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

Chapter 459: The Kingdom's Treasure, the Pearl of the Lion Garden

The next day.

As the sky gradually brightened, what happened last night shocked half of the aristocratic district.

Everyone knew that the Fifth Princess's manor was under surveillance by the nobles all day yesterday, but it still happened. Rowe Brooke's speech in the court came true.

"Are you listening to us?"

In the courtroom, facing the accusers' questions, Rowe stood there looking nonchalant.

"Why is the Fifth Princess staying put in the manor?"

"Can you swear that the Fifth Princess had no involvement in what happened last night?"

"Why are only the orc slaves safe and sound? The other party's actions are clearly intended to rescue these slaves!"

"Don't think pretending to be deaf and dumb will help. If you can't answer, ask the Fifth Princess to come out and explain!"

He listened indifferently to the aggressive words coming from the opposite bench and watched them spitting in the courtroom.

Especially when he did not respond to all this, it further emboldened these people and they began to condemn from a moral high ground, mentioning words such as deprivation of titles and exile from time to time, and expressing their opinions in a condescending manner.

Thanks to the fact that they have a powerless princess, these people seem to dare to challenge authority as a matter of course. I wonder if they dare to do the same in front of Randall and the second prince.

The matter of the orcs was just an excuse.

No one took her seriously when she entered the capital, but if she could be threatened and questioned without paying any price, and her bottom line could be easily violated again and again, then she would never be a princess. This time, she could use the threat of the orcs to make her past efforts fall through, and next time, she could use the issue of the Crownless City to sentence her to collusion with the Hooffire Empire. She had done this nakedly, so what was there to talk about mercy and kindness?

It is time for those nobles to distinguish between lions and sheep.

"Are you taking yourselves too seriously?" When these people were almost tired of talking, Luo Wei suddenly shook his head and said.

"...??"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place fell into silence.

The accusers didn't react for a moment, but soon someone's face was filled with anger, "What did you say? How dare a mere civilian!?"

Luo Wei turned calmly to all the nobles who were looking at him in shock and anger.

"You all must be of extremely noble status. I didn't expect that you could even publicly intervene in the topic of royal family members," he said calmly but with sharp eyes, "The murderer has not been caught yet, and the fifth princess was under surveillance by various families all day yesterday. You all insist on letting the fifth princess prove her innocence in front of you. What, are you planning a rebellion?"

"!"

A depressing atmosphere gradually spread in the trial hall.

The accusers looked up in surprise, only to find that all the nobles in the gallery were looking at them with serious eyes instead of questioning Rowe Brooke.

"W-what!? What happened?!"

Luo Wei shook his head. His reaction was really slow.

Things are different now.

At first, everyone here was indeed their people, but after so many days of trial, most of the nobles are here for the Fifth Princess. The audience has long lost the advantage of public opinion over the accusers. Do they still want to control the dominant position with one-sided words? Including today's incident, regardless of good or bad intentions, the nobles did send people to observe the manor because they were concerned about the development of the situation and wanted to know how the Fifth Princess planned to act in the predicament. The reason why they flocked here today was because they subconsciously believed that they could get the answer here.

Even if they do not have a clear biased stance, it does not mean that they can allow accusers to question the royal authority at will.

Especially among the group of people who made the accusation, many of them were idle young men who did not even have a formal title. Should we say that they had been pampered for too long? They were just some unknown little characters, and touching on political topics related to the royal family without authorization was a suicidal act.

"I will present your speech today to Congress truthfully."

Along with the voice, the door of the courtroom was opened, and Lovely, dressed in an intricate princess dress, appeared there surrounded by the Royal Knights. Her petite stature did not diminish her aura at all, and her every move displayed the solemn majesty of a princess.

The greatest treasure of the kingdom, the pearl of the Lion Garden.

Many nobles in the audience stood up, bowed their heads and touched their chests in the direction where the fifth princess was walking, and the rest followed suit.

The accusers were horrified.

"Fifth... Fifth Princess, Your Highness!"

Lovely strode through the hall with her head held high. Along the way, the chief judge and others stood up from their seats and saluted her in unison.

"Your Highness."

"Your Highness."

It must be said that the atmosphere had changed greatly from the last time she came to the courtroom.

Lovely stopped at the main seat in the audience and nodded as she was surrounded by knights.

"No need to be polite," she said, "I have already handed over the power of attorney to Rowe Brooke, and I am just here to visit today."

Although they were just here to take a look, the nobles did not dare to neglect her at all. Her presence was so strong that her aura almost covered the entire trial hall. It was the first time for many people to see the Fifth Princess in person. While marveling at her beauty, they also associated her with the incredible deeds in the past. They did not feel any sense of incongruity at all. They could feel that this was something she was capable of doing.

Even her petiteness was so awe-inspiring that one dared not look up and look at her.

Is this... the fifth princess?

Without the Second Prince and without Lord Red Needle, Lovelli's aura is absolute.

The accusers then realized their gaffe and knelt down one after another. There were no nobles to support them here.

"Princess Fifth, spare my life!"

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

And Lovely's cold and indifferent attitude seemed to sentence them to death.

In fact, even the presiding judge knew that the manor of the fifth princess was under the surveillance of various nobles yesterday. All the main forces, including Rowe Brook, gathered in the training ground, ready to go out at any time. If it weren't for the mysterious man's attack last night, it might have turned into an irreversible situation.

Everyone knows that the orcs have to be saved whether they want to or not. If a lord cannot even protect the people he has publicly declared himself to be, who would be willing to be loyal to such a lord?

She is here today to establish her authority.

"I'm sure you all have doubts about what happened yesterday," Lovely looked towards the audience, interrupting the appeals of those who were kneeling on the ground begging for mercy, "So before we officially begin, I am willing to answer three of your questions. No matter what they are, I will only give you a yes or no answer."

"...!"

The nobles in the audience obviously realized that these words were directed at them. The Fifth Princess could have said nothing, but why was she willing to respond to them?

Before they had time to digest it, the first question was quickly asked from among them.

"Your Highness, are you related to what happened in the West Market last night?"

"related."

The nobles were all surprised. They didn’t expect the first question to be so direct, and the fifth princess also responded directly to it?
Even the accusers kneeling on the ground were stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

The second pointed question was also asked quickly. "So what happened last night was ordered by you, the Fifth Princess?"

"No."

The nobles opened their mouths slightly, which means that the mysterious man last night was not the fifth princess's man?
People were relieved that the order was not from the Fifth Princess. These two questions had given them enough information, but made the situation even more confusing. Now they only had one last question left.

Someone wanted to stand up, but was immediately held down by the person next to him.

The last question must be to the point enough to allow them to see the full picture of the incident. Since the Fifth Princess did not give any orders but was related to this matter, what is the truth?
After two minutes of discussion, it seemed that someone's opinion was agreed upon by everyone around him, and he stood up in front of everyone.

"The question I want to ask," the man said with sparkling eyes, "is the mysterious man last night your enemy?"

"of course."

Lovely's answer gave most of the nobles goosebumps.

Are the accusers in the courtroom not her enemies at all? If so... what is she fighting against? Not only did the opponent break in through the main gate alone and destroy the entire "Ghost Hand" mercenary group, although the leader of the mercenary group was later confirmed to be just a figurehead with a lower-level demon core, but last night someone saw with their own eyes that the mysterious man took the "Sword Saint"'s move with his bare hands. This... this is too unbelievable.

The presiding judge then turned his attention to the audience.

"Viscount Beck Panga, you fought with that mysterious man last night. Can you tell anything?"

All eyes in the hall turned to Viscount Ulysses Beckpanga who was sitting there.

"I don't have any definite conclusions," Ulysses, who was sitting there, crossed his arms calmly in response to the chief judge's question, "But from what I have observed, the other party is, without a doubt, a second-level god."

"!!?"

Second...Second Level God!?
Now they are telling them that the one who caused the commotion last night might be a god? !

Some people stood up because they were too surprised, but immediately sat back down, looking uncontrollably, and then looked in the direction of the fifth princess in horror.

Your Highness the Fifth Princess, is she an enemy of the gods?
Lovely: "..."

The presiding judge was also silent for a moment after hearing the news.

Then he looked at Ulysses and said, "Thank you for your contribution yesterday. Otherwise, we might have suffered even greater casualties."

"I didn't do anything," Ulysses said calmly, pulling out an arm. "The other party has no interest in killing ordinary people. When faced with the servants who escaped from the mansion, they did not take action."

"Even so, you saved the noble and several slave traders. If not, these people probably wouldn't have survived."

Ulysses did not deny it this time.

Although the nobleman is now hiding at home like a lost soul and dare not come out.

The accusers were so frightened that they couldn't even get up from the ground. They had not taken Rowe Brook's threats seriously before, but now they were told that they were investigating the truth about a second-level god?
The expression on Luo Wei's face seemed to be suggesting that they should go back and make preparations for the funeral.

"Alas……!"

The accusers huddled together in horror.

……

After the trial, return to the carriage at the manor.

Loveli looked at Luo Wei opposite her with contempt, and then a "bang" sound was heard in the car.

"Level 2 God?" She crossed her arms and said, "Are you serious?"

"The opponent has done this much," Luo Wei said as the carriage swayed, "It's not a big deal to borrow the enemy's hand."

Snapped.

"You really did something extraordinary." Lovely sighed and shook her head.

Until she came to the Tribunal, she still had no idea what was going on. Where did he attract such a hostile sect? How much did the other party dislike him that they even sent out a second-level god?

"You've been in the capital for so long. Now that you have a certain foundation, you have to establish your authority," Luo Wei waved his hand and said, "If you can't make them feel awed, they will think they can challenge your authority without paying a price, and they will become more and more excessive. Didn't you suffer enough in the beginning? Now these people want to shake your foundation and drive you out, so there's no need to be polite to them."

Snapped.

It has nothing to do with the question of whether or not they are orcs.

Faced with ants who challenge his authority and repeatedly touch his bottom line, a qualified lord should have the courage to control the power of life and death.

"I mean, aren't you afraid of being targeted by the other party when you do this?" Love looked up at him, "You can beat a level 2 god now?"

"Haha..." Luo Wei smiled, "This is where it gets interesting."

This is actually a win-win situation.

It's normal for me, a high priest of the Yin God sect, to frame the five princesses of the pro-prayer church on sensitive political topics, right?
The Black Saint is about to descend on the capital, how can nothing happen? The underworld must tremble at her arrival, and letting the Saint show off her skills in front of the light camp is the best deterrent.

At the same time, Luo Wei was not worried at all that Chaham would come looking for him. He understood Chaham's style. Everyone knew that the Five Princesses were accompanied by the Prayer Church all the way on the day of the parade, and that they had in-depth exchanges with the Church of the Light Camp on their way to Lierman. It was too intuitive and made him look like a bait set by his own Holy Maiden Guardian to trick him.

Chaham can't beat Celis.

Can't beat him at all.

The people of the Yin Shen Sect are crazy, not fools. They dare to attack the Five Princesses who support the Saint of the Prayer Church. Do you believe that the strongest man on the continent will come out of the Lerichman Abyss and give up half the world to fight you directly?

By then, even the current God will have to take action, and the Military God Temple will also intervene, and their sect will be completely finished.

Therefore, this method is the best way to show the sect, and it is also in line with their style. It shows strength while making it impossible for people to find any flaws. In the turbulent Melendel, the arrival of the Saint is needed to make people aware of the existence of their sect in order to further integrate the forces of the dark camp.

So in this matter, he was not only solving the problem for Loveli, but also paving the way for the Black Saint, and both sides benefited from it.

...With too many identities, sooner or later this group of people will cause your personality to split.

Snapped.

Being slapped mercilessly on the face, Loveli on the opposite side saw her eyes tremble.

"I've been wanting to ask you since a while ago," she looked at the third person in the car with a strange expression, "What happened to her since yesterday?"

He didn't say anything, just kept punching and kicking him, and this went on for almost a whole day and night.

Luo Wei was hit by an elbow from the side and his body swayed.

"Who knows."

He said without looking at Shaye who was there.

Maybe I took too much medicine.
