"Duke, even if my life is on the edge, I would never think of joining you. Rather than wasting your precious time, it would be better if you didn't have to bother teasing me." Marquess Nore nonchalantly said without looking towards Robert who was approaching her.
The man did not care at all and did not show his modesty even though Robert's noble status was above him. For some reason, the belief in Rossy's words made his heart become much calmer, and increasingly convinced Marquess Nore to side with where
The attitude and words of Marquess Nore certainly provoked Robert's anger. However, unfortunately the other nobles began to arrive and signify if the court will begin soon.
"Based on being arrogant, we'll see! Whether the imperial family will side with your daughter or crush her into small pieces" Robert sneered and walked away from the smiling and calm Marquess Nore.
The Crown Prince and Rossy entered the trial area, followed by Prince Alexander behind.
All seemed to whisper with the arrival of William and Rossy who was not as usual, because it seemed William took Rossy either as a courtesy or there was a certain other purpose.
Rossy's face looks not as comfortable as usual, but he must still look calm and refrain from looking back to see Alexander.
The trial was opened, and went pretty well.
During the trial, Isabella was silent without defending herself. The girl seemed to have surrendered herself and admitted all the mistakes she had made.
An hour passed without any parties attacking each other, until the decision taken by the Crown Prince left the entire empire dumbfounded.
When Isabella's fate is on edge for nearly poisoning Rossy on purpose, William uses his veto as crown prince to save the girl's fate.
The veto is the only one not used once in a lifetime to defend a person in court, by the emperor or the heir who will soon occupy the top throne of the empire.
It also indicates if William declared that he was ready to leave the status of crown prince, and will rise to become an Emperor.
"With the veto of His Highness the Crown Prince, Lady Isabella Antonius Nore is hereby acquitted of all charges and convictions which entangle him."
Geck! Geck! Geck!
The judge's hammer three times tapped the sign of the end of the trial. Isabella, who did not think that she was free from beheading, immediately calmed down and cried while saying a word of gratitude.
Marquess Nore unhappily hugged her daughter who looked thinner and shabby than before. His great affection for Isabella was so visible that it touched the hearts of anyone who witnessed it.
"Damn!" robert then stepped out of the courtroom.
One by one the nobles began to leave the Castle, leaving behind the Marquess Nore family as well as the imperial family.
Isabella ran over to Rossy and knelt down, apologizing and thanking him for Rossy's generosity.
"That's it, I know if you're not that bad and I believe you'll change for the better" Rossy smiled.
"Thank you, Lady Rossy. My son and I apologise for everything that happened. I swear it will be an imperial shield my entire life" Marquess Nore said solemnly.
After everyone left the castle, Rossy could now sigh in relief. The burden that had been trapping him seemed to disappear without remaining.
But suddenly, someone clasped his arm from behind. Rossy turned his head and looked at Alexander who said, "I want to talk to you, Lady!"
