Chapter 181 - 180. Devil’s Advocate (1)
The court was a marble building boasting the aesthetic architecture with the carved pillars and arched ceiling.
There were a lot of people gathered outside the building and most of them were commoners, there was also a line of carriages of the nobles who were currently attending the trial.
I had purposely gone a little late as I knew a lot of attention was already gathered for this particular incident but I had made preparations for my entry.
The defendant from Baron Oberon’s side was Earl Ludwig Clive, Luke’s father who was also an advocate by profession and I had asked him to become a stand in until I arrive with the real piece of evidence.
He had agreed solely because I had protected his son and their family’s dignity, and he also knew that I was basically trimming the Esmertia family one by one.
My carriage stopped right in front of the stairs that led up to the courthouse and even before I could step out I could feel the attention that the crest of my family name had garnered.
The carriage door opened and I stepped out of my vehicle. I didn’t look around but I could hear people gasping and whispering my name as I was an enigma.
"Ryujin family crest?!"
"That’s the rumoured Baron?"
"But wasn’t he an old man?"
"It must be his representative."
