"In addition, you will also be awarded the title of 'Night Heron' and have your own subordinates. You need to determine a list as soon as possible, and submit it to me for His Majesty's approval."

"Okay father, I'll get it done as soon as possible."

Phyllis nodded and tried to look happy.

Viscount Lemes was encouraged, and walked carefully behind his daughter, and walked slowly towards the gate with her.

"Phyllis, you know, I can always hear rumors that others don't know about. It is reported that Her Excellency Serena actually likes women..."

When there was no one around, Viscount Lemes said carefully, as if he was expecting something, but also seemed to be afraid of something.

"Yes, father, that is it."

Serena never meant to hide this, so Phyllis naturally confirmed it frankly.

"then you……"

Phyllis' body stiffened for a moment, and she looked at her father.

She tried her best to distinguish the worry, anticipation, and resentment in her father's eyes, and then made a decision in her heart.

"Yes, father, as you think, I became her woman too."

"It's better for our work, isn't it?"

Viscount Lemes' cheeks trembled a few times.

He nodded with difficulty, and said in a low voice:

"That's not bad. Anyway, you are not in a hurry to get married. It would be even better if the king rewarded you with a title."

"Serve her well. Her future may be even greater than I imagined. You will...you will be fine."

The tone of Viscount Lemes made his words "get better" pale.

But Phyllis replied in a really cheerful tone at this time:

"Of course, I'm fine, better than ever. Goodbye, Father, and good luck!"

Viscount Lemes stood there in a daze, his eyes following the back of his daughter.

Out of professional sensitivity, he somehow sensed something that he should report to the king.

But he still didn't report it after all.

Chapter 28 The Saint in Court

"...Now, we all know what happened on that day."

In the court, Serena stood on the defender's seat and talked freely.

"Aurora never actually gave any instructions to attack the defenders, nor did he harm anyone."

"When she arrived at the scene, what she did {}

"I believe that any normal person should not have any doubts about her motives after learning about this situation?"

Serena stopped talking, and stared at the prosecutor beside her aggressively.

The prosecutor shivered - there was no way, those eyes were too oppressive, but after taking two deep breaths, he opened his mouth to refute with difficulty.

"I admit that Aurora herself did not cause any substantial harm to the defenders, but we must make it clear that most of the people who fought there are her followers."

"According to the laws of this country, the lord has to bear the consequences for the mistakes of followers. This article is clearly written in the code, and the drafter of this law is Baron Willard, who is your father... "

"Judge, I object!"

Serena yelled loudly and looked at the judge.

"The other party is trying to intimidate us with facts that have nothing to do with this case!"

"The objection is valid. Your Excellency, Prosecutor, please do not exceed the scope of discussion of this case."

The judge struck the hammer helplessly and looked at the prosecutor.

There is absolutely no need to say this sentence, it has no deterrent effect, and in fact it is reminding the people present that everyone owes something to the saint in front of them.

The prosecutor swallowed a mouthful of saliva and lowered his head.

To be honest, before the trial, he fantasized that he might be able to put the saint in prison and achieve some fame.

But the whispers passing by in the corridor had already let him know that today was not his stage.

After the trial, he even found out unexpectedly that Saintess Serena was a tricky and terrifying opponent.

During the cross-examination session, his well-prepared witness testimony was severely beaten, and the opposite party even extravagantly used magic props to play a large section of the memory of the parties for comparison, which was full of pride.

And in the current summary of the statement, Serena refused to give the opponent a chance, sarcasm and sarcasm throughout, pointing out the prosecutor's mistakes and whipping the corpse repeatedly.

But the prosecutor feels that he can still work hard. At least, what he said now is not groundless, and it can even be said to be the most core and most inescapable point.

"In short, we all know that Ms. Katerina and several other ladies are followers of Saint Aurora, and we have evidence that they themselves admitted that they participated in the beating of the defenders. Ms. Katerina And stabbed Sir Stanley."

"According to the law, Ms. Aurora needs to be responsible for this series of harmful behaviors. Even if she didn't know it in advance, and there is no common sense to ratify it afterwards, she still has an inescapable responsibility for management!"

"That's not the case!"

After the other party finished speaking, Serena immediately raised her finger and shook it with a contemptuous smile.

"Hey, it would be too much to deny even this point? Don't say that this law does not apply to saintesses!"

Seeing Serena rebuttal again, the prosecutor shouted angrily.

"Please pay attention to court discipline!"

The judge struck the hammer again and glared at the prosecutor.

He understood the mentality of this old man, but on an occasion like today, such a performance was a bit too low.

Didn't you see the few reporters in the auditorium who were writing furiously?

That's right, today's trial is open, no matter which side loses someone, it will quickly spread throughout the capital.

"I am very clear about the scope of application of this regulation. I am also very sure that when the incident happened, the identities of Ms. Katerina and others were not followers of the Holy Maiden of Aurora."

Serena smiled smugly, and spoke slowly.

"We all know that after I was besieged in the Kolo Valley, the Saintess of Aurora took the lead in organizing volunteer activities to save the Saintess Serena."

"According to the event proposal, all participants participated in this expedition voluntarily in their own names."

"We also submitted this evidence to Your Honor just now."

"You mean..."

The prosecutor's eyes widened.

"That's right, what happened at that time was based on the expedition of volunteers, not the personal actions of the Holy Maiden of Aurora. Therefore, the identities of all participants in the event were volunteers, not followers."

"If you don't believe me, you can read the signature again. No matter Ms. Katerina or others, they all participated in the expedition in their own name, not someone's follower."

The prosecutor instinctively looked at the file on the judge's desk, but immediately lowered his head in discouragement.

If Serena said that, there would definitely be no problem. If this statement was true, then Aurora would naturally not have the slightest responsibility at all.

To make this statement untenable, it must be the key evidence that the three presiding judges decided not to accept the letter of proposal.

But is that possible?

The prosecutor is very clear that His Majesty the King does not want any problems with the Holy Maiden of Aurora, so this result will never happen.

…………

"Now the verdict, regarding the lawsuit concerning Saint Aurora intentionally injuring active soldiers and storming military fortresses, the conclusion is: not guilty!"

"Great!"

There was a burst of yingyingyanyan voices in the auditorium, and Aurora's female followers even more [

But Aurora, who left the dock and regained her freedom, did not feel happy at all.

She walked up to Serena, lowered her head and said softly:

"Thank you. You've worked hard, Serena."

"You're welcome, what is our relationship..."

Serena smiled and hugged Aurora and patted her on the back.

"Okay, you have suffered a lot during this time, now go back to the monastery to rest, I promise, it won't appear in your dreams for two days, how about it?"

"I'm not in the mood."

Aurora suddenly hugged Serena tightly, and hurriedly asked in her ear:

"I'm fine, is something going to happen to Katerina?"

"Her status is much different from mine. She can't afford what I can afford. I'd rather..."

"Don't be silly, Aurora."

There was no more provocation in Serena's voice, only pure firmness remained.

"Since I can make you innocent, I will naturally have a way to save Katerina."

"I said, if I want you to leave here intact, it doesn't matter if it's you!"

"Your reputation, your subordinates, your good mood, I will pack them all for you and let you take them away."

"Trust me, Aurora."

Aurora trembled slightly, and responded with a kitten-like voice:

"Well, I believe it."

Chapter 29 The Holy Maiden in Court

"Okay, now we continue to hear the lawsuit about Ms. Katerina intentionally hurting servicemen and storming military fortresses."

After the re-opening of the court session, the judge finished his opening remarks, then shook his head with a broken smile.

"Actually, the result has come out, hasn't it?"

"Since it has been ruled before that everything is Ms. Katerina's personal behavior, and she has confessed, then we can completely close the case in court. Now, I declare..."

"Your Majesty, I have an objection!"

Just when the judge was about to go through a procedure to close the case, Serena raised her arm again.

The judge looked at Serena in astonishment, then looked at the file in his hand, and raised his eyebrows hesitantly.

"Your Excellency Serena, if I remember correctly, you were the one who proved that everything was Ms. Katerina's personal actions."

"Yes, that is what I propose and prove. It is not this that I dispute."

"Then your objection is..."

The judge looked at Serena blankly, unable to figure out what medicine was being sold in this gourd.

Isn't it all crucified? What else can I say?

"I mean, Ms. Catalina didn't intentionally injure service members, so it doesn't constitute an assault on a military fortress."

In a very solemn tone, Serena said something that everyone present thought was absurd.

"Wait, even the magical image you submitted yourself completely proves that Ms. Katerina stabbed Sir Stanley in the leg?"

"How could this not constitute intentional injury?"

Serena smiled, and said confidently:

"This has to start with Ms. Katerina's identity."

"You have proved Ms. Katerina's identity. She was a volunteer at the time."

The judge kindly reminded that at the age of the saint, it is impossible to be forgetful, so it is not an act that should appear in court.

"No, no, I'm not talking about this. Katerina's volunteer status only separates her from her connection with Lord Aurora, which does not prevent her from having other identities."

The prosecutor on the side sneered thoughtfully.

"You wouldn't say she was a pirate, would you? That's right, as a famous ex-pirate on the wanted list, she has other identities, but a pirate attacking an active soldier in the kingdom is a capital offense..."
