"presumptuous!"

At this time, a person in the audience stood up.

"How could His Majesty the Emperor do such a thing? He and Orson were still comrades-in-arms. He disregarded the feelings of comrades-in-arms and killed his relatives. Instead, you said it was a frame-up."

"that is!"

"What kind of onion are you? Do you think you mean what you say?"

"quiet!"

Seeing that the court was gradually becoming chaotic, the chief judge also knocked on the table with his judicial hammer. After the court fell silent, he said:

"Since the evidence is suspected of being perjured, the trial will be adjourned today and will be held again after the evidence is proven to be satisfactory."

With that said, the justice stood up and then left the scene directly.

What he did was actually a compromise.

If Orson was directly acquitted, he would have offended Alsace.

But if Orson is still forcibly convicted, it is estimated that the entire Imperial Court will be demolished by the angry people tomorrow.

Therefore, he simply stopped judging and kicked the ball to others, so that the trouble could not be thrown at him anyway.

Following the chief justice's order, the court began to exit in an orderly manner.

First, everyone in the spectator seats was invited out, and then Orson, Sherlock and others walked out together.

"Sherlock, long time no see."

Owen was also very happy to see Sherlock appear.

"Have you been locked up by His Majesty's people these days?"

Owen asked.

Sherlock nodded.

"Well, I'm sorry for making you worry. From today on, I will continue to go back to work at the police station, and the investigation of the case will continue to be left to me."

"good."

Owen nodded.

And Phil came to Orson.

"Lord Orson, are you satisfied with this matter?"

"Yeah, pretty good." Orson nodded. "I'll have to thank you more from now on."

"It's nothing. Master Orson, you have helped me so much. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Phil said with a smile.

The chat between the two people was not heard by Owen and Sherlock in the distance, so the two did not know the special relationship between them. They only knew that Phil helped Orson at the request of others.

On the other side, inside the palace.

Alsace was sitting on the sofa, enjoying Rosalind's massage.

He had already received a day of bad news today. In order to prevent him from being upset, Rosalin specially gave him a massage to relax and soothe his mood.

Since this morning, the royal family has been receiving news from all over.

The first letter sent was a letter from the Duke of Antica.

In the letter, Lucius questioned Odysseus about why his health suddenly deteriorated. He did not hide his doubts about Alsace at all. Alsace was so angry that he tore up Lucius's letter and threw it into the stove.

Then came Napoli's letters.

The content of Napoli's letter was simple.

Let Orson go, or there will be a war.

Then came the letters of William, Duke of Prussia.

William stated in the letter that his two daughters are still in Saint Laurent City. Considering that the political situation in Saint Laurent City is still quite unstable, William decided to send troops to protect the safety of his daughters.

On the surface, he was speaking eloquently, but in fact anyone with a discerning eye could see that William was preparing to send troops to threaten him.

How could one deploy a hundred thousand troops to protect his daughter's safety?

He also wrote it directly in the letter, just like showing off his muscles.

This was followed by letters from Orléans, Aragon and Lucia.

The three dukes all expressed neutrality and condolences, and even the Duke of Orleans wanted to join Elsa's side.

Although his mission of attacking the palace magician's station was completed, the palace magicians escaped with Elsa.

He just drove them out of the palace and did not catch the person he wanted to catch.

Alsace really couldn't imagine how his sister could have such a high personality charm that attracted so many people to help her.

It is precisely because of this news that the news in Alsace in the next few days will definitely not be good.

However, at this moment, the door was knocked by the guard. After getting a response from Alsace in the room, the guard opened the door and walked in.

"Who is going to send troops to fight again? Let's just say it." Arthas closed his eyes and said unhappily.

"No, Your Majesty, during the trial of Orson in the Imperial Court, Sherlock suddenly appeared and said that the evidence we had prepared before was all false. After she did this, the Imperial Court directly announced that the trial would be set for another day. We are here today. There is no way to bring Orson down."

After hearing this, Alsace sat up from the sofa, frightening Rosalin who was massaging him to let out a exclamation.

"ah!"

"Feel sorry."

Arthas first apologized to Rosalind, then stood up and came to the side of the guard.

"You just said that Sherlock suddenly appeared?"

"Well, that's right. Her evidence led to some of the evidence we gave becoming perjury. It's hard for the judges to judge, so they can only choose a date..."

"This is not easy to judge. This is clearly giving me eye drops."

As Alsace said this, his expression felt as if he had eaten a fly.

He arranged for people to keep an eye on Sherlock, but now it seems that his people are most likely to have rebelled.

Chapter 51: Rebel, all rebel (6K)

In the Imperial Court, Arthas met with the Grand Judge who was hearing the case of Orson today.

The Grand Judge, with white hair and beard, stood in front of Arthas, straightened his back, not timid at all.

"Your Honor, I would like to ask, why was Orson, who asked you to help him before, released again today?"

Arthas suppressed his anger and expressed his doubts.

"The key witness said that the evidence was false, so how can I judge Orson if the evidence is false? I can only judge Orson again when the real evidence comes out."

The Grand Judge explained this, not worried that Arthas would get angry at all.

"And, Your Majesty, you also know that you asked me to do this case, so I skipped many necessary links, but I can't force you to reverse black and white when the key witness is present."

"So, you chose to betray your emperor because of the ridiculous "morality" in your heart, right?"

Arthas's anger had been suppressed to the limit and was about to burst out.

The Grand Judge closed his eyes when he heard what Arthas said.

"Sorry, Your Majesty, to be honest, I still feel guilty for what I promised you."

"Because a political struggle has tarnished my career, I would rather you fire me, Your Majesty, so that people will at least remember that I am a judge who has not abused my power."

"Okay, you will never abuse your power again, you are fired!"

Arthas said this, and tore off the scale-shaped brooch on the chest of the judge, which symbolized justice, and threw it to the ground and stepped on it into powder.

"Get out!" He pointed at the door and said fiercely.

The judge said nothing, and walked out of his office with his head held high.

Even if he was facing a lifetime of poverty or death, he didn't care.

Arthas stood there, and it took a long time for him to adjust his mentality and then headed for the next place.

On the way, he met his subordinates who were sent to investigate the betrayal.

"Your Majesty, the person who released Sherlock without authorization was Phil."

"Phil?!" Hearing this name, Arthas was stunned.

Phil had been with him for three years, and he had always been good at doing things, and he never asked too many questions, so he trusted Phil very much. When investigating the case of Francois' assassination, Alsace specifically asked Phil to be in charge of the royal investigation team.

Now he was told that the person he trusted the most betrayed him?

Alsace couldn't accept it.

He then asked:

"Have they been found? I want to see them alive or dead!"

"Report... They were indeed found, but just now, they entered the Imperial Academy..."

"Imperial Academy..."

When Alsace heard these four words, it coincided with the place he was going to next.

"It seems that there are really many people who can't stand me."

He said so.

After Elsa and the court magician were driven away, they were taken to the Imperial Academy to hide, and now Phil, who betrayed him, also took Sherlock to hide in the Imperial Academy.

The Imperial Academy has now become a refuge for political prisoners, right?

But the nature of the Imperial Academy made Alsace really unable to do anything to them in a short period of time.

The Imperial Academy, nominally belongs to the Empire, but in fact the royal family has no control over it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a country within a country.

Without the permission of the Imperial Academy, outsiders have no way to enter the Imperial Academy, even the royal army.

And in this situation, the Imperial Academy really has the capital to do so.

Facing the pressure from all forces, Arthas dispersed the troops and elites in his hands. In addition to ensuring absolute control of the city, the army in Saint Laurent City did not have much reserve combat power.

This is even more true for mid- and high-end combat power.

The combat power of the teachers in the Imperial Academy is generally between level 5 and 7, and there are even many level 8 combat powers. In addition to the large number of students, their combat power is not bad at all. If a fight really breaks out, the army of Saint Laurent City will definitely not be able to get in.

Helplessly, he can only go to the Imperial Academy in person and use his status as an emperor to force the Imperial Academy to make concessions.

...

In the office of the dean of the Imperial Academy.

At this moment, Arthas is sitting on the sofa, with a cup of hot tea on the coffee table in front of him, as if reminding Arthas not to be impatient.

Arthas looked at Luca who was sitting at the desk and said with a smile:

"Dean Luca, I haven't been back here for a long time. Under your governance, the Imperial College has been thriving recently."

"No, no, Your Majesty, you are joking." Luca listened to Arthas's polite words without any sense of happiness.

Of course, he knew what Arthas's purpose was. The two of them would just chat for a few words, reminisce about the past, get close to each other, and then they would confess their purposes.

"Your Majesty, it is really a great honor for you to visit the Imperial College in your busy schedule."

"Haha, after all, I am also a student of the Imperial College, and I have served as the student union president. The Imperial College has always been very good in my impression. As for what you said, coming here in your busy schedule is actually to solve some problems."

"Oh?"

Seeing Arthas get straight to the point, Luca was ready to play dumb.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean? If there is anything we can do to help Your Majesty, we will do our best to help."

"Of course, you can definitely help me."

Alsace said:

"Before, the Imperial Court tried a case. Sherlock, an important witness in the case, appeared at the scene and was threatened by a subordinate who betrayed me. He gave contrary testimony, which brought our trial of the criminal to a standstill. I came here to take these two people away. I heard that they came to the Imperial Academy for refuge before, right?"
