Chapter 1615: The Gavel of Justice

No... is this kingdom this crazy?

I am a Prince, after all; just because I crossed the cordon and looked at the scenery for a few moments, they are throwing me into the dungeon?

Being tied up by guards with soft white silk ribbons, pushed onto a carriage, taken to a building with a very strange appearance, and locked in the innermost room, Li Ang, who had just entered the cell after getting off the airship, felt completely numb.

Strictly speaking, the place he was staying in now should be the prison of the Calevin Kingdom... at least that's what the sign outside the door said.

But the problem is that this prison is decorated too luxuriously; not only is it bright and clean, but there are oil paintings on the walls that look like masterpieces, and there is even a separate swimming pool!

What kind of criminal can swim in their own cell!

Without wasting any effort, Li Ang easily broke free from the white silk that tied his hands. The bewildered Li Ang walked around this super-luxury cell of more than 300 square meters, and then discovered with even more shock that the swimming pool could even be said to be the most ordinary configuration in this cell.

Not to mention anything else, the white leather on the small footstool used for changing shoes placed next to the entrance of the cell is a specialty of the Northern Kingdom.

Before he returned from the Northern Kingdom, he had thought about bringing some specialties for Anna and the others, so he had specifically learned about the prices of some things. A piece of artificial leather made from the fine fur under the armpits of giant snow mammoths the size of a palm could sell for more than 300 Gold Wheels.

And this small footstool used for changing shoes was covered with at least one square meter of artificial leather. It can be said that this inconspicuous little stool alone is worth several years of his salary at the Bureau of Cleanup!

This is really... really worth sitting on properly.

Although he had no pursuit of money and his material desires were not strong, facing this top-tier luxury item equivalent to several years of his salary, Li Ang couldn't help but feel curious and sat on it for a few more moments.

And this small stool, which was shockingly expensive, did not have any special feeling, as expected.

After looking at his gray work pants, which were harder than jeans, a hint of hesitation appeared in Li Ang's eyes, but in the end, he held onto his integrity and did not take off his pants to directly feel the top-tier sitting sensation of the snow mammoth fur, just reached out and touched it a few more times.

And just as Li Ang got up from the small stool, preparing to go and feel how awesome other things in the cell were, the cell door, which had been closed for less than three minutes, was opened from the outside.

Prince Vernon, who had just solemnly ordered the arrest, was standing outside the cell door with his guards, congratulating him with a face full of joy:

"Congratulations on your release, Lord Li Ang. I have already paid the fine for your crime of disturbing public order. Now you can leave."

"..."

So you made such a big scene just now, risking a serious diplomatic incident to have me arrested, just to keep me inside for three minutes? You... why don't you stop congratulating me and go see a doctor for your brain!

"Hehe, you might not be used to it, but this is the inviolable justice of our Calevin Kingdom."

With Li Ang's abnormally stiff expression, after letting him out of the cell, Prince Vernon explained with a smile:

"When the gavel is struck, the echo needs to resound in everyone's heart, not fade to silence in the ears of power... This is the text that the ancestor Calevin I wrote on the title page of the code when revising the law, and it is also the philosophy that our entire Calevin Kingdom believes in.

Whether it is a noble King or a lowly subject, if you violate the law, you should be punished. Wealth, status, and position must never become obstacles to justice. Justice must descend equally on everyone!"

"..."

Fine... anyway, I was only locked up for three minutes, so whatever you say is what it is...

Although he felt that they were a bit over-correcting and had turned Calevin I's good original intention into something crazy, thinking of the 【Justice】 bloodline flowing in the West Calevin royal family, Li Ang didn't say anything more, but asked patiently:

"Your country's customs are a bit special... Your Highness Vernon, may I ask how the investigation into Miss Olivia, whom I asked you to investigate before I came, is going?" "This... sorry..."

Hearing Li Ang's inquiry, Prince Vernon's expression stalled, and then he said with a hint of apology:

"On the first day after receiving your request, my mother mobilized a large number of people to search all the places in Lily City that sell alcohol, but failed to find the whereabouts of Miss Olivia you mentioned.

Our only gain was that when reviewing recent public security cases, we found a few small disturbances caused by her, but those who should have been in contact with her didn't seem to remember a person named Miss Olivia when asked."

Collective short-term amnesia among relevant personnel...

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but frown, knowing that it must be the Director who used 【Love Without Memory】 to wash away the memories of these people who had been in contact with her.

As an anomalous object that the Director often uses to temporarily escape the bill when she is drunk and doesn't have enough money, as long as one has even a tiny bit of affection, appreciation, or admiration for her, a large chunk of memory can be washed away by 【Love Without Memory】.

And although the Director is a complete drunkard, her appearance is indeed stunning. It is inevitable that people who see her for the first time will have a good impression of her, and it is basically impossible to avoid the memory cleaning of 【Love Without Memory】.

If she has been keeping 【Love Without Memory】 on, then everyone who sees her will forget her as soon as they turn their heads. His plan to find her through "official" means can basically be declared a complete failure.

"Then don't look for her for now."

!

After shaking his head helplessly, Li Ang asked:

"Your Highness Vernon, please take me to the palace first. I have some things to tell His Majesty the King... Oh, right."

Speaking of this, Li Ang looked at the other rooms in the prison, then looked at Prince Vernon and asked without blinking:

"Where is that security guard on the docking tower? I remember you brought him over too. Where is he?"

"He is locked in the prison on the other side."

Prince Vernon said with a smile:

"Although the two charges of dereliction of duty and clashing with a noble were taken by you, he did violate my father's order, so he cannot escape the crime of violating the royal order.

These people on the docking tower, because they come into contact with outsiders more often, are usually not careful enough about these things. Being punished a little this time will also help him remember."

Help him remember...

Locking onto a familiar, terrified Heart Lake through dozens of walls, Li Ang's brows couldn't help but knit again, then he stared at Prince Vernon and said:

"Your Highness Vernon, I am a bit curious about the punishment he is receiving. May I go over and take a look?"
