trial.

Martin and Carme sat in the audience seats.
When they heard the charges the prosecution listed, a barely noticeable smile flickered across
Carme’s face. On the other hand, Martin remained expressionless, but there was anger in his deep
eyes as he tightly sped his hands together.
“Your Majesty…” Carme gently took hold of his hands.
Martin’s fingertips jolted slightly, but he did not push her away. Carme was surprised as Martin had
avoided any physical contact with her, even reducing their intimate moments, for years because of
Helene’s incident. Whenever he touched her, it was like he was touching something filthy. They had
even started sleeping separately in the past two years.
Martin’s action just now brought joy to Carme’s heart. It was an unintentional gesture, but it felt like a
milestone with extraordinary significance to her. She was momentarily stunned before smiling and
trying to lean her head on Martin’s shoulder.
Martin still did not avoid her touch. Carme’s eyes turned red, and she was more determined in her
intention to get rid of Rowan. Once Rowan was out of the way, no one would bring Helene back to
sanity. As long as Helene remained insane, no one would ever know Aurelia’s real identity.
She had to remove all these obstacles, and then Martin would always be hers alone.
The prosecutor asked sternly, “Rowan Irwin, do you admit to all of these charges?”
Rowan smirked. “Evidence needs to be presented in cases like this. Are you asking me to admit guilt
without evidence? Are you trying to confuse the facts? Do you think that thews in Southeast Aciatic
can be manipted at will?”
Thewyer nced at him and requested to summon a witness before the judge. Soon, Aurelia sat in
the witness seat.
“You saw with your own eyes that Rowan Irwin treated Princess Helene, didn’t you?”
Aurelia nodded slightly.
Thewyer continued to ask, “Since drinking the medicine containing cinnabar, the princess’ condition
has worsened. And Rowan Irwin prescribed the medicine, is that right?”
Aurelia took a deep breath, licked her lips, and answered clearly, “No.”
The courtroom was in an uproar due to her response.
Aurelia smiled calmly. “I’m here to testify for Mr. Irwin today. I don’t want to see anyone ndering his
reputation with baseless usations!”
Thewyer narrowed his eyes. “Ms. Chilton, you reported it to the queen when Princess Helene’s
condition got worse.”
“Of course, I have to tell the queen the truth that Princess Helene’s seriously ill. But that doesn’t mean
that I’ll frame Mr. Irwin!”
“Very well!” Thewyer smiled. This was as Carme had guessed. He calmly presented another piece
of evidence.
“Ms. Aurelia Chilton lived in Melorian beforeing to Southeast Aciatic. Her parents are illegal
immigrants with no fixed ie. However, their lives have improved significantly recently. Upon
investigating their ounts, there’s arge sum of inexplicable funds in there.”
Thewyer sneered. “Ms. Chilton, this is the benefit that Rowan Irwin promised you, isn’t it?”
Aurelia frowned, and a hint of anger shed in her eyes. “You’re talking nonsense!”
“I’m not talking nonsense. This financial transaction is the most solid piece of evidence!”
“I haven’t seen my parents since I was ten years old!” Aurelia raised her voice. “I haven’t had any
contact with them, so how could Mr. Irwin contact them?”
Thewyer nced at the audience seat. He made eye contact with Carme, who was sitting in the
center, and she nodded slightly.
Thewyer bowed. “Your Honor, please allow me to summon another set of witnesses to testify!”
A momentter, a man and a woman walked into the courtroom. The courtroom was instantly silent as
everyone stared quietly at these two people.
The man was thin and pale, with the blood vessels on his face seemingly visible, while the woman had
a lewd air with her every move. Although she was not young, her skimpy dress and heavy makeup
seemed to tell people what profession she used to be in.
Both of them sat in the witness box, looking around nervously. When they saw Joy, who was beside
Carme, they hesitated and lowered their heads at the same time.
Carme’s brow furrowed with a sudden sense of unease. Who were these two people? They were not
the ones she had asked Joy to find!
Aurelia also looked puzzled as she stared at the two people. Although she had no impression of her
parents, it had only been eight or nine years since she was abandoned. Could a person’s features,
appearance, and even hair color change sopletely in such a short time?
Carme looked at thewyer, biting her lip nervously. The cluelesswyer thought she was signal and
smiled, saying, “Ms. Chilton, your parents are here to testify too!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated

He then looked at the man and woman and said, “I have a few questions to ask you both. You must
answer truthfully in front of the judge.
“The money in your bank ounts came from this person, right?” Thewyer pointed at Rowan.
The two people trailed their eyes after his finger and then nced at Joy…
When this woman found them, she told them not to say anything in court and promised they would
receive some money afterward. Could she still keep her promise judging from the current situation?
“Please answer truthfully!” Thewyer cleared his throat and emphasized his words.
“These are not my parents!” Aurelia interrupted. “You guys are ridiculous! You can’t just find two
people, make them pretend they’re my parents, and then frame Mr. Irwin!”
“That’s right.” Cordelia’s voice came from the other side of the gallery, calm and tinged with sarcasm. “If
witnesses can be found so easily, the trial is too casual, isn’t it?”
“But…” Cordelia looked at Carme. “Your Majesty may have another purpose for doing this. I wonder
if I’m right?”
Carme scowled instantly. She turned around abruptly and red at Joy behind her.
“Where are the people I asked you to find?” She gritted her teeth. “How could it turn out like this?”
Joy raised her eyes, and her calm gaze showed no sense of loyalty to her master. It was full of
estrangement.
“Your Majesty, what’s the purpose of you asking me to find those people?” she asked. “Why don’t you
tell the judge about it?”
“I’m asking you where those two people are!” Carme flew into a rage and stood up to hit her.
However, Martin grabbed her by the wrist before the p couldnd. He looked at her with a hint of
distrust, frowning. “Who did you ask Joy to find?”
