puffed out his chest and said, "I am the eldest son, Jakoro Adol."

"It turns out it's you..."

Luo Wei subconsciously avoided the other person's gaze and looked at the presiding judge again.

"I hope to apply for an investigation team again."

"To catch the real murderer again?"

"Yes."

The presiding judge smiled and arranged for another judge to bring people to assist. If the situation really developed in this way, he would probably become the presiding judge who solved the most major cases in one day in the history of Lion Garden.

Hearing this arrangement, Jakoro Adol sneered. He actually went outside the venue to catch the so-called "real murderer"? He wanted to see who the other party could bring back.

The next accusation was about the incident of the ghost countess in the royal capital half a month ago. The accuser suspected that the fifth princess arranged this horrific murder when she sent a letter accusing Earl Longdale.

Another Inquisitor set out with his team.

In this way, seven charges were passed in succession. The court had never handled a case so efficiently. Although all the answers were hanging on the unknown investigation results, it was precisely because of this that the expectations in the courtroom were brought to a peak.

——It’s not like people haven’t experienced bizarre things before, and Melendel is never short of legends.

But I never resist legend.

Faced with something that is almost deemed impossible in their minds, why not do it if they can verify the results one after another by just waiting for a moment?
The eighth charge.

"After confronting the Fifth Princess in court, Baron Wilson was found dead at home the next morning. What explanation does the Fifth Princess have for this?"

"This is really sad news, isn't it?" Luo Wei looked at the other party and said, "He clearly challenged without knowing his own strength, but he lost miserably. Now someone is secretly helping him escape the punishment of the Lion Court's laws. How much contempt does the person who did this behind the scenes have for justice?"

"It is the Fifth Princess who needs to give an explanation. I..."

"Didn't you understand what I meant?" Luo Wei interrupted him coldly. "Since the victory is certain, only the news that the baron has been punished fairly can please my princess. Will you continue to send assassins to do dirty things after your opponent is doomed to perish, sir? The fact that you can come up with such an accusation makes me doubt your character."

"It may be that the Baron has not revealed anything in court..."

"Be careful with your words, sir, be careful with your words." Luo Wei interrupted him again, "Are you doubting that the Tribunal did not give the Baron enough time to defend himself, or are you doubting that the Tribunal was bribed by His Highness?"

"I……!"

Many people in the gallery changed their expressions.

Compared to his clumsy performance at the beginning, his current performance was truly refreshing. Could it be that he was the type who was gradually getting better? His words that suppressed the nobles on the spot were sharp enough.

At this moment, the first investigation team that left the court returned.

Inquisitor Janus led the team into the Holy Stone Hall. Many knights were tied up in the team. The leader was kicked into the trial area by a blonde woman with a gun.

“Brother!?” The noble who had brought the accusation against the Red Rain Knights looked at the scene in astonishment.

Shaye walked up to Rowe with a rope tied to her, with an arrogant attitude that showed she had no one to fight with.

Luo Wei: "..."

Tsk tsk, I wonder whether Rosalia will follow me or her.

Noticing his gaze, Saya bumped him hard with her elbow, while the Inquisitor on the field was already reporting the results.

"Reporting to the judge, we found the prisoners of the Red Rain Knights in the secret room. The real culprit... is definitely these people."

"oh……!"

The scene suddenly became lively.

What surprised them most now was not that they had brought back the real murderer, but that the noble who had initiated the accusation against the Red Rain Knights was the younger brother of the real murderer.

The scene where the younger brother accused the fifth princess but ended up having his elder brother arrested was too dramatic.

"Brother!? Why you!?"

The man tied to the ground did not reply. On the way back, he had already learned about the trial. This group of people were actually using magic devices to communicate with each other halfway. What a bunch of villains!

He exerted force suddenly, broke free from all the ropes on his body, and stood up in anger.

"You are the agent of the Fifth Princess, right?!"

He did not look at his brother behind him, but pointed directly at Luo Wei who was on the judgment seat.

Just when everyone didn't know what he was going to do, the disheveled man suddenly looked fierce.

"I challenge you to a trial by combat!"
