Chapter 456 (2/2)
Brandon smiled solemnly: ”your attention to legal justice is admirable... But do you care nothing about the truth?”
”The truth?” Victor's tone was sarcastic: ”what truth?”
”Your Highness Brandon, we are not the Holy Cross. We have no eyes that can see through everything! We can never know what happened that night - all we can do is find the right balance among very limited facts.”
”That is justice, that is the law of the Empire!”
”But if there is no truth, what is the meaning of the so-called 'justice'?” Brandon asked with a smile:
”If we just look at the things in front of us, if it doesn't matter what the truth is, what should we believe... Justice and justice obtained by praying to the Holy Cross?”
”Uncle Victor, I respect you very much - not because of your good handwriting, but because you can still maintain yourself and never compromise in front of my forever bright, great and correct father and emperor, and in front of those rich families and nobles; only people like you can withstand great pressure to safeguard the justice and law of the saxophone empire.”
”Please do not let law and justice become interest tools to maintain the stability of the Empire.”
”That will only disappoint those who once trusted you and worshipped you!”
With a long breath, Brandon stopped talking and sat in his chair waiting for the former chief justice in front of him to make his final decision.
With his eyes closed, Victor Seuss seemed to be lost in thought.
After a long silence, the justice with complex eyes raised his head: ”do you believe that your wizard consultant can find the truth and sufficient evidence behind this matter and overturn the case for Lusaka kovo?”
Brandon's childish face showed a sunny smile:
”If he can find the secret of vampires in vimpal, catch the evidence of aristocratic rebellion in shenlinbao, and dig out the Holy Blood potion and the plot of the Bellini family in eboden...”
”Yes, I am 100% confident that Loren Turin can find the truth.”
”And no one but him can do it!”
Victor finally frowned, as if he was calculating the pros and cons of the two things. His thinking eyes stared at the case narrative on the book case, and there were indeed many very obvious points.
Of course, he knew something was strange, and he didn't want to check it. He was just worried that too much would be involved and cause a series of fluctuations.
The death of a former minister is dangerous enough.
”A month,” said Victor suddenly.
”Alas?”
”The latest trial time is one month after the crime, two days have passed, and there are still 28 days left.” the tone of the chief justice was solemn and resolute:
”After that, I must explain to your majesty and the Empire.”
”If Loren Turin can find evidence to overturn the existing trial before then... I won't ask again.”
”But before that, in order to avoid suspicion, you must also take the initiative not to leave the sky and cut off all relations with this matter, OK?”
”Of course, no problem!”
”Could you do me another favor?”
”Yes, yes, please, please!”
”Get out!”
