"quiet!!"
A deep shout came from the high platform, and the square gradually quieted down.
Tens of thousands of free citizens looked up at the nobles sitting in the stands.
Richard, who had become the focus of the entire audience, slowly stood up and said calmly, "On my Chiffon stage, she only has one identity: a contestant, nothing else."
"So the champion is Tina Vera, but you, Cecilia White Heron, dared to instruct your servants to harm other contestants during Chiffon's event. You need to give me an explanation."
Now it was Cecilia's turn to be stunned. Faced with Richard's cold gaze, her hands and feet gradually grew cold.
Chiffon is Richard's home.
From the day he decided to build a large stage, security has been his top priority and the aspect he most wanted to test.
After all, even he knew that Chiffon's development and construction speed was somewhat beyond his capabilities.
A unicorn knight order and a group of war mages suddenly appeared in a territory that had been cultivated for less than a year.
There is also a group of snow rabbits who are sold as commodities with clear price tags anywhere in the human world.
These things piled together are like a bonfire lit in a black pine forest; mosquitoes and other insects within a radius of several kilometers will be drawn to the light.
He had to make sure the fire only illuminated the areas that needed to be illuminated, and didn't burn down the entire forest.
The defenses had already been set up.
In the open, there were servants and city defense soldiers who served as sentries in the streets and alleys, on the city walls, in the artisan districts, and in the fields.
In the shadows, the Imperial Guards watch over the entire ground from high above. After drinking the Eagle Eye Potion, not even a stray cat could escape their eyes as it scurried past a corner.
Even those mysterious trees in the city, some over twenty meters tall, have dense canopies that serve as excellent covert watchtowers.
During the first week of the qualifying matches, Im's monitoring summary reports were full of new twists and turns every day.
Someone disguised himself as a merchant and loitered around the outer wall of the artisan district repeatedly, where he was watched by the Imperial Guard for a full two hours.
That night, the man was cornered by Shadow Blade in a temporary tent outside the city, and by dawn the next day, he was gone.
Outside the artisan area, several wooden signs have been erected, reading "Military restricted area, those who spy will be killed."
Someone pretended to be lost and made his way to the vicinity of the serfs' settlement, trying to strike up a conversation with the Snow Rabbit tribe. Before the patrolling city defense troops arrived, a white flame silently descended from the sky.
The man was pinned to the ground and was still protesting his innocence, saying that he had come to find a public toilet and that he confessed everything after Im broke two of his ribs.
They were sent by the slave-catching team.
An old friend!
No question, chop it up and throw it into the latrine to compost.
Even more outrageous, some people set up a makeshift lookout point on the mountainside in an attempt to observe the unicorn's movements.
He thought he had disguised himself well, but people have to move around, and from the sky, it was obvious.
When the man was arrested, he was still drawing sketches on parchment. The sketches were quite detailed and beautiful, so Im framed them and displayed them in his bedroom.
As for the person who paints?
Compost!
Compost them all!
Later, in Im's latest report, a girl named Cecilia was found to be acting strangely.
She walked alone with her dog out of the inner city, and paused to look around the outer wall of the artisan district, her behavior suspicious.
Later, he ran to the path by the river, lingered there, and looked around until the sun went down before leaving.
Actually, these behaviors are all fine.
What's most peculiar about her is that she is clearly a noblewoman.
She was wearing a gorgeous long dress and jewelry, but she didn't have a single servant or guard by her side.
Do you think this is your home?
Aren't you afraid of being kidnapped and forced to create babies?
Therefore, the Imperial Guard listed her as a target for close surveillance and recorded her every move.
Not only her, but also her servants, reported on Richard's desk every day, detailing who they met, what they did, and even what they ate.
For several evenings afterward, Cecilia would appear on the riverbank on time, leading her round St. Bernard through the same stretch of the river.
That's why Richard was able to tell her immediately when they met the day before yesterday that her Saint Bernard wasn't tired, but hungry.
I deliberately starved myself for three days!
How cruel!
Based on her unusual behavior over the past few days, as well as the hungry dog's actions, Richard seemed to have guessed her purpose.
I want to get closer to myself.
It just goes to show that fame brings trouble, especially these past few days, with not only a few members of the "Northern Alliance" but also many nobles arriving.
Their purpose was obvious: they used all sorts of tricks to get close to Richard, hoping to get some benefits or something that would be advantageous to them.
Some people want to become familiar with the place and hope to receive a hundred magic lamps as a return gift.
Some just wanted to see Richard more often and drink a few glasses of the Venus wine that Chiffon Castle specially uses to entertain nobles.
There were also those who recommended their own daughters, trying to marry into the Qifeng family.
One of the girls was quite interesting; she kept saying that the color scheme of her chiffon cake's magic lamp matched the color scheme of her castle perfectly.
Listen to this!
What kind of talk is that?!
However, Richard patiently listened for half an hour before politely seeing her off.
Therefore, Cecilia, who dressed up in her finest clothes and even fed mosquitoes by the river to create a chance encounter, always put in more effort and had more patience than other girls.
To prevent the Saint Bernard from starving, Richard decided to give her a chance and took the dog to see her.
To be honest, his first impression of Cecilia was pretty good, and he had no complaints about her.
I can get along better with those eccentric girls who can't stop talking about jewelry.
He speaks eloquently and knows how to behave appropriately. He can answer questions fluently about dog breeds and speaks knowledgeably about interesting stories about hunting grounds in the North.
She could occasionally pick up on his conversation and extend it naturally, without interrupting or creating awkward silences.
But that impression quickly changed.
Last night, Im delivered an urgent report: Around dusk, Cecilia's servants deliberately created a disturbance outside stone house number seventeen.
They lured a girl named Tina Vera outside, then pushed her down from behind. In the chaos, the servant pretended to accidentally break her leg.
The incident was witnessed by two guards on duty in the mysterious tree canopy, who also recorded the entire event.
The reason they didn't intervene was because the stone house at number twenty-one also had a problem, and it was even more important.
In order not to alert the enemy, the Imperial Guards waited until the commotion subsided before moving Tina Vera to a new residence.
The Apostle of Life took over the treatment, and the Light of Life healed the fracture in just two breaths.
According to Chiffon law, allowing a servant to commit a crime is equivalent to committing a crime oneself. Since Cecilia was not driven away by the egrets, her actions can represent the egret family.
Richard had originally intended to have a proper talk with Viscount White Heron after the Chiffon Grand Stage performance, out of respect for him.
Who would have thought that Cecilia, having failed in her first attempt, would dare to cause trouble openly on stage.
An indescribable feeling of nausea welled up from the bottom of his heart.
Since she doesn't give him face, he won't give her any either.
Cecilia's face turned deathly pale!
She moved her lips for a long time before remembering to defend herself.
"I didn't! That was just the servant acting on his own! Your Excellency Richard, I'm innocent!"
Her voice trembled as she looked pleadingly at the high platform, hoping the other nobles would help her out of respect for her father!
"Uncle Nanier! Uncle Blair! You must be my witnesses!"
Unfortunately, the noble district remained silent, and none of the barons who were on good terms with Viscount White Heron stood up to speak for her.
She still wouldn't give up.
"Your Excellency Richard, I am the daughter of the White Heron family! You cannot treat me like this!"
Richard waved his hand expressionlessly, signaling the city guards to arrest her and take her to the court for trial.
Now is not the time to play house with children. There are more important things to deal with, and we must settle things properly in front of tens of thousands of people!
