Funinna, please let me steal your heart!

She let go, and Navia hurriedly steadied herself to avoid falling flat on her face.

Just as Navia was about to grumble a little, she saw Luna sitting on the table, gazing thoughtfully out the window.

She had a confident, flamboyant, and glamorous demeanor from the moment we met, but now she seems incredibly quiet and gentle.

As Navia thought about it, she got up from her chair and sat down on the table with a whoosh.

"After we succeed, how about we go get something nice to eat? It's on me."

"Don't open the champagne halfway through the game."

Navia looked around.

"...Where can I get some champagne to open?"

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The defense attorney took a big gulp of water, then exhaled and said earnestly, "Please tell me the whole truth before the trial. We professional defense attorneys are absolutely confidential."

Judith remained silent.

"Please believe me! Otherwise, we won't be able to win this trial and prove your innocence."

"...What if I'm not innocent?"

He leaned on the table and said seriously, "It's our duty to prove your 'innocence.' At the very least, we can try to get you the maximum possible reduction in your sentence."

Judith nodded slowly: "I understand... I did it..."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.

“I’m sorry, Mary…”

"...Although it is very painful, please tell me the whole truth."

Then time gradually passed.

Half an hour later, the trial resumed.

28: Trial is also a stage

Navelette tapped her cane.

"Then the trial shall continue."

Fu Ningna leaned against the armrest, covered her mouth, and yawned: "Yawn, can't stop... Half an hour has passed, does the accused have anything to say about the accuser's statement?"

Admittedly, during the trial, Furnessa was just a spectator, like the rest of the audience.

But being a deity, every word and gesture of his drew attention.

No one can or should ignore her.

Therefore, her words often carry considerable weight, influencing the development and direction of the trial.

After all, this is not just a trial, but also part of a "drama".

When she asked that question, the audience all turned to look at the person being accused.

"Regarding the accuser's statement just now..." The defense attorney adjusted his glasses, about to respond.

Luna said in a clear voice, "I'm very sorry, but after half an hour of reflection, I've realized that their relationship is not the key point of this trial."

The defense attorney was momentarily speechless.

Even though it had only been a short time since the restart, Luna had already drawn everyone back into her own rhythm.

It was as if the trial itself was a stage prepared for her.

"Isn't that the key point?" Funina asked.

"Yes."

Luna nodded and gestured to Navia.

Navia took out her notebook: "According to the testimonies we investigated, their relationship was very close, and it would have been impossible for them to kill Miss Mary under normal circumstances."

Judith asked, puzzled, "Then you..."

"But what if it's an 'abnormal' situation?"

Navia closed her notebook and raised her hand.

She announced loudly, "The prosecution is requesting evidence—notes from the recently arrested members of the Les trafficking gang. This evidence should be in the court's evidence vault. I know they will definitely make a note of it..."

Because if they don't do this, they have no way of knowing who is broke.

There's no way of knowing who can be sent to generate more profit.

Les?

"How did this thing suddenly appear?"

"Huh? What's Les?"

"Wasn't that one of the good deeds of 'Unjust Carles'? The special drink he banned..."

"The one who was recently arrested? Wasn't that the work of the Phantom Thief White Cat?"

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Funina frowned slightly; it was Les again.

Recently, there have been many more cases of Les trafficking, and they are quite difficult to handle. Every time, the police arrive in a hurry, but the other party has already escaped.

She slapped the handrail: "Approved!"

Navelette glanced at Frynn and nodded to the guards below the stage.

Shortly afterward, the police retrieved the trafficking gang's notes.

“Miss Judith and Miss Mary’s names should be on it,” Luna said.

"...Got it, it's on page six. Please take a look, Lord Vilette."

Navelette took the notes handed to her by the guards and studied them carefully for a while.

"Indeed, Judith and Mary Bestina's names are on it, and they've bought Less the number of times... thirty and thirteen respectively. They're clearly addicted to Less."

Furina asked again, puzzled, "The two of them are addicted to Les—but what does that mean?"

Luna pressed her hand to her chest, her lips parting slightly:

"Please be patient, Lady Funina. Lady Vilette, I would also like to trouble you to have the Court of Justice bring the confiscated Les to this stage so that I can explain it better."

Villette pondered for a moment, thinking to herself: This can be considered a reminder to everyone.

So he nodded in agreement.

A short while later, the guards brought up a tightly sealed box of evidence.

After using tools to open it, one of the bottles of Les Espresso was placed on the display stand.

Luna and Navia arrived at the display stand.

"This is Les, the drink my father tried his best to ban, but it's still sold in the shadows of Fontainebleau. It looks just like an ordinary beverage..."

Navia scanned all the faces below the stage, her tone calm and firm.

"However, long-term consumption can lead to strong dependence, and if you don't drink it, you will feel tired and anxious all day long."

Luna raised her index finger and continued, "Please take a good look! Beware of people around you who try to sell you similar items. Once you get involved, at best your family will be ruined, and at worst you'll die without a burial place."

She paused, her breath hitching, and her steps faltered.

"Miss Judith and Miss Mary are both addicted to luxuries, and Miss Mary has hidden her secret stash of money all over the house—"

Funina stood up from her chair and blurted out, "I understand!"

What did their beloved water god understand?

Everyone in the audience thought the same thing.

Frynn was always ambivalent during the trial.

She sometimes makes some rather "brilliant" (in a negative sense) reasoning.

Sometimes, at subtle and crucial moments, they will utter insightful (in a positive sense) conjectures.

Sometimes it leaves the accuser looking dazed and lifeless;

At times, it makes the accused break out in a cold sweat.

Therefore, Furnessa's reasoning is one of the important reasons why they enjoy watching the trial.

"Judith is a domestic abuser!"

The audience was in an uproar.

"Wow, that's terrifying!?"

"After all, they're all addicted to Les..."

"It has indeed caused a great deal of harm..."

Fulina sighed deeply: "It's not hard to imagine the extent to which a poison that can seriously affect one's mind can corrupt a person."

“'Mary, I’m out of money, please give me some, let me have another bottle!'”

“No, Judith, you and I can’t keep going down this path.”

"'Give it to me!'—saying this, she changed her personality, killed Mary, and buried her somewhere no one knew."

"Ah, what a pathetic and despicable woman, who harmed her closest loved ones with poison, yet dared not face reality... However, the regret and tragedy were already set in stone, and there was no turning back."

"The sinner will ultimately face a merciless yet perfect judgment of justice!"

Tears.

The audience shook their heads and sighed, as if they had witnessed the birth of a tragedy.
