~4 min read 765 words

"Now the old forces have been eradicated, and Neuvillette's position is stable. We just need to help solve the public opinion, and he can pardon Vautrin. By then……"

"That makes sense!"

"……"

Amidst the discussion, the trial officially began!

These opportunists indeed started to exert effort as planned.

One by one, they stood up to defend Vautrin.

"Mr. Vautrin upheld justice and took revenge for his friend, which is also a manifestation of justice!"

"I want to ask everyone to search your hearts, if you had experienced this, wouldn't you have the same thoughts as Mr. Vautrin?"

"……"

"……"

"I believe Mr. Vautrin should be innocent!"

"Innocent!"

"Innocent!"

Hearing the audience's rebuttal, Vautrin looked at Neuvillette, who was standing in the judge's seat.

"Neuvillette-sama……"

"Silence!"

Neuvillette said in a deep voice, then sighed softly.

After a moment of silence, he spoke again.

"I acknowledge this point: Vautrin, your revenge counts as a simple kind of justice!"

Saying that, Neuvillette looked at Vautrin, his eyes a bit complex.

"I understand your choice."

"But I express deep regret for the upcoming trial, and even feel very heartbroken."

Then his gaze turned to the audience below, his eyes becoming firm.

"However, personal justice is not equivalent to legal justice."

"For the sake of revenge, Vautrin abused his power and set up private lynching."

"His actions are completely contrary to the law!"

"Therefore, I believe you… are guilty!"

As soon as these words came out, it not only shocked the audience at the opera house.

Even many people watching the light screen were shocked.

For a moment, they all doubted if they had heard wrong?

…

On the light screen, the picture continued.

The audience at the opera house didn't expect such a trial result.

After those opportunists came to their senses, they still wanted to persuade him again.

However, Neuvillette ignored them and looked at Vautrin.

"Vautrin… do you have anything else to say?"

"Neuvillette!"

Vautrin stared straight at this Chief Justice.

In his emotions, it seemed like something was brewing.

Suddenly, he opened his hands and roared "angrily" at the high platform.

"Where did I ever fail you?"

"I completed every one of your orders seriously!"

"Now!"

"All the audience believes I am innocent!"

"Why won't you let me go?"

Speaking of this, Vautrin took a deep breath and roared with all his might.

"Is this the justice in your eyes?"

"Answer me!"

"Neuvillette!!"

The scene also began to stir.

However, Neuvillette didn't reply, but let the Oratrice make the final decision.

Soon, the result came out!

"According to the trial result given by the Oratrice Mecanique d'Analyse Cardinale, Mr. Vautrin… is guilty!"

Accompanied by Neuvillette's complex and firm words,

the video ended!

The video wasn't long, but after watching it, everyone fell into silence and contemplation.

The classic trial mentioned by the light screen brought them too many surprises and shocks!

And more thinking!

For a time, everyone was speechless for a long time.

……

Fontaine, Palais Mermonia.

Originally, Neuvillette was mourning the passing of Carole.

And after seeing this trial scene, his eyes became complex again.

At this time, a voice came from beside him, making him stunned.

"This Vautrin is a bit strange?"

"That look just now… it seems like he was performing!"

Performing?

Neuvillette was stunned after hearing this, then hurriedly looked at Furina beside him.

"Ms. Furina, you just said… performing?"

"That's for sure!"

"Don't forget, besides being the Hydro Archon, I am also Fontaine's most popular superstar!"

"No one understands performance better than me!"

Furina patted her chest, looking proud.

However, she seemed to realize she had let something slip, so she hurriedly changed the subject.

"Through my professional eyes, Vautrin's expression just now was a bit exaggerated."

"It didn't look like his inner thoughts at all."

"Moreover, this is somewhat inconsistent with his previous decisive behavior!"

"Furthermore, the light screen mentioned that Vautrin was willing to bear all punishment."

"Connecting the above situations, I suspect the other party was performing."

"As for the purpose, perhaps……"

"Perhaps it was for you and the justice in your heart!"

"You have a good subordinate, Neuvillette!"

Speaking of this, Furina's tone became emotional.

Entering the game with his own body, it was both to achieve Neuvillette and for his own justice!

How similar it is to her current situation!

"So that's how it is……"

After listening to Furina's analysis, Neuvillette's expression was enlightened.

He really hadn't thought it was like this.

But thinking about it carefully, it really might be possible!

Because when he was judging, he felt that Vautrin's emotions were very complex.
