trial (4)

“I have an objection!!”

As soon as I requested the summons of a witness, the plaintiff’s attorney raised one hand and shouted like a kindergartener crossing a crosswalk.

“You are bringing witnesses to the court that you did not ask for beforehand!! This will never happen!! Please dismiss it even for the sake of court order!!”

If this request for a witness is granted, the still slim victory is completely lost.

No, it would not end to the extent of losing the trial, and the entire family might be ruined, so they could never tolerate it.

“No, that’s right!! I don’t know much about the law, but shouldn’t I apply for it in advance like evidence?”

“Isn’t it true that one of the kingdom’s judges is not breaking the law?!”

It was when the judge was perplexed when those words poured out of their mouths.

Unlike those who spit out their words violently, I spoke in a calm voice that made me feel friendly.

“Judge. The plaintiff’s counsel also has some truth.”

They didn’t think that those words would come out of my mouth, so they stopped talking for a moment and looked at me.

“If you wish, you can formally request the summons of a witness at the next trial. But if they do, there is a risk that they will run away.”

“What, what?! Dare to be a semi-baron… !!”

“what if!!!”

Ami of the pongpong mother and daughter tried to shout indignantly, but before she could finish, I cut her off with a cheery voice.

“what if… If the witnesses I summoned tell the truth about Pierre’s death, their status will not end in relegation to baroness.”

Since he took unfair profits by pretending to be the descendants of a hero for hundreds of years, he will surely die without ending the confiscation of the territory.

“In such a situation, it is perfectly natural to think that they may run away because they are not well behaved. Maybe he’s trying to assassinate me.”

“Well… … .”

As the clenched judge’s face gradually tilted toward me, I smiled inwardly and continued.

“So, although it is very unusual for a court to do so, I would like to ask you to allow me to apply for this witness. Most of all, I want to tell the truth about his death.”

When he emphasized the truth related to Pierre’s death, he sent his eyes to the judge, feeling the pressure of sympathy even in the audience.

Not just aristocrats, but when the crowd, including many influential people from all over the world, looked at them like that, the presiding judge, a public official, sighed and said.

“… … The objection of the plaintiff’s counsel is dismissed. Judging from the precedent, this is rare, but it certainly has been, taking into account the fact that the defendant was not accompanied by a lawyer and did not know much about the law.”

“Hey, that’s absurd… !!”

“It’s stupid!! This trial is absurd!”

When the mother and daughter jumped up from their seats and tried to go outside, I tried to get them out, but their lawyers stopped this.

Since it is a trial that will lose anyway, it might be better to get out and run away quickly, but it is the same as admitting your guilt for doing so.

After the lawyer’s persistent persuasion gave them up and sat down again, I stepped forward and reached out to the witness stand.

“Marga.”

As I slowly memorized his name with my eyes closed, the ground began to shake, and small grains of sand appeared in the empty air.

The grain of sand literally grew in the blink of an eye and swelled to the size of a large rock, and on the rock a face that looked like an old man was engraved.

“Oh oh… !!”

When the rare high spirits of the earth appeared, everyone, including the judge, couldn’t help but cry.

Perhaps because Marga was a spirit that was with Pierre, Karen and his party looked as if they had met the star they were longing for.

“Uh, uh… !!”

On the other hand, when Karn and the party were shining their eyes, there was no smile on the faces of the mother and daughter Pong Pong and the lawyer.

“Uh… .”

Marga slowly opened her eyes, looked around, and frowned as if she understood the situation.

“… … … Was it that hard to just be quiet?”

“It’s nothing compared to not being able to walk, but it was very difficult!!”

“… … … crazy guy.”

Having said that, Marga was smiling as if she had expected such a situation in her heart.

“So what do you want from me?”

“You must have known already? to the judge… No, I just have to tell everyone here everything I saw and heard that day.”

“… … … good night.”

After moving from the witness stand to the center of the courtroom, Marga slowly opened her mouth.

“Then where do we start… .”

*****

“That way… Pier has died and has reached the present. After that, Robo turned into a beast and kept guarding Pierre’s grave until he died at the hands of that guy.”

As Marga’s story continued, the faces of everyone in the courtroom turned red.

His anger could be guessed from the shaking hands of the judge who was supposed to remain neutral, not to mention Karn and his party.

Those who had heard my story in advance seemed to have a relatively low impact, but the other audience were not.

Some people were shocked by a scandal that was more shocking than they could have imagined, while others were outraged like their own.

“Calvo!!”

Starting with those words that we don’t know who threw them out, they poured out harsh words that could only be heard in a tavern frequented by commoners, even the children of aristocratic families.

“Did you dare pretend to be the subject hero who inherited such dirty blood!! You sluts!!”

“Take it down!! Take it down and tear your mouth so that you don’t spit lies again!!”

“right!! right!! rip off the mouth that hangs on the bottom, not the top!!”

When I heard a sweet sound that could be called an orchestra of profanity, I closed my eyes and watched the profanity directed at the mother and daughter.

‘Good!! Really good!!’

When I looked at the faces of the mother and daughter, they were shaking and shaking with a strange expression of anxiety, fear, and anger.

When I saw that face looking at Marga with a resentful expression, grinding her teeth as if resentful, I couldn’t help but smile.

“Hmm… ! everyone… !! Still on trial. Please keep quiet for a smooth trial!”

The booing continued for over 10 minutes, and the judge, who regained his sanity, calmed the audience.

“Then the plaintiff’s attorney… . witness… I don’t know if it’s okay to call him, but since his testimony seems to be over, is there anything to question?”

“Hey, there is… !!”

Like the mother and daughter, the lawyer, who was terrified, swallowed his saliva and jumped up from his seat and shouted.

“witness!! Is the witness really the spirit that was with Pierre-sama?!”

“Human, what do you mean?”

When Marga asked the question a little angrily, the lawyer paused for a moment, but, having nowhere to back down, he quickly shouted at Marga again.

“Literally!! How will you prove that the witness is a spirit with Pierre-sama?! Apparently, the witness is in a contract with the defendant, but could it be that he had an affair with the contracted spirit?!”

It was an insult to being a con artist, but Marga did not get angry and looked at the lawyer with a look of pity.

‘devil… .’

Being caught by some rag-like women, I’m in a position to make excuses that I can’t afford to listen to… .

He had a little sympathy for him as he was shivering in sweat and spitting out a word.

“Even if it was you, it is not proof that such a thing really happened!! Maybe you’re lying, don’t you?!”

“You bastard bastard!! How dare you insult someone who is with a hero!!”

“After the trial, that bastard should hang up with those bitches!!”

Karn’s group, who couldn’t hold back their words, became indignant, and Marga sighed and said.

“… Don’t be so hot. Attorney… You won’t believe me. Are you saying this?”

“Yeah, yes!!”

“Then don’t swear by my existence. Everything I have said today is true, and if this is a lie, my body will be shattered to pieces.”

“Ahh… … !!”

The oath made by the spirits on its existence is actually effective, and if it is violated, its body will collapse and degenerate into a semi-spirit that does not even have an ego.

Perhaps he knew that fact, the lawyer wondered if he could say anything more, but then his eyes lit up and he did not give up and shouted.

“Ze, even if what the witness said is true, that is not enough evidence that the plaintiff is not of Pierre’s descendants!!”

“Why not enough? Did you say that?”

When asked a question from a pure question, he trembled and uttered sounds that at first glance seemed to make sense.

“Because he may have been wrong! Even if there was an affair, it does not necessarily prove that you are not the parent!!”

As they said, they didn’t confirm the paternity by word of mouth, so maybe they just misunderstood.

But… .

“Then please bring the evidence to support what the lawyer just said.”

“… … Yes?”

“It is literally. If you think so, please bring evidence to support your claim. of course… … .”

If you can prove that what a man who died 200 years ago said was a lie.

The testimony I gave was what he said, so there was no need to seek additional evidence to confirm the facts, but his case was different.

To prove his claim, he needed evidence to support it.

“Ah, ah, ah… !!!”

The lawyer, well aware that the evidence would never be available, sank to the floor as if giving up everything.

However, unlike the lawyer who gave up everything, the mother of the pongpong mother and daughter jumped up from her seat as if she could not give up yet.

As everyone turned their attention to her sudden action, she took off the glove she was wearing and threw it at me.

“Wow, I am asking for a duel for insulting my family!! Come on, pick up your gloves!!”

As the gloves thrown at me fell to the ground without a hitch, I heard laughter from the audience.

“What happened to that bitch’s hair?”

“A duel in a situation like this… .”

“It is a duel without honor or anything. Unless you’re an idiot, I can’t accept it.”

As they said, it was foolish to accept a duel trial in a trial where my victory was already confirmed.

However, contrary to their expectations, I jumped up from the defendant’s seat and picked up the gloves she had thrown at me.

“good night! Don’t accept that duel!!”

“… … What?”

It was the person who applied for the duel who made such a stupid sound. The judge asked me as everyone, not just her, tilted their heads wondering what she had heard wrong.

“defendant… Are you really okay with me? If you lose this duel… .”

“I am well aware, Judge. Everyone knew it and accepted it.”

After hesitating for a while, after confirming that my will was firm, the judge struck the doctor with a bang.

“… … Then there is nothing you can do. According to the customs of the duel, the outcome of this trial will be the winner of the duel!”

“No, that’s ridiculous!!”

With everyone shouting nonsense, I shouted with all my might to the fool who gave himself his last chance to die in peace.

“Don’t tear your pussy to shreds as many times as your mother had abortions!! Fucking dogs!! Balhahaha!!!”
