Chapter 1579: suitable excuse

"Catherine Fermion, do you have anything to defend?" Looking at his daughter-in-law standing on the trial seat, Count Belmont asked gloomily.
"No, Lord Father." Even in the trial, being glared at by everyone, the Lady of Moore City still maintained her arrogant elegance, as if she was just here to attend a party between ladies.
"What about you? My son." Earl Belmont turned his head to look at Mourning Belmont.
"No, father." Mourning Belmont didn't look at his father from the beginning to the end, but only looked at his wife. The emotions in his eyes were extremely complicated, but he didn't have a trace of hatred.
"In that case, follow the rules!" Count Belmont closed his eyes slightly and said with a tired look.
The senior members of the direct line who were sitting beside Earl Belmont nodded, and one of them stood up and walked to a high platform in front of him, then took out the sentence announcement they had just drawn up, and read aloud: "Now I will sentence Mourning on behalf of the family. Belmont, Catherine Fermion…

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the scarlet hall, and everyone in the hall could not help but look outside. At the same time, some alert people also put their hands on the weapons on their waists, although they did not think There was a church that came to attack Moore City madly, but the mad believers of the church could not infer with common sense. If some mad believers really came to save their saintess, this kind of thing is not impossible.
However, the person who pushed open the door of the scarlet hall was not an external enemy, but a butler brought by the Earl of Belmont. He has been staying in the city lord's mansion recently, responsible for maintaining the normal operation of the city lord's mansion, and is also in charge of statistics on mo Property of Nin Belmonte.
"Old Miller, what happened?" Count Belmont's face showed a little displeasure when his butler suddenly broke into the trial scene in the Scarlet Hall, but he didn't accuse him, because he knew very well that he was The housekeeper is not the kind of rash person. Since the other party rushed over in such a hurry, something must have happened.
"Lord Count, Miss Miranda just landed in the city lord's mansion on a storm eagle, and brought two guests." The butler immediately explained the situation, and paused a little when mentioning the two guests, and then He continued: "I see that one of the guests may be Her Majesty the Queen."
Everyone present was stunned for a while, whispering to each other, and the expressions on their faces were all puzzled.
No one present suspected that the housekeeper was wrong. After all, as one of the housekeepers of Belmont Castle, Old Miller had more opportunities to contact Queen Teresa than everyone in Moore City, so it was naturally impossible for the other party to mistake the Queen.
However, they were all very puzzled about how the Queen came to Moor City in secret. They had to know that Queen Teresa used to make great fanfare every time she came to Moor City. Even in order to welcome the Queen's arrival, Moor City needed to prepare several times in advance. Heaven, but now a silent secret has come to Moore City, which makes people wonder if something big has happened.
And among these people, some up to Miranda Belmont thought more things from Miranda's position, because Miranda was the head of a special emergency department in the family line, which usually dealt with Some important matters related to the survival of the Kingdom of Teresa and the Belmont family, and being able to let the director-level Miranda personally touch, or even use the Stormhawk, means that the matter has become extremely urgent.
Compared with the seriousness and panic displayed by the officials and family patriarchs of the surrounding Moore City, the Earl of Belmont seems very calm, because he already knows what Miranda's mission is, and can also guess the suspected Queen Teresa. Who is the guest.
However, he did not tell everyone the situation. Instead, he looked at his son with an inexplicable light in his eyes, followed him to pick up the candlestick on his table, tapped the table hard, and sent the conversation in the scarlet hall to the pressed down.
"Something unexpected happened, the trial was temporarily suspended, the prisoner was pressed down and put in a dungeon, and the sentence was pronounced on another day." Count Belmont read his decision aloud.
Hearing his decision, Mourning Belmont couldn't help but froze for a moment. For the first time, he turned his attention from his wife to his father, but soon he looked at his wife again, but it was his wife's face. There was a little dissatisfaction on her face, as if what she wanted to hear was not that she was locked up again, but that she was directly pushed to the city gate and hanged.
On the other hand, the other people in the hall, the high-level direct descendants who came with the Earl of Belmont, showed a little dissatisfaction on their faces. They seemed to think that it was extremely inappropriate for the Earl of Belmont to do so, but the officials and family patriarchs in Moore City were relieved and could not wait. Let the guards in the hall take their former city lord and his wife down and put them in the dungeon.
According to normal circumstances, if the punishment is based on the laws of the Belmont family, Mourning Belmont and his wife and son who do not have the blood of the Belmont family will be executed, just like the Moor City lords who tried to rebel in the past, eventually It was hung on the city wall for public display.
This is also what most people in the direct line of the Belmont family want to see. There is no doubt that the only descendant of the Earl of Belmont is definitely the most suitable sacrifice to show the majesty of the family law. Once the sentence is completed, then No one will dare to violate the family law again for the family's direct line, side branches and even some vassals who are disrespectful, and the family will definitely be more stable in the next few decades, until Mourning Belmont is forgotten.
It's just that the execution of Mourning Belmont is definitely not what the forces in Moore City want to see. After all, they sold Mourning Belmont completely, and now Earl Belmont may not show any resentment towards them. They will even be rewarded for their actions, but who knows if the Earl of Belmont will secretly retaliate against them when things calm down. No.
Now the Monin Belmont family is imprisoned in the dungeon of Moore City. Although it is verbally temporary, everyone present can feel that the retrial meeting on another day mentioned by Earl Belmont is a very long time. For the people of Moore City, it is undoubtedly the best result. It is best to imprison the Mourning Belmont family in Moore City forever, so that all forces in Moore City have a security guarantee.
In this strange atmosphere, everyone who heard Earl Belmont's decision was tacit, and no one stood up to oppose it. A grand trial that shocked the entire Moore City and Belmont Castle was so anticlimactic. ended.
After the Monin Belmont family was taken to custody, Earl Belmont couldn't wait to leave the scarlet hall that made him extremely uncomfortable, and led the housekeeper and his subordinates to the direction of the city lord's mansion.
Soon the group returned to the city lord's mansion, and after inquiring about the location of Miranda and others, they walked directly towards the storm scaffolding in the back garden.
Entering the back garden of the mansion, everyone saw the huge storm eagle standing high on the scaffold at a glance. This is the carefully observed Earl of Belmont who found that one of the storm eagles was not equipped with any saddle device, which made him feel A little doubt.
Then, his eyes shifted to the people under the scaffolding. In addition to familiar faces such as Miranda, there were two strangers, but one of the so-called strangers was more like an acquaintance in terms of appearance.
The moment he saw Sylvia, Earl Belmont also stopped. He realized at this moment that the things he had heard before were not exaggerated at all. The appearance of the other party and Queen Teresa was too similar. It can be said that they are almost the same, and even the temperament unique to the queen is almost the same. The only difference is that a person looks a lot more mature, and the temperament of the queen is also much stronger.
However, the appearance and temperament just stopped Count Belmont's attention for a while. The real reason for Count Belmont to stop was the pure blood power in Sylvia. The power of the bloodline had never been felt even by his father, the Duke, and he could clearly feel a rare sense of awe in his heart under the image of the bloodline.
"Lord Count." After Miranda saw Count Belmonte, she immediately took someone over, saluted him, and then introduced: "This is Sylvia..."
"No need to introduce, I know this distant relative." Earl Belmont suppressed his emotions, then stepped forward very decently, stretched out his hand to Sylvia, and said, "I'm Jonathan Belmont."
"Sylvia Belmonte." Sylvia shook the other's hand and said.
"This should be Master Leo, right?" Count Belmont looked at Leo again.
Leo didn't speak, just nodded.
Although Leo's behavior seemed a bit rude, it did not arouse Count Belmont's disgust. In fact, when he was young, he disguised his identity and went to the academic city to study for several years, so he is very aware of those scholars who study academia. What do they look like? In fact, Leo has behaved normally, and he has not seen anything more extreme than Leo.
Earl Belmont made a timely proposal and said, "The two of you are invited to the castle, and I just happen to be going back to the castle, so the two of you will go with me!"
Seeing that Earl Belmont was so enthusiastic, Leo and Sylvia were both stunned for a moment, while Miranda frowned and said, "Lord Earl, have you completed your visit to Moore City?"
Earl Belmont said as usual: "Your arrival disrupted the trial, and it couldn't go on at that time, so Mourning and the others were put back into the dungeon by me and waited for the trial in the future."
Miranda knew very well that Earl Belmont came to Moore City to judge Mourning Belmont, and now it seems that the other scoundrel used the arrival of herself and others as an interface to delay the trial, which made her feel both angry and funny, But she also made the same move as the various forces in Moore City. She completely opened and closed her eyes to this behavior of delaying the trial, and did not expose it.
Sylvia and Leo on the side heard some clues from the conversation between the two, and Leo suddenly asked out of time: "What trial? It must be a big deal to let the Count handle it himself, since In this case, then the count should focus on official business, and after the trial is finished, it should not affect your affairs for us."
The Earl of Belmont showed an ugly smile when he heard the words, and continued: "It doesn't matter, it's just a small matter, now nothing in the family can compare to the arrival of the two, especially the arrival of this distant relative of mine. ." After speaking, he didn't wait for Leo to continue to speak, he looked directly at Miranda, and asked in a deep voice, "Is the passage back to the castle ready?"
Miranda didn't demolish the earl's stage, and responded truthfully: "I have already informed that there is preparation, it should take a little more time."
"In that case, let's go now!" Earl Belmont said solemnly: "There is still a mountain road to go to the passage from here. That mountain road is a bit dangerous and it will take some time. When we get there, it should be almost ready. already."
After he finished speaking, he did not allow Leo and the others to refuse, so he motioned for Miranda to take Leo and Sylvia to follow him.
Seeing the figure of Earl Belmont disappearing in the garden corridor, Leo asked Miranda with some doubts: "Who is Earl Belmont coming to judge in Moore City this time?"
Hearing Leo's question, Miranda smiled a little embarrassedly, and said, "It is the only son of Lord Earl, the former family of the city lord of Moore."
Leo and Sylvia were stunned when they heard the words, and then Sylvia asked in a deep voice, "Is this city lord of Moore City being tried for betrayal?"
"How did you know?" Miranda looked at Sylvia in surprise. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com
Although the city lord of Moore City violated the law of the family because of his wife's behavior, and the matter of being judged has been spread all over the city of Moore, this matter has only been spread in the past two days, and because of the family ban, he has also It was not spread to the outside world, and the rumors from the outside world did not involve specific laws, let alone being tried for betrayal, so now Sylvia guessed the core content of the trial at once, which made Miranda unable to help. Surprised and even professionally doubted whether Sylvia had any eyes or ears in Moore City.
However, in the face of Miranda's rhetorical question, Sylvia seemed very calm, and then replied: "It's very simple, most of the trials I have encountered involving the first heir are almost related to treason and betrayal." , she asked again: "If we didn't show up as an excuse, would the family of the former city lord who was tried were all executed?"
"Yes." Seeing that Sylvia had already guessed it, Miranda had nothing to hide.
After listening to Sylvia, she couldn't help but turn her head and smiled at Leo, and said, "It seems that the earl owes us a lot of favor."
