How to wear a goddess statue

Chapter 083 After the Trial

There was a sudden silence in the audience, as if the pause button had been pressed.

People looked up and saw that most of the people here were not direct victims, they just wanted to watch the trial, just like sparrows would hop around to watch the commotion when they saw their kind fall from a tree branch.

But at this moment, they suddenly had a real sense of the scene in front of them.

Many people escaped the natural disaster, but died in the camp.

They might not have died in the first place. It was the dignitaries who withheld the supplies sent by Wangcheng, which led to their deaths.

In addition, there are some people who already have hatred in their eyes, because of these words, the hatred is like sparks colliding suddenly, all of them burst out.

I don't know who was the first to shout: "Behead!"

"Behead!"

"Execution!"

More and more people joined in the shouting.

The loud shouts contained the anger of the crowd, and the little girl's sobs could be vaguely heard: "If they can take less food, will my mother not die?"

In front of the crown prince, Eleuil took the silver square hammer.

This is the tool of the presiding judge. Before announcing the final judgment result, the presiding judge will use it to tap the table three times, which means that the judgment is worthy of the goddess of justice, not deceiving the public, and worthy of himself.

Eleuil tapped it lightly three times, and the presiding officer changed positions.

Romul looked stunned and opened his mouth, but didn't say anything.

—he acquiesced.

The queen was not surprised.Turning around and facing the onlookers, he raised his hand, palm down, and pressed down slowly.

"Quiet."

The shouts subsided, and the crowd slowly returned to silence, with every pair of eyes fixed on the stage, waiting for the verdict to be pronounced.

Aleuil looked down at the crowd and said flatly, "According to the law, Finlie and others should be executed."

The city lord's face paled in an instant, and he stared at the princess: "My elder brother——"

The loud sound that followed overwhelmed the second half of his sentence, and the crowd cheered for a long time.

Eleuil put the square hammer back on the table casually, and placed it in front of Romul. The latter didn't look up, but just looked at the delicate hammer.

It wasn't until the cheers below subsided that the princess continued, "The place of execution is in the royal city, and the specific execution time will be determined by the relevant officials of Acht."

"Although it is far from the sight of everyone present, I guarantee that the sentence will be carried out smoothly, and none of them will come back alive to retaliate against you."

"Is it really possible?" Someone asked loudly, "I can't rest assured if I don't see them being executed with my own eyes!"

Listening to the voice, it seemed that he was the first to shout the slogan "death penalty".

Eleuil raised his hand, and stroked the corners of his upturned eyes with his fingertips.

She pointed to her own eyes, her words were extremely light, but also heavy.

"I will watch for you with these eyes."

Until it has become a fact, until the head of the confirmed criminal falls to the ground.

Everyone's eyes were focused on these eyes. Under the clear sky, the pure gold pupils were brighter than the halo of the sun, magnificent and convincing.

"We want to believe in you."

They all lowered their heads and saluted with a strange but sincere attitude.

The dignitaries who were sentenced to death couldn't suppress their emotions, howled in despair, and blamed each other, which was the only thing they could do now.

Not caring about the wailing sounded behind him, Aleuil raised his head slightly, looking to the rear of the crowd, a little higher.

It was empty there, but the princess always felt that if Rhodes was present, she would stay here.

In your name, I close this sentence.

So, are you watching?

Aleuil's eyes fixed on the open space, and she raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a relaxed smile for the first time in two days.

At the end of the princess' line of sight, Rhodes stood in the form of a spirit body.

During the entire trial, she barely moved her position.

Watching on the sidelines is a state that Luotus is very accustomed to.

Many times, in public places, unless there is something to do, Rhodes is always silently watching the princess, whether it is a spirit or a physical body.

Maybe it's a habit left over from the time when he had to float by Eleuil's side as a spirit body, or maybe it's just because it's the most suitable.

This time was no exception, Rhodes looked at the princess's eyes from a distance with the crowd nearby who couldn't see her, with gentle eyes.

It's just that at a certain moment, like a human being suddenly seeing too dazzling light, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and the corners of her lips raised a little upward,

It's so dazzling.

The gods sighed like this.

But in the next second, Eleuil looked at where she was standing, his eyes shone with a different light than before, as if he had suddenly changed from the looming majestic brilliant sun to melting honey.

The princess would only show this kind of look to Rhodes.

Rhodes smiled knowingly, and just about to wave his hand lightly, he suddenly remembered——

She is a spirit body now.

Xinyue almost became frightened, Luo Dasi paused for two seconds, and moved aside expressionlessly.

Sure enough, the princess' gaze did not change, it still stayed where she was standing just now.

Rhodes: "..."

Good guess.

In the end, it's because we've been together for a long time, not only she understands Ailuil, but Ailiu also understands her in his own way.

Is this a good thing?

probably.

Luotus lowered his eyes, and for a long time, a chuckle that no one heard escaped from his lips.

------

After the trial, the caravan stayed in Diximon City for several days.

Once the city lord fell, the order in the city was naturally chaotic for a while. Immediately, a capable official took over and temporarily acted as the city lord after obtaining the consent of the princess and the crown prince.

Despite the dire situation, it is still gradually getting better.

The aftermath of the earthquake was no longer happening, and the officials waited for two days to confirm that it was safe.

So the first batch of victims returned to the repaired houses, and fixed relief food distribution points were set up in various directions in the city. People filled their stomachs and cleaned up the ruins.

There will be new buildings rebuilt on top of the ruins, and of course, they will be taller and more spacious than the old ones.

At the same time, there are more urgent tasks waiting for everyone.

For example, preventing the spread of plague after the disaster, such as reorganizing the farmland, and repairing and strengthening the levee damaged by the earthquake - this work must be completed before the arrival of the Yilu River's flood season next year, otherwise the people will have to leave this area. Avoid raging river waters that break their dams.

By then, the flooding will not only endanger the city of Di Simon, it is not just a matter of locals.

Therefore, Wangcheng will also allocate special funds and call in labor to try to repair the embankment in the shortest possible time.

In the hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

"These are our current plans, what do your Highnesses think?"

The official of the temporary city lord sent two papyrus full of handwriting, anxiously waiting for a response.

The two Highnesses he was talking about were naturally Aleuil and Romul.

If it was placed before, the planning only needs to be reviewed by the crown prince, but since the trial, no one in the city dared to underestimate the existence of the princess, and even subconsciously favored the prince's opinion.

Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

Even if he doesn't show it, he still cares more or less in private.

As for the status, what is the convention, Di Simon is so vital that he is barely able to survive, so he still cares about these things?

Besides, in terms of status, the princess is still the only direct line of the royal family, if the previous king hadn't passed away early...

The official lowered his head and sighed secretly.

At this moment, Eleuil put down the paper.

"Well planned, I have no other comments."

Romul took a step slowly: "...Me too."

The official felt relieved: "That would be great, thank you two Highnesses, I will give orders."

After the officials saluted, they left in a hurry.

The hall was empty, only the two royal families of this generation and their respective personal guards remained.

Aleuil stood up from the high-back chair, bowed politely: "I'll go first."

Anyone can tell that this is just superficial politeness.

Romul looked up: "Please wait a moment, Eleuil."

The princess paused: "What do you want to say?"

"This disaster relief, I made a serious mistake. Not only did I fail to do my job of relief, but also the trial of the corrupt... If there is another time, I will not hesitate."

"Reflection is good." Aleuil commented lightly, "However, there is no need to report to me."

Romul: "I'm not—"

"Where's the staff member who colluded with Fenlie Ni?" Aleuil suddenly asked.

The crown prince was taken aback for a moment, and after he realized it, he said, "Grey was given to me by my father. I will let the guards watch over him. When I return to Acht, I will hand him over to my father for decision."

Eleuil: "..."

So, isn't this still hesitating?

She made up her mind not to talk to Romul, and walked out of the hall quickly.

The fur cloak inlaid with velvet hung down and swayed slightly behind him, almost as neat and rustic as a cloak.

In the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, Rhodes sat on a stone bench, waiting for the princess to come out.

Not far away, several luxuriously dressed men and women were leading a little girl past, with rather sad expressions.

These people are relatives of a nobleman involved in corruption in the city. After the earthquake, they were sent to a safe city, and they did not experience a day of camp life.

Hearing the news that the nobles had been sentenced to death, they hurried back to visit the nobles who were temporarily imprisoned in the City Lord's Mansion, otherwise they might not see each other for the last time.

At this time, Eleuil's figure appeared at the gate of the city lord's mansion.

Before Rhodes got up and stepped forward, the relatives of the nobleman spotted the princess, looked there twice, and did not dare to approach.

But it was probably because they whispered something to each other, and the little girl who was protected in the middle suddenly rushed out of the adult's arms and ran towards the princess.

Her eyes were red from crying, her expression was sad and fierce, and she shouted at Aleuil:

"Bad guy! Did you kill my father? Why did you kill my father?"

Eleuil lowered his eyes and gave her a cold look.

The woman who looked to be her mother turned pale with fright, and hurried to cover her daughter's mouth: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, she is talking nonsense, and she didn't mean to offend you!"

Rhodes frowned and stood up.

Ailuil's eyes swept away, seeing her, his expression paused and gradually eased.

The princess raised her hand.

The aristocratic woman gasped, and quickly put her daughter in her arms to protect her.

But Aleuil didn't intend to touch anything, she raised her hand and made a gesture about the height of the girl in front of her.

"My teacher said that she saw a little girl begging for a small piece of bread, just to give it to her mother."

"Her mother is gone, though, because of what your father and his kind have done."

"Can you understand?"

The noble girl looked blank, but her mother bit her lip.

Eleuil bypassed the relatives of these nobles and walked straight to Rhodes.

Rhodes walked side by side with her naturally.

"You still remember."

"How could I forget what you told me?"

Behind him came the loud cry of a noble girl.

Rhodes heard the voice and whispered: "I thought you would be a little angry."

"I didn't have time, I couldn't get angry when I saw you, not to mention that girl didn't understand anything." Aleuil sighed, "In comparison, I was the most sensible when I was young."

Rhodes could not hold back a slight smile: "Yes, you are the most sensible."

Eleuil suddenly remembered something, his expression froze.

Seeing the princess stopped in her tracks, Rhodes asked, "What's wrong?"

Aleuil said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, I just think another word is more appropriate, such as calm and reliable."

Rhodes: "..."

If she remembers correctly, the word "sensible" was first mentioned by the princess.

The author has something to say:

2612: It’s not sensible but mature—we should try our best to reverse the impression of the cub period.

Rhodes:?

The sudden change of tone was childish.

Thanks to the little cutie who throws thunder, and compares my heart!
